With Sylvia’s company, Isabel had a good night’s sleep.

Since Isabel had a commercial shoot later in the day, she only had breakfast with her mother before she parted ways with her and left with Carla and the bodyguards to the next destination.

As soon as the car hit the road, Carla moved closer to Isabel with a mischievous grin. “Isabel, your mother looks so young and so beautiful! I bet you got your looks from her.”

Isabel smiled.

If her mother was not beautiful enough, she would not be that beautiful either.

Carla continued, “But I somehow find your mother familiar, it’s like I’ve seen her before.”

Isabel’s eyes fluttered.

Other than being Isabel’s assistant, Carla had many hobbies, and enjoying paintings was one of them. She had seen many famous painters and read many art magazines.

Since Sylvia was a famous painter, she was a regular in art magazines, so Carla must have seen her on the cover or whatnot.

A quick thought later, Isabel said, “Maybe I look like my mo

    Noticing Isabel’s silence, Amanda asked, “Isabel, are you okay?” Isabel exhaled and said, “Amanda, I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me.” She was not a weak and fragile girl anymore. “I’m glad you’re holding up,” Amanda said with relief. She added, “Isabel, the brands and clients that we worked with before are still with us, and the movies and dramas that we’ve gotten are still progressing as planned. That person just messed up our recent plans, so why don’t you take some time off? I’ll think of a way.” Isabel pondered and said, “Alright. Amanda, take it easy. If we lose the recent ones, just let it be.” She suddenly wanted to have a good rest. She wanted to go back home, eat the food that Aunt Tonya cooked, watch her mother paint, and play with Liam and Caprice’s baby. Amanda noticed Isabel’s sudden tonal shift. She sighed and said, “Alright. I’ll do whatever I can. You take care.” “Alright.” The call ended. Isabel leaned back and said to Johnny, “Turn around

    Decker stared at her. “Isabel, I’m just here to see you, nothing else.” Isabel was not in the mood to talk to him, so she ignored him. Decker noticed the frosty reaction. He sighed and said, “I know you just broke up with Roland and seem to have lost all your commercial work.” With both love life and career in a slump, she should be devastated. Just when she thought Isabel would look devastated or break down in tears, Isabel stared at the elevator door coldly and did not respond to his words. She did not look sad or devastated at all, which surprised Decker. He refused to believe Isabel did not feel anything. With Roland gone and her commercials lost, no one was there for her. The confidence of a woman with no background would surely be dented no matter how strong she was. How could she feel nothing? His eyes fluttered. He sighed and added, “Isabel, I know you’re feeling terrible. There are the two of us here. I won’t laugh at you and you don’t need to hide your emoti

    Decker pulled Isabel closer to him with a grim, scheming smile. "Isabel, Roland has gone and dumped you. He’s not going to help you anymore. Besides, even if he wants to help you, there’s nothing he can do for you. I’m the only one who can help you now. If you want to save your acting career, you should be wise enough to know to not get only my nerves,” he said with gnashing teeth. His gaze was dark and ominous. If Isabel did not give in to him, he was going to do everything in his power to ruin her without repair. Isabel grimaced tightly and promptly proceeded to spit right in his face. “Ptoo!” Her spit splattered directly on his face. Decker winced instinctively when he felt the projectile slap across his face, and his expression darkened like never before. Before he could open his eyes again, Isabel kicked against his knee with the shin of her knees. Argh! Decker yelped in pain and let go of her. Isabel took the opportunity to shove him away from her, then

    Sylvia led Odell by his hand as she happily strolled into the living room. Caprice followed them closely. Liam was there as well, holding a child no more than four months old. It was his and Caprice’s son. Flint followed behind him with a feeding bottle in hand. Isabel was not expecting everyone to be at home. She found herself overcome with a warm and wholesome feeling and smiled brightly at the sight of them. Sylvia went up to her and gently took her hand into hers. “Don’t you have work today? Why did you suddenly come home without notice?” Isabel followed them to the couch in the living room. She told them, "I pushed back my schedule for a few days. I decided I need some rest.” Sylvia remarked with a supportive smile, “I see, it’s a wonderful coincidence that your brother and Caprice are going to stay at home for the next few days as well. Flinty has several days off too. It’s a good chance for all of you to spend some time together. Isabel smiled and seemed

    “Sure.” After Isabel hung up, she threw the blanket off her and promptly went to take a quick shower. She walked out of her room after she got changed into a clean set of clothes. In the living room, Caprice was taking piano lessons from Liam. Melodic sounds of the piano reverberated across the house. Sylvia and Aunt Tonya were chatting over a pot of tea. Flint was entertaining himself with the baby in the cradle. When Isabel emerged, everyone turned to look at her. Sylvia was the first to ask, "Isabel, why are you dressed up? Are you going somewhere?” This was the first time in days that they had seen Isabel even bothering to get dressed up. Isabel told her, "I have to go to the set at ‘The Wonder’.” Sylvia nodded with understanding, then she asked, "Do you have to leave right now?” “Yeah, we start shooting in an hour, so I have to head over there right now," she explained as she prepared to head outside. Sylvia signaled at Flint. Flint took the hin

    “Isabel? It’s you?” Isabella cried out in shock. Isabel was just as taken aback. This is the set for “The Wonder”, so why was Isabella, of all people, here? The only logical explanation was that she had been invited by the show producers. Before everything that went down, the producers would know better than to invite Isabella out of respect for Isabel. Circumstances had changed now since most of the industry insiders now knew about Clarice’s involvement. There was a chance that the producers intentionally invited Isabella to spice things up since they knew it would draw in more viewers. Isabel’s expression darkened. She was in no mood to fuss with Isabella and promptly went into the building. Isabella was flabbergasted to see her nemesis stepping out of the limited edition car. When she saw how Isabel immediately walked away, she scoffed. She knew that Isabel was trying to avoid her, which was no surprise considering she recently got dumped, then there was the entire

    “Yep, born from the same womb.” Isabel proceeded to introduce Flint to Carla and Amanda, “This is my agent, Amanda, and this is my assistant, Carla.” Flint greeted them amicably, “Nice to meet you, Amanda and Carla.” “Nice… nice to meet you.” Carla was immediately starstruck. Amanda greeted Flint with a polite smile, “Nice to meet you.” She could not help herself from gawking at him. Seeing that it was about time to commence their shoot for the day, Isabel promptly turned to Flint. “Why don’t you go home first?” “Alright, I’ll pick you up tomorrow at noon.” “Sure.” Flint made sure to bid farewell to Amanda and Carla before heading into his ostentatious car. Vroom!The engine roared and the sports car spun around the corner, vanishing out of sight in no time. Amanda and Carla were still standing motionlessly and staring in the direction Flint drove off in. Isabel had to reel them back to the present. “Amanda? Carla?" The two were quickly brought back

    Amanda sighed in frustration. "That's a pity."She thought that if she could get Flint into the entertainment industry, it would not be difficult at all for her to help him burst into mainstream popularity. After all, from what she had seen of Flint, he had an extremely rare combination of the perfect looks and physique to go with it. He was the definition of male eye candy. They arrived on the set by this point of their conversation. The director, film crew, and the other guests on the show had arrived as well. Amanda dropped the subject and went to greet the director. Isabel went to greet the other guest stars on the show as well. Carla tailed after her silently. Meanwhile, Isabella's assistant had arrived at the set as well, and she entered from the same corridor that Isabel and the others entered from. She glanced at Isabel, then quickly walked past the other guest stars and stopped right behind Isabella. Isabella asked her curiously, “What did they ta

    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
