“I'll gladly accept that condition and thanks for putting so much trust in me." Theresa accepted without hesitation because that condition was meant for her peace of mind. She felt grateful that Rose was looking out for her Instead of being self-centered and selfish about her own personal gains.

"That's good, so tell me the exact amount we're going to need if we're to start this new fashion company of ours?" Rose asked.

"Well, you'll be glad to know that we still have enough funds to sort out the expenses." Theresa clasped her hand together as she told Rose with a smile on her face.

"How is that possible after all the changes you made to the store and the stocks you bought to stock the stall?" Rose asked, surprised to hear that there was money left to start up the business Theresa was talking about. She was expecting the money to have already finished due to all the fancy and exquisite design and changes in the entire stall.

Theresa laughed, because she found Rose's puzzled ex

    Rose nodded her head at Theresa. “Alright, I will bring the designs the next time I visit because I was not coming from home.” She told her.“It’s okay, I will be waiting for it then.” Theresa said, Rose suddenly got a text message on her cell phone and she was prompted to read it. She raised her gaze back to Theresa. "I have got to take my leave now, Mrs. Theresa, " She announced."Already? I was hoping you'd meet the design team," Theresa said with her tone filled with disappointment. "Honestly, I would love to but I don't have the time now but that can take place another day. I'm really sorry." Rose turned down the offer after apologizing to Theresa."Alright, I'll let you off this time around." Theresa declared and stood up from her seat ready to escort Rose out of the office. Consecutively, when Rose and Theresa arrived back at the store they were taken by surprise when a crowd had gathered as a result of commotion caused by Luthor and an unknown couple.Rose placed her

    The lady turned to look at Luthor. "Your jacket..." she repeated. "I believe you haven't paid for it yet. So technically, it is still on sale and I'm buying it.""But I picked it up first and was going to buy it before you grabbed it from my hand.” Luthor remarked, "Please return it back to me because I'm in a hurry.""That's impossible because I have searched for this design everywhere to give it as a birthday present to my fiance but couldn't find it except for this place. And I won't lose it to anyone now that I finally managed to find one." The lady refused vehemently to comply with Luthor's request."Well, that isn't any of my concerns, Miss. I insist you return the jacket back to me." Luthor replied adamantly."Why are you being so difficult? You can just go back to pick another jacket and let me have this one. Besides, I don't understand what someone like you is doing here because there is no way you can afford to buy any of these clothes." The lady snapped loudly in a displeas

    “Well, I did see him holding the jacket and I collected it from him. It's not like he had paid for it to lay claim on the jacket as his. Besides, why are you asking me such a question? This man had the audacity to call me shameless and unreasonable. I will show him just how unreasonable I can be, so I will take this jacket.” The lady arrogantly replied. “You're just another spoiled lady with no manners, young lady. I picked that jacket first, so deal with it however you like but hand over the jacket to me.” Luthor remarked. He didn't want to get into an argument with this lady in the first place but seeing how she was comfortable with cheating him irked him off. ‘Just why can't rich kids be sensible like Rose? They have one thing in common, throwing tantrums and requesting things that aren't theirs to take.’ Luthor thought to himself. Anna creases her brow upon hearing the woman's words as well. “Ma'am, just like my junior said and you also admitted that this man took the jacket fi

    Anna immediately lowered her face to the ground in embarrassment for failing to perform her work effectively. "I'm sorry for disappointing you both." She made a very sincere apology. Although Theresa was seriously annoyed at Anna because she expected her to have handled this situation more severely seeing how the lady was being extremely unreasonable at the moment. However, Rose on the other hand seems to be less bothered about this incident. "It is not your fault. I know that people like them are quite troubling to deal with." She consoled Anna in a calm manner. "And who are you?" The lady questioned Rose's identity when she saw the young girl walking up to them. But got no response because Rose had intentionally ignored her. Rose was completely focused on checking Luthor, who had a scowl on his face.. "Are you alright?" She asked Luthor simultaneously in a concerned tone. "Yes. I'm fine." Luthor responded with a genuine smile on his face as he was truly relieved that Rose h

    Rose sent a quick smile at Theresa, gently nodding at her before shifting her gaze back to the woman. “Well, there you have it. From this moment onward, you are banned from shopping at the store in the future. I would suggest that you comply with this small request of ours because it would be considered as trespassing if you ever attempt to cross the line." Rose gave the woman a stern warning, her voice sounds very dictative. "You….you can't be serious, I don't understand what sort of prank you guys are trying to pull off but there is no way I would believe whatever you say until I speak to whoever is in charge of this place directly." The lady still stubbornly refused to comply with whatever Rose said. “Little girl, I don't know who gave you the idea that you can just come here and throw down some invalid orders here. Do you know who this woman is to me? She is my fiance and I will not let her be ridiculed by a child like you.” The burly man suddenly spoke. He hadn't interfered m

