Aiden then turned to the entrance, which led the others in the same direction as well.

However, the breeze from the woods brought no one to the entrance except for silence and refreshment.

Ron and Caden looked at Aiden.

Aiden frowned. He spoke into the phone, which was still connected, “Where are you? Why aren’t you coming out?”

Then, a series of footsteps approached.

Aiden looked at the entrance. The one who came in was the person in charge of the engagement ceremony that doubled as Lisa’s assistant.

The assistant ran to Lisa, panting, and said, “Lisa, M-Master Stockton is here. He said he’s here to congratulate Young Master Carl and Ms. Fowler.”

Lisa was shocked. “Master Stockton? Which Master Stockton?”

Ron and the others looked at the assistant curiously.

Sherry was the only one frowning. Her fists were tightly clenched as she laid them idly by her sides.

Carl frowned. He wanted to stop his mother but before he could, the assistant said, “Master Stockton, the ri

    Lisa was stunned and was left speechless for a while. Ron, Aiden and Caden were shocked too. They knew the man before them as Sherry’s ex-husband, but they did not expect him to be such a high-profile person! John Stockton, the richest man in Glenchester! Sherry’s ex-husband was the richest man in Glenchester?! The three of them did not know what to feel. Should they be happy because they had exposed Sherry and her ex-husband, or should they be worried because they had exposed Sherry’s ex-husband as the richest man in Glenchester? After all, be it his background, his looks, or his capabilities, John was a lot better than Carl. Ron, Aiden, and Caden could not believe their eyes. The disbelief put a complicated reaction on their faces, so complicated that they looked nothing like their calm selves. The other guests felt more or less the same way when they recognized John and Caprice as the man and girl on the big screen earlier. John simply smiled at them. Caprice was i

    John took a small box out of his pocket and strode to the stage. Lisa, Ron, and the others followed behind him. Sherry was next to the stage with Caprice in her arms. Carl came down from the stage and stood by her side. When John came closer, Carl instinctively stood in front of Sherry, protecting her from the man. John narrowed his eyes. Being cautious, Carl said in a rather deep voice, “Master Stockton, Sherry is my fiance now. Please respect her.” John said with a smile. “Relax, Young Master Carl. I’m just giving her a present to congratulate her.” He then lifted his hand holding the little box. Carl frowned. “What is inside?” “I’m sorry. It’s for her, so I can’t tell you what’s inside,” John said. Carl stared at him brazenly. John’s gaze turned cold as well. Lisa, Ron, and the others pursed their lips helplessly at the scene. They dared not make a noise and did not know what to say. The atmosphere grew awkward by the second. It was until an adorable voice

    Not only was he not mad, but he even pushed the box closer to Sherry with the most elegant smile. He then opened the box. Almost instinctively, Sherry took a step backward with Caprice. Then, she saw a piece of paper in the box. It was folded multiple times and stuffed into the ring slot. Sherry spotted the words on the edge: marriage certificate. Her expression changed, and she immediately snatched the box away. John said, “That’s a copy.” In other words, he had withheld the original copy and could give her as many copies as she could snatch or throw away. Sherry stared at him. John smiled. “The ceremony is still going on, right? Are you going to complete it with Young Master Carl?” Sherry choked on her emotions. Disgust rushed into her mind while her eyes were bloodshot. The man was being a jerk! How could he threaten her with a copy of the marriage certificate? Carl asked, “Sis, what did he give you?” Sherry glared at John and said with gritted teeth. “A piec

    Ada could no longer stay quiet. She said, “Carl, even if her ex-husband is Master Stockton, she used to be married! She’s out of your league!” Carl’s gaze turned cold. John turned to Ada with a vicious grin. “Who might this be?” Maybe Carl’s frosty gaze scared her, or maybe because she was afraid of John’s vicious smile, Ada immediately averted their gazes. Anne threw a warning glare at her before she said to John, “Master Stockon, she’s my brother’s daughter. My brother and his wife rarely have the time to educate her. Please forgive her impoliteness.” John smiled. “Mr. Wright, your niece really needs someone to teach her where her place is. Please educate her properly.” Any one of the Sagers could call out Sherry’s past marriage, but not Ada. Why would an outsider have the right to lecture Sherry? Ron responded nervously, “Yes, I will. Thank you for the advice. I will educate her about manners properly when we get home.” Ada reacted in grievance, but John’s aura was

