Never in their wildest imagination had they expected the rumored Mr. Bright to be Roland this entire time! He was the mastermind behind the scenes since the very beginning! They were entirely appalled, thrown off, and befuddled by this monstrous revelation. Roland was only in his late twenties. He was several years younger than Decker. How was it that someone as young as him possessed such wealth and talent in business?! After an extended silence, one of the older shareholders, who was known for having a remarkably cordial relationship with Roland, asked in a careful tone, “President Roland, were you Mr. Bright this entire time?” Roland confirmed their suspicions, “Yes.” After a pause, he directed his calm gaze to Master Rockwell and Decker, both of whom were hardly in control of their wits at this point. “Master Rockwell, President Decker, are we going to finalize our contract as we agreed?” He had come here today not only to reveal his true identity but also t
Decker scowled the moment he heard Isabel sniggering at him. He looked like he was going to shoot lasers out of his eyes. Isabel leaned in closer toward Roland for protection, then she cocked an eyebrow at Decker and continued taunting him. That was when Clarice spoke up, her voice filled with temper, "Isabel, this is a business place, not a stage for third-rate actors like you. You have no place here!” Isabel was in too much of a good mood to be provoked by her cheap taunt. She flashed a smile at Clarice and returned the favor. “Who are you to tell me to leave? Why should I listen to you?” Clarice turned red with anger. "You..." Isabel proceeded to laugh tauntingly in her face. Clarice became so furious that she wanted to hurl herself at Isabel but could not because Roland was right next to her. She turned to Roland for help. "Roland, are you just going to let her behave like that?” Roland cast a glance at Isabel before remarking nonchalantly, “Why, what’s wron
Clarice said vehemently, “Grandpa, that girl back there is Isabel Ross. She’s just a common actress.” It was not hard to recognize her disdain for Isabel in the tone of her voice. Master Rockwell seemed taken by surprise. The Roland he knew from his memory had always been a quiet and reserved boy, sometimes to the point of worrying him. Even his father, who was nothing special at all, was at least more likable than him, so how was it that someone of his quirky personality managed to score such a beautiful actor? This Isabel Ross was certainly a beaut comparable even to Clarice, a lady from a noble house. It was not surprising at all to find that Roland had fallen for her. The others were just as astounded by this. One of the executives commented mockingly, "She's an actress? Considering the nature of the entertainment industry, I’m sure she has some history behind her. Who knows? Maybe she’s gotten involved with more than a handful of men in her time. President Roland su
Isabel felt her emotions stirring inside her. After a brief pause, she remarked, "I see. I was just asking out of curiosity. I didn’t mean anything else by it.” Roland seemed relieved to hear this and stated, “Be sure to let me know if there’s anything else you’re curious about. I’ll tell you everything.” Isabel smiled upon hearing this. “Got it.” She was not going to torture herself with needless suspicions. Roland smiled warmly when he noticed her smile. He promptly segued to his primary concern, “Speaking of which, aren’t you going back to Westchester this weekend?" “Yeah, why?" "Can I go with you?” "Sure." Upon giving her reply, Isabel suddenly realized something and was a strange look at him. There was a clear sparkle in his eyes. She suddenly recalled his reason for coming to Southboro in the first place. He had returned to Southboro to reclaim Rockwell Corporation, thus fulfilling the promise he had made to Isabel’s father. Now that he had essential
“Oh, okay.”...In the next few days, Roland mostly left early and returned late.He most likely had many things to deal with after just taking over Rockwell Corporation.Isabel also received news from Amanda saying that the female lead role that was snatched away before was available again, and filming was expected to start officially next month.Besides this drama, there were also several variety shows and businesses that approached her.Amanda spoke on the phone happily for a long time.Isabel thought back to the day that Roland and Decker signed the contract, and the words that he used to threaten Clarice, and she pursed her lips in a smile.Thus, while Roland was busy these days, Isabel also took on two commercial advertisements and spent her spare time chatting with Martha, who had just returned from Westchester City.It was Friday afternoon in the blink of an eye.With Martha’s help, she got her and Roland’s luggage ready. Just then, Roland’s car arrived at the door.
Isabel was stunned.After Roland took everything out, he said to the guard, “Please carry these things in as well.”“Right.” The guard immediately called for the others.Only then did Roland look at Isabel, who was speechless.He smiled boyishly. “I came in a hurry, so I only prepared this much. I don’t know if your parents will like them.”Isabel replied with a smile, “They’ll like them.”They were all expensive items, and they were all things that her parents usually liked. She could tell that he chose them with care.After speaking, she went forward to take one of his hands. She looked at the gifts being carried in by the guards and said, “Come on, let’s go inside.”Roland pursed his lips. “Okay.”Isabel sent a message to Sylvia before boarding the plane, saying that she would be coming back with Roland tonight.As soon as Roland and she entered the living room, they saw Odell and Sylvia, as well as Liam and Caprice holding their child. Flint, who had an infuriating smile
Odell looked at Isabel.He remembered that Isabel voted against Roland when he applied for the position of director-general of Carter Corporation.At that time, if it were not for him overseeing the matter, Roland, a genius in business, would have been lost because of the ignorant Isabel.However, one thing was for certain: Although she and Roland knew each other at that time, they should be no different from strangers.No, to be precise, she thought of Roland no different than a stranger.As for how they got together, it was most likely that they slowly got together as time passed.Just then, Sylvia asked, “How is your mother?”Roland replied, “My mother is in good health now, thanks to Isabel saving her in time. Thank you for your concern.”When he said this, he seemed to deliberately glance at Isabel.Isabel pursed her lips.She did not expect Liam to remember something that happened so long ago.She almost forgot that she had accidentally saved his mother.Roland answer
Odell said, “Then get along well with Isabel.”Roland smiled. At that instant, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, “Thank you, Mr. Carter.”Flint, who was leaning on the sofa, could not help but laugh. “Dad already approved of you. Why are you still calling him Mr. Carter?”Roland was stunned. Then, he looked at Odell and said seriously, “Thank you, Uncle.”Odell pursed his lips and hummed.“Rest early.” With that, he got up and left the living room.Liam also stood up and said in a faint voice, “You can just call me Liam in the future.”Roland said, “Okay, Liam.”Liam also went upstairs.Roland looked at Flint, who had not left yet.Flint jumped off the sofa and said with a smile, “Just call me Flint, Roland.”Roland pursed his lips. “Okay.”“Your room is ready for you. I’ll take you there.”“Thanks.”Roland got up and walked up the stairs with Flint.Meanwhile, in Caprice and Liam’s bedroom.The baby fell asleep on the bed after he had his fill.Isabel sat on the
