Roland smiled warmly. “Sure.”

He carried her and strode toward their bed.

In Westchester, after the call with Jerome, Isabella went to the lobby on the first floor of Westchester Hotel.

She went to the lounge area of the lobby.

There were not many people in the lounge at this hour.

She had arrived at the hotel at roughly ten that night, and it was already one in the morning by this point. She had been waiting for Clarice for three whole hours, yet there was no sign of her at all.

Her butt was already sore from sitting and waiting for so long. She began to feel like Clarice was intentionally keeping her waiting, but she knew better than to text Clarice to ask for her whereabouts. Her only choice was to wait with constant agitation.

Finally, when it was around half past one, Clarice stepped through the entrance of the hotel at last.

Isabella hurriedly approached her while putting on her best smile. She greeted Clarice in a friendly voice as if she was not bot

    Clarice jittered between several expressions before finally settling back into a haughty scowl. She grunted stiffly. Isabella asked, “Who is her boyfriend?” This earned her a glare from Clarice. “Who are you to ask me questions?” Isabella stammered, “Sorry, I was just curious who her boyfriend could be.” Clarice groaned and asked, "How long has Isabel been with him?” “I think it’s only been a month or two. My friend told me that she started seeing both of them together when they started filming ‘Legend of the Goddess’, and he would visit her quite regularly.” A month or two? Clarice continued looking at the video Isabella showed her. Roland had barged into the scene when Decker and Isabel were talking. Since Decker was facing away from the camera, there was no way to get a good look at his expression, but the video did offer a good view of Isabel’s expression when she noticed Roland. She did not seem guilty at all when she saw him, but on the contrary, she looke

    To have a place in Roland’s heart was all Clarice ever wanted. … The next morning, in Glanchester, Isabel woke up from the sweltering heat. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in Roland's arms. He woke up around the same time as her and looked at her sleepily. There was a slight red shade underneath his eyes. Isabel squinted and nudged him away without warning. He kept a firm grip around her waist, so she could not break free from him despite having shoved him. Not only did she fail to push him away, but she also ended up provoking a negative reaction out of Roland, evidenced by the immediate frown that formed on his face, coupled with a hurt look. “Are you trying to push me away?" He asked. She blinked in confusion and clarified, “I just wanted a little bit of space because it’s really hot.” The heat was not the only reason. It was partly because she immediately recognized the look of desire in his eyes which could not be any more obvious. They

    “Yeah.” Clarice thought about how much they had been going at it the last two days. With her face pressed close against his chest, she spoke in a contented and soft voice, “When did you wake up?” Decker answered softly, "I just woke up a while ago." Clarice looked up at him. His eyes were gentle and filled with love. After they stared at each other for several seconds, he lowered himself and planted a slow kiss on her lips. Her lips curled up in a smile. With his lips still pressed close to hers, he spoke, “There’re a lot of nice places to see in Westchester. Let me take you sightseeing and shopping today.” He was the same Decker she had known for the last five years, the same gentle and caring man who seemed to have endless patience for her. She was in love. Suddenly, a scattered thought intruded on her. The fact that he had been in Westchester for so long and that he had come here to endorse Isabella… Her eyes darkened for a slight instant, she asked worrie

    As for Decker, he attained everything he had today by getting engaged to Clarice to get the support of the Houstons. With that, he went on to resort to countless schemes to take everything Roland had to his name. Clarice must have sensed Decker’s agitation and comforted him tenderly, “Don’t worry, Decker, you have me and my father. It doesn’t matter how resourceful Roland is. There’s not a chance he can return to Southboro and reclaim Rockwell Corporation for himself.” Decker smiled fairly and cupped her cheeks as he spoke affectionately, “Clarice, thank you for sticking by my side after all these years. I feel safer with you.” Clarice was completely enchanted. “I’m so lucky to be with you.” As Decker inched in closer and kissed her, the image of Isabel surfaced in his mind against his will. The longer they kissed, the more their desire was aroused. Soon, the two lost themselves in passion. Decker traced his hand along Clarice’s body and accidentally muttered out loud

    “What’s going on then?” Amanda could not make sense of it. Isabel asked warily, “Something wrong?" “Several contracts got called off out of nowhere. Even the brand endorsements I've managed to land for you got pulled last minute. Some of the roles on other shows I manage to land for you got recast as well.” Isabel frowned. "Did they give you an explanation?” “They only told me they found a better fit for the role.” Amanda asked again, “Are you sure you haven’t upset anyone lately?” "No." Decker was the only one who came to mind, but she doubted he had enough degree of influence in the entertainment industry to terminate all of her ongoing contracts. Amanda stated briskly, “Never mind, focus on the shooting. I’ll dig up more information.” “Sure.” Isabel hung up but was still feeling restless. Who was targeting her this time? She racked her brains and thought long and hard but could not figure it out. Just as she was considering enlisting someone to he

    Carla did not know how to respond. After a brief hesitation, she asked cautiously, “You look like you’re in a bad mood. Did he say something that upset you?” Isabel’s expression softened a little, and she assured Clara, “It's fine. I'm going to get some rest, and you should catch up on some rest too.” Carla knew her better than to probe Isabel and promptly let her be. Isabel returned to her room after that. Her phone rang the moment she stepped into the room. It was Roland calling her. She eagerly answered the phone, “Hey, why the sudden call? Did anything happen?” "I sent you several texts just now, but you haven’t replied.” After a pause, he asked, "Where did you go just now?" Isabel told him with a sigh, "I had to see someone." “The person who has been targeting you for some reason?” "How did you know about that?” she asked in a startled voice. “It was Clarice’s assistant. She sent him here to deliver a message.” Roland did not sound surprised. “So,

    In Glanchester, Isabel had just come out of the shower and thrown herself on the bed. She thought about calling Amanda to tell her to not worry, but Amanda was the one who called her instead. Before Isabel could get a word out, Amanda announced the good news in a jubilant voice, “Isabel, everything is fine now! The companies got back to me and says that they intend to proceed with our initial deal. The directors who told me that they wanted to recast you changed their minds and got back to me as well. Also, guess what? The famous director, Manson Heathrow, says he plans to cast you in a major role in his upcoming film!” Isabel was delighted to hear this. “Already?” Amanda was confused by this reaction of hers. “What do you mean ‘already’?” Isabel was still reeling in shock. “Oh, nothing. Good to know that everything has been taken care of.” “Alright, enough talk for now. I’ll talk to Director Manson for you and get back to you once I have more information from him.” “

    Clarice’s assistant informed her fearfully, “Miss, I had to call them several times just now until they finally picked up. They mentioned that Isabel is one of the most famous actresses currently and is not involved in any controversial scandals. All this added to the fact that she is currently working with them makes it hard for them to do anything to her. She’s untouchable.” “Don’t they have enough actors signed to them? What’s the difference one common actress going to make?!” "That's what I was told. I don’t know any more specific details beyond this.” "idiot!" Clarice cursed mightily and hung up. There must be more to this! Her family was royalty in Southboro, and even Solar Entertainment had given their word initially. Some other party must have interjected to result in this sudden turn of events. Who could this outside party be? She thought with her brows furrowed. After a while, her eyes blazed as she had a suspect in her mind. Roland! He was Isabe

    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
