“That's enough. I can already tell you came here with this lowlife. However, you seem to be on a different level from him and I don't care how you're associated with him. But do you have any idea who I am, for you to be insulting me and my friends like that?” Lara was unable to take it anymore and questioned Rose, who turned to look at her. “Do I give off the impression that I give a damn about who you are, woman?" Rose inquired with an uninterested look on her face. Her response completely took Lara and the crowd back in surprise. She was really bold and confident! Despite the fact that she was not expensively dressed like Lara and her friends to announce that they were from wealthy families. Rose was dressed in a simple and mature attire that was expensive but not as expensive as what Lara was wearing. However, her demeanor and aura that emitted out of her was like that of a goddess and mafia queen who cared less about the information of her enemy since she was going to destroy
The Nixon family are a second tier family in the City, however, because of their new rise in status they were able to start earning more recognition than they did in the past and Lara was the second daughter and also the youngest child of the Nixon. She was extremely pampered by her family and was always given what she wanted despite the fact that she was a grown woman already. In reality the manager wouldn’t want to associate himself with someone like Lara since she was very problematic but he had to be nice to her anytime she visited their store because of her background. “Stop flattering me, Manager Cord. I’m not in the mood for that nonsense because I’m highly disappointed with the way I am treated in your car shop.” Lara arrogantly waved her hand at the manager who swallowed the rest of his words as he looked at Lara. “What happened, Miss Nixon? Did one of my staff do anything to annoy you?” he asked. “This isn’t about your staff, manager Cord, even though they were a bit s
A lot of children from rich and wealthy families have visited this place but this was the first time he would be someone as young as Rose. “Aren't you missing out on the part where I apologize to you before you start yelling at me? And like I said, you are the one who should apologize to me because you're the one at fault.” Luthor ignored the Manager's stare and replied back to what Lara said in order to defend himself. “This crazy……. Manager Cord, can you see this? This is exactly what I'm talking about, your store has been letting the high socialites get insulted by the likes of him. How dare a nobody like him talk to me like that?” Lara wanted to insult Luthor but chose to use the opportunity to make her prove her point to the manager. “I understand what you're saying, Miss Nixon. Please allow me to take care of this matter from here.” Manager Cord nodded his head before turning to look at Luthor. In this situation whether or not Lara was right or wrong he knew he had to h
The manager looked at Rose and slowly nodded his head at her. He didn't expect her to suddenly speak and her fault was really something that he couldn't resist and he wanted to hear what she had to say. “Let me ask you a simple question.” Rose said and everyone's eyes landed on her. “Please go ahead." The manager agreed. “Aren’t you about to chase us out of here because that woman made the request as a VIP client? However, isn't this a car shop that allows anyone to come in and out to purchase a car, so why are we being chased out? Is this how your car shop has earned the reputation it has now?” Rose asked as she looked directly at the manager who blinked at her questions. "What kind of question is that? Even if this place is a car shop that allows anyone to come in, did a brat like you think that someone like you and him would be able to purchase a car here? It's obvious that only people from a high class are the one that can come in here and you two have entered the wrong pl
“I refuse to leave with a tangible reason, Manager. I don't care if this is a request from your VIP client or not. I'm going to comfortably shop for what I came here for and take my leave." Rose adamantly refused, staring intently at the manager, who was taken aback by her refusal again. Without her dressing luxuriously, he was not stupid to not be able to tell that the aura that emitted from Rose right now was even more powerful than that of Lara that was just simply throwing a tantrum. “But, young lady…..” "Do you want to have the security guard drag both of you out of here?!” Lara didn't let the manager speak as she shouted at Rose, who ignored her. " Manager, that woman demanded an apology from my brother when she was the one clearly at fault. Like my brother said, I want her to apologize back to him.” Rose told the manager with her arm crossed in front of her chest. "Does this child need a beating or what? How can you expect our friend to apologize to that lowlife? What wo
“What a stupid store this place is to let their VIP client go through this kind of ridiculous scene. I thought this place would be much better than it claimed." One of Lara's friends remarked. However, the sudden outburst of Lara not wanting them to bring the footage made the other customers raise questioning brow at her. They started to wonder if she had even spoken the truth that Luthor bumped into her because there would be no need for her to be this agitated and angry when the manager said he was going to agree with Rose's request. Even they themselves were curious to know the real truth because Lara was claiming that Luthor was the one who bumped into her and Luthor said it was her that bumped into him instead. Rose's suggestion was the best way they think is the best to solve this situation and she even agrees to apologize and leave if Luthor had been the one to bump into her. “Why do I feel like that woman had just caused an unnecessary argument here in the first place?”
