Madam Carter was stunned.

At the same time, behind the railing on the stairs on the second floor, the man who had long been standing in the shadows also froze for a moment.

The room went silent for two seconds before Madam Carter asked, “Syl, may I ask why?”

“I don’t have feelings for him anymore.”

A few years ago while she was pregnant, she had been imprisoned at home and had been forced to give birth alone. On top of that, Odell had even slapped her sixty times and thrown her out of the house.

She could still remember these memories as clearly as if they had happened yesterday.

She had long since made up her mind to never love Odell again. She was determined that she would never put herself in such a situation or be the other half of this marriage again.

She did not want to repeat the same mistake again.

Madam Carter’s excited face instantly fell. She looked at Sylvia in disbelief. “Syl, tell me the truth. Do you truly have no feelings for him anymore?”

“Yes. I do n

    Even after waiting a while, Cliff did not receive any reply, so he consciously turned to leave. “Hold on.” Cliff froze. He turned around and asked, “Yes, sir? Is there anything else?” Odell turned his chair around to Cliff and asked, “I have a friend who is divorced. His ex-wife used to love him a lot. So much so, that she even went to the extent of using dirty means to make the marriage between them happen. Now, this friend of mine wants to marry his ex-wife again, but the ex-wife has said that she no longer loves him. Do you think what she said is true?” Feeling awkward, Cliff pursed his lips and thought, ‘You’re referring to yourself, right?’ However, he dared not expose his boss. After considering his thoughts carefully, he said, “Maybe it’s because the ex-wife was deeply hurt during the divorce that she has no more feelings for him.” The office plunged into silence after he voiced his opinion. Cliff noticed the grim look on his boss’ face. He anxiously explained, “

    Given his temper, wouldn’t he have questioned her over why she had ignored him? Why was he wearing such a warm but strange smile on his face?Regardless, it was better than his usual frosty glare. Sylvia hummed in reply. Odell then went to the back of the car and opened the trunk. Next, Sylvia watched him pull out a bouquet of roses. There were probably 99 stalks of roses there. Then, he carried the roses and handed them to her. Sylvia was stunned for a few seconds before she asked in disbelief, “Are these for me?” Seeing that she was confused and not at all surprised, Odell was a little upset and asked, “Is there any other woman here other than you?” Sylvia let out an awkward chuckle.Odell frowned and said, “Take it.” Sylvia whispered, “Uhmm… No, tha—” Before she could utter the word ‘thanks’, she noticed the dark look on his face. “Take it… now,” he said coldly. Sylvia’s eyes shifted a bit and she nervously reached out to hold the bouquet of roses. Odell

    Sylvia raised her hand slightly and covered her face with the bouquet of roses. However, in the next moment, a strong hand took hold of her wrist and pulled her hand down, revealing her face to the others. She saw Madam Carter and the butler smiling at her. She also saw Isabel and Liam’s adorably curious and confused faces.Smiling awkwardly, Sylvia said, “Grandmother, I came here to see Isabel and Liam.” Madam Carter smirked. “It’s okay, I understand.” Odell then released her wrist. After he greeted Madam Carter, he sat on the couch and casually picked up a book to read. Isabel and Liam came over to Sylvia. Isabel tilted her head and asked, “Mommy, why did you come home with the Baddie? And why are you holding a big bouquet of flowers?” Before Sylvia answered her, Liam said, “The flowers must be from Daddy.” “Why did Baddie give Mommy flowers?” “It’s because he likes Mommy, and he is trying to win her heart.” “I thought he liked the ugly woman?” “He must have mo

    Liam had always been a quiet kid who rarely showed much emotion. However, when he mentioned the possibility of living with his mother, not only his eyes shone but even the corners of his lips curled up in a smile.Sylvia frowned as she looked on in confusion.Hearing what her brother had said, Isabel replied with a pout, “But what if the Baddie picks on Mommy again?” “We will protect Mommy together and we won’t let him pick on Mommy.” “What if he picks on Mommy when we are at school?” Liam thought about it for a moment and said, “Great-grandma and Uncle Maxworth will look after her for us.” Isabel continued to pout, while Sylvia did the same as she gathered her thoughts. It was then that the butler came to inform them that dinner was ready. Sylvia nodded and led the two little rascals to the dining table. The little girl held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go. Even the little boy held on to her other hand softly.Madam Carter said, “Please stay for dinner, Syl.”

