One of them, who seemed like a rather mannered man nearing his forties, expressed in a scornful voice, “Roland, have you seen what people are saying about her? They’re starting to make fun of you as well because you’ve been getting involved with her. What are you even thinking? Why are you getting associated with a woman with no self-respect who messes around in the entertainment circle?” Immediately afterward, his other relatives began to chatter as well, “Look what happened to Rockwell Corporation's stock prices now. Is this what you want? Are you going to ruin our family business for a woman like her?” One of them glared at Isabel with an offended look as if she was the carrier of a deadly disease. His eyes were stark with contempt and disgust. “How dare some wench like you try to slither into our family?! Don’t even think about ever becoming Madam Rockwell! I’ll have you know that even if Roland stubbornly insists on being with you, none of us will ever acknowledge your statu

Master Rockwell turned as pale as a sheet of paper while he shifted his attention back on forth between the expressions of Odell, Sylvia, and Isabel. His lips seemed to quiver like he had something to say, but no words were produced from him. Clarice had turned so white that it looked like she was going to faint. Her eyes were wide with disbelief. How could this be? Isabel Ross, the third-rate actor who should never deserve a place in the spotlight was the daughter of the chairman of the Carters of Westchester?! Decker was stiff and quaking all over, his face colored entirely with shock and disbelief. Never in his wildest dreams had he ever thought that the same woman he had once slapped and abandoned when he decided to get with the Houstons to climb up the social ladder was the daughter of the Carters. Everybody else was extremely silent. The venue turned into a graveyard in the dead of the night in an instant. Even the two older shareholders, who were supportive of Roland

Isabel turned to Liam, making sure to not neglect him. “Thank you too, Liam.” Liam turned around to give her a faint smile before turning back to face the front. Without warning, Odell suddenly addressed Roland, "Roland, what’s your plan after this?” Roland was silent for a moment, then he said with a resolute look, "Uncle, I will make sure to do right by Isabel.” Odell cocked an eyebrow and remarked, “Alright, I’ll be patiently waiting.” Roland nodded. “Sure.” With that, he cast a look at Isabel with a faint smile. Isabel smiled back at him. … Shortly after that, the car parked outside the seaside mansion. Martha must have received a heads-up from Roland and knew that Isabel’s parents and brother were on the way. As soon as the group got out of the car, they saw Martha striding toward them with a warm, welcoming smile. She even put on a cute dress for the occasion. Roland introduced his mother to Isabel’s family, “This is my mother.” Then, he walked

Triss was online as well. Mere seconds after she received Isabel’s text, she replied with a grouchy cartoon figure. Isabel chuckled and sent her a voice message, “Triss, thank you for speaking up for me back then. Triss replied, "I get that you only wanted to be an actress without the extra attention, but I’m still a little mad. If I knew that you came from such a powerful background this entire time, I wouldn’t have needed to try to defend you.” Isabel chuckled to herself. She was just about to reply when she received another voice message from Triss. “Anyway, I’m glad everything is fine now," she expressed in a heartfelt voice. They briefly chatted for a while longer, then Isabel went to scroll through her feed again. Half an hour ago, everyone was in an uproar over the exciting reveal of her true identity. Right now, everyone was severely criticizing the media outlets that had been defaming her the entire time. Furthermore, many other artistes such as Isabella, w

Master Rockwell weakly beat his fist against the mattress and cried out sourly, “How could this be?! How could she have turned out to be the daughter of the Carters of all people?” It was all over, beyond over! As Decker lowered his gaze, a shadow was cast over his face. After a while, Master Rockwell grabbed him tightly and said with a fervent, burning look in his eyes. “Decker, listen to me. You two had a thing in the past, didn’t you? Go to her in private and give her a sincere apology. As long as you can get her to forgive you, her family will go easy on you as well!” Her father was at the helm of Carter Corporation, and her brother was the owner of Carter Tech City. Both of them were not to be messed with! If Decker could not get Isabel to forgive him, he was going to be ruined! Decker took a deep breath and said with a dejected look in his grey eyes, "Dad, she’s never going to forgive me." He had betrayed her trust five years ago. Furthermore, he had tried