It could leave a huge impact on their stores reputation if he did that because some customers might find him favoring Lara too much and might start thinking if the same would be done to them if someone asked him to send them away as well. He might want to keep a good relationship with the Nixon family but he couldn't let that impact the reputation of the business. After the manager left along with Lara to calm her down and explain properly to her, Rose frowned as she stared at the back view of the manager. He wasn't as sincere as he looked and she wasn't impressed at him because she knew he was only doing things that were beneficial to him. Seeing that the entire scene had died down with the manager leaving along with Lara, the other customers who were watching started to turn their attention back to their own business. Rose also turned to look at Luthor. “Are you okay?" She asked him. “I am." Luthor nodded his head with a smile as he looked at Rose. “Why did you ask for th
“Whether or not we can afford to buy the car in that section shouldn't be something you should decide. Take us there.” Rose replied in a flat voice. She didn't want to show her anger at the poor sales attendant and tried to suppress it. However Luthor could tell that she was a bit angry with what Doris said but he chose to say nothing. “I’m sorry for that. Please follow me.” Doris apologized, also sensing the anger in Rose’s voice and took them to the section where the most expensive cars were placed. In an instant, Rose’s face brightened when they got to the section because she was able to see that there was a real difference between the cars here than the other section she had been checking. And with just one glance one can easily tell that the cars here would cost a fortune. Luthor, who was beside Rose couldn’t help but shake his head and sighed deeply in his mind when he saw the delighted expression on her face. He wouldn’t deny that he wasn’t wowed by the cars in this sec
“Yes, that's true, I've only seen Sophia around but not your oldest first daughter.” Mrs. Will interfered when she too heard Mrs. Phillip’s question. She planned to ask Beatrice because she had been looking around for Rose but couldn't find her. “Thank God, I thought I was the only one who missed seeing that cute loveable child. Where did you say she is, Beatrice?” Mrs. Phillip asked again despite knowing that Beatrice hadn't replied yet. Beatrice smiled at both Mrs. Phillip and Mrs. Will. ‘You crazy two bitches. I'm already prepared for you.’ she thought to herself. She was aware that these two women were nothing but trouble, that's why she prepared herself for them since she had no choice but to invite them to her little party. “Oh, well, my poor Rose has a fever and is staying in bed. I told her not to come outside because of the cold weather and her fever could worsen.” She calmly answered. “Oh dear, is Rose okay? Why didn't you let us know beforehand." Mrs. Phillip worriedly
Once, Rose had believed that Beatrice cared for her. She had believed in her kindness, thinking that maybe Beatrice did see her as a daughter. But now, she saw through the facade. Beatrice wasn’t protecting her. She was merely covering for her son, brushing away his actions as though they were minor inconveniences. Each word of Beatrice’s “comfort” felt like salt in a wound. Still in pain and unable to walk comfortably, Rose was confined to her bed. Though Rose's leg had healed more than she portrayed it to everyone, it was also part of her plan. During her confinement, Rose constantly talked with Nicholas and gave him directions on the things she wanted him to do with the security video she asked him to find. Although he could fairly guess what his little cousin was up to, Nicholas was still confused about how she was planning all this in her little head. Yet, despite her stepdaughter’s state, Beatrice's grand birthday party carried on as planned. The house bustled with preparatio
The next day, Rose received a call from Theresa in the morning, telling her to visit the store because of something important. Rose actually thought it was something that wouldn't take time so she lied to Beatrice who was at home that she was going to her friend's place. As expected, Beatrice didn't probe too much and let Rose leave. It was only when Rose got there did she realize that it was going to take a while for her to finish up with the meeting so she tried to rush things up. Nancy sent a text message to Rose when she was having a meeting with Theresa, in order to inform Rose that she would soon be arriving at the location of the first house on Rose's list. Nancy wanted Rose to be present personally, so that she can be able to negotiate some of the terms with the real estate agent. Rose would have loved to attend the meeting but it was impossible since her meeting with Theresa wasn't over yet. As a result, she had no other choice but to text Nancy and told her to carry on w
“That is an excellent choice. I will give the estate manager incharge of these properties a call tonight and we can meet at the location to sign the complete deal.” Nancy suggested. Rose easily agrees to Nancy's term since she found the suggestion acceptable.“That's fine by me. I'll meet you there tomorrow morning.” “Yes, but that is not the case here. I don't think it's wise for you to go out again tomorrow with how you look." She added as she looked at Rose who tilted her head to the side. There is no way she wanted Rose to walk around with that face again tomorrow. Today was a mistake because she didn't know what happened to her.“Are you worried about me, big sister? Don't because I am fine. Besides, I need to handle this before it gets late because I will be needing it soon." Rose replied, giving a reassuring smile at Nancy.“I know but I still think you should get better first, huh? You have to care about yourself more." Nancy argued, despite knowing that Rose was right. Howe