    Sylvia would never have thought that the fantasy that she had a few years back would come true before her eyes. However, things had changed. She could no longer feel the happiness of the warmth that she had felt in her fantasy. She gathered her thoughts and went up to the kids. After hugging and kissing them a while, she asked Odell, “Where are we taking them today?” “We’ll be going skiing first, then we’ll go to watch a movie.” Skiing? Sylvia was taken aback. She could not ski because Isabel had been too young back then and she had never taken the little girl to a ski resort before.However, the look on the little girl’s face showed just how much she looked forward to going. Sylvia answered, “Okay.” One by one, she carried the kids into the car. Once the kids were seated, she got into the car.The back seat was spacious, so she intended on sitting in between her kids. However, just as she sat down, Odell came in through the other door to sit at the back.There was

    Sylvia then led Isabel over to her father. When the other infatuated ladies spotted Sylvia and Isabel, they wisely decided to leave the father and son alone. Isabel’s big round eyes widened when she looked at Odell before she asked Liam, “Brother, why don’t you and Baddie here look fat at all?” Liam patted her little head and said, “Sister, you look very cute.” Sylvia almost burst out into laughter. It was obvious that Liam had called his sister cute because he did not want to call her fat. Fortunately, the puffy ski wear did look cute on Isabel. Sylvia suppressed her urge to laugh and said, “Come on, let’s get our ski gear.” “Yeah! Let’s go skiing!” Isabel pulled on Liam’s hands and ran forward. Sylvia moved to go after the kids but when she walked past Odell, he whispered, “You look cute too.” Sylvia was stunned. She turned to him and saw him squinting at her with a pleasant expression on his handsome and charming face.All of a sudden, Sylvia became inexplicably b

    Odell slowed down to a stop and turned around to Sylvia. He raised his hand and gestured to her to try sliding toward him. Sylvia took a deep breath. She tried recalling Odell’s posture and movement before she slowly slid forward. The ski slowly slid on the snow before it accelerated forward. Sylvia was delighted, but it only lasted for a second because she did not know how to stop. She was gaining speed more than intended and she slowly lost control. Shocked, she started screaming at the other skiers who were in her way, “Move!” The other skiers quickly moved out of her trajectory, afraid of being run over. Sylvia’s ski continued to gain speed. Just when she closed her eyes and braced herself for a terrible crash, a figure flashed in front of her and caught her. Thud! She rammed herself into a sturdy chest and was finally forced to a stop. She froze for a moment before she started to gasp for air to calm herself down. Then, when she opened her eyes, she saw a man l

    Sylvia steadily slowed down to a stop. She looked at her legs which managed to stop after multiple tries and giggled as she sighed a breath of relief. Odell patted her head. “Not bad.” Sylvia pouted and said, “Don’t touch my head.” Odell chuckled. “I didn’t even complain about you bumping into me nineteen times.” He then put his hand on her head and rubbed it a few times. Sylvia blushed in silence before she turned around and went to Isabel and Liam. Odell smiled and followed her over. Skiing was an exciting and fun sport. Not only did Isabel enjoy it, but even Sylvia also started to challenge higher difficulty moves once she mastered the basics. She fell a couple of times in the process but overall, it was a fun experience. It was until late in the afternoon, when the two little ones got tired after all the skiing, the family finally left the ski resort. The warm interior of the car felt comfortable. When the family came back in, the two kids started to fall asle

    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
