“Rose, it would not be an easy and a hard task to do. However, I don't think I can provide you with that knowledge of doing that. The only thing I can help you with is to contact my superior in this matter." Nancy replied. She might have her own connections but she had never done something like this before. Plus, the case between Skyline Construction and Hoult family would require more than the connections she possesses. “Are you talking about Grandpa Reyes?” Rose asked and Nancy nodded her head in response. "Yes. Mr. Reyes had quite a lot of connections for this kind of thing. And if you want to retake this case back, you would need a lawyer that is very good and his job and Mr. Reyes might be of help for you.” Nancy said. “I can help you contact him and also give you his contact details if you want.” She added. "That would be great. Anyways, it's not like we are in a hurry that much since I still want to gather more information about Skyline Construction. Which reminds me, there
“One more thing. If it wouldn't be too much of a task for you, I would also like you to help me get a list of houses that are available to buy in the city. I would like a place that is very quiet and far away from the hassle of the city. Though it's not like it's an urgent issue, please make the list for me.” Rose told Nancy, who was a bit confused at her. Well, she planned to move out of the Gray mansion soon because staying there under the gaze of Beatrice and William would hinder some of her plans. But she only planned to after she was satisfied with the condition the family would be in by then. "Ok-okay, I will get it done for you as well.” Nancy answered. “Alright, that would be all really for now. I have nothing else to say.” Rose nodded her head, satisfied with what she had said to Nancy. "You're leaving already, I was thinking we're going to have lunch together?" Nancy asked in surprise when she saw Rose standing up from her seat and was about to leave. Even Luthor had yet
Rose removed the phone from her ear while she used her pinky finger to scratch her ear with a calm expression on her face. “Father, what is the cause of why you just shouted at me? Did something happen because you nearly gave me a heart attack?” She finally asked after placing the phone back to her ear. Of course, she wasn't even flustered when she heard his voice not to talk of having a heart attack. " What do you mean by heart attack? I'm one who is on the brink of having a heart problem, not you.” William replied back angrily. “Alright, if that is the case, please make sure you contact the doctor and make an appointment. We can't have you having a heart problem because it would be a hassle to deal with. You can even ask the doctor to prepare a private ward room exclusively for you in case it’s for an emergency.” Rose dryly replied, which took both Luthor, who was driving and William himself aback in surprise. Never would he have expected such a dry response from Rose. There wa
However, the second car she picked was what made him lose his mind. He had told her to pick another car that was less but instead she went ahead to pick another expensive car which was just seven million dollars less than the Rolls-Royce. When she agreed to pick a less expensive car, he expected that she would go for the cars that cost just a few hundred dollars in the car shop since she already has one expensive one. “I see. If you have gotten a call from the company then why are you calling me to tell me that?” Rose asked. She knew what Williams' problem was but was acting ignorant to it. “Why shouldn’t I call you? I was sent the list of cars that you bought, so tell what a Bentley Flying Spur that cost eighteen million dollars doing in the list? Didn’t you and I agree that you would pick a less expensive car?” William asked back, a bit angry by how calm she was sounding after just squandering that amount of money to buy cars. “Yeah, we did agree that I should pick another car
“Sir, we are ready. I think we should leave early so that we wouldn't be late." William's secretary informed him. He had another meeting he needed to attend but he couldn't help but call Rose when he was given the report of what she bought."You seem to be very busy, father. Let's talk later.” Rose, who had heard the secretary's voice in the background, quickly used the opportunity to hang up the call before William could reply back to her. “That damned brat." William couldn't help but let out a curse when the call hung up. Of course he knew there would be no next time to talk about the matter. Besides, he came to realize that it was useless talking about it with Rose because she had already bought the car. He would just have to deal with the issue whenever Beatrice hears about it because she would definitely throw a fit.Rose let out a small scoff after she hung up the call. In her previous life, she didn't have the guts to do things like this and go against her father but this wa
What does that supposed mean? She had been coming here for the entire week without seeing anyone and today she decided to come here too. It was the weekend so she believed that all of the family members would be around at home and someone would attend to her.“Why can't I this time around? You should be aware that I have been visiting this place for the entire week, right?" Rose asked. “Well, I know that. It would have been easier to let you in if the Anderson family were in the residence. None of the family members are around because they have gone to the Anderson family house.” The security guard informed Rose.‘Great, I came here for an entire week but wouldn't be given an audience. Today, I should meet the family mother who is asking me to find them. They all went to the Anderson family house.’ Rose grumbled in her head in frustration.“Thank you for your time." She finally told the guard and made her way back to the car.“What's wrong, Little Rose?" Luthor asked, when he saw tha
“G-good afternoon, ma. How may I help you?" The guard asked, almost losing his composure when he saw that the owner of the car was a young beautiful girl. He was expecting someone that is a lot older to be the owner.“I came here to seek an audience with the Anderson family." Rose replied, finally turning her head to look at the guard.“Um…..which of the Anderson family are you here to see, ma?” The security guard asked again."I believe the person I'm here to see is whoever is the head of the Anderson family.” Rose casually replied. She didn't know who was the head of the family but she knew whoever is the Patriarch is the person she wanted to meet. “Do you have an appointment with the Patriarch then, ma?” The guard questioned again but Rose shook her head.“You won't let me in because of that?" Rose asked back.“Yes, ma. I can't let you in because only family members are allowed in. You can only enter if you have an appointment and I get confirmation from the main mansion about you
Luthor couldn't help but smile in amusement when he heard the security guard. Rose had done it again. She just has a unique way of making people agree with her and getting what she wants. She was right, the more time he spends with, the more he knows about Roseline Gray.“Let them know that I came from the Gray family. They might not know my name but inform them I'm related to Ruby Walter.” Rose told the security guard."I-I understand, I will inform them now, so please wait a bit.” The security guard replied and walked back to the guard house to make a phone call to the main mansion.A few minutes earlier before Rose arrived. In the main mansion of the Anderson family mansion. Frank had gathered almost all of his family in the main living room. Just like he had told Julian, he asked Julian to come along with his wife after she arrived back in the country yesterday with his own wife.“So you're telling me that Ruby's daughter is back in the country? Since when have you known about th
“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
