Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Chapter 2163

Chapter 2163 Amanda jested, "I'm not you."

She may not have been a public figure the way Isabel was as a celebrity, but she was still a notable figure in the industry, heralded as one of the best agents around. This made her a public figure of sorts. Therefore, there was not a chance she would pluck the courage to start telling people off online the way Isabel would.

She followed it up with another text. "Anyway, this is not the main reason | contacted you. | wanted to ask you about something that | heard was going down at Rockwell Corporation. Is all of it true?"

Isabel was taken aback by this. Had news about Rockwell Corporation spread to the entertainment industry as well?

Amanda must have been checking up on her because she was concerned about her. After all, if something bad were to happen to Rockwell Corporation, Roland would not be safe from the blowback which would subsequently affect Isabel as well.

While she was thinking about how she should respond, Amanda sent yet another text. "Are you sure things are okay down at Southboro? Your boyfriend hasn’t been lashing out at you because of what's been going on at Rockwell Corporation, has he?"

Isabel chuckled. This was what Amanda was worried about! She assured her, "No, he's not going to lose his temper and vent his frustration on me because of work."

Besides, Roland was not that kind of person, not even close. No matter how upset he got, he would not use her as a subject to release his anger.

On the contrary, he was as gentle as they came.

On the outside, he may appear to be distant and stoic, but deep down he was a very gentle and sweet man.

Amanda was relieved. "Alright, that's good to know. Anyway, | have an appointment at the salon. I'll talk to you some other time." "Sure."

Just when Isabel was about to put her phone away, she noticed a tall and lean figure appearing from the corner of her eye.

She looked up and noticed that it was Roland standing by the bed, watching her. She was surprised to see him and asked brazenly, "When did you show up?”

"| just got here." Roland looked at her phone and asked nonchalantly, "Who were you talking to?" "It’s Amanda. She texted me to ask how | was doing in Southboro," Isabel told him.

Upon taking another look at her expression, Roland could tell that she was not very bothered by what people were saying about her online at all. He pursed his lips and grunted, "Hm."

Athought occurred to Isabel, she asked, "Are you finished with work already?"

"Yeah."

“Have you had dinner yet?"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"| have." He continued standing next to the bed and stared at her strangely.

Isabel could sense that something was up and prompted him, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?" "Can you go somewhere with me tomorrow morning?"

This stirred her curiosity. "Where are we going?”

An icy glimmer of light shone past his eyes as he said solemnly, "Rockwell Corporation."

It sounded like they were headed to the frontlines of the battlefield.

Isabel was not expecting this.

She thought about how busy he had been lately and connected the dots with what he mentioned about his plan to take over Rockwell Corporation. With that, she smiled radiantly and agreed, "Sure.”

She knew next to nothing about what was going on in the business world or about the details of his plans to seize Rockwell Corporation. Despite all that, she knew that the best thing she could do was to offer him her solidarity, to stand by his side.

At the very least, he would not have to face the battle all alone. Roland smiled faintly. "Thank you, Isabel."

"You're welcome."

"|... There's one more thing." His ears suddenly turned red. Isabel asked suspiciously, "What’s the matter?"

"Can | spend the night with you?" There was a sudden vulnerable, even affectionate look in his eyes while he was expectantly waiting for her answer.

Although she had been living with him for some time, they still slept in separate rooms. Whenever they wanted to get it on, he would have to ask for her permission.

Right now... Alright then, especially considering what was about to go down tomorrow.

She nudged herself to one side of the bed and patted the space next to her while motioning. "Come."
