Behind her, Grayson was stunned for a few seconds.He was speechless as he already knew that her name was "Rose". What he wanted to know was her full name. Why was she so adorable? This woman was smart, she knew how to trick people!She was not only beautiful but also mysterious and cheerful.Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, Grayson started admiring her more and more. As soon as he lifted his foot, his cell phone rang. He then headed to a quiet place to take the call.*****When Rose got back to her car, her anger had finally eased a little.Looking at the two cute plush toys that were sitting in the back seat, something came to her mind. Rose picked up her phone and dialled a number."Eliana, are you free? Let's hang out and have afternoon tea!"After deciding the time and location, Rose started driving there.As she didn't have lunch yet and she had been standing for the whole morning, Rose chose a window seat and ordered a plate of noodles as soon as she reached the
“In the past, if someone ruined your reputation, you would have certainly fought back!”Recalling the past, Eliana’s mind was still stuck at the same time when Rose cared about herself. To Eliana, Rose was a perfect princess in a fairy tale. She loved herself a lot and always make sure that everything she did was perfect.“Yes, I used to care a lot about it.”She didn’t like people judging her as if she was a promiscuous girl. She hated the others who would regard her as a player, an ill-tempered girl, and someone who could never become a good wife based on her appearance.All because she longed for love, so very deeply. She wanted perfect love but yet she wanted to hold on to her self-esteem as well.With a faint smile, Rose poured some water for Eliana.“People change. Now, there are some things that I finally understand. If I always want to prove myself based on others' words, just imagine how tired my life would be. Those who believe in me wouldn’t need my clarification, and those
She picked up a small piece of cake with a tiny fork and took a bite. Yes! How could she let her love for Kevin overwhelm her so much?Was it really as Eliana had said, that she felt this way just because she had worked too hard? So much that she needed a strong shoulder to lean on at any time?Was it merely because she had been confused?In an instant, Rose felt that she knew less about this man than she had about James.She had known James for three years and yet he still hurt in the end. How long had she only known Kevin?After thinking about it, Rose felt that Eliana's words were very reasonable. Maybe every woman's first was valuable to them after all.After venting her anger for an entire day, at this moment, Rose had finally calmed down."Rose, your scars will not be healed if you keep disturbing them. They will only get worse. Why don't we go to the alumni gathering? We have not done anything bad and have a clear conscience, what are we afraid of? There are some things that yo
Eliana picked up a piece of fried shrimp with her fork and handed it to Rose as if she didn’t hear anything. “This is your favourite shrimp ball with caviar. Eat it quickly, or else it won’t be crispy anymore when it gets cold.”As she said this, Eliana put one in her mouth as well.Initially, Eliana expected Nancy to just leave after that. She never expected that she would be so cheeky.“Why did you eat this kind of greasy food? They were all high in cholesterol and fat, how unhealthy!”Eliana almost choked herself to death. She was irritated to the point that she wanted to scream. Nancy was such a b*tch! If they weren’t here to eat, what were they here for?Similarly, Rose was ignoring Nancy too as she poured water for Eliana.“Look at you gobbling! Take your time, no one will snatch it from you. Come on, drink some water. No wonder it’s one of the greatest Western seafood dishes. This caviar is so delicious and different from the others!”The two of them knew what was going on in e
This made them stop in their tracks. They exchanged gazes before Eliana took her arm and nodded. Composing themselves, both of them held their head high and their chest lifted as they entered.“I didn’t expect her to be here. I heard that James is coming today with Nancy! How embarrassing would it be if they meet each other?”“I heard that Nancy is pregnant! Is it true that the two of them are going to get engaged?”“She said it herself, how can it be false? The pair must be together today. This is a five-star hotel, how shameless is she to come in such a bad state!”“Don’t say, maybe she already has some old man to pay for her. After all, with such a face and body, it’s not difficult to find one, right?”…...The crowd was talking amongst themselves. Eliana took the initiative and spoke out, “What is there to be embarrassed about coming here? Space University does not only accept noble students or the rich. Even if she is not in a good condition now, she was still your classmate.”Sh
Kevin looked up and frowned slightly. There were only hotels and restaurants around. What was she doing there so late at night?Seeing how frugal she was, she wouldn’t have come here alone to eat, right? Kevin wondered.These days, he was feeling lost and extremely annoyed. He had been suppressing his desire to go home and didn’t dare to contact her. At this moment, when he suddenly saw her car, he could not hold back his frustration.Was this woman here to work and earn an extra income again?At the thought of her coming to such a place at night, he started getting annoyed. In an instant, the anger in his heart rose.He took out his phone, then he turned around inadvertently. An advertising sign came into view. It was a banner with several words on it which read, “Space University Alumni Gathering."These words sounded familiar. It suddenly occurred to him that Rose seemed to have graduated from this university.Alumni gathering?Could it be that she was here to attend the reunion?A
