Odell saw a cart full of roses beside Tristan who was confessing to Sylvia.

He raised his sharp brows and just watched coldly.

Beside him, Tara observed the reaction on his face and also studied how things were developing between Tristan and Sylvia.

On the other room, Sylvia and Tristan had no idea that Odell was watching.

Sylvia looked at Tristan with a complicated expression. After the ball that night, she knew that something was wrong with him, but it still surprised her when she heard it from him herself.

While she did not want to hurt him, if she kept it vague or averted the question, it would only deepen the misunderstanding, eventually hurting him deeper.

She looked into his eyes and said, “Tristan, I really am honored that you would fancy me, but I only see you as a friend. We aren't suitable together.”

Tristan was disheartened. Although he did think of this outcome before. He soon curled his lips into a smile and said, “You’re single, I’m single. Why can’t we be

    In all of Westchester City, only Odell could best Tristan at anything. Tara refused to believe that Sylvia had no feelings for Odell. A while later, Tara regained her composure and said to Odell, “Who would have expected her to reject Tristan? Did she really just reject him because of his parents? Tristan is a great man, and based on my understanding of Sylvia, I believe it’s impossible for her not to have any feelings for him.” Odell looked at her. “Are you saying that Sylvia is playing hard to get?” His gaze looked sharper than usual. Tara thought about it and explained nervously, “I’m not saying that. I just think that she has feelings for Tristan, or else why would she have accompanied him to that ball as his partner? She said she doesn’t like you anymore, which means she’s telling Tristan that there is no one else but him. It will make Tristan think that he still has a chance.” Odell’s gaze changed. The strange suffocation that he had in his chest suddenly dispersed. H

    Tristan was absent from the studio for the entire day, and Sylvia felt a lot more comfortable without his presence. It was then time to pick her kids up from kindergarten. She drove while Isabel and Liam chatted incessantly in their baby seats in the rear. Then, her phone rang. It was Aunt Tonya. It was rare for Aunt Tonya to call her at this hour, which sparked her curiosity. She stopped the car by the side of the road and picked up the phone. Aunt Tonya’s voice came through the phone, fueled with anxiety and anger. “Syl! Sonia is here with a couple of men, and she’s throwing out things out!” Sylvia reacted grimly. She said, “Aunt Tonya, take care of yourself first. I’ll be right there.” After hanging up, she floored the pedal and sprinted back. Liam and Isabel sensed that something was not right. “Mommy, what’s wrong?” Liam asked.“Something happened but it’s nothing serious. You guys don’t have to worry,” Sylvia said.Liam saw the nervous look on her face throu

    Sylvia quickly held Aunt Tonya back before she could do anything rash. She then said to Sonia, “Sonia, Grandfather and grandmother left this place to me. If you don’t get out now, I’ll call the police.” Nonetheless, Sonia was not deterred. She said with a grin, “Who told you that those two old fags left this place to you? Did they provide you with an agreement?” Sylvia was silenced. Sonia’s grin widened when she saw the surprised look on Sylvia's face. “My father is the legitimate heir, and from today onwards, I am the owner of this house because he has given it to me.” Sylvia clenched her fists tightly. Her grandparents had repeatedly told her to come back to them if she had a hard time at the Rosses, but neither of them had set up a will before they passed away. They never would have thought that Sylvia’s own biological father would give the place that she grew up in to Sonia. With a gulp, Sylvia said, “Is that why you are here today?” “I’m here to teach you a lesso

    Sonia was frightened by their intimidating presence. The children's gaze that did not seem to belong to toddlers made her nervous. They were Odell and Sylvia's kids. Sylvia was not much of an issue, but they were Odell’s children, the young master and lady of the Carters. Sonia could not afford to offend the Carters. “Mommy, are you alright?” Isabel went up to Sylvia and stared at her with a worried gaze. Sylvia patted her head. “Mommy is okay.” Isabel sighed a breath of relief. She then turned to Sonia and said, “You have three seconds to leave this place, or I will tell them to tie you up and throw you on the street.” She might be a toddler but the intimidation in her cute voice was brazen. Sylvia was stunned for a moment. She somehow saw Odell in the little girl. Sonia wore a bitter look. She was being deterred by a mere three-year-old. More importantly, the three-year-old was Odell’s daughter who she could not afford to offend. She gulped her grievance and glared

