Chapter 2189
Roland did not say anything.
Soon, the car stopped at the hotel entrance.
The bellboy at the entrance came forward to open the car door forthem.
After getting out of the car, Roland took Isabel’s hand and walked in.
The staff guarding the entrance of the venue most likely knew from the Internet that Isabel and Roland were
together. When they saw her and Roland coming, they did not ask her for an invitation and simply stepped to the
side, letting them go straight in.
Many people had already arrived at the venue at that point.
Isabel had only met Master Rockwell, Decker, Isabel, and a few other familiar-looking senior shareholders of
Rockwell Corporation. She did not know anyone else.

mockery and ridicule.
No one came forward to greet them.
Only Clarice came up while holding Decker's arm.
Decker smiled and looked at Isabel. His eyes were slightly mocking as he sized her up.
He never thought that Isabel would really make Roland bring her here. Was she that eager to be approved by the
Rockwells? Did she want to let everyone know that the Rockwells acknowledged her, even at the expense of Roland
being ostracized by him and the others?
Clarice also smiled gracefully, but her smile was obviously mocking.
She glanced coldly at Isabel and said to Roland, "Roland, I didn't expect you to really bring her here. Aren't you
afraid of being criticized by others?
Almost everyone present was friends and family of the Rockwells and relied on them for a living.
Rockwell Corporation’s stock prices had been unstable these days because of the talk about Isabel. Anyone with
ambition would have broken up already, but even if they did not, Roland should not have appeared on this kind of
occasion with Isabel in such a grand manner.
That was just making those people who were not fond of him happy, as well as disappointing those who were
optimistic about him.
Clarice wondered just what Isabel had done to make Roland so devoted to her.
Roland's expression cooled.
Before he could speak, Isabel asked Clarice, "Wasn't it you who sent me a text telling me to get him to bring me
here? What are you saying now?''
Clarice's eyes flashed as her face paled.
Even a fool would know that the text was something she sent privately, but Isabel actually said it in front of Roland!
Was she not afraid that Roland would see that she was a woman who would cling to him regardless of how it

Clarice was furious and yelled, "Isabel, you have no right to speak in a place like this!"
Isabel raised her brows. "I'm going to speak either way. What are you going to do about it?"
"You!"
"Heh." Decker chuckled, tugged Clarice, and said to Roland," Roland, Dad and the other relatives and elders are
over there. Go bring her to greet them."
Then, he gave Isabel a deep look and left with Clarice.
Roland held Isabel’s hand and slowly went to the venue. His cold gaze swept over those who looked at Isabel with
unpleasant eyes, and he whispered, "Isabel, they won't dare to do anything to you with me around."
Isabel smiled and hummed. She was not afraid of them doing anything to her anyway.
Roland did not take her to meet the elders, relatives, and friends of the Rockwells, most likely to protect her. He
only held her hand and walked past the elders and relatives who were waiting for his greeting, and went straight to
the area where the refreshments were placed.
Isabel was hungry, so she picked up a slice of toast and ate it.
Roland stood beside her and gave her a glass of juice when she choked slightly on the food.
