Back in the restaurant, even if Sherry was an idiot, she could tell it was actually ‘dinner’ instead of lunch. She had no idea what had gotten into Carl’s mind for arranging a candlelight lunch in the middle of the day.

However, she agreed to have a meal with him, so she tended to keep the promise. She reluctantly walked in and sat down.

Carl sat opposite her across the long table.

The waiter served the food and left them alone, leaving only a violinist playing inside. The music was pleasant to the ears.

Just when Sherry wanted to eat, Carl stopped her. He raised his glass of red wine and smiled bewitchingly with his charming eyes curved. “Sis, a toast.”

Sherry grabbed her glass and said, “Carl, congratulations on closing two major deals. Cheers.” She then finished the glass of wine in a single gulp.

Carl pursed his lips helplessly and took a small sip of wine.

Sherry then moved her attention to the steak before her. She was too lazy to cut it with a knife, so she forked

    The girl in the man’s arms pouted as a hint of helplessness gleamed in her eyes. Her father had woken her up, and she was still sleepy. However, since they were coming for her mother, she simply let her father off the hook this time. Sherry ignored the man and looked at Caprice with a gentle gaze. John was aware of the gentle gaze, so he put Caprice down on her own. Caprice waddled her way to her mother. Sherry picked the girl up and carried her into her arms. “Mommy, did you just come back?” the girl asked with pouty lips. Sherry answered softly, “Mommy got held up by something.” “Mm-hmm…” Caprice yawned and then leaned into Sherry’s neck. Sherry carried the girl to the elevator. She walked past John’s side without the slightest pause. For a moment there, John was silenced by her response. He cleared his throat subtly to signal the girl. Caprice, who was leaning against her mother’s shoulder, looked up. Sherry was not aware of the man’s grunts and the girl’s chan

    The door opened, and Sherry walked in with Caprice. John followed them in. Sherry turned around to glare at him. He stopped and stood still in the living room like a monolith and kept his distance from the mother and daughter. Sherry’s grim expression eased up when John decided to act tactfully. She then smiled at Caprice and asked, “Caprice, are you sleepy? Do you want to continue sleeping?” Caprice sneaked a glance at John and then shook her head. “No. I’m not sleepy.” “Do you want to have anything to eat?” The girl shook her head. “Do you want to play games?” The girl continued to shake her head. Sherry sighed helplessly. “Then, what do you want to do?” Caprice leaned into her arms and said adorably, “I don’t want to do anything. I just want to be with Daddy and Mommy.” She stuck her cheek to Sherry’s chest, looking adorable and obedient. Sherry patted the girl’s head. “Okay.” She carried the girl to the couch and sat opposite John with her back turned. The gir

    Caprice said, “I woke up a while ago. I even had a video call with Liam!” The girl was like a blooming flower when she spoke of Liam. Sherry could not help but chuckle at her expression. She asked, “Are you hungry? Why don’t I bring you to a nice place for dinner?” After all, it was almost dinner time. “I’m not hungry,” she said as she took another bite from the cake in her hand. Sherry pursed her lips helplessly. She wanted to bring Caprice out immediately, but the man’s deep voice said, “I’ve ordered dinner for us.” Sherry was surprised. John smiled at her. “Have a seat. Dinner should be arriving soon.” Caprice echoed, “Yeah! There is a lot of candy there, so Mommy can have some first!” The girl pointed at the other end of the table. Sherry then noticed there were a ton of candies and pastries laid out properly on the table. As a workaholic, her kitchen was nothing but a decoration. Her refrigerator did not even have ingredients for cooking, let alone snacks and pas

