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 entuated her figure before sitting by the window to wait for Rnd to


    visit.


    The thought of the though slightly juvenile, yet sweet and innocent surprise that Rnd prepared for herst week made her


    smile. She wondered if he would prepare something simr 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 Rnd''s car pulling up at the junction.


    What was with dy? Where was he?


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


    Thest 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 disy. He had sent her a short text, "Hey, sis, |


    heard Rnd 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 Rnd''s true identity were her, Decker, and rice. How did Flint


    know about this?


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


    Flint replied, "| was just leaving theb 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


    Rnd''s uncle who broke the news to everyone when he was invited to apany dinner our corporation hosted."


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


    Flint replied, "Well, | 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 Rnd dating a celebrity, which he revealed was you. |


    don’t think Decker knows that you''re a Carter. He only talked about how much Rnd had been helping you and hinted that he


    has been using Carter Corporation''s influence to pull it off. If | had to guess, he''s trying to drive a wedge between Rnd and


    Carter Corporation. He’s trying to force Dad''s hand to give Rnd the boot."


    Isabel scowled.


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


    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 Rnd has quit Carter Corporation?"


    Isabel was stunned to hear this. She immediately gave Flint a call since it was easier tomunicate 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 Rnd 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 Rnd exercising Carter Corporation''s influence to help her since her father would have done the same


    anyway!


    There was no way that Decker’s n to stir controversy by pointing out that Rnd had been dating her would work to this

    Flint tried to calm her down. "Look, chill out. | just left theb when | found out about everything. That''s why | sent you a text to


    ask about it. | might be missing some key details. Could you try talking to Rnd?"


    “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!