    Carl glared at John. “Let her go!” John curled his lips. “Young Master Carl, if you have the capabilities to shut your family up, it wouldn’t have ended like this.” Carl flushed with gritted teeth. The others were silenced as well. Only Ron and Anne showed a hint of mockery and disdain in their expressions. John was practically calling Carl useless for not being capable enough to convince Madam Sager and the others. Lisa sighed. The entire hall plunged into silence. No one dared to speak another word. John then looked at Lisa. “Mrs. Sager, please excuse Sherry and I.” Lisa looked at Sherry. Sherry then said, “I’m sorry, Lisa. Let’s talk later.” Lisa nodded and said in a rather hoarse voice, “Okay.” Without further ado, Sherry carried Caprice and left the hall with John following behind her. They swiftly disappeared beyond the crowd’s sight. Carl was left petrified and aggrieved on the spot, watching as John took Sherry away from him. Right when the two of th

    She could not hold her anger back anymore. Caprice’s eyes flickered. “Did Daddy bully you again?” Sherry did not want her relationship with John affecting the girl, so she said, “No. I just don’t like him.” Caprice was baffled. John, who was listening by the side, simply curled his lips. His car was just a little further away from the woods. When they finally came out from the woods, Jason came down from the car and opened the door for them. Sherry carried Caprice into the car and simply sat down at the side without moving in further, looking arrogant. John smiled. He went to the other side of the car and got in. Soon, the car drove out of the estate and headed to the city center. It was quiet inside the car. Sherry was still disgusted by the man’s presence. She either looked outside the window or looked at Caprice in her arms. She did not even spare a glance at the man, let alone talk to him. John simply leaned back lazily and stared at her with a bewitching gaze.

    She was probably mad at him for ruining her engagement with Carl. John’s eyes looked disheartened but only for a moment. He curled his lips, and even his golden-framed glasses could not hide the delight in his eyes. Sherry might be mad at him, but she could no longer be with Carl. He headed to the door, leaned against the wall, and waited silently. Inside the house, after Sherry shut the door, Caprice pouted. “Mommy, Daddy hasn’t come in.” Sherry said, “He doesn’t want to come in.” Caprice was small, but she was not an idiot. She protruded her lips and said, “You didn’t let him in.” Sherry pursed her lips, trying to come up with an excuse to fool the little girl. The girl hugged her mother’s neck and buried her face in it, nuzzling as she said, “Mommy, Daddy isn’t doing this on purpose. Please let him in, please.” The girl’s soft cheeks tickled Sherry’s neck. Her adorable voice softened her heart and eased her anger. She sighed helplessly and said, “Fine. I’ll open

    Sherry forgot to tell Carl that Julie had used John to imprison her. He must still remember it and believed that John would actually harm her. A quick thought later, she replied, “Don’t worry. He won’t do anything to me now. I’ll explain it to you and Lisa when I come over later.” “Take a video of yourself. I want to see how you are doing.” It seemed like Carl would not relent if she did not take a video of herself. Sherry lifted her phone and tapped on the record button, recording her and Caprice together. Then, she pointed the camera at John, who was sitting further away. John was looking at her when she pointed the camera at him. He smiled elegantly like a gentleman for the camera. Sherry pursed her lips. She released the record button and sent the clip to Carl. Carl replied almost instantly, “Great. I’m at my mother’s place. I’ll be waiting for you.” Sherry replied to him with an ‘okay’ before she went on to check other unread texts. Most of the texts were from her

    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