    After the call ended, Sonia left in annoyance. Back at Lake Victoria Villa, Tara enjoyed her glass of red wine with a mischievous grin. Sonia was such a gullible person. With the little fiasco she caused, Sylvia would have to move away from the Old District again. The houses in the Old District were rather archaic, but the rent was expensive. Given Sylvia’s current salary, she would never be able to afford one. The houses surrounding the Old District were even more expensive, so she might have to move quite far away. The further she moved, the harder it would be for her to pick her kids up and visit the Carters’. With that, she would naturally draw distance from Odell. … That night, while Sylvia was searching for houses to rent online, Jacob, who helped them tidy up the house, went home and updated Isabel and Liam. Isabel was grumpy after learning what happened. “It must be that bad woman! Brother, let’s call Uncle Ben and Uncle Jacob to go to her house!” Liam car

    The look on Madam Carter's face turned bitter. Of course, she wanted to help Sylvia, but it was inappropriate to let her move in. She sighed and said in a heavy tone, “Isabel, Liam, I know you guys want to be with your Mommy, but your Mommy and Daddy have no longer been together for years. It’s inappropriate for her to move in to stay with you guys and your Daddy.” Isabel pouted, tears welling up in her eyes. Just when she was about to burst into tears, Liam said, “There;s an easy solution.” Isabel’s sulking expression brightened. The tears she prepared seemed to be absorbed back into her eyes. She stared at Liam curiously, and so did Madam Carter. “What is this solution about, Liam?” “Just make Daddy move out,” Liam said matter-of-factly. Madam Carter was silenced, as was Odell outside the entrance. Only Isabel jumped and cheered happily. “Brother is right!” Madam Carter was at a loss for words. It was understandable that Isable disliked her father since she just

    Odell frowned. “Isabel?” Isabel burst into tears after a little hum. “I want Mommy! I don’t want to be separated from her! I want to sleep with her!” Her face was flushed as grievance overwhelmed her. Liam hugged her, but she cried even louder. Odell got up to her and wanted to carry her into his arms. However, the little girl clung to her brother and refused to let Odell touch her. She even said, “I don’t want you, you big baddie. I want Mommy, I want Mommy!” She cried louder and louder as she threw a temper. Odell responded with a grim look. He had brought Isabel back for quite a while now, and this might be the first time he was seeing her throw a tantrum. He intuitively assumed that it was that woman who made his daughter do this. Nevertheless, he suppressed his emotions and picked Isabel up into his arms. The little girl kept punching him and resisted his hug. “Okay, okay, I’ll go talk to her tomorrow. If you keep crying, I won’t go,” Odell said.Isabel went qui

    Sylvia sized him up. He wore a white shirt and long pants coupled with a pair of clean leather shoes. Each piece of his outfit screamed luxury. In addition to that fair skin of his, nothing on him showed signs that he could do laborious work. Sylvia decided to be frank with him. “No thanks, you will only give me more trouble than actually helping.” Tristan’s smile froze. It was then that the moving company’s truck arrived. Sylvia did not want to talk to him anymore. After loading the things onto the truck, Sylvia brought Aunt Tonya to the new house. Tristan got into his own car and followed the truck. Twenty minutes later, Sylvia arrived at her new house with the moving company. The new house was a fully furnished two-story mansion equipped with a spacious courtyard. Just when Sylvia wanted to move her things inside, Tristan came up behind her and said, “This is a lovely house.” After spending that much on rent, she ought to make sure it was nice. Sylvia did not a

    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
