Liam saw this and also climbed onto the bed to go to Isabel's other side.

Isabel immediately hugged him and said in a choked voice, "Liam, I want Mommy."

Liam stroked her little head and hugged her back, saying, "Mommy will come back."

"But Mommy left because Baddie made her angry. She didn't even take her phone."

"She'll come back when her anger goes away."

"Really?"

"She'll definitely come back for us."

"You're right. We're her precious babies."

"..."

As they chatted, Isabel's voice grew smaller and smaller.

Liam also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The room quieted down.

Odell looked at their small figures hugging each other, and suddenly felt his vision blur for a few moments.

...

Three days later.

In the area where Cloudy Heart Lake was connected to the river.

A group of people who had just finished a round of salvaging sat around, eating boxed lunches together.

While eating, they could not help but chat.

"Ugh, it's been almost six days. Why can't we find anyone

    Isabel asked suspiciously, "Is Great-grandma sleeping?"Liam said, "It doesn't look like it.""Then why is she closing her eyes and ignoring us?"Liam looked at the door.Isabel also looked over.There, Aunt Tonya and Sebastian walked in, looking at them with a complicated gaze.Isabel could not understand their expressions and cocked her head in confusion.Liam asked directly, "Is Great-grandma sick?"Aunt Tonya lowered her head.Sebastian sighed and said, "Yes.""What kind of sickness is it?"Sebastian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the technical term. I just know that people with this sickness have to sleep for a long time to recover."Isabel tilted her head again. "What kind of sickness makes a person sleep for a long time?"She still could not understand, but Liam suddenly said, "Great-grandma became a vegetable."Isabel's little face changed.She knew about vegetative people. She saw many people on TV who became vegetables and never woke up.She imme

    Thomas replied, "My friends and I were waiting for the fireworks show near the place you fell, so we saved you."Sylvia showed an expression of gratitude. "Thank you.""You're welcome."His voice was faint, and his cool face did not look emotional.Sylvia knew his temper. Although she was very grateful inside, she did not thank him again.Suddenly, his brown eyes stared at her and asked, "Why did you jump into the lake?"Jump into the lake?Sylvia smiled coldly. "Do I look like I’d do something like that?"He asked in confusion, "Then how did you fall into the water?"Her gaze turned cold. "I was pushed down by Tara.""Tara? Are you talking about Odell's girlfriend?""Yeah.""I remember that he also divorced you because of her a few years ago.""That's right."Sylvia could not help but recall the many things that happened, such as Tara's repeated schemes, and how Odell always defended her.However, that was not important. What was important was that Sylvia was not dead.

    A month later.In the Carter residence in Westchester City.It was very quiet inside and outside the mansion, so quiet that the air itself seemed to grow heavy.That was because there was still no news of Sylvia.Isabel kicked up a fuss for many days and seemed to have lost her strength recently. She was listless every day, either following Liam at his heels or going to Madam Carter to speak ill of Odell.Liam was quiet and did not cry or make a fuss. Every day, he coaxed Isabel to eat and sleep, or fiddled with the Rubik's cube Sylvia made for him.That night.Isabel missed her mother so much that she could not sleep after dinner, and she wandered into Madam Carter's room.Violet was used to her coming, so she quietly stood by the side and let Isabel climb onto the bed to lie beside Madam Carter and speak ill of Odell."Great-grandma, Baddie forced me to eat carrots this morning and even used Mommy to threaten me. Hmph. Mommy left because she's angry at him, but he doesn't kn

