Chapter 2170
Isabel felt her emotions stirring inside her. After a brief pause, she remarked, "I see. | was just asking out of curiosity. | didn't mean anything else by it.”
Roland seemed relieved to hear this and stated, "Be sure to let me know if there's anything else you're curious about. I'll tell you everything.”
Isabel smiled upon hearing this. "Got it." She was not going to torture herself with needless suspicions.
Roland smiled warmly when he noticed her smile. He promptly segued to his primary concern, "Speaking of which, aren't you going back to Westchester this weekend?"
"Yeah, why?" "Can | go with you?"
"Sure." Upon giving her reply, Isabel suddenly realized something and was a strange look at him. There was a clear sparkle in his eyes.
She suddenly recalled his reason for coming to Southboro in the first place. He had returned to Southboro to reclaim Rockwell Corporation, thus fulfilling the promise he had made to Isabel's father.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Now that he had essentially taken Rockwell Corporation back, he was going to return to Westchester to make good on his promise to Odell.
The thought of it made Isabel smile, but she chose to not address it directly.
Roland returned an affectionate smile at her as well when he noted the way she bloomed like a flower. At midnight, inside Isabel's bedroom, she lay exhaustedly on the bed after the long ordeal with Roland. Roland kissed her gently on the forehead. "Get some rest. I’m going to take a shower."
"Okay."
With that, he went to the shower.
Isabel closed her eyes and promptly drifted off to sleep.
Ding!
Her sleep was interrupted by her phone buzzing beside her.
She reached for the phone that sat on the edge of her pillow. It was a message from Liam that read, "When are you coming back to Westchester?"
She replied curiously, "Why? Did something happen?" “Mom and Dad are beginning to miss you "
Come to think of it, it had been several months since she went home. She sat up on the bed and replied, "Oh, it’s fine. I'll be home this weekend."
Liam dropped the conversation after that.
Then, a thought suddenly occurred to Isabel. She glanced in the direction of the bathroom and composed another text to Liam. "By the way, have you ever heard of the name Mr.
Bright?"
Based on the reaction of Decker and the others when she went to Rockwell Corporation with Roland earlier today, she figured that none of them knew that Roland was Mr. Bright.
She was wondering how was it that nobody ever made the connection between Mr. Bright and Roland. Roland had told her that it was because nobody had ever seen Mr. Bright in person since he always conducted his business from the shadows, always avoiding direct contact with whatever clients contacted him.
This was why she decided to probe and see if Liam had heard of the name Mr. Bright. Liam replied promptly, "Yeah, he's a business savant who emerged around two years ago.”
Even Liam knew about him! It was a true testament to Roland's abilities.
Shortly after that, it was Liam's turn to ask, "Why are you asking about him?"
Isabel snickered to herself and replied smugly, "I simply know him."
This stirred Liam’s curiosity. "How do you know him?"
Judging by the speed of his reply, he must be very curious about this mysterious Mr. Bright.
Isabel told him without beating around the bush, "He's Roland."
Liam stopped replying for a moment. He seemed to be processing the information.
After a moment, he asked, "Are you sure?”
Isabel chuckled. "You'll just have to take my word for it."
With that, she put her phone away.
Meanwhile, in a bungalow somewhere in Carter Tech City, hovering on the borders of Westchester. Liam and Caprice had moved and settled their family here after they got married.
Liam was sitting on the couch. He held his child in one arm and his phone in his other hand. He stared at the screen blankly.
Caprice had just woken up from a nap. She stretched lazily and walked downstairs where she saw Liam staring perplexedly at his phone. She called out after him and asked, "Liam, is everything okay?"
“Nothing.” Liam blinked a few times before remarking, "He’s asleep. Can you carry him back to the room? | need to give my father a call. I'll join you after that."