When they arrived at their destination, Rose told Luthor to wait for her while she headed to the restaurant entrance.Immediately she entered the restaurant, she sighted Nancy sitting at one of the tables by the window so she made her way there while trying to control herself from limping too much.“I'm sorry for making you wait for me, sister Nancy." Rose said as she stood in front of the table.“Oh dear, Rose what happened to your face?” Nancy looked up when she heard Rose's voice ready to greet her with a smile but she was shocked when she saw Rose.Rose gave Nancy a smile before taking her seat in front of her. “It's nothing serious, I just got into a little accident but I'm healing now." She replied.“You should have told me about this, I wouldn't have accepted us to meet today. Are you sure you're okay coming out like this?" Nancy worriedly asked. “I am, don't worry about me." Rose nodded her head at Nancy but it wasn't enough to make the woman stop worrying about her. She was
………..The next day, Rose was unable to go to school because of injuries. After everyone had left the mansion, Rose picked up her phone and called Luthor to get the car ready for her.Well, the Gray family thought she would be unable to go out but that wasn't true, she had got appointments with Nancy who was already waiting for her at the restaurant they were supposed to meet.A few minutes later, Rose stepped out of her building fully dressed in all black clothes and backpack. Luthor, who was already waiting for her, stepped out of the driver seat and opened the back seat door for her.“Are you sure you should be going out in that condition?" Luthor asked as he drove out of the mansion. Earlier he had watched Rose limp into the car when he hadn't taken his eyes off her. Even as she sat in the car pressing her cellphone his gaze constantly fell on her bruised face and leg.Rose looked up from her phone and glanced at the driver seat. “Yes. It's important. And I told you not to have th
Beatrice was caught off guard when she heard Rose. How was she supposed to reply to that?Seeing her mother in a difficult situation to come up with something to say, Sophia tugged Rose's hand. “Sister, don't think like that. Ever since you left and mom found out that Victor chased you out, mom scolded him really really badly on your behalf." As a sweet-talker, Sophia expected her tricks to work on Roes who smiled at her and pretended like she never did anything earlier. It almost looked like she was a robot that was being rubbotted.Ah, yes. But it seems like my scolding isn't enough for him. I will make sure to seek punishment for him from your father when he comes back. My darling, I'm sorry for coming so late." Beatrice took the opportunity crested by her daughter and came up with something quickly.Rose smiled upon seeing how mother and daughter keep trying to come up with an excuse to cover for each other. Not wanting to drag on seeing their faces, Rose lied that she wanted to
Rose, who was busy taking her nap, frowned when she felt the presence in her room. ‘I should have locked that door earlier.’“Sister, wake up. It's me, Sophia." Sophia persistently shook Rose's body, making her groan in pain at how tight Sophia's grip was.“It hurts, Sophia.” Rose mumbled as she gently pushed Sophia's hand away and sat up on the bed." Oh, I'm sorry. Mother and I were just so excited and happy when we heard that you're back." Sophia quickly apologized as she sat beside Rose on the bed."Roseline, dear. Why did you do that? Do you have any idea how worried I was when I heard that you left the mansion? Your father got angry at me because of that.” Beatrice suddenly ranted as she looked at Rose with a fake worried expression on her face.“Mother, I didn't leave just like that. I had no choice but to listen to Victor when he chased me out because I didn't want him to get more angry with me." Rose replied as she looked up at Beatrice. Honestly, she wasn't really in the moo
Just as she was about to go inside, the gates opened and another car which belonged to Beatrice drove in as well, making Sophia pause.“Sophia, what are you doing outside still dressed like that?"Beatrice questioned as she stepped out of the car along with Victor. She had a scowl on her face when she saw her daughter still dressed the same way she had dressed when she left this morning.“I just got back home now." Sophia casually replied to her mother. “And before you scold me, I went out with my friends after school so I was late because of that." She quickly added, knowing what her mother might say next.“Mom, stop looking at Sophia like that. She is old enough to hang out with her friends, isn't she?” Victor suddenly Interjected while winking at his sister who smiled at him for his help.“I know, I just want you to be careful sometimes." As expected, Beatrice couldn't win against her children and softened her gaze at Sophia.“Mommy, did you get that picture of the dress I sent to y
