Chapter 2181
In his study, Master Rockwell laughed in satisfaction when he listened to the online news his assistant reported to him.Sitting next to him, Decker pursed his lips in silence.A short while later, when he heard that Isabel had publicly scolded Decker on social media, Master Rockwell was stunned and asked, “She publicly scolded Decker?”The assistant replied, “Yes. She might have guessed that it was him who spread those photos.”“Hmph, she’s not dumb.” Master Rockwell glanced at Decker and said doubtfully, “Won’t she be acknowledging her past with Decker if she does that? Isn’t she afraid that Roland will abandon her after finding out?”In Master Rockwell’s opinion, Isabel was just an actress who relied on financial backers to get to the top. She would shamelessly cling to Roland in order to get close to the Rockwells.The assistant was also a little puzzled.Decker, who was silent for a long time, took a breath and said, “Roland knew I was her ex a long time ago.”Master Rockw

Inside a large conference room in Rockwell Corporation.When Roland pushed in the door and entered, Decker and the rest of the shareholders had already taken their seats. He went straight to the seat at the head of the table and sat down.Decker smiled at him. “President Rockwell, what do you think about the drop in the stock price?”Everyone else stared at him.Roland glanced at Decker. “The price will rise when the online storm passes.”“What if it never passes?” Decker smiled. “Or what if Rockwell Corporation’s shares drop to rock bottom in the next few days?”At those words, the shareholders looked at Roland anxiously.“Yes, President Rockwell, you need to issue a statement.”“You can’t let Rockwell Corporation be ruined by public opinion against you.”Roland interrupted them in a cold voice, “I’m not the one who wants to ruin Rockwell Corporation.”The implications were obvious. Someone deliberately sparked the online public discussion. Who was it?Most shareholders gla

On the phone, Amanda said in a low voice, “Isabel, there are no more discussions about you on the Internet now.”Isabel was stunned. “At all?”“Yes. The trending news has been completely suppressed, but...”Isabel continued her words. “But the netizens aren’t buying it, and it’s having a counterproductive effect?”Amanda was afraid that Isabel would be upset and quickly said, “It’s okay, it’s just a temporary thing. As long as the news doesn’t start trending again, it’ll probably stop in a few days.”Isabel pursed her lips and asked, “Is there anything else?”If that was all, Amanda’s tone would not be that low.Amanda sighed. “All the work that I negotiated for you is gone.”Isabel had thought that it was something else. “I haven’t had any work for the past few months anyway. It doesn’t matter.”Amanda said somewhat wearily, “Isabel, I’ve tried everything I could think of...”“I know. Thank you, Amanda. I’ll solve this matter myself.” Before she could finish her words, she s

Roland silently pursed his lips. His face was cold as firm as before without any shifting emotions.The old man standing on the left could not help but shout, “What’s so great about that celebrity? She just has a pretty face! She can’t help you with anything, and now it’s her fault that you’re in this predicament. Why won’t you break up with her?”Roland’s eyes turned cold. “She didn’t do anything, much less harm me.”The old man was frightened by his expression and wanted to say something else but was pulled back by his companion.The other old man said to Roland, “Roland, we’re not asking you to really break up with her. Just pretend to break up. Make an announcement online that you’ve broken up with her, but you can still contact each other as you wish in private.”This was the best of both worlds for them.However, Roland’s expression turned hard, and he said in a firm and icy voice, “I won’t break up with her.”The two old men were frightened by his face and tone. After a m