    Tara's eyes flickered. She gritted her teeth and agreed before saying softly, "I'll go now, Odell. Rest early.""Mm."With that, she clenched her fists and walked out.Odell looked at Isabel.When Tara went out, Isabel's little face suddenly eased up. She plopped back on the bed and lay beside Madam Carter, hugging her arm as if she wanted to sleep there.Odell glanced at Violet. "Call me when she falls asleep later."Violet replied, "Yes, sir."He turned and went out.Isabel saw him leave and instantly muttered to Madam Carter, "Great-grandma, I chased away that ugly woman. You can go to sleep now. I'll accompany you..."Violet watched this scene and could not help but smile.'Isabel is the cutest little girl I've ever met. Although she has a huge temper, she only directs it at Odell and Tara. She's never lost her temper with us and is sometimes so well-behaved that it's heartbreaking. It's clear that Sylvia brought her up well.'As for Tara...If not for my good friend who

    On the phone, Melanie sensed Tara's hesitation and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything, Tara? Did you encounter some kind of difficulty?"Tara said with annoyance, "It's those two runts that Sylvia left behind. They won't let me get close to them at all. They won't even let me approach that old hag.""Those damned children... They must have been taught that way by their bitch of a mother," Melanie cussed. Then, she said, "There's no rush. Sylvia isn't around anymore, so you can coax them patiently. When you and Odell get married, you can find a way to get rid of them then."'Yes, since that bitch is gone, as long as I get married to Odell, I have plenty of time to torment them later."Tara looked much better. "I know."...In the Carters' residence, Odell had not been standing outside for long when Violet came up to him and said, "Master Carter, the Young Miss is asleep."Odell stepped into the room and reached out to pick up Isabel from Madam Carter's side. He carried the li

    After nearly an hour, Isabel and Liam came back by car.Aunt Tonya was worried about them and had been taking them to and fro school with the bodyguard during this period of time.After the car stopped, she got out of the car with them and led them to the gate.Just as they arrived at the living room, Tara suddenly walked out of the kitchen with an apron, holding a plate of freshly cooked appetizer in her hand.When she saw Isabel and Liam return, she instantly smiled warmly and gently. "Isabel and Liam, go and sit down. Dinner will be ready soon."However, Isabel and Liam looked at her coldly.Aunt Tonya's expression turned frigid, and she shouted, "Who told you to come? Get out!"Tara's face stiffened, but she forced a kind smile and said to Aunt Tonya, "I informed Odell before I came. I just want to cook dinner for the children. Don't misunderstand."Aunt Tonya knew what kind of person Tara was. However, she could not swear in front of the children, so she simply looked at T

    Tara could not help but be shocked.Nonetheless, Odell's expression was indifferent without much emotion. It was clear he did not intend on kicking up a fuss with Aunt Tonya because of her.Tara swallowed her anger and choked out, Okay."She walked to her car with her head bowed while her slim figure looked aggrieved and hurt.Odell watched her get into the car and stepped into the front door. If it were in the past, he would have warned Aunt Tonya to be more polite to Tara.However, now... he was not in the mood at all....Another month passed in the blink of an eye.During this period, although Isabel and Liam disliked Tara, she still came over every now and then. However, she usually came when they were away at school.Every time she came, she brought a gift and then went to Madam Carter's room for a while before leaving.It was the same today, but she came over a little later than usual. That was because she learned that Odell was nearby and would probably be back by noo

    When Tara saw him leave, she instantly lost interest in staying.She soon made an excuse to Sebastian, saying that she was leaving. Then, she instructed Violet to take care of Madam Carter and walked out.Her car was parked right outside. When she got back to the car, she immediately took wet paper towels and wiped her hands vigorously.However, she felt that it was not enough. She swiftly returned to Lake Victoria Villa, went to the bathroom, and took a shower. Just the thought that her hands washed the old hag's hands and legs and touched her skin made her feel sick.She took the hand sanitizer and doused her hands several times before putting on a new dress and walking out of the bedroom.She reclined on the sofa and ordered the maid, "Hurry up and massage my hands."The maid quickly replied, "Yes, Ms. Avery."Then, she hurriedly took the tools and supplies for the massage and squatted beside Tara. The maid's movements were very careful.Tara felt the disgust in her heart di

    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
