Sunflowers.

They were all sunflowers.

Whether it was on the flat ground or on the distant hillside, it was densely packed with golden sunflowers.

The sunlight shone from one direction, and all the flowers faced that side, standing vivid and gorgeous. It was like being in a world full of sunflowers which felt utterly magical.

Sylvia's eyes widened in astonishment.

After a long time, she finally came back to her senses and muttered, "Why are there so many sunflowers here?"

It did not seem to be the season for sunflowers to mature and bloom.

"Do you like it?" The man's low and pleasant voice rang out.

Sylvia subconsciously answered, "Yes."

Only after saying that did she realize something was off. When she glanced around, there were only the two of them besides the sunflowers. There was no one else in sight.

How could there only be two tourists in a forest park with such a magnificent sea of sunflowers?

'Could it be...?'

Her eyes flickered, and she immediately turned around to

    The group of bodyguards all stared coldly at Thomas.Upon hearing Sylvia's words, Jacob's expression eased, and he said, "Madam, we're here on Master Carter's orders to request Second Master Carter to come with us."'Is this how you make a request with others? It's clear that you're here to arrest him.'She asked directly, "What does he want with Thomas?""We're not sure. We're just following orders." Jacob looked at Thomas and said politely, "Second Master Carter, the show is over. Master Carter has sorted out the mess at Carter Corporation. The people under your instruction have all been dealt with by Master Carter. Please come with us."Thomas's gaze flickered, and he said after a moment, "I don't understand what you're talking about."Jacob maintained his polite tone. "That's fine. You'll understand if you come with us."Thomas looked around. In addition to Jacob and Ben, there were dozens of bodyguards.Then, he restrained the cold light in his eyes, looked at Sylvia, and

    Odell narrowed his eyes. "If you come here, I'll make them stop immediately."Sylvia was somewhat unconvinced.However, if they did not stop, these bright sunflowers would really all be destroyed, so she asked, "You'll keep your word, won't you?"Odell curled his lips. "Of course."She walked toward him with small steps.Just when she was a step away from him, a long arm suddenly reached out and dragged her directly to him. She yelped in surprise and immediately tried to push him away.Nevertheless, he pulled her to his body, wrapping his arm around her waist like an iron clamp. Sylvia's back was immediately pressed against his chest."Let me go!" she shouted as she struggled.Odell used his free hand to clutch her face.She hissed in pain and instantly lost the strength to struggle.He let out a low, sinister laugh. "These sunflowers are very pretty."Sylvia shivered and said in a trembling voice, "Tell them to stop, Odell! You promised that you would tell them to stop if I

    The air instantly fell silent. The atmosphere around her also became oppressive, and the temperature seemed to plummet by dozens of degrees.Sylvia's body was tense until the man's low voice sounded in her ear. "Say that again."She took a deep breath and said, "I don't love you anymore. The person I like now is T—"Before she could finish, her body was spun around. Then, he pinched her face again.Sylvia stared at his gloomy and intimidating face.Meanwhile, his fingertips rubbed her cheeks. "Look me in the eye and tell me who the person you like is."Her gaze trembled. She thought of the nightmare she had had before waking up that morning. The Odell in her dream had almost the exact same look as the Odell in front of him right now.However, the sun here was shining brightly, and even the wind in the air was warm.Sylvia's mind was also very clear. She remembered the things that he had done to her before, and she also remembered that they had divorced a long time ago. Except f

    The difference in the treatment Thomas got then and the treatment Odell was getting now was like night and dayOdell's expression turned cold. He cupped her small face and directly sealed her lips."Mm!" Sylvia was forced to make a sound. She tried to struggle, but he was so strong that she could not even lift her hands. She could only bite his lips fiercely.However, the more she bit him, the more force he used.After some time passed to the point that her mouth went numb, he finally let her go. His deep eyes were covered with scarlet, staring at her like a beast.Sylvia was instinctively afraid, but at that moment, the fire in her heart exceeded her fear of him. She raised her hand and pushed him away, her voice choking as she berated him, "You're a b*stard, Odell! Let me go! I want to leave. I don't want to be with you—"Before she could finish shouting, her feet were lifted off the ground, and she was picked up by her waist. She screamed in fear and shoved him.Odell let her

    Sylvia's hand inexplicably shook.She looked down again.The next two lines did not contain business terminology and were written in plain terms. "According to insiders, the Carter Corporation crisis was a part of Master Carter’s plan. He allowed public opinion to flare up so that he could smoke out the shareholders who were kneeling in the picture. This is both shocking and amazing. I believe that in the future, the management of Carter Corporation will only go further under the hands of the young and promising Master Carter!"Sylvia's heart trembled after reading that.'The Carter Corporation crisis has always been under control by Odell? So, his drunken fiasco at Lush Heaven before was just an act? He had no problem with the crisis because he wasn't affected at all!'She thought of how she had brought the children to see him because she had been worried that something would happen to him and had even persuaded him out of kind intentions. She suddenly felt angry and could not he

    Odell knitted his brows. He looked at her sharply and asked, "What are you trying to say?"Sylvia took a breath and said, "Let Thomas go. Although you don't have a good brotherly bond, he was quite worried about you when you were in trouble. He also said that even if Carter Corporation collapses, he will use his savings to help you as much as possible and won't let you live in poverty."He rubbed her face and asked, "Did he really say that to you?"She met his gaze and said, "Yes, he did."Her expression was frank, much franker than it was when she had said she forgave him earlier.Odell smiled. "Then I have to thank him."Sylvia hurriedly said, "No, you just have to let him go."When he saw how anxious she was to save Thomas, the smile on his face instantly cooled.Sylvia did not expect his expression to change at the drop of a hat. Her gaze shrank, and her mouth pursed up."What if I don't?" he asked.She swallowed her anger and resisted the urge to punch him, saying, "He's

    Odell stroked her head and said gently, "I was delayed by some stuff.""Fine. I'll forgive you this time."He smiled and asked, "Have you and your brother been well behaved at home these days?""Of course. Liam and I are the best."The father and daughter chatted idly. The air was many times more relaxed than when they were in the car.Sylvia's expression also gradually relaxed, but she still avoided him from afar.Then, Isabel's stomach suddenly rumbled. She pouted and whined to Sylvia, "Mommy, I'm hungry."Sylvia asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you.""I want to eat noodles. Mommy, please cook more!""Sure."Sylvia did not want to see Odell anyway, so she turned around and went into the kitchen.Not long after she entered, Aunt Tonya also came in. Aunt Tonya walked up to her and helped her prepare the ingredients, asking in a low voice, "Syl, why did you come back with him? Where's Thomas?"Sylvia frowned and said, "He left because something came up."Aunt

    Isabel picked up Sylvia's hand and blew on her finger while chanting, "Pain, pain, go away."Sylvia could not help but smile. "Thank you, Isabel. It doesn't hurt anymore."Then, she touched Isabel and Liam's heads affectionately and said, "You two go and play while I help Aunt Tonya. Dinner will be ready soon.""Okay," Isabel answered obediently.Sylvia walked the same way back to the kitchen.Isabel looked at her figure walking away and muttered in confusion, "Strange, you can go directly to the kitchen from here. Why does Mommy have to go around to the door to access the kitchen?"When she said that, she raised her finger and pointed to a walkway that led directly to the kitchen.Liam pursed his lips and did not say anything.A man's straight figure sat on the sofa at the edge of the walkway. He looked in the direction of the kitchen, and his expression darkened when he heard Isabel's childish voice....Before long, Sylvia and Aunt Tonya walked out with a pot of piping hot

    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
