    Chapter 2168


    Decker scowled the moment he heard Isabel sniggering at him. He looked like he was going to shootsers out of his eyes.


    Isabel leaned in closer toward Rnd for protection, then she cocked an eyebrow at Decker and continued taunting him.


    That was when rice spoke up, her voice filled with temper, "Isabel, this is a business ce, not a stage for third- rate actors


    like you. You have no ce here!"


    Isabel was in too much of a good mood to be provoked by her cheap taunt.


    She shed a smile at rice and returned the favor. "Who are you to tell me to leave? Why should | listen to you?"


    rice turned red with anger. "You...”


    Isabel proceeded tough tauntingly in her face.


    rice became so furious that she wanted to hurl herself at Isabel but could not because Rnd was right next to her. She


    turned to Rnd for help. "Rnd, are you just going to let her behave like that?"


    Rnd cast a nce at Isabel before remarking nonchntly, "Why, what''s wrong with what she''s doing?"


    Neither was she getting in the way of their contract signing nor was she intentionally picking on anyone. She was only


    here as a spectator, nothing more.


    rice''s voice was caught in her throat. She stewed in frustration for a while before eximing out loud, "She''s just an actress.


    She shouldn''t be here!"


    Rnd said briskly, "| wanted her toe with me. Do you have any problem with that?"


    rice was speechless.


    It was as if a cat had caught her tongue. She continued ring at the couple bitterly but could note up with anything else to


    rebuke them.


    "Speaking of which, Miss Houston, I''d suggest you stop cklisting Isabel," Rnd said with a pointed re at rice, his voice


    dropping to a low, threatening pitch. "If not, I''ll see to it that your fiance gets kicked out of Rockwell Corporation."


    rice turned pale upon hearing this.


    While Decker clenched his fists, his expression was livid and it looked like he was going to resort to violence at any moment.


    Most of the other members present were Decker’s allies while two of the older shareholders were on good terms with Rnd.


    However, they cast their affiliations aside and chose not to interfere and only spectate in silence instead.


    Atst, Rnd rose and held out a hand to Isabel. "Come, let''s go home."


    Isabel nodded curtly and linked her hands to Rnd’s. With that, the duo walked out of the roompletely unbothered by the


    way Decker and rice were ring at them. The rest of them watched as the two disappeared.


    Thewyers and assistants who came with Rnd promptly collected the signed contracts and left as well.


    With that, an oppressing wave of silence washed over the room.


    Infuriated, Decker swung a ss of water set on the table to the ground, smashing it into smithereens.


    rice took a step back in horror.


    Nobody spoke.


    After a while, it was Master Rockwell who tried to console him, "Rnd, there are still many days ahead of us."


    The other executives and shareholders chimed in as well,’ That’s right, President Decker. Even though President


    Rnd is the majority shareholder now, you still have thergest shares in the corporation next to him."


    "| believe that it''s only a matter of time before you put him into his ce and take back what''s yours. | know what


    you''re capable of."


    The two shareholders who were friends with Rnd were the sole outliers in this situation. They exchanged looks and held their


    tongues while the others began ttering and pandering to Decker.


    Decker may be an effective businessman and strategist, but Rnd was an entire stratosphere above him.


    If not for Master Rockwell setting the foundation for him in addition to the support of the Houstons, he would have never


    managed to drive Rnd out of the corporation in the past.


    Besides, things were vastly different now. Even if Rnd did not have any capable allies, he had countless resources at his


    disposal, unlike his previous self.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    It was just as Rnd said-the only way he could win out against him was in his wild fantasies.


    While they were all busy trying to suck up to Decker, Master Rockwell rose to his feet by himself with the help of his walking


    stick. He addressed Decker and rice, "Who was that girl back there who came with Rnd?"


    As Decker frowned, the sheer remembrance of seeing Isabel and Rnd holding hands together soured his mood yet again.
