Everyone could tell that it was something serious because of his expression so they paid attention to him.“Go ahead, Anthony." Frank nodded his head at Anthony.“I just received a report from the security guard, who said that the security guard at the main entrance said that there is a guest that is requesting an audience with you." Anthony informed Frank who frowned." Frank, are you expecting someone?” Anne asked her husband who shook his head." I don't remember having a guest coming to see me.” He replied before turning to look at Anthony. " Did the person leave their name?” Frank asked him." According to what the guard told me. He said the guest said she came from the Gray family and is related to Miss Ruby Walter if that would be better.” Anthony revealed. Everyone's expression suddenly changed when they heard him. Even Nicholas who has remained calm raised a brow when he heard Anthony.Why did someone from the Gray family and also related to Ruby Walter suddenly come here? T
After a few extra minutes of driving, they finally arrived at the gate of the Anderson main mansion. Because they have already received an order from the Butler, the security guards didn't bother to stop them and allow Luthor to drive in.Just as Luthor stopped the car in front of the mansion, Rose caught a glimpse of an old man standing outside the entrance dressed in a Butler uniform with two bodyguards and two maids behind him.“Brother Luthor, would you like to go with me?" Rose asked Luthor. She didn't want to leave him alone in an unfamiliar place since she wasn't familiar with this place as well."Do you want me to go with you? I can escort you if you want and feel uncomfortable.” Luthor replied, taking a glance at Rose through the rearview mirror." Let's step out of the car first.” Rose told Luthor who nodded his head and she opened the car door. The moment Rose stepped out of the car, straightened her dress before turning to look at Luthor who had walked over to her side. T
After he left, she looked around her, taking a moment to admire the grandeur of the living room and the fine details that were incorporated into its creation.Just as she was busy admiring the beauty of the living room she couldn't help but imagine what kind of reaction the Old Master and Madam would have when they saw her. ‘I just hope they wouldn't turn out to be a family that I would have to deal with again. Mother was so sure about them.’ She thought. Rose was so caught up in her thoughts that she almost didn't notice the footsteps, until they were right behind her."Are you the young lady asking to have an audience with me?" A cold and stern voice asked.Rose stood up from her seat and slowly turned around only to see that the footsteps belonged to two elderly people."Oh my goodness...wh...who are you?" Old Madam blurted out with a shaky voice. She had a look of surprise and confusion on her face as she saw Rose in real life.Rose blinked her eyes when she heard the old lady's
"No sir. This is not a joke," Rose said firmly as she met his gaze without flinching. Even though he was a bit terrifying she was able to maintain her calm demeanor."Like I said earlier, I am Roseline Gray, the daughter of Ruby Walker. And I can assure you, I came here on my own accord." Her voice was calm and steady."What?" Old Madam's reaction was a stark contrast to what Rose had expected, and it was clear that her words had taken the elderly woman by surprise.Rose turned her attention to the old lady and studied her properly. Old Madam, on the other hand, was the epitome of grace and elegance. Her gray hair was tied in a tight bun, but her posture was still straight. If Old Anderson demeanor and stature exuded power and experience, the old lady beside him possessed grace and refinement. Despite the fact that both of them had white hair due to their age, they appeared quite different in terms of the energy and aura they emitted. "Are you sure of what you are saying?” Old Ander
"I feel left out, like my presence isn't noticed!" Old Anderson complained."Your intimidating look on your face and presence scares her to approach you." Old madam retorted."Dear, how can you push the blame only on me. We both agreed before we came here to be intimidating to whoever the person was. Now that you are sure that she is really Ruby's daughter, you want to blame me for reacting that way.” Old Anderson raised his brow at his wife who scoffed at him." We did agree to do something like that but you were too much. What if the poor girl had been too intimidated by you?” Old Madam argued back.Rose just stared speechlessly between the two people. First of all, Old Anderson's expression had completely changed from the menacing look he had earlier. " Um….. I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation but I don't think you should argue with each other. Besides, I understand why Patriarch Anderson did that.” After much deliberation, she decided to interfere in the matter.“Child,
After Anthony left, Rose kept staring at the people in front her, her gaze wasn't Frank and Anne because she had just met them. Instead she was more focused on the two other elders in the room. Her eyes looked very vigilant as she scanned them on their seats. She hadn't taken notice of both Nicholas and Leo because they were sitting in a different place. Just as she was busy scanning them, Julian was also sizing Rose who had a calm and blank expression on her face as she stared back at him while his wife, Karen, had a shocked and surprised expression on her face. Julian couldn’t deny the fact that he wasn't shocked by the expression that was on Rose's face. He was expecting her to act scared when she saw him but instead she was staring at him hard with her expressionless face. She didn't look scared and looked like she could see through him. He continued to stare at her trying to see how long she could continue to stare at him. On the other hand, Rose kept staring at Julian, she w
It wasn't like he was new to a situation like this but he felt like her attitude was too familiar. Ruby was also like that in the past when she was alive. Honestly, his relationship with Ruby didn't start off nicely. Both him and Ruby used to hate and argue with each other. They were just like typical cousins that don't agree with each other. The reason why they were like that was because he personally didn't like how cunning and evil Ruby was. She always had an expression on her face like they were close whenever the elders were around but after they left, her expression changed to her usual evil woman. They have been on this misunderstanding until eventually became friends and Karen was the reason why they became friends. Rose right now reminded him of Ruby. ‘It seems like she really is her mother's daughter.’ Julian thought as he looked at Rose. “Hello, Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Anderson.” Rose shortly greeted the two of them formally with her same blank expression. There was no rel
“Finally, I was wondering when you would turn your attention here and recognize me. It seems like you sensed my gaze on you, Little Rose.” Leo replied, still wearing the grin on his face. "Hm. It's not my fault I find it hard to recognize your presence.” Rose coldly retorted back. "What are you doing here?” She asked him. "Why are you slow to figure it out? I should be asking you since I'm at my grandparents house.” Leo replied with a raised brow at Rose. Grandparents? Rose creased her brow at him before she could connect the dots. She didn't remember Leo's surname properly and that was why she had asked what he was doing here. Even if she remembered his surname, she didn't expect him to be related to this Anderson family. However, if he was at his grandparents place then that means he was Leo Anderson. ‘How pathetic of you, Roseline. You had one Anderson family member right in front of you for the past one week and you failed to recognize him. I could have used him to make a qu
