Chapter 2189


    Rnd 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, Rnd took Isabel’s hand and walked in.


    The staff guarding the entrance of the venue most likely knew from the Inte that Isabel and Rnd were together. When they


    saw her and Rnding, they did not ask her for an invitation and simply stepped to the side, letting them go straight in.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    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.


    When Rnd and she came in, those people stopped talking and looked at them. Their eyes were filled with mockery and


    ridicule.


    No one came forward to greet them.


    Only rice 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 Rnd 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 Rnd being ostracized by him


    and the others?


    rice also smiled gracefully, but her smile was obviously mocking.


    She nced coldly at Isabel and said to Rnd, "Rnd, | 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, Rnd should not have appeared on this kind of asion 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.


    rice wondered just what Isabel had done to make Rnd so devoted to her.


    Rnd''s expression cooled.


    Before he could speak, Isabel asked rice, "Wasn''t it you who sent me a text telling me to get him to bring me here? What are


    you saying now?"


    rice''s eyes shed 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 Rnd! Was she not


    afraid that Rnd would see that she was a woman who would cling to him regardless of how it affected him?


    rice was furious and yelled, "Isabel, you have no right to speak in a ce 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 rice, and said to Rnd," Rnd, Dad and the other rtives and elders are over there. Go


    bring her to greet them."


    Then, he gave Isabel a deep look and left with rice.


    Rnd 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.


    Rnd did not take her to meet the elders, rtives, and friends of the Rockwells, most likely to protect her. He only held her


    hand and walked past the elders and rtives who were waiting for his greeting, and went straight to the area where the


    refreshments were ced.


    Isabel was hungry, so she picked up a slice of toast and ate it.


    Rnd stood beside her and gave her a ss of juice when she choked slightly on the food.
