Chapter 2153
Roland informed plainly, "These few projects I mentioned need a very large amount of upfront investment."
"Of course, we know that. We don't need you to tell us that."
"What kind of project doesn't need a large sum of upfront investment anyway?"
"The funds for these projects have been pre-allocated since the start of the year. You don't have to come up with a
measly excuse to justify your intentionally picking on us!"
All three of Jimmy, Charles, and Lester glared at Roland discontentedly.
The others joined in and threw snide remarks at Roland, "Mr. Roland, you’re only worried because you don't want us
to spend all the company funds that you hoped would go into your pockets instead, aren't you?”
"The funds allocated to our projects are all in the public account. They won’t go into his pockets no matter what."
Roland frowned. He decided there was no need for him to explain himself. He promptly shut his notebook and
tucked away the pen, then he got up and walked out of the conference room.
After he left, a dull silence fell upon the conference room.
The three executives Jimmy, Charles, and Lester were all fuming. They jabbed their fingers at the door, where

think he is? Even if he doesn't respect us, he should at least have the decency to tell President Decker that he's
leaving!"
"Hmph, he thinks he's the rightful master of the Rockwells.
What audacity."
Decker listened to them hurling blatant insults at Roland and smirked smugly. He motioned at them and tried to get
them to calm down while remarking, "He’s always had something against me. You guys don't have to worry about
him. Just let him be."
This seemed to appease them, even if just slightly.
Executive Lester promptly asked, "President Decker, when should we commence the projects we just mentioned?"
Decker assured him, "We can launch them once we have finalized the funds needed."
Decker was a part of the reason that Rockwell Corporation was able to attract clientele to work on these major
projects and developments. Once these projects were completed, they would bring a respectable amount of
revenue to the corporation.
This was especially crucial because, in the short two months since Roland's return to the corporation, he had
contributed significantly by closing several major deals. There was now an urgency for Decker to prove himself
before he got upstaged by Roland.
Lester was pleased to hear this. "Alright, we'll be leaving for now. I'll make sure to bring you the good news once we
have further developments.'
Decker nodded and was about to send them off when he suddenly thought of something. He motioned after them,"
Wait. Lester, Charles, Jimmy, I need to talk to the three of you."
Everyone else in the conference room took the hint and cleared the room without needing to be asked to, leaving
behind the trio that looked at Decker expectantly.
"President Decker, is there anything else you need from us?"
Decker asked furtively, "I heard you guys mention something about seeing Roland with his girlfriend yesterday. Is
that true?"
"Of course, it's true. We saw it with our own eyes."
"Yeah, we were heading down for dinner when we saw him with a woman with the best figure I've ever seen. We
tried to get a closer look to see what his girlfriend looked like, but he wouldn't let us."
'Yeah, he got upset and began to threaten us, saying that we had a minute to disappear from his sight. If it wasn't

Decker patiently listened to them narrate their accounts. After they were finished, something shifted in his eyes, he
asked warily, "So, you guys didn't see his girlfriend, did you?"
"No, none of us managed to get a proper look at her face."
Decker asked cautiously, "Do you at least have a faint impression of what she looked like?"
"I remember her long hair draped down her back and how fair her skin was. She had an hourglass figure too and
wore a simple dress over it. I can tell just by her entire aura that she must be a beauty."
"President Roland wouldn't even let us steal a peek at her, but I'm sure she's a beauty alright."
'Yeah, it's a pity we couldn't see her face."
They had an entirely perverted attitude about it and seemed to regret not getting a chance to see Roland's partner.
Decker’s expression darkened briefly before he waved them off. "Alright, you guys can get back to it now."
With that, they promptly left the conference room.
Decker's expression was grave. He remembered that Isabel had come to see him yesterday morning, but it was
Roland who ended up taking her away.
The woman they were describing had to be Isabel!
Why would she dine with Roland in the middle of the night? Did they get back together already?
Wasn't it her who insisted that they would never get back together?
