Sylvia frowned, but before she could wrap her head around the situation, she was shrouded by an elongated shadow from the back. She froze for a split second and then quickly turned around. Thomas was a few steps away from her, wearing a grin and looking at her with a warm expression. At the next moment, he asked, “Have you seen the texts?” The sun was hanging high up in the sky. It was a scorching hot summer day. His eyes were as warm as before but she felt otherwise. She was quivering in fear and sweating nervously. She feigned ignorance and asked, “Thomas, where are Aunt Tonya and the kids?” “They are in another car.” “Where’s that?” “Don’t worry. They’re being taken care of,” he said with a smile. “I can take care of them myself. Tell me where’s the car.” Thomas went closer and stroked her head. His smile remained as he said, “Don’t worry. When we reach the airport, you’ll be able to see them.” Sylvia feigned a silly smile and said, “They aren’t used to traveli

Meanwhile at Carter Tower, in the top floor office, the man had just gone through a pile of documents and wanted to rest his eyes for a bit. It was then his phone rang. It was from Jacob. He put the phone near his ears and heard Jacob’s anxious voice. “Sir, Ms. Avery is looking for you.” There was an obvious disgust in his expression when he heard the name. “I’m not seeing her.” “Ms. Avery said she wanted to talk to you about Second Master Carter. She said he was the one who planned for Spencer Weiss to kidnap her and madam. She also said that Second Master Carter did more than that. He has been pulling the strings from the dark since Melanie arrived in Westchester City and before she pushed Madam Carter down the hill. He has been plotting from the dark.” Odell’s expression turned cold. “What has he been planning?” “She refused to say. She’d only say when she sees you.” “Keep an eye out for her. I’m coming right over.” He bolted up and strode out of the office. …T

She lowered her head in fear and remained on her knees. She changed her words and continued, “Master Carter, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you.” Odell asked, “What did Thomas do?” A quick pause later, he sized her up with a frosty gaze and continued, “If you can provide any useful information, I might consider letting you live.” Tara’s eyes shone hopefully and said, “Master Carter! Second Master Carter isn’t who you think he is! He came to me and said he could help me to win your heart again, so he instigated me to fake being chased by gangsters so that you can save me. He also instructed Spencer Weiss to kidnap me and forced you to choose me instead of Sylvia. He was the mastermind behind these two incidents.” Odell narrowed his eyes. “What else?” “Yes! Yes!” Tara looked up and met his eyes. “Do you remember Melanie? She’s actually my mother, not my aunt. She came to Westchester City when you and Sylvia just remarried. She said there was a mysterious person who had b

Had she blacklisted him again? His brows remained furrowed when he said to the driver, “Turn around. We’ll go home first.” He wanted to bring the woman along so that when he finally exposed Thomas and Tara of their schemes, she would be able to see Thomas’ true self. He wanted to know if she would still follow Thomas after learning what happened. It was then Jacob in the passenger seat received a call. His expression changed before he turned around and said, “Sir, something happened! We can’t reach the two new bodyguards that we sent to the hospital last night. A nurse picked up one of their phones and informed us that they were found knocked out cold outside the hospital an hour ago. They were severely injured and still hadn’t woken up.” Odell frowned. Knocked out an hour ago? The timing was uncanny. He said coldly, “Contact the hospital right away. Tell them Thomas is a dangerous murderer and ask them to apprehend him immediately.” Jacob nodded and contacted the hos

Sylvia pursed her lips and asked in a small voice, “Thomas, we’re arriving at the airport soon. Where’s Aunt Tonya and my kids?” “Soon. You’ll be able to see them after two more junctions.” “Okay…” Sylvia tightened her fists. She hid a knife in her curled fist. The blade was the one she used to cut fruits for her kids whenever they went out, so she always had it in her bag. When she reunited with Aunt Tonya and her kids, she might be able to threaten Thomas to release them with the knife. Thomas had a subtle glance at her tightly clenched fists, and he secretly curled his lips into a faint grin. Soon enough, the car passed two junctions with traffic lights and arrived at a crossroad. Every car wanting to go to the airport from the city had to pass this crossroad. There were barely any cars on the road at this hour. The car stopped by the road in front of the crossroad. Sylvia spotted another silver car ahead of them, and two intimidating men were standing beside it.

Jacob jumped out of the car and attacked Thomas. The defenseless Thomas was ambushed and he received a punch on his face. The ambush on him also freed Sylvia from his restraints. Sylvia was also surprised by Jacob’s attack and before she could react, another strong hand held her. She turned around and saw Odell’s handsome but frosty face. It was as though Odell was afraid that she would try to save Thomas, he held her tightly and he shot a gloomy gaze at her. Sylvia’s eyes got teary and she started to choke on her emotions. Odell frowned. Was she trying to beg him to release Thomas again? He pursed his lips tightly to suppress his anger and said to her, “Thomas isn’t who you think he is. He’s not only involved in the company’s crisis, but he’s also the one who instigated Spencer Weiss to kidnap you. He’s also involved in Grandma’s accident and you being pushed into the lake by Tara.” He was afraid that she refused to believe her, so he continued, “I have proof. Brin

The fear tormented Sylvia badly, but she had no other choice. Thomas used her kids against her. If she refused to go with him, he would tell his men to snap Isabel and Liam’s necks. Sylvia took a deep breath and looked up to Odell with teary eyes. She pleaded, “Odell, please.” Odell pursed his lips. His handsome looks were shrouded by a layer of gloom. His eyes were frosty and if gaze could kill, he would have strangled her. Seconds later, he tightened his lips and said, “I won’t let you go.” Sylvia started to choke on her emotions. “Don’t force my hands.” Odell scoffed. “I am. What can you possibly do about it?” Sylvia shut her eyes and then charged into his arms. A muffled thud was heard at the next moment. The man’s upright and straight body suddenly curved forward, and Sylvia started to stagger backward. Drops of blood dripped and fell on the ground. One of his hands covered his abdomen with a pink knife in it. Sylvia stabbed him with the fruit knife she h

Thomas got into the car after her. However, the car did not go to the airport directly. It made a U-turn and drove into the freeway that led to Glanchester City. Sylvia frowned. It was as though Thomas was able to read Sylvia’s expression. He said with a smile, “We’re leaving from Glanchester City’s airport.” Glanchester City’s airport? They were right in front of Westchester City’s airport and yet he decided to leave from Glanchester City’s airport? “My brother is unpredictable, so I have to be cautious,” he said. Sylvia pursed her lips and ignored him. The car cruised smoothly. The weather was great, the sun was warm, and the wind was breezy, but Sylvia did not have the mood. All she could think of was the blood on the ground and the fact that she stabbed Odell. He must resent her deeply. “Have something to eat.” Suddenly, a meticulously wrapped box was handed to her by a pair of fair hands. Sylvia did not even look at the box. She moved closer to the door

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
