“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

    Before Isabel could respond, Isabella asked with a sly smirk, "That BJD sure looks nice. From who did your brother borrow it? Do you happen to know?” As soon as she spat these words out, everyone who was gawking at the car made a face, and the envy in their eyes soon faded. The ones who were closer friends with Isabel opted for silence while some of the others did not attempt to conceal the mocking look in their eyes. ‘If you could not afford it, then so be it. Why borrow something so expensive to prove a point? How embarrassing.’ Isabel grimaced. She figured that someone must have overheard her dialogue with Amanda and Carla yesterday after Flint left. Isabella must be intentionally bringing this up when she knew the others were listening so that she could humiliate her. Isabel barely acknowledged Isabella. She took her luggage and continued heading towards the car. Flint had stepped out of the car as well and was approaching her. As soon as he revealed himself,

    Isabel made a face, and her enthusiasm immediately drooped. Southboro. That was where she had her first adult relationship, which ended rather disastrously. Her second partner Roland, who ended up dumping her, was now in Southboro as well. The sheer mention of the city jogged sour memories for her. She was silent. Amanda noticed how she had suddenly turned quiet as well. After a momentary pause, she said in a low voice, "The jewelry exhibition is scheduled for half a month later. It’s organized by one of the largest jewelry manufacturers in Southboro. They seemed very interested in having you attend and offered pretty good compensation for your time. Why don’t you think about it?” This jewelry exhibition was the first endorsement offer she had received since what had happened with Clarice. Then again, the Southboro was the base camp of the Houstons and the Rockwells, so what was the likelihood that this organization hadn’t heard about her involvement with Claric

    A certain fan was very sharp-witted and left behind a comment: “If I’m not mistaken, hasn’t the shooting for “Legend of the Goddess” wrapped around a month ago? You couldn’t have been resting at home for more than a month, have you?” Isabel tensed up. The other fans had gone quiet as well. They were all staring at their screens waiting for her to respond to this. The only saving grace was that they were having a digital conversation instead of face-to-face dialogue, so this gave her some time to consider her response. She typed out her response with some resemblance of guilt. “Of course not. I just happened to have time to text these past few days.” The same fan continued interrogating her, “How long are you going to be on break for?” Isabel told the fan, “Till next week. I’ll have to get back to it next week.” “Alright then, hope to see you again next week.” The other fans chimed in. “Yeah, we haven't seen you on the big screen for a while and were wondering i

    Amanda was delighted. “Great, I’ll call them right now.” After a moment, she sent another text to Isabel. “What made you decide to go anyway?” Isabel’s answer was convincing. “It’s the only offer we’ve got recently. If I turn it down, even my fans are going to start complaining.” Amanda replied, “Heh, alright then.” Isabel smiled wryly and set aside her phone. Her fans were a part of it, but there was another reason—she wanted to witness Roland getting booted out of Rockwell Corporation with her own eyes! It would be ideal if she could be there to see it the very moment it happened. She wanted to see him scrambling out of Rockwell Corporation in a state of disgrace, and she would be the first one to run up to him and laugh in his face! This was the precise reason she chose to go to Southboro! … Southboro was right along the coastline, which meant that the city was known for its wonderful weather and scenery. During her half-year stay in Coastrock five year

    His entourage did not make any unnecessary comments and followed after him. … Isabel led Carla across the road outside the hotel in one quick sprint. They finally stopped when they arrived at the spot on the beach where people crowded around. She took a deep breath and checked behind them. Carla was out of breath from running by this point. “I’ve been keeping an eye on them. They’re not following us.” "Yeah." Isabel smiled, still not over the high of getting to stomp on Roland’s foot just now. How exhilarating! His foot must be throbbing in pain. Such a shame she could not find the space to give him a good punch as well. She would have gladly punched him until he was completely unrecognizable! "I wasn’t expecting to see him here. What a coincidence," Carla caught her breath at last and commented. Isabel did a double-take. It was certainly a strange coincidence. Perhaps the forces above had decided to make things right for her at last. This was a chan

    She was confident Roland could not have recognized her since she had concealed her appearance. Unfortunately, Carla was right next to her, and she was instantly recognizable. Roland must have recognized Carla at first sight. Even a fool could figure out who the identity of the masked stranger Carla was with. He was only pretending to not recognize her! Isabel felt so furious that she could explode into a ball of fire right then and there. Without warning, she punched the elevator button to take them back to the ground floor. Carla was confused by this. “What’s wrong? Why are we going down again?" Isabel gnashed her teeth back and forth angrily. She was going to confront Roland and punch his face! The elevator quickly brought them to the first floor. Before the elevator door fully opened, she sprang outside. She ran to the parking lot outside the hotel just in time to spot Roland getting into a car. One of his assistants was just entering the passenger seat.

    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