Kevin’s expression darkened as he gritted his teeth. What were they talking about? Why didn’t he know about it all?At this time, the two women slowed down as they tried to recall something.“Now that you have said it, I seem to have seen it before… James’s tattoo is on his chest, right? As for Rose, does she have the same too? Will it be that it’s on her chest too?”“I am not sure about that. However, I have seen their profile pictures before and it seems like both of their pictures were butterflies: red and blue. It represents a man and a woman. They are in pairs! Butterflies must have a special meaning to them! However, I think Nancy is clueless about it!””She is a rebound… Look at the way she dresses up, every part of her looks like how Rose used to do. But, look at Rose now! She is much more elegant and classy than before! I feel like Nancy is trying hard to be after Rose’s a*s but she will never catch up with her.”“Rose is not bad. Although she was a little arrogant in the pas
As if James had returned to the past, he couldn’t help muttering to himself, “Our favourite butterflies, our love pledge, and our agreement! You have never forgotten about me, have you?”Instinctively, Rose took a step back and avoided his hand. When she was about to deny it, she saw a tall figure appear before her as she lifted her head.Suddenly, Rose was stunned and her mind went blank. She opened her mouth in surprise and blinked her eyes in disbelief.Kevin?Tears were welling up in James’s eyes. As his back was facing the other way, he did not see the person behind him. He was so agitated that he stepped forward and hugged her tightly. His eyes were red too.“Rose!”James held her tightly as he couldn’t control his feelings. Then, he kissed her forehead unconsciously.Rose, who was struggling, was so scared that she completely forget how to react. After being stunned momentarily, she pushed him away with all of her strength.“Let me go!”Her gaze fell behind James. In a blink of
Just like that one month had passed. In this one month, Kevin had worked non-stop. The next month he and Rose were getting married. Before their marriage, Kevin had decided to finish all his two months of work, because he had promised Rose that he would take her on vacation.In the Star International CEO’s office…Kevin sat behind on his chair and was busy looking at the documents in his hand and when Daniel knocked on the door and came inside…Daniel walked to the coffee machine made two cups of coffee and gave one to Kevin. Then he sat on the opposite chair.Kevin finished reading the file in his hand, signed his name, and put it down. He picked up the cup of coffee and asked…“How are the things I asked you to do?” Kevin took a sip of the coffee and asked.“I have dealt with everything as you said. The Follen Group all shares fell after the news of Mr. Follen being involved in money laundering and Tax evasion came to the light. After the investigation, Mr. Follen was sent to jail a
Just like that, with the help of that man, she shot that video.After hearing everything, Rose's eyes widened in shock. Because in the video lights were dim she wasn’t able to see clearly. What’s more men’s eyes were closed and because of the panic in her heart, she didn’t think too much and came here…“Since I have told you everything, I hope you can rest in peace after your death,” Lucy said as she stood up from her chair and was about to go out.However, she stopped and looked back at her. “Oops, I forget to tell you something very important. You are not going to die hare alone, so don’t be sad. Because your husband will also be going to accompany you.”“What do you mean?” She asked.“It’s like, in another ten minutes Kevin will be here to save you. However, as long as he opened the door, the bomb under your chair will be activated and BOOM!”“Okay, now I am get going, because your husband will be here soon.” After Lucy finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left.Before leav
The man in the photo was the person who had drugged Rose's father. Kevin had been looking for this man for a long time, however before he could catch him he had already left the C city.That’s why it takes so much time for him to find him. However, after finding out about the person behind all this, he was very disappointed. He had some idea, but after finding out that the person was Scarlett, he felt a little sad in his heart.After all, they have so many good memories together and even if they are no longer with each other, he still hopes that both of them can live their lives happily.“Scarlett, I had given you so many chances in the past, because I always respected our friendship… However, this time you had hurt the person who was very important to me… I will never forgive you…” Kevin said calmly.Kevin knows that for Rose her parents are very important in her life. All these years she had worked so hard to save her father. This time if something happened to her father, he can’t e
