Chapter 2079

"Heh." Clarice scoffed, "I expected Decker to have better taste than this."

Decker?

Decker?!

Could this mean that this Miss Houston was...

Isabella suddenly recalled Isabel's mention of there being a certain fiancee of Deckers. So, this was the Miss Houston that hailed from Southboro?

Isabella looked at Clarice evasively and explained vainly," Miss Houston, you must have been mistaken. Nothing has ever happened between me and Mr. Rockwell. A lot of people claim that he has something going on with me, but that's not the case at all.”

"Oh? How so? Why would you say that's not the case?"

"It may seem like that on the surface, but he never had the slightest bit of interest in me all along. I swear to you that nothing has happened between me and him since we've known each other!" she said with an earnest look in her eyes.

She was telling the truth. Decker had barely touched her despite her best attempts of getting into bed with him.

The look in Clarice's eyes sharpened. "If he doesn't care for you, why has he been financing you?" "He's had his eyes on Isabel Ross since the very beginning. She's the reason he even bothered to come to Westchester. The problem is Isabel did not reciprocate his feelings and turned him down. "After that, he approached me and helped me take away Isabel's resources, but I wasn't expecting Isabel to have someone even more powerful backing her. It did not take long before she reclaimed everything I managed to take from her.

"Speaking of which, I think Mr. Rockwell invested in that show Isabel is filming right now. I am sure he has feelings for Isabel because he just showed me a lot of attitude after he found out about what I did to Isabel.”

Till now, Isabella could not figure out why Roland even approached her if he had his eyes on Isabel since the beginning. One way or another, she was sure that he had been gunning for Isabel the entire time.

Clarice asked with a frown, "Isabel Ross?"

Isabella clarified, "She's a very popular actress.”

Clarice ordered, "Show me her picture.”

Isabella hurriedly reached for her phone and searched for Isabel's picture online. Upon entering Isabel's name in the query, her picture was the first to pop up on the display. She handed the phone to Clarice.

The moment Clarice recognized Isabel's face, her heart dropped.

So, it was her!

It was the same woman who had barged into her engagement ceremony with Decker five years ago and later got thrown out of the venue!

She remembered how she saw the same woman showing up online after that, and that was how she found out that this woman had become a celebrity.

She did not think much of it at the time because she assumed that Decker had cut off all ties with this woman.

Who would have thought that after five years, Decker would make the lengthy trip to Westchester to find her again?

It had been five years! She knew that Decker had been seeing countless other women in this span, but why was it this particular woman that he remained obsessed with?

Her eyes glowed with spite as she turned to Isabella. "Are you sure this is the woman that Decker is into?"

Isabella swore adamantly, "Absolutely certain. May God strike me down if I lie to you.”

Clarice scoffed, then she walked past Isabella and was gone in the blink of an eye.

Isabella heaved a long, exhausted sigh when Clarice was out of sight. After she regained her composure, she had a wide smirk on her face because she was celebrating

Isabel's eventual demise.

“Isabel, oh Isabel, it doesn't matter how well-connected you are, there isn't a chance you'd be a match for the Houstons.'

She was feeling very irritable when she first came in here, but now she felt nothing but relief. She had a sense that Isabel's lucky streak was coming to an end.

In the Manchester hotel where the crew for "Legend of the Goddess" was staying the night, after Isabel greeted the director and her fellow actors, she went up to her room and began revising the script.

She made sure to memorize all the script for her scenes tomorrow, and after she was done, she checked the time on her phone.

It was only slightly past evening, and she wondered if Roland was still busy at work.

She texted him a short message, "Are you still working?"

Roland replied shortly after, "I have a meeting coming up. I'll call you after I'm done.”

Isabel smiled and replied, "Sure."
