Isabel felt her emotions stirring inside her. After a brief pause, she remarked, "I see. I was just asking out of curiosity. I didn’t mean anything else by it.”

Roland seemed relieved to hear this and stated, “Be sure to let me know if there’s anything else you’re curious about. I’ll tell you everything.”

Isabel smiled upon hearing this. “Got it.”

She was not going to torture herself with needless suspicions.

Roland smiled warmly when he noticed her smile. He promptly segued to his primary concern, “Speaking of which, aren’t you going back to Westchester this weekend?"

“Yeah, why?"

"Can I go with you?”

"Sure." Upon giving her reply, Isabel suddenly realized something and was a strange look at him. There was a clear sparkle in his eyes.

She suddenly recalled his reason for coming to Southboro in the first place.

He had returned to Southboro to reclaim Rockwell Corporation, thus fulfilling the promise he had made to Isabel’s father.

Now that he had essentially taken Rockwell Corporation back, he was going to return to Westchester to make good on his promise to Odell.