Kevin looked at Rose who was eating happily and asked, “I can understand everything, but I can’t understand one thing.”“What is it?” Rose asked.“How did I still able to win the bid?” He asked.“Oh, that… Because, I gave them a USB drive with filled with virus. As long as they opened it, all the data inside was destroyed.”Rose said. However, she was only able to do all this, with the help of Stella. Rose was very grateful to her. If she didn’t help her, she didn’t know whom to ask. It was also the reason, Rose sent her parents abroad, because she was afraid that once, that person found out that she had given him a USB filled with a virus, he would attack her parents again.Kevin nodded. After the both of them, finished eating, Rose washed the dishes and looked at Kevin who was still sitting on the sofa. “Why are you not leaving?” She asked.“I am not going anywhere. Because there is also another reason why I came here today.” Kevin said.“What other reason?” Rose asked, as she walke
After he finished speaking, he went inside. Kevin put the things in his hand on the table and looked at Rose, who was also walking over after closing the door.Kevin went forward and hugged her tightly. He buried his head in her shoulder and said, “I miss you so much.”Rose smiled and patted on his back. “Let me go, I am very hungry. Let’s eat something first.” She said.The person she asked to deliver food was none other than, but Kevin. Kevin nodded and let her go. After that, both of them, sat down to eat. Looking at her favorite food, Rose smiled and started to eat happily.As she was eating, she thought something and asked, “How are the things going on? Do you find the person behind all this?”Kevin looked up at her and said, “"Yes that man is Sebastain Davis, who installed that motoring device in your phone.""Sebastain Davis?" Hearing this name, Rose finally understands everything... "So it was him who did this. No wonder I didn't find out anything.""Don't worry, it will not l
Looking at the group of people who were condemning and glaring at her, Rose suddenly understood.It turned out that this was the real purpose of this trap! To let Kevin and even the whole Davis family witness her betrayal of him with their own eyes. It was to turn her family against her and completely break the relationship between the two!As her eyes fell on Scarlett and the middle-aged man, Rose concluded. "What a coincidence! This matter must have something to do with her!" Rose thought to herself.When she was still sorting out her thoughts, Lucy had already rushed over in anger. She looked at the computer for a few seconds, then she shouted."I saw you entering the hotel with a man sneakily. I thought that you were having an affair. It turned out that you had stolen something. Has the Davis family done you any wrong? You actually stole Star International's trade secrets in exchange for fifty million dollars? What is this? The bidding proposal for the west city!"She kept yelling
By the time Kevin came back, it was almost midnight, but Rose was still on the sofa. As soon as she saw him, she got up and ran up to him."Hubby, is dad alright? Is there anything wrong?"Rose took his coat and hung it up. She also took a set of clothes for him to change into and said, "You must be tired! Are you hungry? Let me make you supper. Go and take a shower first!"Seeing that he had returned, everything should be fine now. Just when Rose was about to move, Kevin held her waist."It's fine, I'm not hungry! Dad's fine now. We don't know what he ate that suddenly shot up his blood pressure, but he's stable now. It's already so late, why haven't you slept? Is there anything urgent that I need to know?""No! It's good that he's fine! I just wanted to wait for you to come back. I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't know what's going on! As for my matter, let's talk about it next time. Quick, go take a shower and rest!"Pushing him into the bathroom, Rose quickly tidied up the bed an
"Then don't let him enter the third round!"He threw the list aside and said in a low voice, "Let's see how he can stir up trouble if he can't enter! By the way, do you think... there is anything wrong with the bidding in Western City this time?"“Okay.” Daniel said and was about to leave… However, he stopped and said…"Don't forget that you've made an appointment with Director Sander for dinner at Sky Water Hotel this evening!" Daniel reminded him when he saw that he was very disturbed and left!Kevin sat there for a while, moving away.****That evening, Rose went to Sky Water Hotel as instructed. In the room, she saw the so-called bidding document, it was a USB drive. The staff said that the room was booked online, but the customer was anonymous, so Rose didn't ask for more details. Although this person prepared everything so meticulously and carefully, even if she found out who put it there, the person must be someone insignificant!At that moment, Rose was not in a hurry to find
Rose accompanied her dad the whole way, and only turned her attention to Grayson when she went back to the office. Grayson gave her a cup of water."Don't worry, the results need some time to be released! Now, tell me, what is going on?" He asked."I'm not hiding anything. It is exactly as what I have told you! I don't know what is going on either..."Rose felt helpless, and her anxiety was obvious. Except for the part where she needed the proposal to exchange for the cure, she confessed everything.While they were speaking, a nurse sent in the reports to them.After closing the door, Rose asked anxiously, "How is it? What exactly is the issue?""From the films and the results, so far everything is normal! However, something... unknown is found in his bloodstream!"Because it was listed as a private and confidential matter, this report was not saved. It was specially labelled and the doctors filled in the report according to what he had given."Something unknown?" Rose muttered, her v
