Chapter 2203
"I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I'm in this
state?"
"In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.”
Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..."
Roland looked at him calmly. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They
instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I'd grow into a decent man."
Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland
continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame
Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I'll make sure to settle our
score through the legal system."
If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison.

out of this?"
"Has that thought ever crossed your mind when you did what you did to my father?!"
After his tremendous roar came utter silence. Master Rockwell was frightened and froze like a statue.
Roland threw one last glare at him. "I'm never going to let both of you off the hook."
After Isabel stepped out of the ward for a while, Decker showed up.
He was dressed in a casual shirt and regular trousers. His attire was ruffled and had stains on them, a completely
different presentation from his usual clean and dignified self. He must not have showered for days.
Isabel was taken aback by the disheveled state he was in. She carefully inched toward the bodyguard that came
with them.
The bodyguard also assumed a defensive stance, carefully eyeing the approaching Decker the entire while.
Decker stopped about two meters away from her. Upon seeing the cautioned look on Isabel's face, he made a face
and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
"You can't even if you want to anyway." Isabel mocked.
He only chuckled. "You're right."
The entire time, he did not take his eyes off her.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?"
There was an uncharacteristic look of sincerity on his face as his usual devilish charm with the cunning hidden
underneath was nowhere to be seen.
However, Isabel was in no mood to speak to him, so she shot him down crossly. "I don’t want to talk to you, stay
away from me."
Decker fell silent for several seconds, then he presented his question nonetheless. "When you were with me six
years ago, why didn't you tell me your true identity? Did you not think that I was not trustworthy and was cautious
of me trying to take advantage of your family's wealth? Was that why you hid the truth from me?"
Isabel was not interested in answering his question, but she was also slightly bothered by how he was hinting at her
being a manipulative person then.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe expressed with disgust, "Stop trying to apply your logic on me, I'm not as cunning and material driven as you
are."
Decker made a look. "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"I had a minor accident and hit my head, it caused me to lose my memory."
Back then, she came to Southboro for a short trip. She had only arrived in the city for a while when a thief stole her
wallet and ran off. While she was trying to chase the thief down, she fell and hit her head at an odd angle, which
gave her temporary amnesia. She only faintly remembered her name but completely forgot everything else about
herself.
Decker frowned and seemed skeptical. "You lost your memory?"
"Believe whatever you want."
"I believe you, I believe everything you say." He assured her with a smile.
It did sound plausible. After all, she was a very timid and gentle person back then when she knew her, a complete
contrast to her brazen and bold attitude these days.
Besides, he faintly remember her saying something about a head injury, only he was too busy plotting his takeover
of Rockwell Corporation to care about what she had to say.
