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

    When they got outside the study room, Anthony asked Rose to wait while he entered first and informed Frank about Rose's arrival. Soon, he came out and opened the door for Rose to walk in. “The Old Master asked you to come inside.” He told Rose." Thank you Grandpa Smith.” Rose thanked Anthony before she entered the study room.When she walked into the large and spacious study room, Rose raised her brow when she not only saw Frank who she was expecting. She also saw Julian, Nicholas and Leo also in the study room.The reason Leo was in the study room was because Frank had asked him to come. Earlier after Anthony led Rose to her room, Frank asked his son and grandsons to move into his study room in order for them to discuss properly. Moreover, he wanted to ask Leo some questions about Rose since he was the only person that was a bit closer to Rose than all of them.Meanwhile, Rose was a bit confused about everything. ‘Is something wrong?’ She thought to herself.“You're here, child.

    " We will understand you properly no matter how you explain to us. And don't be nervous to speak freely with us, child.” Frank commented with a reassuring nod. Ever since he saw Rose apart from looking exactly like her mother, he had a feeling that he would really like her which was turning true with every minute he spent with her. Because he didn't want to scare and make Rose feel uncomfortable he had been trying to act calm and collected when in reality he wanted to really get to know her. But he wasn't sure how she would react to him. “My mother didn't just leave the message of me finding this family alone. There were other things she left for me which I'm slowly finding out now.” Rose stated, making everyone pay attention to her. " What are you talking about?” Julian asked. "I'm talking about her Will. Since you guys are the closest relatives of my mother, I'm sure you guys are aware of my mother's will she wrote before she dies, right?” She replied and asked them. Julian turn

    “The thing is….. after my father sent me to school abroad, any time he called me he usually asked if I knew some information about my mother, most especially her passwords she used to save some of her possessions. From there I figured that there was actually something my father was doing secretly and it was something that my mother was involved in. As for how I knew about the will before coming to the country, I heard it from my father but he didn't know I overheard his conversation with someone when he called me.” Rose finally replied, quickly coming up with an excuse and lie that she hoped they would buy and believe. Nobody said anything at first after Rose replied and they all stared at her with different thoughts going through their head at the moment. They somehow felt like there was still something that Rose wasn't telling them but her explanation on how she found out about the will was believable a bit. It was possible that William wasn't aware that his phone call with Rose w

    However, amidst their yelling, Karen wasn’t done. “Let's not pretend you’re here because you care about my Rose. I don't care much about high society but I have enough information to know that you and Beatrice are never friends and you just proved me right. You saw a chance to use my Rose to humiliate Beatrice in public. But the truth is—Beatrice doesn’t even see you as a rival. You’re not a threat to her. You’re just a footnote.” That did it. Even though Karen didn't like Beatrice, she had to use her as a weapon to damage Margret. And it was true in some ways, Beatrice never saw Margaret as a rival and that was why she left her off. Beatrice is more cunning and has better things to do than Margret. On the other hand, Margaret’s face turned red, her voice rising. “You arrogant little—! Who the hell do you think you are to speak to me like that?!” “I’m someone you should’ve never insulted,” Karen replied coolly. “Especially not in front of witnesses.” “You're such a bitch! You even

    Karen returned with graceful steps, wiping her hands with a silk handkerchief as she approached the table—only to stop mid-step at the sight before her. Three women, overdressed and oozing fake charm, surrounded Rose, who looked irritated and uncomfortable. Karen’s expression hardened immediately. “Is there a problem here?” Karen asked smoothly as she walked up to the table, though her voice was laced with sharpness. Margaret immediately changed her facial expression as she turned without even bothering to look properly. “Oh, relax. We’re just having a friendly chat. Nothing that concerns—” She paused, eyes scanning Karen lazily. Then scoffed. “Oh. You’re the lady that was with her earlier?” Margaret blinked, her voice condescending. “How… quaint. Let me guess—you’re her assistant or... manager?” Rose blinked, trying not to laugh. It was obvious now that these women were actually dumb. Even if Karen is not well known amongst the high socialist thanks to the fact that she lives t

    From across the room, Margaret Pezz had been watching like a hawk. Dressed in an ivory designer set and dripping in gold jewelry, Margaret whispered something to her friends, eyes gleaming. With Karen out of the way, it was time to make her move. She strutted over, her heels clicking arrogantly against the marble. Two overdressed women followed her like loyal shadows. “Roseline, darling!” Margaret said with feigned delight, placing a hand on the back of Rose’s chair as if they were long-lost friends. “I couldn’t believe it was you! You look absolutely radiant in person.” Rose looked up slowly from the food menu she was still checking out, expression unreadable. “Do I know you?” Margaret laughed, her voice grating. “Oh, we haven’t officially met. I’m Margaret Pezz—a very close friend of Beatrice, your stepmother.” The moment she said Beatrice’s name, Rose’s expression soured. Margaret noticed and quickly backtracked, playing both sides. “But honestly dear, I never liked the way

    The morning sunlight streamed through the large windows of the Anderson estate, bathing the grand dining hall in a warm glow. Rose sat at the breakfast table, quietly sipping her tea as Anne and Karen conversed about an upcoming events. "You should get some fresh air today," Anne suggested, eyeing Rose over her cup of coffee. Karen nodded in agreement. "Actually, I was thinking of taking her out. Just a small outing—maybe some shopping, a café stop. What do you think, Rose?" Rose blinked, caught off guard. "Shopping?" "Yes," Karen said with a small smile. "You could use a few new things, and a change of scenery might be nice." Rose hesitated. She wasn’t exactly the type to enjoy aimless shopping trips at the moment, but the way Anne and Karen were looking at her told her this was more than just a casual suggestion. It was their way of trying to spend time with her. And truthfully, a part of her was beginning to appreciate the warmth they offered. "Alright," she finally agreed.

