Sherry shot a sideway glance at him. “What are you looking at? I’m just doing this because Caprice is hungry.”

She said as she brought bowls of soup to the dining table.

John chuckled heartily.

Meanwhile, Caprice had already begun eating without them. She held a pair of spoon and fork like trusty weapons and her mouth was bulging with food.

Sherry made a look as she sat next to Caprice. She put a bowl of noodles in front of her and reminded her. "Caprice, eat slowly. Here, have some noodles.”

Caprice did as she was told. She made sure to chew her food thoroughly before she moved on to the bowl of noodles.

After ensuring that Caprice had slowed down her pace, Sherry began eating as well.

The food was delicious. John could easily become a professional chef.

It was no surprise that Caprice snuck a piece of shrimp just now as she simply could not wait.

Even Sherry ate more than she would otherwise usually eat.

“How’s the food?” John suddenly asked.

I hope Carl can get control of the company soon and kicks his uncle and cousins out sooner rather than later.

    It was a dreamless night. Sherry opened the door and the first thing she saw to start the morning was John. She was already dressed up with Caprice. The child wanted to go to the same place where she had a waffle with John the last morning. As soon as Sherry mentioned it to John, he remembered the place and proceeded to take them there. The waiter had only just served the waffle on the table when Caprice immediately began tearing at it excitedly. She held up a piece in front of Sherry and urged her to eat. "Mommy, this pancake tastes delicious!” Sherry opened her mouth and took a bite. It was certainly very tasty. After she swallowed the piece of waffle, she turned to Caprice with a radiant smile. "It's delicious, thank you Caprice." “You're welcome, Mommy.” Caprice chirped joyfully, then she began prattling, “Yesterday I left a piece for Mommy to eat too, but when I was on the way to see you with Daddy I think I dropped it somewhere.” She was going to bring the

    As if afraid that they would not believe her, Sherry added, “His name was also signed on the contract. I’ve already taken it to the government office for further view.” Everyone was in utter disbelief, Ron and Caden were especially flabbergasted. After a while, someone chuckled heartily and remarked, "I didn't think that Young Master Sager would be the one to pull it off, truly amazing! Two projects in one go!” Sherry glanced at Ron and Aiden while acknowledging Carl’s efforts. “Truly amazing, I agree.” She looked around and wondered where Carl was. She had come into today’s meeting fully intending to let Carl take the spotlight and show what he was capable of. However, he was nowhere to be seen and would not even answer her calls. The meeting resumed when someone at the table mentioned, “Alright, let’s focus on these two major projects going forward.” “Certainly, this is a big deal. We’re going to have to schedule more meetings later on and work out the finer details

    Sherry paused for a moment before flaring up again. “You, your brother, and your father are completely useless. The only thing you guys are good at is suckering up to those shareholders.” Aiden roared. "Sherry, you b*tch!" He raised his hand and it looked like he was going to strike Sherry. Sherry did not cower in fear. Instead, she raised her voice. "Aiden, if you even place a finger on me, I can assure you that I’ll have you kicked out of the corporation by the end of the day.” The shareholders may be very prideful and think too highly of themselves to acknowledge Sherry, but one way or another, business was a very practical matter. At the end of the day, Sherry was the one who brought in the profit. They would have to bow to her whether they like it or not. It went without saying that she had the full backing of Lisa, so she never had to worry about that. Furthermore, she tended to mingle around the corporation instead of keeping to herself. She regularly invited t

    When she rolled over, the thugs already had her surrounded. They wore menacing looks as they bore down at her. Her ankles were searing with pain and her body was drenched in sweat in an instant. She looked at them with fear in her eyes and asked, "Did Aiden send you here?" The leader of the pack stared at her and declared, "It doesn't matter who sent us here. We came here today to teach you a lesson so that you learn to watch your mouth in the future.” He turned to his men and roared, "Hold her down and give her a good slap! Each one of you, give her ten good slaps and only stop after she learns to keep her mouth shut!” He took a step back and let the men go to work. Two of them came forward to hold Sherry down. Sherry saw an opening and jabbed the tip of her heels at one of them, then she tried to crawl away on her wounded leg while crying out for help at the top of her voice, "Help! Help!" There was no chance she could outrun them, especially not on a wounded leg

    Sherry delivered a swift blow across his face. The thunderous clap echoed across the corridor and could still be heard after seconds had passed. The group of thugs was all equally dumbfounded. They were not expecting Sherry to slap the leader as well. Both Jason and Nelson remained silent. John was the only one smiling satisfactorily. It was only when he observed the way Sherry continued to limp that a scowl formed on his face again. The leader of the thugs who had just been slapped by Sherry was glaring at her viciously. Sherry did not back down as she cocked an eyebrow and confronted the thug head-on. There was a rabid glow in her eyes that showed that she was not afraid of him. “What are you looking at? Don’t test me or I’ll tear your eyebrows out of your socket!” This seemed to intimidate the leader at last as he impishly averted his gaze from Sherry. Sherry interrogated him, "Who sent you here? Was it Aiden? That b*stard!” The leader kept his lips sealed

    John frowned. He helped Sherry wipe off a bead of sweat trickling down her forehead and tried to comfort her. "Don't be scared, they’re gone now and they’re never going to come back.” Sherry was about to nod reactively but quickly caught herself. She frowned and turned to John with an air of indignation. “When did I say I was scared? I just said that my hands are numb after slapping him.” John smiled. "Yeah, I know." He gently caressed her still-swollen face. “Come on, let’s head up there first.” Sherry took several steps before a sudden thought came to her. She suddenly cried out exasperatedly, “Why did we even let them go? I should’ve called the police!" They had revealed that it was Aiden who employed them. If she had the police arrest them, they would have concrete evidence and could press charges against Aiden! If she had done so, she would have been able to exact her revenge on Aiden and also chase him out of Sager Corporation for Lina and Carl. The more she

    Sherry bent over to carry Caprice into her arms. Caprice was more perceptive than she would appear and immediately noticed Sherry’s swollen cheeks as soon as she bent over. She raised an eyebrow and promptly pointed it out. "Mommy, why is your face swollen?" Sherry quickly came up with a story. "Mommy accidentally tripped while rushing back home.” Caprice seemed worried. “Did it hurt?” Sherry felt a warm fuzzy feeling rising in her chest and assured Caprice with a genuine smile. "It only hurt a little when I fell, but it doesn't hurt anymore.” Caprice gently grazed it with her fingers. Sherry caressed Caprice as well and carried her into her arms. Aunt Wanda had already prepared dinner for them. John was the one who bought the grocery today though it was Aunt Wanda who cooked them. She seemed to worry that Sherry would not eat the food knowing that it was John who bought them and made a point of informing Sherry, "Miss Sherry, Caprice and I picked out these vege

    Nelson trailed closely after them. After they got out of the elevator, they headed straight for the car. Nelson got in the driver's seat and drove them to a nearby police station. John helped Sherry out of the car and walked her into the station. After lodging the injury report, Sherry was taken to the hospital. The side of her face that she took the slap from was still slightly red and swollen. One of her thighs was swollen as well, but the bones were not broken. The doctor gave her some pain-relieving drugs and something to help reduce the swelling. In time, the swelling on her face went away, and the swelling in her legs was mostly reduced as well. Although it still hurt a little to walk, she no longer needed John to support her anymore. She managed to walk out of the hospital by herself, then Nelson drove them back to her place. Aunt Wanda had already got home with Caprice and was waiting for them at the door. Upon seeing their return, Caprice trott

    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
