After the call, Sylvia went back to bed and tried to nap with the children.

For some reason, she did not feel even the slightest hint of sleepiness. The only thing that continued to turn over in her mind was the picture she had seen on the Internet of Odell getting drunk.

This was completely contradictory to everything that she knew of him so far. For someone as composed as him to resort to alcohol, the Carter Corporation must truly be facing an unprecedented crisis, the likes of which he could not navigate his way out of.

Sylvia rolled over with an irritated frown.

They were already divorced. Even if she were to put aside everything that happened between them in the past, the single episode where he had chosen to save Tara while being held at gunpoint himself should be enough to fortify Sylvia’s opinion that she had nothing to do with him anymore! She could not care less even if he died!

Despite that, she found herself in a turbulent, irritated state.

    Thomas smiled as he insisted, “Then let me drive you there.” He had made the offer in such a tender, understanding way that Sylvia found that she could not refuse him. In the end, she said, “Okay.” ...... The next morning when Sylvia told the kids that she was going to take them to see their father, Isabel jumped out of the bed and ran to brush her teeth and wash her face without any urging from Sylvia. After breakfast, Sylvia took them to Thomas' car. The car drove out of the district and headed towards the city. … News of Carter Corporation’s recent troubles had been spreading like wildfire across Westchester. At this point, almost everyone had already known about it. Meanwhile, at Lush Heaven. Tara was holding a stack of documents as she frantically paced around the entrance. She had never imagined that something like this would happen to Carter Corporation. Neither had she ever expected that Odell would choose to wallow in his grief and wash it down

    Odell’s voice was obviously much gentler compared to when Tara had just entered, so her nervousness immediately eased. She thought about what had happened previously when she and Sylvia had been kidnapped and how he had chosen her between the two of them. It was a clear indicator that she still held an important place in his heart. Besides, it did not seem like he was going to punish her for what she had done to him in the past. Thus, she figured that he would probably not squabble over the rights to Lake Victoria Villa. She took a deep breath and walked up to him, presenting the documents to him with bold hands. Odell took them and briskly flipped through them. Most of the people who had come to visit him recently had all wanted something from him. Not a single person had come to express concern or to offer any help. He wondered what property Tara wanted to yield to him to help him out. That was when he flipped to the first page and the glaring words “Lake Victori

    Sylvia carried Isabel out of the car. Thomas and Liam got out from the other side. Upon noticing that Thomas wanted to follow them, Sylvia kindly informed him, “Thomas, just wait for us in the car." Thomas answered briskly, "It's kind of boring waiting in the car. I'll go with you." So be it. One way or another, she was not planning to see Odell with the kids. After leaving the parking lot, they arrived at the entrance of Lush Heaven. Sylvia spoke to Sherry last night about their coming. She texted Sherry again when they reached the entrance. Within half a minute, Sherry almost sprinted out of the building. “Isabel, Liam! I miss you kids so much—” Before she could finish her sentence, her sights focused on Thomas. She immediately shifted her behavior and turned into a modest, dignified lady instantly while cautiously asking Sylvia, “Sylvia, who’s the hottie?” Sylvia smiled and introduced, "He's Thomas Carter.” Sherry was startled by this. "Thomas Carter,

    Meanwhile, the two children followed Sherry and arrived at the entrance of the VIP box. Ben and Jacob, who were standing guard, immediately recognized them and cried out with delight, “Young master? Young miss?” Isabel greeted them politely, "Uncle Ben, Uncle Jacob, how are you?" Ben and Jacob smiled at her happily. "Hello, young miss." Jacob promptly pushed the door open and invited them inside. “Master Carter is just inside. Step right in please.” “Okay!” Isabel answered cheerily and strutted in. Liam followed her. Odell was still sleeping when he heard light footsteps tapping against the floor. He snapped his eyes open at once. Immediately afterward, the two small figures entered his line of sight. Something immediately brightened in his deep, dark eyes. He sat up and looked at them, perplexed. "Why are you two here?" Isabel stood in front of him and put her hands on her hips, reprimanding him like an adult would. “Stupid Baddie, we haven’t see

    Almost everyone had been avoiding him these days. On the off chance that someone came to him, they merely wanted to gain something from him. Even Tara, who had once saved him and stood by his side, the girl who he always thought was the embodiment of kindness, only came to him to take away Lake Victoria Villa. It was this woman who had hurt him most who ended up bringing his children to him. Even if she refused to see him because she was with another man. He closed his eyes somberly, then tightened his embrace around Isabel who was still whimsically prattling on and on. ... In the parking lot outside. After seeing Isabel and Liam head into the building, Sylvia and Thomas got back into the car. Time slowly trickled by. Suddenly, several familiar figures stepped into the parking lot. They were led by Jacob the bodyguard at the head of the group. Sylvia frowned warily. Sensing her discomfort, Thomas asked, "What's wrong?" "They're Odell's bodyguards," S

    The VIP box was located on the second floor of Lush Heaven. Sylvia and Thomas scaled the stairs and arrived at the entrance of the box after turning a corner. Both Ben and Jacob were posted by the door. The moment they saw Sylvia and Thomas emerging from the corner, they cried out in shock, “Missus?!” Sylvia turned to Thomas. “Thomas, wait for me here. I'll come right out after I get the kids.” Thomas glanced at Ben and Jacob, and murmured, “Okay." Sylvia then walked to the entrance. Ben and Jacob were staring at him closely. Sylvia did not see the sharp look of vigilance in their eyes. They seemed terrified that she would spring off and run away at any given moment. She asked them, "Is Odell in there?" “Master Carter is in there. He’ll be very happy to see you," Ben remarked with a smile. Then, he pushed open the door for Sylvia. She promptly stepped inside. Her mind was filled with nothing but thoughts of her children. Upon stepping in, she was swarmed b

    Odell was unrelenting. He took another step forward and pinned her body between his body and the door. He inched his lips toward her ears and hissed sharply. “If you want to be with him, don’t even think about taking Isabel and Liam!” Sylvia was aghast. Was he intentionally keeping Isabel and Liam to lull her here?! No, that was not the primary point of concern here. She brought the children to see him as an act of kindness, only to have him use them against her as chess pieces? Where was his humanity?! Sylvia reproached him harshly, “Odell, you b*stard! I should’ve never brought them here to see you!” Odell only scoffed at this. “I thought you already knew that I’m a b*stard long ago?” As he said this, he brought his face closer to hers again, the tips of their nose were almost touching by this point. His lips hovered mere inches away from hers and they would have kissed with the slightest movement. Meanwhile, his hands that were holding onto her waist be

    There was a tremendous pound on the door from someone being flung into it. Sylvia was frightened when she felt the tremors through the door. Odell, who was on the verge of losing his sanity, suddenly stopped his movements. He grabbed Sylvia and dragged her several steps back, then he looked toward the door with ominously red eyes and hissed icily. "What's going on?" Ben, who was standing guard outside, answered him. “Master Carter, the second master brought... a lot of people here. We’re no match for him. You have to go now!” he informed while struggling for breath. It was him who was slammed against the door. A sunken loop appeared in Odell’s eyes, then he peered at Sylvia who was bound in his arms. Sylvia glared back at him. "Odell, let me go unless you want to get beat up!” Odell smiled grimly. She felt an inexplicable shiver run through her body. He suddenly raised his hand and turned on the lights. Brightening rays of light washed over the entir

    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