    Later that evening, Rose wandered through the grand hallways of the Anderson estate, her footsteps light against the polished floors. She wasn’t sure what had compelled her to leave the comfort of her room, but something about the quiet atmosphere of the night made her restless. Before she knew it, she was standing in front of her grandfather's study. Hesitating for only a moment, she knocked lightly. "Come in," came the deep, commanding voice from inside. Rose pushed the door open and stepped inside, finding Frank seated at a massive mahogany desk, a glass of whiskey beside him. The dim lighting cast long shadows across the shelves lined with books and relics of the past. "Couldn't sleep?" he asked, not looking up as he finished scribbling on a document. "Something like that," Rose admitted, stepping closer. Frank gestured to the chair across from him. "Sit." She did, expecting the usual quiet company they sometimes shared. But instead of returning to his work, Frank pulled o

    The next day, Rose sat in the sunroom with Anne, sipping tea while flipping through an old book she had pulled from the family’s extensive library. The warm golden light streamed through the glass walls, casting soft shadows across the polished floor. Anne, ever the poised and graceful matriarch, studied her granddaughter with sharp yet affectionate eyes. "Are you comfortable, dear?" Rose glanced up from her book. "Yes, Grandmother. More comfortable than I expected to be." A rare, approving smile graced Anne's lips. "Good. You should feel at home here." Before Rose could respond, Karen entered the room, her heels clicking against the marble floor. "Ah, perfect. You're both here," she said, taking a seat across from Rose. Anne arched her brow. "You sound suspiciously excited. What are you up to, my dear?" Karen smirked, “Yes, I'm excited, mother because I have some nice news for Rose.” she said then turned to Rose. "I had a little chat with Headmistress Moore this morning. She ag

    Dinner continued with casual conversation, and despite how formal the Anderson household could seem, the atmosphere wasn’t tense. After finishing her meal, Rose excused herself, but before she could leave, Leo grabbed her wrist. "Where are you going?" Rose gave him a pointed look. "To see Grandfather." Leo blinked in surprise but quickly masked it. He let go of her wrist and shrugged. "Suit yourself. Just don’t stay up too late." Rose shook her head and walked off. However, she didn't head straight to meet Frank, she made a quick stop at the kitchen. Frank’s study was dimly lit, the faint scent of aged paper and cedarwood clinging to the air. He sat behind his desk, flipping through a thick folder of documents. A soft knock echoed through the room. “Come in,” Frank’s voice called out, calm but firm. The door opened and Rose stepped inside, carrying a polished tray with a single porcelain teacup. She closed the door behind her with a quiet click. Frank looked up and paused, ey

    “What’s going on here?” Rose’s voice was calm but firm as she stepped forward, her sharp gaze sweeping over the tension-filled scene. She had spotted the standoff the moment she entered the stall. Sandra turned to her, arms crossed. “Oh, perfect timing. This girl thinks staring at a snack means she owns it.” The girl scoffed when she heard Sandra’s explanation. “And this girl thinks she can just take whatever she wants.” The vendor, seeing Rose enter the conversation, looked relieved. “Miss, maybe you can help settle this?” Rose exhaled, her gaze flickering between them before settling on the other girl with calm finality. “If you really wanted it, you should have asked the vendor to hold it for you. Since you didn’t, I don’t see why this is even an argument.” The girl frowned, seemingly unprepared for someone to shut down the situation with pure logic instead of fueling the fight. One of her friends stepped up, opening her mouth to say something, but Rose’s voice cut through th

    After finishing their meal, the group began heading back to their private room when Sandra suddenly stopped. “You guys go ahead. Kehlani and I need to grab something real quick.” Kaleb raised a brow at her. “What is it?” “A snack I saw earlier,” Sandra replied, waving him off. “It won’t take long.” Austin sighed but didn’t argue. “Fine, just don’t get into trouble.” Leo glanced at Rose, but before he could say anything, she spoke first. “I’ll catch up with you. I want to check something at the next stall too.” Leo narrowed his eyes but didn’t question her, since he knew she wouldn’t tell him what it was. “Are you sure you don't want me to come along? The last thing I need is you getting lost.” He asked which earned him a glare from Rose. “I will be fine without you. And I will also catch up with both Sandra and Kehlani, ” She replied. Seeing that she wouldn’t let him go with her, he finally relented. “Don’t take too long.” With that, the three boys walked off, leaving the girl
