Chapter 2109

The film crew took advantage of the rain to finish up most of the rainy scenes.

It was a rather busy week, and Friday came before Isabel knew it.

On Friday, the crew managed to wrap up everything around three in the afternoon, and Isabel returned to the hotel

after that.

The first thing she did was take a hot bath. Then, she made sure to apply lotion and doused herself in her favorite

perfume. She picked out a dress that hugged her slender waist and accentuated her figure before sitting by the

window to wait for Roland to visit.

The thought of the though slightly juvenile, yet sweet and innocent surprise that Roland prepared for her last week

made her smile. She wondered if he would prepare something similar for her again this week.

Time slowly trickled past while she waited.

It was already getting dark outside, and even the rain was gradually stopping.

She watched as some of the film crew went out together to hang out for the weekend, then she watched as they

returned to the hotel. She waited endlessly, but there was no sight of Roland's car pulling up at the junction.

What was with delay? Where was he?

She reached out her phone and tapped on her messages with Roland.

The last time they had spoken was two days ago. Since both of them were always busy with work during the

weekdays, they very rarely talked to each other.

She sent him a message, "Are you on the way?"

One minute, two minutes... Ten minutes passed, yet there was no response from him.

Perhaps he was driving.

She started to get concerned, and that was when Flint's name popped up on the display. He had sent her a short

text, "Hey, sis, I heard Roland is the son of the Rockwells in Southboro this entire time. Did you know about this?"

Isabel frowned.

She figured that the only ones in Westchester who knew about Roland's true identity were her, Decker, and Clarice.

How did Flint know about this?

She asked him directly, "How did you find out?"

Flint replied, "I was just leaving the lab today when a friend of mine who worked in Dad’s office told me. Everyone in

Carter Corporation has found out about it."

The entire Carter Corporation knew?

Then, Flint sent her another text, "By the way, they say it was

Roland's uncle who broke the news to everyone when he was invited to a company dinner our corporation hosted."

Isabel's eyes gleamed with ice, and she asked frantically, " Was Decker intentionally badmouthing Roland during the

dinner?"

Flint replied, "Well, I wouldn't call it badmouthing, but..."

Isabel was very anxious by this point. "But what? Out with it already."

Flint sent her a long paragraph after that. "Decker said something about Roland dating a celebrity, which he

revealed was you. I don’t think Decker knows that you're a Carter. He only talked about how much Roland had been

helping you and hinted that he has been using Carter Corporation's influence to pull it off. If I had to guess, he's

trying to drive a wedge between Roland and Carter Corporation. He’s trying to force Dad's hand to give Roland the

boot."

Isabel scowled.

Flint asked for confirmation, "Are you dating Roland?"

Isabel saw no point in hiding it any longer. "Yes."

They had been dating for a while.

Flint asked hesitantly, "Then... do you know that Roland has quit Carter Corporation?"

Isabel was stunned to hear this. She immediately gave Flint a call since it was easier to communicate that way.

The moment the call was connected, she heard Flint asking cautiously, "Sis, you haven’t heard about it, have you?"

Isabel asked urgently, "When did Roland quit? Why did he quit?"

When they were chatting two days ago, he mentioned something about needing to deal with overtime work.

Why did he quit out of nowhere?

Besides, even if the general public did not know that she was a Carter, the higher-ups at the corporation were

aware of it. There was nothing wrong with Roland exercising Carter Corporation's influence to help her since her

father would have done the same anyway!

There was no way that Decker’s plan to stir controversy by pointing out that Roland had been dating her would

work to this effect.

Flint tried to calm her down. "Look, chill out. I just left the lab when I found out about everything. That's why I sent

you a text to ask about it. I might be missing some key details. Could you try talking to Roland?"

"Enough, stop beating around the bush and tell me everything!’

Flint was her brother, and she knew exactly what he was like. He must be intentionally leaving out some crucial

details for fear of upsetting her. He had to be hiding something!
