Sylvia played with the three little ones until the evening.In the evening, Isabel and Liam both had a piano lesson. Aunt Tonya brought Flint to bed.Sylvia went to the third floor by herself. There was a big room with three walls facing the sun.At this time of the day, the orange sunset slanted from the west and landed on the neat and clean table, the floor, and the painting and carving tools on the table.Aunt Tonya had told her about this place, saying that it was a workshop specially prepared for her.Although Sylvia had no memory of this place, she had a familiar feeling as soon as she stepped inside. She could not help but look at the complete sets of painting tools, and the two paintings hanging on the wall.The paintings were framed. Both of them were landscapes, and the artist's signature stamp on the bottom read: Sunflower. The signature stamp was placed in a box in a corner of the table.Sylvia lifted her hand to touch it, but when she remembered that one of these th

Odell looked at her with a stern gaze. "You're not allowed to carve anymore. Wait until your hand is better."Sylvia pursed her lips.Odell frowned again as his expression turned cold. It was clear that his words were not up for discussion, so she had no choice but to put down the carving knife and stood up.He held one of her hands and led her outside.When she passed the painting area, she could not help but glance at the two paintings again.Odell noticed her gaze and looked over."Odell, did I really paint those two paintings?"He looked at her and pursed his lips. "Yeah.""I'm really amazing."He held back a smile and said, "If you feel your hands itch, you can paint for the next few days and continue carving when your hands are better."Sylvia hesitated. "I'd rather not."The reason why she could carve so smoothly was most likely because she used to carve erasers for fun when she was in school. However, the two paintings in front of her were in no way something that sh

Half an hour later, Sylvia arrived at a pedestrian street near the Art Academy.The street architecture and installations exuded a vintage and scholarly feel. Various stores were interspersed with the galleries and several small art stores, among which were two sculpting studios.Sylvia went in for a stroll.Some of the carvings were not very skillful, but they had a distinct design. Sylvia bought two trinkets to carry in her hand and then continued to stroll inside.Unknowingly, she reached the end of the street and entered an open painting exhibition.In front of her was a moderately-sized square filled with paintings of all kinds.Sylvia was confused for a moment, but her steps did not stop as she walked toward the paintings.Some of the paintings were mature, some were childish, some were introspective, and some were cheerful and with a lot of personalities. It did not seem like they were the work of students of the Art Academy. Instead, they looked like they were painted by

The smile was polite and graceful, but it was also condescending.Sylvia felt awkward, so she did not look at the woman and continued to look at Simon instead.Simon also looked her up and down. "Sylvia, why do I feel that something's different about you this time?"Sylvia pursed her lips and was just about to say that she lost her memory when an unpleasant female voice rang out. "Ms. Ross, even if we had some misunderstandings before, you don't have to ignore me, do you?"Lily's expression still maintained its politeness and elegance, but her gaze was cold and contemptuous.The air instantly fell silent.Simon's expression changed, and everyone else was quiet.Sylvia paused and looked at her. "Do we know each other?"The atmosphere froze in an instant.Lily turned ashen. "Sylvia, do you think you can act all high-and-mighty now that you have Master Carter to protect you?"'How dare she talk to me like this in public?! Act high-and-mighty?' Sylvia asked directly, "Do you know

Sylvia ran all the way out of the street.Jacob had been following her from the shadows. When she started to run, he went after her and caught up with her when she finally stopped.He asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Madam? Did you meet someone who wants to harm you?"Sylvia panted from exhaustion. "N.-no.""Then, why are you running?""I met a group of difficult people." Thinking of the young woman who led the group in heckling her earlier, she looked at Jacob and asked, "Do you know who the people who just talked to me were?""I know a few. Except for Ms. Springsteen, the others should be from the Westchester Art Association."'The Art Association? So, the man who was warm and cordial to me earlier was my good friend Simon Foster? As for Ms. Springsteen...'She asked, "Is Ms. Springsteen the woman who stood in front and talked to me?"Jacob responded, "Yes."Sylvia frowned. 'No wonder she was acting strangely toward me. She's Lily Springsteen, the eldest daughter of the Spri

"Then, I came back."Odell smiled and pinched her face, asking, "Why did you suddenly go to see a painting exhibition this afternoon?"Sylvia's eyes flickered. "It's boring just being at home."Odell pursed his lips silently.She looked up at him with glowing eyes. "Can you open the door on the third floor?""Do you want to continue carving?" He looked at her with a sharp gaze.Sylvia hurriedly avoided his sight and said, "I want to paint.""Do you really just want to paint?"She continued to avoid his eyes and hummed.Odell smiled. "Sure. I'll open it tomorrow morning before I leave.""Okay."...The next morning, after Odell left for work, Sylvia arrived on the third floor. She raised her hand and pressed on the door handle.Creak.The door of the room was pushed open.Her eyes lit up and she immediately walked in, going past the painting area to the carving section.After walking to that side, the light in her eyes instantly dimmed.There was not a single carving to

The door to the third floor was open.As soon as he entered, he saw the small painting on the easel.No, to be precise, it was two small circles that seemed to be randomly painted. The rest of it was blank.The brushes were also casually put away, and the paint was not used at all. The surrounding ground was also clean.It was not hard to figure out that she had only stayed here for a short time before leaving.'She still can't paint?'He was silent for a while, turned around, and walked out....Sylvia was woken up by Flint. He did not cry when he woke up, but he kept pressing his head against Sylvia, his little face particularly cute.Sylvia kissed him and carried him to the living room.In the living room, Odell was sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper. Isabel was snuggled up to him, watching a show with the phone in her hand. Liam was sitting on the other side, reading a book.Aunt Tonya and Sebastian were both outside, and the atmosphere was quiet.Then, Isabel n

"When will you learn it?""It'll take a few months at the earliest."Odell frowned and said coldly, "Come back in a month.""Master Carter, you must be kidding. The sorcerer himself took years to learn this. I'm just an ordinary person, not a god—""Come back within a month and I'll triple your reward.""Okay, I'll get up and learn now. I'll be back within a month!"Odell hung up the phone and exhaled another breath of smoke. Then, he extinguished the cigarette and threw it out of the window....The weather had turned cooler, and the temperature was much lower than before.Sylvia did not coop herself up at home anymore. Thinking that the two little ones would start school soon, she took them out every day for the next few days to play. They went to the amusement park, watched movies, and played games.Isabel was overjoyed, and Liam was also quite happy. Flint could only sit in the stroller and watch as they played.Soon, it was the day for the two children to start school.

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
