The friend Decker came here with had regular business dealings with Carter Corporation and was
considered one of their more respected business partners. It was out of consideration for his status that
he and Decker were seated in an esteemed seat at the table right next to Odell’s.
One of the senior executives was put in charge of hosting everyone and promptly addressed everyone
with a brief speech.
After everyone was invited to sit, the dinner commenced.
Decker picked up the cutlery gracefully, minding his manners all the while. He waited until all of the
noteworthy men had given toast to Odell before raising the glass himself and motioning politely in
Odell’s direction. “President Carter, it is a great honor to have met you here. Let me give you a toast.”
Odell looked at him rather cordially. “You are very kind, President Rockwell.”
Decker downed the glass of wine.
Odell raised his glass and took a humble sip from it.
Decker sat back in his chair after that.
While dinner was ongoing, several executives of Carter Corporation exchanged casual small talk with
their business partners.
After eating several bites of food, just enough to fill his stomach, Decker looked at the people around
him. Upon noting that they were wrapping up their conversation, he asked quite nonchalantly with a
friendly smile, “Speaking of which, why isn’t the current president of Carter Corporation, Mr. Roland
here?”
This seemed to have caught Odell’s intrigue, but his reaction was quite subtle.
Upon hearing this, two senior executives eyed Decker suspiciously.
One of them asked, “President Rockwell, it sounds like you’re quite familiar with Mr. Roland. Are you
acquainted with him by any chance?”
Everyone else at the table turned to look at Decker to see what he had to say.
Decker remarked with a candid smile, “You see, he is my nephew."
The two senior executives were visibly caught off guard by this and darted curious glances at Odell.
Everyone else at the table was equally shocked.
Odell, on the other hand, was quite in control of himself. He barely reacted at all to this sudden
revelation.
The two executives redirected their attention back to Decker.
One of them remarked, “That’s a surprise. We didn’t know that Mr. Roland came from Southboro and is
a Rockwell as well.”
Decker noted, “Yep. Something happened in our family around a year ago which led to him leaving
Southboro. It was only very recently that when I received word that he had found his way to
Westchester and was now the acting president at Carter Corporation. It was such a shock to me and
completely refreshed my opinion of him.”
Everyone fell silent for several seconds to process this information.
Although Westchester and Southboro were some distance apart, news tended to travel faster than one
would expect, especially in exclusive circles among the high society. This was especially the case with
scandals such as what went down with the Southboro’s Rockwells.
It was said that the patriarch of the Rockwells favored his illegitimate son over his grandson who was
said to be quite a promising young man. Not only did the patriarch choose to let his illegitimate son
inherit Rockwell Corporation, but he even planned to leave behind all of his assets to the illegitimate
son as well. Of all these assets, more than half of them belonged to his wife who had expressed firm
intention of letting their grandson inherit them.
If Roland was truly Decker's nephew, that must make Roland the rumored true heir of the Rockwells.
He was the one who was said to be a very promising young lad but ended up getting betrayed by his
grandfather who chose the illegitimate son over him, the one who ended up getting banished from the
city.
Everyone knew better than to blatantly point this out, but they all shared a secretive chuckle amongst
themselves since they knew the full story.
One of the executives quickly pulled himself out of his state of shock. He swiped a glance at Odell's
expression before turning to address Decker, “You must not be very familiar with your nephew. He may
be young, but he is certainly a high achiever and has proven himself to be more than capable in
everything we entrusted him with. We have nothing but admiration for him. Even President Carter is
impressed by him.”
Another executive echoed the same sentiment, “That’s right."
They were not-so-subtly rallying for Roland.
Decker stiffened briefly, then he played it off with a quick smile. “I’ve always thought he was very
competent as well, but he refused to stay in Southboro and there was nothing I could do about it."
After a pause, he asked casually, “Why isn’t he here today? I thought I would see him here.”
One of the executives remarked, “It’s Saturday. He usually spends his weekend in private.”
Decker brought up in a joking manner, “Busy dating with his celebrity girlfriend, I suppose?”
Celebrity girlfriend?
This stunned the executives once again.
Odell, who had been silent all this time, raised an eyebrow and looked at Decker as well.
Everyone else at the table grew very curious, and one of them boldly probed for more information, "Is
Mr. Roland dating a celebrity?"
“You guys don’t know?” Decker asked exaggeratedly.
