Decker scowled the moment he heard Isabel sniggering at him. He looked like he was going to shoot
lasers out of his eyes.
Isabel leaned in closer toward Roland for protection, then she cocked an eyebrow at Decker and
continued taunting him.
That was when Clarice spoke up, her voice filled with temper, "Isabel, this is a business place, not a
stage for third-rate actors like you. You have no place here!”
Isabel was in too much of a good mood to be provoked by her cheap taunt.
She flashed a smile at Clarice and returned the favor. “Who are you to tell me to leave? Why should I
listen to you?”
Clarice turned red with anger. "You..."
Isabel proceeded to laugh tauntingly in her face.
Clarice became so furious that she wanted to hurl herself at Isabel but could not because Roland was
right next to her. She turned to Roland for help. "Roland, are you just going to let her behave like that?”
Roland cast a glance at Isabel before remarking nonchalantly, “Why, what’s wrong with what she’s
doing?”
Neither was she getting in the way of their contract signing nor was she intentionally picking on anyone.
She was only here as a spectator, nothing more.
Clarice's voice was caught in her throat. She stewed in frustration for a while before exclaiming out
loud, "She's just an actress. She shouldn't be here!"
Roland said briskly, "I wanted her to come with me. Do you have any problem with that?”
Clarice was speechless.
It was as if a cat had caught her tongue. She continued glaring at the couple bitterly but could not come
up with anything else to rebuke them.
“Speaking of which, Miss Houston, I’d suggest you stop blacklisting Isabel," Roland said with a pointed
glare at Clarice, his voice dropping to a low, threatening pitch. “If not, I'll see to it that your fiancé gets
kicked out of Rockwell Corporation."
Clarice turned pale upon hearing this.
While Decker clenched his fists, his expression was livid and it looked like he was going to resort to
violence at any moment.
Most of the other members present were Decker’s allies while two of the older shareholders were on
good terms with Roland. However, they cast their affiliations aside and chose not to interfere and only
spectate in silence instead.
At last, Roland rose and held out a hand to Isabel. “Come, let's go home.”
Isabel nodded curtly and linked her hands to Roland’s. With that, the duo walked out of the room
completely unbothered by the way Decker and Clarice were glaring at them. The rest of them watched
as the two disappeared.
The lawyers and assistants who came with Roland promptly collected the signed contracts and left as
well.
With that, an oppressing wave of silence washed over the room.
Infuriated, Decker swung a glass of water set on the table to the ground, smashing it into smithereens.
Clarice took a step back in horror.
Nobody spoke.
After a while, it was Master Rockwell who tried to console him, “Roland, there are still many days
ahead of us.”
The other executives and shareholders chimed in as well, “That’s right, President Decker. Even though
President Roland is the majority shareholder now, you still have the largest shares in the corporation
next to him.”
"I believe that it’s only a matter of time before you put him into his place and take back what’s yours. I
know what you’re capable of.”
The two shareholders who were friends with Roland were the sole outliers in this situation. They
exchanged looks and held their tongues while the others began flattering and pandering to Decker.
Decker may be an effective businessman and strategist, but Roland was an entire stratosphere above
him.
If not for Master Rockwell setting the foundation for him in addition to the support of the Houstons, he
would have never managed to drive Roland out of the corporation in the past.
Besides, things were vastly different now. Even if Roland did not have any capable allies, he had
countless resources at his disposal, unlike his previous self.
It was just as Roland said—the only way he could win out against him was in his wild fantasies.
While they were all busy trying to suck up to Decker, Master Rockwell rose to his feet by himself with
the help of his walking stick. He addressed Decker and Clarice, "Who was that girl back there who
came with Roland?”
As Decker frowned, the sheer remembrance of seeing Isabel and Roland holding hands together
soured his mood yet again.
