He did not want to have anything to do with Lily any longer but he could not avoid her at work. Sylvia took a deep breath and smiled. “I know. Just go ahead and continue eating.” Odell stroked her delicate cheek and asked, “Are you feeling bored at home?” “No. I have the kids with me, so I’m not bored at all.” “Are they giving you a hard time?” “No, they have all been good.” The two of them continued to chat over dinner until they had eaten their fill. “You can continue working now. I’m going home.” Sylvia got up and started to tidy the empty containers from the desk. Before she could put everything away, the man put his arms around her waist and sat her on his lap. Hugging her from the back, he whispered into her ear, “Stay here for a while and we’ll go home together.” Sylvia blushed. Annoyed, she said, “Odell, you still have work to do. Why don’t you finish your work first before you go home?” He could not help but pinch her adorable face. “What are you thinking

Odell remained busy for the next few days. He went out early in the morning and came home late at night. Sylvia would be lying if she said that she did not miss him. Therefore, she decided to visit the office once every two to three days. Sometimes, it would be during lunch, sometimes during dinner. Today, while Flint, Isabel, and Liam were taking their nap, she went to Carter Tower to visit Odell. The security guard and receptionist already knew her, so they welcomed her with a polite smile. Sylvia went to his office but was informed by his secretary that he was having a meeting. She got bored while waiting, so she decided to take a stroll around the building. When she arrived on the first floor, she overheard several employees talking about her. “Why is our lady boss here once every two days?” “Maybe it’s because of Ms. Springsteen. Since our company is working closely with the Springsteens on the new project, Ms. Springsteen comes here often to have meetings with

“Master Carter, what do you think of my suggestion?” Lily asked. Odell scanned through the documents in his hand and hummed in reply. “It’s decent but we might face problems executing it.” Lily looked slightly disheartened. “What kind of problems?” “It’s unrealistic. The details need to be adjusted,” he said as he put the documents on the table. There was an unpleasant look on Lily’s face.Sylvia did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt as if Lily was looking in her direction.Sylvia immediately turned around and flattened herself against the wall. Lily could not know that she was there.With that in mind, she continued to lean towards the door to peek out again.By now, Lily was already standing in front of Odell’s desk and taking back the document. She smiled. “Master Carter, I’ll adjust the details, but please do not forget about the dinner tomorrow night. My partners will be there, and they are looking forward to meeting you.” Odell hummed in reply.

Sylvia was startled and her hands began to tremble. The number was local but not registered in her contact list. This person clearly knew that Odell would be attending the dinner tonight and had even guessed what her thoughts would be. Judging by the way the person had asked the question, it sounded like Thomas. Sylvia gasped. [ Who is this? ] [ Thomas. ] Thud! She tossed the phone to the bed. Her face turned pale, and her body began to shake. After a while, her phone rang again. The screen lit up and showed the message that she had just received. [ Did he not tell you about the dinner tonight? ] Sylvia took a deep breath and picked up the phone again. Her fingers shook as she typed, [ It’s none of your business! ]She blacklisted the number immediately but she could not control the fear in her heart. She paced in the room for a while before she called Odell. The dial tone sounded, but he did not pick up. She frowned. Then, she carried the sleeping Flint and

He kissed her again. After a long kiss, he finally let go of her and pinched one of her cheeks, which was flushed either due to anger or shyness. He narrowed his eyes dangerously. “If you refuse to speak properly, I’ll make sure you can’t speak anymore.” Sylvia was rendered speechless. She glared at him. “Why didn’t you take me along to the dinner?” Odell was surprised. “Did you want to go?” Sylvia tightened her lips. “No.” “Then why are you mad?” “Did you even think about bringing me along?” Or had he assumed that she could not be taken out in the public because she would embarrass him? Odell narrowed his eyes and flicked her forehead. “What is in this little head of yours? Who told you that I didn’t bring you along because I didn’t want to?” Sylvia pouted. He continued, “I didn’t bring you along because I didn’t think you would want to go. I was only attending as a courtesy so there’s no point for me to take you there.” Sylvia’s spirit lifted and she hummed

Meanwhile, in an MPV that was cruising steadily along the traffic, Lily sat elegantly in a long dress with a bustier top. The thought of Odell attending the dinner alone filled her with joy. She smiled as she looked at the man beside her. “Thomas, he didn’t bring Sylvia along with him. Does it mean he’s already fed up with her?” Thomas opened his cell phone. Then, he pulled the sim card out and tossed it out of the window that had been wound down halfway. “Why did you throw the sim card away?” Lily asked. “It’s useless,” he said. Lily furrowed her brows. She had known the man since university. Not only had he amazed everyone with his piano skills, but he also had looks that stood out. He had been the most handsome guy on campus, and girls had been infatuated with him. However, after the old Master Carter had passed away, Odell had been appointed as the company’s heir. As the second son of the Carters, Thomas had lost any rights to inherit the company.Lily had never been

Due to Thomas’ sudden text, Sylvia stayed home for the next few days. She spent her days taking care of her children and did not even visit Carter Tower during lunch or dinner time. Odell was still busy but he would come home every night and check on her via text during the day. After several days of rest, Sylvia finally mustered up her courage to try going out alone. As she took a stroll in a crowded mall, all she saw were strangers and passersby. She did not encounter any suspicious people, let alone Thomas. Sylvia assumed he could only text her from the shadows and could not show himself openly. They were back in Westchester after all, not Galston. No matter how influential and resourceful Thomas was, he would not dare wreak havoc in Westchester. Later in the day, just as Sylvia was about to take a bus home, she ran into Bowman while she was walking out onto the street.Bowman, or Officer Sach, was the one she had been in contact with when she had exposed Tara to th

Under the soft light, her smile looked as gentle and sweet as her voice was. Unable to help himself, he bent down to cup her adorable face before asking in a quiet voice, “Why is your mouth so sweet today? Did you eat some candy?” Sylvia blushed but did not push him away. She moved closer to him and offered up her luscious lips to the man. “Why don’t you give it a try and find out for yourself?” Odell’s expression changed, and he instantly kissed her. His towering figure slowly moved over her as their lips locked. The quiet bedroom was then filled with the sound of their antics.…It was only in the later part of the night that their activities finally stopped. Sylvia was swept up into his arms, feeling drowsy as she lay her head on his chest.However, the man did not allow her to shut her eyes. Instead, he stroked her head and pinched her cheeks as he asked, “Did you go out alone today?” Sylvia hummed in reply. “Where did you go?” “I went for a stroll.” “Where d

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
