Odell’s expression softened, but his voice remained cold. “It's okay. You didn’t do it intentionally, Ms. Springsteen. However, I’m not a good match for you. If Madam Springsteen asks about us again, you can just tell her that I’m not interested in women at the moment.”For a few moments, Lily was at a loss for words but then she recovered and said, “Okay, I understand. I’m truly sorry about this incident.”Odell did not say anything else and hung up the phone. He glanced at Isabel, who was still sleeping soundly, and the cold expression on his face eased. …At the Springsteen family’s home. Lily stared at the phone screen that had gone dark and frowned unhappily. That man truly did not know how to treat a woman with tenderness.Madam Springsteen had been sitting by Lily’s side throughout the call. Seeing that Lily had put away her phone, she asked, “Lily, how was it? What did Young Master Carter say? Did he believe you?”“He most probably did, but the tone of his voice wa

The expression on Lily’s face froze. However, it was only for a moment before she quickly turned to follow him.She felt that she understood his personality pretty well due to the time she had spent interacting with him on the joint project. He just had a standoffish personality and did not like to talk much. He was also the head of the Carter Corporation and the wealthiest person in Westchester City. He was young and handsome too. It was normal for such a person to have some attitude. Lily followed him to the seating area.Odell sat down on a sofa. Lily stood still without moving from her spot. Once the single-seat sofas on both sides of Odell had been filled, she smiled and said, “Young Master Carter, would you mind if I sat beside you?”Odell looked around, then replied, “Please feel free to do so, Ms. Springsteen.”Lily smiled and sat beside him at a distance of ten centimeters away. When she sat down, many people’s gazes focused on them, including the president of

Everyone around the dance floor had their eyes glued to the scene before them.Some people could not help but discuss what they were seeing. “Young Master Carter and Ms. Springsteen look so good together. Are they already a couple?”“I didn’t hear anything about it, but isn’t Young Master Carter married with children?”“He does have children, but he already divorced his wife long ago.”“But I never heard any news of him and Ms. Springsteen being together.”“When have you seen Young Master Carter dancing with a woman at these events? There must be something going on between them even if they’re not officially together.”“...”The background music obscured some of their chatter, so they could not be heard unless one was listening closely. Odell was not interested in anyone’s chatter so he did not listen attentively. He simply wanted to end the dance as soon as possible. Lily kept the corners of her mouth curved up the whole time, as she smiled at him sweetly.For the last mom

Lily winked and said with a smile, “But what if I don’t want them to clear up the misunderstanding?”Odell’s gaze darkened.Lily said hastily, “I was just joking. Why are you so serious?”Odell’s expression was still grim as he said, “I don’t like this kind of joke.”The moment he finished speaking, he walked to where his car was parked. Lily walked beside him. “Okay. I won’t make these kinds of jokes in the future.”Odell did not give her a reply. Instead, he walked to the car and got in. “Young Master Carter, do you miss your ex-wife?” Lily suddenly asked. Odell’s gaze went dark and his whole face turned gloomy. “No,” he replied. Lily looked flustered, but after a few seconds, she regained her composure. With a smile, she asked, “Do you have any plans for a second marriage?”“No.” Odell’s tone was still cold, but it was not as severe as it had been earlier. Lily did not know whether to feel relieved or be depressed. She said in a resigned tone of voice, “Alright, I

Was she dead?Odell’s fingers scrolled the phone screen until he returned to his chat interface with her. He pressed the voice recording button and said in a deep voice, “Sylvia, this is my last time informing you. If you don’t reply to me with a message by tomorrow, you’re no longer Liam and Izzy’s mother. Even if you were about to die in the future, don’t even think of meeting them even one more time again!”With the release of his finger, the message was sent. His dark, deep-set eyes stared at the screen. …A day later. It was late at night when Odell put down the last document that he had gone through and took his phone. The screen only still had the message he sent her last night. There was still no reply from her. Odell closed his eyes and forcefully suppressed his emotions which had almost become uncontrollable.After a moment, he abruptly stood up and walked outside. Half an hour later, the black MPV stopped outside Lush Heaven. Cliff and Jacob, who were w

Bang!After the phone fell to the floor, he kicked the table in front of him as well, and caused it to flip. The wine glasses shattered all over the ground. Odell remained sitting in the same spot. The anger roiling in his eyes was even scarier than the mess on the floor. Cliff stepped back out of fear. He pressed his lips together, not daring to make a sound. The man shouted, “Bring more alcohol here!”“Okay!” Cliff replied and ran out hastily. The dim private room was soon filled with the smell of alcohol. The man had become so utterly drunk that he did not smash any more phones or flip any tables. Instead, he was playing with a wood-carved tortoise. He continuously rubbed it in his hands as if he wanted to crush the tortoise to pieces. Ding. The untimely ringing of a phone rang out in the air again. Odell raised his gaze and looked over. Cliff was startled and quickly said, “It’s my phone, Young Master Carter. I’ll go out to answer the call right now.”Then,

Odell pressed his lips together. Then, he said, “I’m sorry.”Lily laughed and said, “If you really want to apologize, then treat me to a meal. I’m a little hungry from sitting here for so long.”At that moment, Cliff brought the glass of warm water that Odell had requested for.Odell accepted the glass and took a few sips. After that, he instructed Cliff, “Go and book a restaurant. Ms. Springsteen and I will head over there immediately.”Cliff’s expression changed. He could not resist sneaking a glance at Lily. Then, he said, “Okay, Young Master Carter.”Cliff went to carry out his orders.Odell got up from the sofa. His gaze shifted toward the phone that was still on the ground. The screen had already shattered. His gaze darkened.However, at the same time, Lily picked up the phone and passed it to Odell. She smiled and asked, “Is this your phone, Young Master Carter?”“Mm. Thank you.” Odell took the phone from her. Lily followed him out. She asked again, “Did the phone

They were behaving as if he had betrayed them.Odell was speechless. “Who told you that I was dating another woman?”Isabel turned to look at Liam as the little boy took out his phone.Odell walked to their bedside and took the phone. He saw the webpage of a local economics newspaper’s gossip section on the screen.This section would often post some gossip news about celebrities in Westchester City.Currently, the headlines were about him and Lily.He immediately saw a picture of when he and Lily had walked out of Lush Heaven and another where they were enjoying breakfast together.The paparazzi had been very good at capturing the pictures. Even though they had not had any physical contact, they looked intimate in every picture and appeared to be like a couple who were in a relationship.The captions for the pictures reinforced this idea even further.For example: “We’ve heard from Lush Heaven that Miss Springsteen spent the whole night in the private room with Master Carter.

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
