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

Sylvia took a ride to Westchester’s New District. The New District had actually been considered a suburb a few years ago. However, due to rapid development, there were a lot more people and traffic passing through the area now.She had come to the New District to lure Thomas out. Bowman had found traces of Thomas’ activities, all of which had led to this part of the city. He strongly believed that Thomas was in the district. He had no other way of luring Thomas out other than using Sylvia as bait. He instructed her to take a stroll in the New District in the hopes that it might catch Thomas’ attention. Sylvia got out of the car and started wandering around along the sidewalk. Pretty soon, she came to a retro-looking bar. Having caught her attention, she decided to go inside. The owner of the bar, a young lady, personally welcomed her when she came in. Sylvia was not much of a drinker but she wanted to pretend that she had come to have a drink as a means to drown her sorr

Sylvia slept until she woke up naturally, which was around the same time as usual but Odell had already gone to work. She got up and washed her face. Then she changed into fresh clothes, nursed Flint and had breakfast. She also spent some time with Isabel and Liam before she handed Flint over to Aunt Tonya when she thought it was almost time to go. Leaving Isabel and Liam with a reminder to be good, she then took a ride to the bar in New District. Ben had been the one to drive her to the bar in the past two days. Before she got out of the car, he said, “Madam, I’ll be waiting in the car. Just call me if you need anything.” Sylvia hummed in reply and got out of the car. The bar and its surroundings looked the same but there were two more tables with customers inside. The customers gave subtle glances at Sylvia as soon as she went in. Thinking about what Bowman had told her, Sylvia assumed that they were undercover police officers. The thought eased her nervousness slig

Sylvia furrowed her brows. The lady owner screamed again. Sylvia saw that blood had started to drip from the lady owner’s neck. The man had cut her skin with the blade. Sylvia’s eyes widened in shock and fear, and her body started to shake. All she had wanted was to lure Thomas out of hiding. She had not wanted any innocent people to be involved. “I’ll go with you. Just please, let her go!” Sylvia bolted up. “Great. Come, take a walk with me and he’ll release her.” Thomas got up and smiled at the police officers. “You guys better stay put. I have more men in this place than you could possibly imagine.” The officers stared at him cautiously. The leader of the group bellowed, “Thomas Carter, stop this at once!” Thomas took a quick glance at Sylvia before he walked outside. Sylvia took a deep breath. Then, she glanced at the lady owner who was being held hostage and took a deep breath before she followed Thomas out. Not long after, she followed Thomas into an all

They reached home shortly after. The three kids were taking a nap, while Aunt Tonya and the others were resting. Only Sebastian and two bodyguards were in the yard. Sylvia greeted them and hurried inside. She went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. There was a red mark on the upper left part of her collarbone. It was not exactly huge but was still rather eye-catching. She dipped the towel in warm water and placed it over the spot. After the towel had cooled down, she removed it but saw that the hickey remained. All of a sudden, Flint’s cry sounded, indicating that the baby must have woken up. Sylvia immediately grabbed a collared pink dress from the closet to cover the hickey. She changed into the dress and went to the childrens’ room. Flint’s cry had woken both Isabel and Liam. Isabel was so sleepy that she was rubbing her eyes. Liam was sleepy as well but he was carrying the baby in his arms to try and calm him down. Sylvia immediately took over 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
