Roland smiled warmly. "Sure."
He carried her and strode toward their bed.
In Westchester, after the call with Jerome, Isabella went to the lobby on the first floor of Westchester Hotel.
She went to the lounge area of the lobby.
There were not many people in the lounge at this hour.
She had arrived at the hotel at roughly ten that night, and it was already one in the morning by this point. She had
been waiting for Clarice for three whole hours, yet there was no sign of her at all.
Her butt was already sore from sitting and waiting for so long. She began to feel like Clarice was intentionally
keeping her waiting, but she knew better than to text Clarice to ask for her whereabouts. Her only choice was to
wait with constant agitation.
Finally, when it was around half past one, Clarice stepped through the entrance of the hotel at last.
Isabella hurriedly approached her while putting on her best smile. She greeted Clarice in a friendly voice as if she

"Hey, Miss Houston."
Clarice barely looked in her direction before she planted herself on the nearest chair.
Isabella was too nervous to sit with Clarice, so she stood stiffly like an attendant and asked courteously, "Do you
want something to drink?"
There was a drink station at the edge of the lounge.
Clarice completely ignored her. After sitting down, she neatly tucked at the collar of her shirt before asking quite
sharply, "Isabella, are you trying to mess with me right now?"
Isabella was thrown off by this, "Has there been some kind of misunderstanding? When have I ever messed with
you?"
Clarice glared at her viciously. "The video you sent me was edited."
"Miss Houston, I admit I did cut out some parts, but that was because those were the irrelevant parts of Isabel
talking to other people. I only included the important parts of her being in the same frame with Mr. Rockwell."
She was reciting the responses she had thought out ahead of time after receiving the tip from Jerome.
This was what gave her the courage to confront Clarice's sharp stare into her eyes, all while wearing an honest,
sincere expression on her face.
Clarice narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Did you cut those parts out intentionally?"
"Of course not."
"What did the parts you left out contain?"
"It was her with another man. I heard from a friend of mine who works on the 'Legend of Goddess' film crew that
that man is Isabel's boyfriend.’
Clarice's expression sharpened again. "You knew that Isabel has a boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"Then, why didn't you tell me right away?" If she had known about this, she would not have been humiliated by that
vulgar woman, Isabel!
Isabella explained frantically, "Miss Houston, please don't get the wrong idea. It's common for some of us actors to
keep our dating life private so that it won't affect our relationship with our external benefactors."
Clarice seemed to process this information for a moment before interrogating her with further questions, "So,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou're saying that Decker has been Isabel's benefactor this entire time?"
Considering how Isabel had properly clarified the situation with Clarice, Isabella knew better than to slander Isabel
unnecessarily. She opted for an objective approach. "I don’t know the nature of their relationship. All I know is that
Mr. Rockwell seems to have taken a liking to Isabel. He's one of the investors of'Legend of the Goddess'."
Clarice remarked crossly, "Are you telling me that Decker has been pursuing Isabel but his feelings are not
reciprocated by her?"
Isabella hurriedly clarified, "No, no, I never said that. I honestly don’t know a thing about the specific nature of their
relationship."
Clarice grunted.
Another thought came to her, and she asked, "Do you still have the part of the video that you left out?"
She wanted to see for herself what this boyfriend of Isabel’s looked like. What kind of person was her boyfriend to
lend her the confidence to outright declare that Decker was garbage as far as she was concerned?
"I do."
She reached for her phone as she said this and promptly showed Clarice the referred footage of Isabel with Roland.
Clarice only had to take one glance at the footage before gasping in stark surprise. "Roland!"
Isabella was just as startled by her immediate recognition of the man in the frame. She asked curiously, "Do you
know her boyfriend?"
