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.

    Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The coordinator in charge of the jewelry exhibition approached Isabel. Amanda had just landed in Southboro from Westchester and promptly joined Isabel along with Carla. Isabel spoke with the coordinator for some time and acquainted herself with the procedure of the exhibition and the parts in which she would be involved. After that, she went to get her makeup done and put on the jewelry they provided for her. With everything ready, she attended the exhibition. It was only after she arrived at the exhibition that she realized the sheer scale of the exhibition. It was far larger than she had expected. The venue was enormous and clad in brilliant lights, and all sorts of expensive pieces of jewelry were put on display everywhere. The attendees were not limited to the Southboro locals; the wealthy from all over the world had also come to attend the premium event. She was equally shocked when she found out that she was the only ce

    After wrapping up the phone call, the coordinator anxiously approached the man in a suit and spoke in a careful voice, “Mr. Roland, Miss Houston’s secretary just called me and asked why we chose Isabel to represent our brand in this exhibition. She’s threatening to restrict us from the Southboro market.” Even after hearing this, Roland’s expression barely changed. After a moment, he said with complete disinterest, "Tell her that she’s free to leave if she’s not enjoying the show.” The coordinator was just as irked by Clarice's attitude, but he was in a delicate position. “Well, she’s still Miss Houston at the end of the day. Is there any way we can handle this better?” "No, tell her exactly what I said.” The coordinator said in a giddy voice, “Sure, I'll get back to her secretary right now." Roland had built up the brand from the ground up and set up branches all over the world. Without exaggeration, their brand was a world-class brand. The Houstons may be very infl

    The coordinator said generously, “Give them to me. I’ll pack them up for you. You don’t have to pay for them.” Isabel smiled appreciatively. "Thank you for the offer, but it’s alright. I don’t mind buying them.” There was no clause stating that they would be giving her free jewelry in the contract they had signed. Besides, the pay was already more than generous. The coordinator would not have it. “You’re very kind, Miss Isabel, but please let us do this for you. You’ve done a terrific job for us, and it’s only right we give you some gifts as a nice gesture.” Isabel stood her ground. "You’re just an employee like everyone else here. What if your boss finds out that you’re giving away freebies? It would not be a good look for you.” The coordinator made a look and promptly responded, “Thank you for your concern, but it was our boss who insisted on inviting you here. You might not know this, but our boss is a big fan of yours and loves your work. He will be more than happy t

    Isabel cringed. Had he been stalking behind her the entire time? What was the meaning of this? He was toying with her! She felt a swell of fury rise up in her chest. “Then, why didn’t you say anything?!” Roland looked like he wanted to say something, but he decided against it. He wanted to explain, but he realized that he did not know how to explain it in concise terms and gave up on the idea. Besides, they had already broken up, so there was no point explaining anyway. Isabel grunted and folded her arms across her body. She asked sharply, "What are you doing here?" Roland said nonchalantly, “I came here with a client to see the exhibition." He came to see the exhibition with a client? Isabel eyed him suspiciously. Then again, most of the attendees were rich folks, so it did make sense that his clients would want to attend a jewelry exhibition. She dropped the subject and continued interrogating him, "Why did you hide when you saw me?" He remained si

    Isabel remarked casually, “I’m heading to the beach for a quick walk. You don’t have to come with me.” She only wanted some alone time to clear her head. Besides, she did not want to interrupt Carla who was immersed in watching her favorite show. After she threw on her usual disguise of a mask and a hat, she made her way to the beach. Most of the people at the beach at this hour were young people, many of them in pairs. Isabel felt a little self-conscious when she saw all the lovebirds around her. She strolled along the beach for a while until she reached a distant part where there was nobody around. Then, she proceeded to sit on the sand. While she was losing herself in the gentle sea breeze, a black sack was suddenly thrown over her head, catching her completely off guard. She felt her arms seized from behind as well, immobilizing her within seconds. She was frightened by the sudden assault, and her first instinct was to resist. Soon, she felt herself carried in

    Creak. The door opened, inviting a gentle gust of sea breeze into the car. Isabel shivered from the cold and yelped, "I'm not involved with Decker. He kidnapped me.” There was no response. Soon, she felt the gentle touch of two hands placed on her. One of the man’s arms wrapped around the back of her neck and gently tugged her upward. The other arm wrapped around from under her legs. She held her breath. Just like that, she was swiftly and gently carried out of the car. She could hear the sound of the sea breeze and traffic passing through the highway. Soon, she could even hear the voices of beach-goers talking and laughing. She asked nervously, "Who are you? Where are you taking me?" Still, there was no response. Over time, she could sense there were more people in the vicinity. At one point, she heard a random beach-goer pointing out, "Huh? Why does that girl over there have a sack thrown over her head?” “She’s not being kidnapped, is she?” “It

    The next morning, Isabel went to pull the curtains open after she woke up and was immediately blinded by a scorching ray of sunlight. She showered and changed into something casual before heading out of the room. She took Carla with her to someplace nearby for breakfast. Then, she went to Rockwell Corporation Tower with Carla. Carla asked inexplicably, “What are we doing here?” Isabel put on her sunglasses and said stoically, “We’re here to see someone." Carla stopped asking questions. The car parked by the roadside, and Isabel promptly got out of the car. Carla followed behind her. The duo walked into the building through the main entrance. A security guard stopped them. “Credentials?” Isabel took off his sunglasses and smiled cordially. "I'm Isabel Ross. I’m here to see President Rockwell.” The security led her to the reception. Isabel repeated the same thing to the reception. The clerk asked politely, "Which President Rockwell are you looking for?"

    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
