“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. Ta
" 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
She looked at the envelope in her hand and raised her head up to look at Frank who suddenly smiled gently at her for the first time she had met him. She couldn't help but blink her eyes at the sudden gesture from the serious and stern looking old man.“You can go ahead and open it, child." Frank told her.Rose finally turned her gaze back to the envelope and opened it, only to find a few paperworks and documents inside which she slowly pulled out from the envelope and placed the envelope on her lap while she slowly went through the paperwork one by one.“Your grandmother is my younger sister and was once part of the Anderson family. Your grandmother gave her own shares and property she had in the Anderson family to your mother. Your mother is also a bloodline of the Anderson family which made her have her own shares too in the Anderson family. However, your mother never added her shares and your grandmother shares of the Anderson family to her will because she wanted you to have it. T