It was late at night.Isabel lay naked in Roland’s arms and suddenly remembered what the two old men said to him before. She asked curiously, “Did the Houston family really try to set you and Clarice up together?”Roland wrapped his arm around her and hummed softly.Isabel could not help but look back at him and asked with a teasing smile, “Why didn’t you agree?”The Houstons were the most influential family in Southboro, and Clarice was the young lady of the family. She did not look too bad either. If he got together with her, Decker would not have taken Rockwell Corporation back then.Roland pinched her sly face and said with sincere eyes, “I didn’t like her.”Isabel smiled. “I thought she was the one who didn’t like you.”Everyone knew that Clarice liked Decker.Roland said without changing his expression, “She probably doesn’t like me either.”He did not like her anyway, so he naturally did not care about who she liked.Isabel laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Isabel pursed her lips. “Mm.”Then, she took out her phone to call her father.The line rang until she almost got the busy tone, and then it was picked up.Isabel called out sweetly, “Dad.”“Mm.” Odell asked softly, “Do you need my help this time?”He obviously knew about the discussions about her on the Internet.Isabel pursed her lips and said, “I want you and Mom to come to Southboro.”“Okay.” Odell smiled. “Since I’ve chosen him as my son-in-law, I naturally can’t watch him being bullied.”Isabel smiled. “Thanks, Dad.”The call soon finished.Martha sat in the distance, looking at her.When Isabel finished the call, Martha walked up to her and asked, “Isabel, is your family okay?”“They’re fine.” After thinking about it, Isabel looked at her. “Didn’t Roland tell you about my family?”Martha smiled. “He said that your family is very kind.”“That’s all?”“Yes. Is something wrong?”“No.” Isabel smiled, then looked at Martha sincerely. “I want to tell you something abou

Did Clarice mean that if Roland did not take Isabel to the party, then he did not want the Rockwells to approve of her?Did Clarice think that she was a fool? That she did not know about the Rockwells' affairs?The Rockwells did not matter, and neither did its members who ostracized and bullied Roland.Isabel would be an idiot if she needed their approval.Furthermore, Roland’s mother had long since regarded Isabel as her darling daughter-in-law. She did not need anyone else’s approval!Isabel narrowed her eyes.She read Clarice’s message again. It was not hard to guess that Clarice just wanted to provoke her into making Roland take her to the dinner party tonight.Roland must have known about the party, but he did not bring it up at all. It must be because he did not plan on going.There was a conspiracy at the dinner party.What was it?Isabel curled her lips.No matter what, she had to go!She ignored Clarice and messaged Roland directly. “Are you busy now?”Roland swif

They contacted the paparazzi in advance for tonight’s dinner party.As long as Roland appeared with Isabel, photos of them in the same frame would be published online.The discussions that Roland had previously suppressed would rise again and definitely be fiercer than before.Rockwell Corporation’s shares, which had just stabilized slightly, would certainly fall again.At that time, Decker and Master Rockwell, along with the other shareholders, would force Roland to abdicate!Decker was still frowning.Five years ago, Isabel was devoted to him. She was gentle, intelligent, simple-minded, and intellectual. She did not care about fame and fortune.Now, she was bright, smart, and cunning. She seemed to have all sorts of thoughts. However, she seemed to both care and not care about fame and fortune.He really could not guess if she would take Clarice’s bait and make Roland take her to the dinner party tonight.Seeing how conflicted Decker was, Master Rockwell grew impatient and l

Roland did not say anything.Soon, the car stopped at the hotel entrance.The bellboy at the entrance came forward to open the car door for them.After getting out of the car, Roland took Isabel’s hand and walked in.The staff guarding the entrance of the venue most likely knew from the Internet that Isabel and Roland were together. When they saw her and Roland coming, they did not ask her for an invitation and simply stepped to the side, letting them go straight in.Many people had already arrived at the venue at that point.Isabel had only met Master Rockwell, Decker, Isabel, and a few other familiar-looking senior shareholders of Rockwell Corporation. She did not know anyone else.When Roland and she came in, those people stopped talking and looked at them. Their eyes were filled with mockery and ridicule.No one came forward to greet them.Only Clarice came up while holding Decker’s arm.Decker smiled and looked at Isabel. His eyes were slightly mocking as he sized her up

Isabel pouted. “I want wine.”Roland’s expression was stern. “Drink the juice first.”Fine.Isabel reluctantly took two gulps of juice. Her empty stomach was filled, making her feel much better.Now that she was no longer hungry, she stopped munching on the toast and looked at the table of drinks behind Roland.Roland pursed his lips and brought her a glass of red wine.Isabel smiled and drank the wine immediately.The others saw this scene.The expressions of the Rockwell relatives surrounding Master Rockwell and Decker all turned cold.“He’s the young master of the Rockwells and the largest shareholder of Rockwell Corporation, but he’s completely wrapped around the finger of a woman from the entertainment industry. How embarrassing.”“This woman is very clever. I wonder how she coaxed Roland into being so considerate.”“It must be dirty tricks.”...Although Master Rockwell was unhappy with Roland’s action of pouring wine for Isabel, his lips also curled when he listened
