Rose shook her head again, "No, I figured out where you were on my own. My father is unaware that I am here at all since he is away on a business trip.” She told them. If William knew that she planned to come here, he would definitely have her bundled and send her back to where she came from, which was abroad. “If your father isn't aware of you coming here, then how come you are here? Why did you come here?" Julian asked with a small frown. “I was told to come here." She curtly told him. “Child, I think you should explain properly to us. We are confused by what you are saying. Who asked you to come here?" Frank was the one who spoke. "My mother was the one who asked me to come here when I got a message she left for me before she died. I didn't have plans to come here because I was told only family members are allowed to enter the mansion, so I visited the Anderson residence for the entire week but I wasn't allowed in. I also went there today but the security guard told me that the
“There are a lot of reasons why your mother left that message for you. And that is why we were also planning to approach the Gray family before you came. We would have done this a few years ago but your father had sneakingly sent you away out of our reach. There are many things you need to know but it all depends whether you are ready or not." Frank commented, making Rose turn to look at him. “Father, I don't think we should reveal all of this kind of thing to her yet. We just only met her.” Karen suddenly spoke. The four of them knew exactly what Frank was talking about but she felt it was too sudden. "Yes, I agree with Karen, darling. Rose still needs to adapt to us first before we tell things like that.” Anne added in support with Karen. “But, mother, it's better to let the girl know now than later. It's true we only met her now but it would be to explain a few things to her so that she can know where she stands. Most of what we are going to tell her is going to ruin the image o
Rose remained silent for a minute as she just looked at Frank who was also looking back at her. “No. I can't say that I fully trust everyone here, since trusting someone isn't an easy thing. However, I do trust my mother because she has a lot of trust in you. That was why she left the message about you to me. My mother would never lead me to a place that would swallow me up." She finally replied, giving her best and honest response to Frank. Frank slowly nodded his head, satisfied at her response. He would find it hard to believe if she said she trusted them because they just met. However, her response just let him know that she really wasn't an ordinary person. Only someone who had had their trust betrayed before would know that trusting someone isn't an easy thing. “Good, good, you're just like your mother. She had similar thoughts to you when she was alive. Despite the fact that I was her uncle, she still made me earn her trust before she could fully trust me and you just remi
To her, she felt undeserving of something like that, after hearing all the good things about her mother. She couldn't help but feel that she let her down and disappointed her. It cost her to die before she became smart and wise, but still she felt like she couldn't be compared to her mother. Everyone just stared at Rose, they could see that she was disappointed in herself for some reason that they don't know about. “No matter what, I'm sure that your mother would always be proud of you." Julian suddenly commented, making Rose raise her up to look at him. “I appreciate that Mr. Anderson." Rose said, the corner of her lips into a faint smile. Julian frowned slightly when he heard the way she addressed him but he said nothing. “I know that I just met everyone today but I'm willing to know everyone properly just like my mother. I can't really promise that it will be quick to get used to everyone but I surely will with time.” Rose remarked. She had made up her mind to make an eff
“Then if you don't mind, I can stay the night here." Rose rold Old madam without thinking. She didn't know what came over her but when she saw Anne's expression she felt like making it up to her. " What?” Old madam was surprised when she heard Rose. “Wouldn't your father know that you aren't around, Rose?” Frank asked. "My father is on a business trip and his wife wouldn't even notice my absence at home. I bet she would wish I didn't step foot into that house again. But I will take care of the excuse to give them." Rose casually replied, which was true. Beatrice wouldn't care if she came home or not. No one said anything at first and just quietly stared at Rose. It seems like she was aware that her family didn't care about her and the fact that she was being so casual about it made them worried about her but no one wanted to say anything. “Alright child, you can stay with us for the night. We would love to have your company here." Frank was the first person to speak after
“Child, there is still a lot we need to talk about. And I also have to tell you something about your mother, but like my wife said, we need you to settle down properly here with us.” Frank suddenly spoke. He knew Rose was not like any other average teenager because he was sensing maturity from her which was confusing to him. He wondered how quickly she had grown mentally in order to protect herself. “I understand.” Rose nodded her head. Just then, the door opened and Anthony walked into the room. "Anthony, what happened?” Frank asked, thinking he was here to inform him about something. "I came to bring the young miss to the room that is already prepared for her." Anthony replied and turned to look at Rose. “Young Miss, I will bring you to your room now." He told her. ‘That was quick. I thought they would just prepare the room for me.’ Rose thought to herself before she nodded at Anthony. “Sir, what about my driver? Can you also prepare a room for him as well?" Rose asked as sh
“Hello, Aunty." She spoke after the call connected. "Young Miss, where are you? Are you able to see the Anderson family today?” Paige asked, after hearing Rose's voice. “Yes, Aunty. I was finally able to meet the Anderson family and I'm currently with them." Rose told Paige. “Oh my, that's so good. I'm glad to hear that, young Miss. Were you treated properly, young Miss?” Paige asked, a hint of worry could be heard in her voice. She was worried and scared that the Anderson family might treat Rose poorly since she was not sure what kind of people they were. But according to her late madam and the things she normally tells her, she heard that they were really nice to Ruby when she was alive so she expected them to be a bit nice to Rose as well. “Aunty, I'm fine and you don’t have to be worried about me because I was treated very well by the family.” Rose replied, knowing that Paige was worried about her. “Is that so, I feel relieved as well now.” Paige let out a sigh after hearing
After she hung up the call, she texted Luthor in order to confirm if he was okay which he called her instead of replying to her message.“You could have just texted me rather than calling, Brother Luthor.” Rose remarked, after she answered Luthor’s call.“I’m sorry, I just decided to call so that I can hear your voice.” Luthor replied.Rose smirked at him, he was making it sound like he was her personal bodyguard rather than her personal driver. “Are you comfortable with the place you are in? If you don't feel comfortable, you can go back. Once it’s tomorrow you can come-” Rose was unable to finish speaking when Luthor suddenly interrupted her.“What are you talking about, Little Rose? I’m your personal driver so I have to be wherever you are. And I’m comfortable here so don’t worry about me. I will call my mother and let her know if you are worried that she might be worried about me as well.” Luthor remarked.“Okay, if you say that then.” Rose replied not wanting to push him any fu
