“Sure.” Roland smiled. "I'll tell you more about it when we get back." “Alright.” After they finished their meal, she went to the hotel with him. After they took a shower, they huddled in bed together. Isabel leaned over Roland’s shoulder, using it as a pillow, then she threw her leg over him as well to make herself comfortable. With that, she prompted him, “You can start now.” Roland gently stroked her hair and began, "Rockwell Corporation is going to face a crisis very soon. I plan to take advantage of that window and take over.” An upcoming crisis? Isabel was taken aback by this and asked, "How do you know that there will be an upcoming crisis?" Was he the one setting it up? Roland remarked with a wry smile, “No, I have nothing to do with it. It’s a consequence of some the malpractices conducted by their internal management over the past few years." "Oh." Isabel continued probing, “How do you plan to make your move?” Roland suddenly grew silent, and

Roland informed plainly, “These few projects I mentioned need a very large amount of upfront investment.” "Of course, we know that. We don’t need you to tell us that.” “What kind of project doesn’t need a large sum of upfront investment anyway?” "The funds for these projects have been pre-allocated since the start of the year. You don’t have to come up with a measly excuse to justify your intentionally picking on us!” All three of Jimmy, Charles, and Lester glared at Roland discontentedly. The others joined in and threw snide remarks at Roland, “Mr. Roland, you’re only worried because you don’t want us to spend all the company funds that you hoped would go into your pockets instead, aren’t you?” "The funds allocated to our projects are all in the public account. They won’t go into his pockets no matter what.” Roland frowned. He decided there was no need for him to explain himself. He promptly shut his notebook and tucked away the pen, then he got up and walked out

The bodyguard and the driver promptly stepped out of the car and went to open the door for Roland. A pair of long and slender legs wearing polished leather boots stepped out from the dark interior of the car. The first thing Roland did was to remove his blazer, revealing a bleached white shirt underneath. The gentle sea breeze parted his hair. Like a curtain drawn apart, his handsome and chiseled features were brought into full view, and the setting sun cast a scarlet glow over his face. Even though Isabel had seen this man countless times, she was still mesmerized by his unfair beauty. Roland handed the blazer to his bodyguard before striding up to Isabel. Isabel sat on the beach the entire time and looked up at him. For some reason she could not quite put her finger on, she felt a strange sort of unfamiliarity with this man standing before her. It was as if this was her first time meeting this handsome man. "Isabel," Roland called out her name. The familiar

Isabel spent her time relaxing and filling her stomach with good food. From time to time, she would go to the gym to keep up her fitness level. Roland let her do whatever she wished. In his free time, he would bring her to interesting places in Southboro to sightsee. During their conversations, he would not bring up anything related to Rockwell Corporation unless it was Isabel who asked about them, in which case he would answer all of her questions whatever they may be. Now and then, she would fly back to Westchester for scheduled shootings for “The Wonder”. Otherwise, she spent the majority of her time at the mansion. Two months passed in the blink of an eye. It was a Sunday. Around the evening, Isabel finished shooting the last episode of “The Wonder”. Immediately after that, she got on a plane back to Southboro. Coincidentally, she met Isabella on the plane. They were seated right next to each other. Isabella seemed just as surprised to see Isabel on the same pl

Isabella waited for a reply for some time. Eventually, she gauged that Clarice was probably not going to reply any time soon, and with that, she put away her phone with a morose grunt. Her purpose for coming to Southboro this time was to keep Clarice company. She had hoped that she could offer Clarice some emotional support during this current difficult period with what happened with Decker. Perhaps she could get closer to Clarice this way. To her demise, Clarice still held herself above her! Despite this setback, she did not plan to leave Southboro any time soon. Since she was here, she had the chance to witness Isabel’s reaction to the downfall of her poor boyfriend getting kicked out of his family! … Meanwhile, shortly after Roland merged into the highway, Isabel asked the question she had long been wanting to ask, “So, what happened at Rockwell Corporation?" Roland stated calmly, “Capital chain rupture.” Isabel was taken aback by this. Something as serious a