    Sherry’s expression turned cold. “I’m not hungry.” John was the one who bought dinner, so she did not want to have any of that. Sherry put the fork down and walked over to Caprice. The atmosphere turned awkward instantly. John frowned as he watched Sherry walk over. He, too, put down the fork and spoon. Caprice crawled up the couch with the phone. The girl was still young and watching the phone too closely would harm her eyes. Sherry sat beside her, carried her onto her lap, and said, “Caprice, I’ll watch it with you.” Caprice hummed a reply. Sherry held the phone so that the girl would lean on her comfortably. Two hours passed. Caprice got sleepy and started to doze off in her mother’s arms, so Sherry quickly brought the girl to the room. She then came back out and brought the pink box in. She had found the pink box when she woke up earlier. John must have sent it over while she was having a nap with Caprice. The pink box had all of Caprice’s clothes and necessitie

    Two minutes later, John’s phone rang. It was from Nelson, the bodyguard who stood guard outside Sherry’s apartment. He put the phone near his ear. Nelson said, “Sir, Ms. Fowler’s supper has just arrived, and she should be eating by now.” As he hummed a reply, his tightened expression relaxed. …After a dreamless night, Sherry woke up and started to prepare for the day. Caprice had just woken up. The girl’s response was slower in the morning compared to the rest of the day. Sherry helped her brush her teeth and put on new clothes. It was then the girl thought of her father. “Mommy, where’s Daddy?” she asked with pouty lips. “Daddy will be here soon.” The girl nodded with a pursed mouth. Knocks came from the door. Sherry ordered breakfast half an hour ago. It must be the deliveryman at her doorstep. She put Caprice on the couch and went to get the door. The deliveryman left after handing her the breakfast. Sherry planned to tell Nelson to contact his boss,

    Coastrock City was famous for its many beaches. After breakfast, Sherry brought Caprice to a famous seaside theme park. There were many attractions for children to enjoy. Sherry bought a mermaid dress for the girl and went on rides with her. They went on every ride possible, and the girl enjoyed every single one of them. The smile on her face never faded since she entered the theme park. When she got on the merry-go-round with Sherry, she even laughed and giggled.John had been following the mother and daughter since the beginning, and he was in charge of carrying Caprice’s water bottle and other necessities. He maintained his distance from the two of them and would stay outside whenever they got onto rides. Caprice finally became tired after a long day. She got thirsty and wanted a drink. John automatically went up with Caprice’s water bottle and gave it to her. Caprice held her water bottle with her tiny hands and started drinking from the straw. When she finally quenche

    After a glance at the caller ID, Aiden’s eyes flickered. He answered the phone. “What did you get today?” …The call ended briefly. He then went on his social media and tapped on the pictures and videos he received. Caden noticed the smile on his brother’s face. “Bro, what’s up?” Aiden was not in a hurry to answer. He said to the ladies and guys, “Caden and I have something to discuss. Give us the room.” The guys, who had been playing poker with the brothers earlier, and the ladies left. Caden then moved close to his brother. Aiden showed him the pictures and videos he received. The picture showed Sherry carrying a three-year-old girl in the theme park with a handsome man following them everywhere they went. The videos showed more or less the same thing, but there was an extra scene of the man handing the girl a water bottle. Although Sherry gave the man the cold shoulder, she looked at the girl with a kind and gentle look as if she was a mother looking at her da

    There was a subtle change in John's expression which signified his intrigue in seeing Aiden and Caden, but he continued pressing onward and did not pay much further attention to them. They quickly approached him and cut off his path. John looked annoyed. Aiden announced, “We came to see you.” Caden probed, "You know Sherry, don't you?" Although they both wore pleasant smiles and spoke to him politely, it was not difficult to detect the arrogance in their voice. As far as they were concerned, this handsome man that stood before them was a nobody. Anyone of any significant importance would not associate themselves with Sherry, especially considering that he was her ex-husband. John asked sharply, "Who are you two?” Aiden diffused the tension. "We are Sherry's colleagues. Don't worry, we’re not here to hurt you or anything like that. In fact, I think we can help you." John asked, “And what exactly are you going to help me with?" “We can help you salvage your

    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
