An engagement next month?

John was made restless by the news and frowned tightly.

How dare she forget that they were husband and wife in the eyes of the law?! Their marriage certificate was still valid!

How dare she submit herself to another man?!

Did she truly hate him so much that she would fling herself into the arms of another man and get engaged before even getting a divorce from him?

Jason was intimidated by John’s darkening demeanor and backed away cautiously. He asked warily, “Sir, what shall we do next?"

John frowned. He considered for a moment and decided. “Have our men keep an eye on Carl. Tell them to find out the exact date of their engagement."

“Understood,” Jason replied, and hurried out.

A depressing silence overtook the room.

John frowned and looked at the picture of Sherry on the report. He found himself caressing the picture with his fingers as if hoping to feel her touch through the picture.

How dare you get engaged to another man?

    Susan was focused on her objective and started right away. “Miss Sherry, what kind of dress do you like?” Sherry had no opinions. “Anything that suits me.” Susan smiled briskly before handing a booklet to Sherry. “Here are some of my recent designs, take a look and see if there’s anything that catches your eye.” Sherry took the booklet and began going through it. There were dresses of all sorts of colors, and all of them gave off a different impression but one thing they had in common was that they were all gorgeous beyond belief. There was one problem, however… Sherry asked hesitantly, “Susan, do you have anything that sports a long sleeve?” Susan did a double take. Lisa realized what Sherry meant and repeated the request, “Yeah, Susan, do you have anything long-sleeved for her?” “I do, but there’s only one design. It’s a rather new design, I only just made the dress yesterday,” Susan rose as she said this. Sherry and Lisa rose as well and followed her to

    Sherry told him, “Just a simple white dress." “In what style?" Carl approached her and smiled in a way only someone in love could. “Could you wear it again for me to see?" Any other time, Sherry would not entertain him at all and even ignore him, but since Lisa was right here with them, she could not brush him off condescendingly. She hesitated for a moment and told him, "I have a meeting later. I’m afraid I don’t have time to put on the dress for you to see now, let’s wait until next time.” Carl frowned and let his frustration show. Sherry did not think much of his response and headed toward the parking lot. She was not lying as she had a meeting with a client in half an hour. Carl hurriedly followed her. Lisa followed behind them and watched the pair walk together. She smirked and murmured to herself, “What a little brat.” They got into the car together. Meanwhile, inside another car parked out of sight in the corner of the parking lot. The man in the ba

    The next two days were rather hectic with work. Once again, it was Friday. It was the last week of the month. It was a tradition for Sherry to take the employees of her department out for dinner at the end of the month to commemorate their hard work throughout the month. This month was no exception either. She had reserved a place for dinner in advance. Half an hour before the end of the working day, she instructed the employees of the three departments she oversaw to finish up their work and get ready to leave with her. The place she had reserved for dinner was some distance from the Sager Tower, and it was a rather famous barbecue place located by the seaside. She had reserved half of the second floor of the restaurant for the occasion. In what seemed like a queer coincidence, she arrived at the restaurant to see a lot of familiar faces. Most of them were distant relatives of the Sagers, and some of them held positions in the corporation as well, albeit the l

    Caden and Aiden were left entirely speechless. Their entire group was struck speechless. Sherry continued stirring drama. “As for you, Ada, you’re not an employee at Sager Corporation and you’re not a part of our family either. What are you supposed to be? Stop barking at me, would you?” Ada’s complexion went white. "Sherry, you… you..." Sherry cocked an eyebrow. “What? What about me?” Ada did not know what to say so she continued stammering for words like a fool. All she could do was glare at Sherry and was entirely harmless otherwise. Sherry was done squabbling with them. She turned to Aiden and Caden, both of them did not seem to be in a much better mood either, and bid them farewell crossly. “Alright, Master Sagers, we're getting hungry so we’ll be heading in.” With that, she gave her group a look and signaled for them to enter the restaurant with her. They marched into the restaurant with her, all of them wearing bright smiles. The interior of the res

    The second floor was very spacious and offered a good view of the coast. Everyone was already seated and preparing to order. Sherry found a random seat for herself and tried to calm her restless beating heart. There was a great tension threatening to implode within her. Her mind was racing and recalled the image of John and Caprice looking at her downstairs. She noticed how genuinely excited Caprice was to finally see her. She must have hurt Caprice by choosing to ignore her, her heart was weighed with remorse. Her heart throbbed. Even her employees noticed something off with her and expressed concern. “What’s wrong, President Sherry? Is everything okay?” Sherry quickly composed herself and made up an excuse. “I haven’t been feeling very well recently, but it's nothing to worry about. Go on, order something to eat, don’t mind me.” “Alright, we just wanted to make sure that you’re okay. Are you still upset about what Miss Ada and the other two Sagers said about y

    Sherry observed the sullen look on Caprice’s face and greeted her rather rigidly. It had been a while since her sudden disappearance. “Hey, Caprice. It’s Mommy.” Caprice answered stiffly, “I know.” Sherry explained, “I’m sorry about just now, it wasn’t intentional.” Caprice's eyes quivered. "Okay.” She seemed appeased, even if just mildly. Sherry wanted to take Caprice into her arms but was very reluctant because John was holding her. It was uncomfortable enough for her just to be in John’s presence. She could not stomach having to get another inch closer to the man. She frowned and looked at Caprice longingly. She tried to pluck whatever courage she had left in her to approach John to take Caprice when suddenly, John himself released Caprice. He ruffled the child’s head and urged her, “Go on, go to Mommy.” He said this as he looked at Sherry. There was something different about him now. Sherry frowned and averted her gaze as she turned to Caprice. A

    Sherry frowned and looked at him warily, her voice was brittle and icy. “Yes.” Coastrock was essentially her territory. Since John had brought Caprice here and handed her over on a silver platter, she would be foolish to not seize the opportunity. John observed her intently. Sherry peered behind him to ensure that he had no bodyguards accompanying him. Without warning, she lifted Caprice off her feet and prepared to run away. It was now or ever, she was taking Caprice. “Sure,” John said suddenly. Sherry was caught off-guard by this. She did a double take and questioned her hearing for a second, "What did you say?" "I said okay, you can keep Caprice here." John confirmed that she had not misheard. Sherry was not expecting this so she looked at John skeptically. Why would he be so gracious? Even if Madam Stockton had woken up and revealed to him that everything that happened was perpetrated by Julie, this was an unreasonable maneuver. Even if he realized

    Caprice pouted softly. “Okay.” Sherry took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She ignored John entirely and proceeded to sit on the sand again as if nothing had happened. Caprice lay quietly in her arms and looked at her with her large, pearly eyes, then she cast a glance at John who was standing nearby. He was not up to anything at all. He only stood motionlessly and stared at Sherry’s figure from behind. Caprice frowned. She did not know what went wrong between her parents. She asked Sherry directly, "Mommy, did you fight with Daddy?” Sherry seemed affected by this question and answered with a faint smile, “No, we didn't fight.” This only filled Caprice with more questions. "Then why were you so angry at Daddy?” Sherry wanted to tell her that things were more complicated than a simple fight. He tried to kill her. She knew better than to blurt out something that would cause her to worry and said, “You wouldn’t understand even if Mommy told you. One day

    She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

    He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

    Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

    They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

    Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

    Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

    "How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

    "I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

    Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
