There was a still look in Roland’s eyes as he looked at Isabel. Isabel withdrew her hand and approached the sink. She turned on the faucet and doused her hand in cold water with her back facing Roland. There was a mirror in front of the sink, so she caught a brief hint of Roland’s reflection in it. While washing her hands, she subtly inspected his reflection in the mirror. She saw Roland staring at her from behind for several seconds before he went to pour the contents of the pot into a bowl. His movements were practiced and graceful. Isabel snuck another look at his face. He seemed very focused on his task and did not seem to be thinking about anything else. He probably did not think much of it when she grazed her fingers against his palms. With that, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. Roland had already set the food on the table and had sat down. When he noticed Isabel stepping out of the kitchen, he asked in con

”Huh? Why?” Isabel sat up from the bed. “I’m not at my place right now. I’m in a neighboring apartment. Just wait for me at the entrance. I’ll get ready and meet you there.” “Okay, got it.” After hanging up, she shot out of bed and quickly washed up. Then, she changed into a set of clean clothes before prancing out of the bedroom. Roland was in the living room. He wore a buttoned shirt paired with leather pants and was seated on the couch watching the morning financial news. Martha was making breakfast. When she saw Isabel, she greeted her with a warm smile, “Good morning, Isabel, I’m just making breakfast. Sit down and eat with us.” Isabel said kindly, “Thanks, Aunt Martha, but I’m in a rush. My driver and assistant are already waiting for me outside." She had breakfast with Martha yesterday, but she could not just sit here and take her time eating breakfast while Carla and her driver were waiting for her downstairs. “It’s alright. Why don’t you at least take s

Liz was just as perturbed by the sudden appearance of the man. She recalled the same man being affectionate with Isabella only moments ago. This man seemed like the one she thought to be Isabella’s benefactor and was rumored to be the future successor of the Rockwells in Southboro. Why was he approaching Isabel? In such an affectionate manner, no less! Liz looked at Isabel. Isabel snapped at him crossly, "None of your business!" Liz was stupefied. Decker's handsome expression darkened immediately. Isabel was not afraid of him at all. She turned to the two bodyguards following behind her who were only employed this morning. They dutifully stepped forward and came in between Decker and Isabel. Isabel warned him icily, "Decker, if you try to harass me again, I will have them beat the life out of you.” With that, she tugged at Liz’s hand and took her to the car. The two bodyguards glared at Decker menacingly and approached the car as well. Decker stood moti

Isabel arrived with several actors and the director. Just as she was about to greet the producers, she noticed Decker standing with them. He was wearing an expensive suit and smiled handsomely at everyone. All of the female staff of the hotel and the film crew could not take their eyes off of him. Even some of the actresses were immediately obsessed with him as well. Isabel frowned. What was this scum of a man doing here? Meanwhile, the director and the actor who played the male lead went to greet the producer. The producer promptly gestured at Decker who was standing with him and introduced him to everyone, "This here is Mr. Decker. He is the biggest investor of the show.” The director and the male lead instinctively darted a glance at Isabel before wiping away the look and greeting Decker politely. It was public knowledge that Isabella had, at one point, tried to steal the female lead role of the “Legend of the Goddess” from Isabel. Additionally, rumors of Isabel

Her expression tightened abruptly. "Decker?" She turned around and glared at him. "This is the women's washroom. What are you doing here?" Decker stood near the foot of the door with a wicked smile. "I came to find you." As Isabel frowned, her gut feeling was telling her something was wrong. She asked icily, "Did you spike my wine?” "As expected of my favorite Isabel, you’re as smart as I thought.” With that, he took a step towards her. Isabel immediately cried out, "Stop! Don’t you dare come here!” Decker smiled wickedly and continued pressing on toward her. He was tall and imposing. Isabel had witnessed firsthand how strong he was that other night outside her house when he had pinned her to the wall. There was no way she could fight him off. Her two bodyguards were outside the hotel, and they were not going to be there to help her any time soon. The effect of whatever Decker spiked her drink with was making her lose control of her body and her senses. Sh