    "How dare you?!......" “Did you see that everybody? This is how they treat customers with no regards. What would stop them from acting the same way to you if they openly acted this way toward us." The lady quickly addressed the crowd in a loud voice, ignoring Jane completely. Theresa couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment when she saw what the lady was doing. “So this is how you decide to play with me now." She muttered to herself. It turns out she was right from the moment she saw the lady in her store. The latest development of Theresa's clothing brand had been a great boost for business and Theresa’s clothing design also attracted a lot of customers to shop at the store. The news traveled quickly and in just a few days other business rivals were able to notice the drastic decline in the sales. As a result, Gladys, who was Theresa’s arch rival, couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She had used all of her connections to make sure that Theresa wouldn't be

    Although, Rose's outfit was looking very expensive thanks to the fact that she got the dress from the Anderson family.…but the same couldn't be said to Luthor who was putting on his normal casual clothes. Consequently, Lydia instantly branded Luthor as her scapegoat after Rose left. Therefore, Lydia intentionally snatched the jacket out of Luthor's hand to create a scene which would set up as a stage for her to execute her original task. Lydia thought everything was working according to the way it was planned. If there is one thing most of the wealthy individuals love, then it was that they all loved to be treated with high regard based on their status, and they would definitely be dissatisfied when it eventually turns out that Theresa's store values the lesser class of the society more than those who were considered as the elites. Lydia thought she had found the perfect excuse but one thing she didn't know was that she was the one following into the trap Theresa had set up for h

    Theresa closed her eyes for several seconds as she sucked in deep breath and released the gas back to the atmosphere in order to calm her nerves. After opening her eyes again she took a step forward to also address the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Madam Theresa, the owner and manager of this store. Firstly, I would like to say thank you for your consistent patronage and sincerely apologize for allowing this commotion disrupt your shopping experience. Based on whatever this woman has said, I don't have any explanation so I won't stop anyone if you intend on leaving because I'm practically used to it." She declared in a prideful demeanor as she wasn't planning on intriguing into dead weight that could drown her. "It might seem inappropriate but I've come to learn that the ones who stick by your side are the ones that truly matter. This store has a different policy compared to that of other stores and I'd like to stick with it because my job as clothing store owner is to provide

    ---The press conference was held at the luxurious Riverview Grand Hotel, a venue known for hosting high-profile events. The large conference room was packed to capacity with journalists, photographers, and reporters from various media, all eager to catch a glimpse of the trending Gray family.As soon as Rose entered the room with William, Beatrice, Victor, and Sophia, the reporters surged forward like a swarm of hungry predators."Roseline Gray, what’s your opinion on the recent video?""Roseline Gray, how do you feel about being attacked by your half-brother Victor Gray?""This isn’t the first time, is it? Why have you stayed silent about the abuse?""Your father didn’t defend you—have you ever resented him for it?""How do you feel about the way your stepmother treats you?""Doesn’t your stepsister Sophia support you either? Do you feel completely isolated?""Roseline Gray, I heard you came back to the country, so what did you do to be beaten up by your step brother?”Question afte

    ………The next day, Rose dressed carefully for the press conference. She applied a touch of makeup to cover her bruises, though some marks were still visible. She chose a white summer dress, its delicate design giving her an air of fragility.When she descended the stairs, Beatrice was waiting, her irritation evident as Rose had made them for a long time on purpose.“Why are you wearing that? Pick a brighter color! You look better in something cheerful. And put more makeup on!” Beatrice protested as she scanned what Rose was wearing.‘What is she trying to do? Is she trying to look weak on purpose?’ Beatrice fumed internally. ‘This conference is meant to prove the video was false, not the opposite! If anything bad happens to my son, you’ll pay for it!’ she seethed.Rose’s eyes filled with tears as she replied meekly, “Dr. Noah said makeup could cause scarring if applied before my cuts heal. But I thought it would look too obvious without anything, so I used a little to cover most of the

    They began the game in silence, the soft clink of chess pieces the only sound. Frank’s moves were calculated, deliberate, but he quickly realized Rose wasn’t an easy opponent. Her strategy was sharp, her responses precise, and it wasn’t long before she had him on the defensive.Frank leaned back in his chair, studying the board with newfound respect. “You’re quite skilled. Your mother must have been an excellent teacher.”“She was,” Rose replied, her tone tinged with fondness. “She always said chess was like life. Every move matters, and you have to think several steps ahead.”Frank nodded, his expression thoughtful. “A wise woman. And what have you learned from this game?”Rose paused, a small smile playing on her lips. “That you’re cautious but adaptable. You test your opponent before committing to a strategy.”Frank raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed. “Well observed. You’ve got a sharp mind, Rose. A rare gift.”“Thank you,” Rose said, warmth creeping into her voice.As the game p

    Rose smiled, caught between the two. “I… I didn’t mean to start a competition!” she said, laughing lightly.Frank chuckled and placed a hand on Anne’s shoulder. “It’s not a competition, dear,” he said softly, his voice carrying a reassuring note. “Let her call us whatever she feels comfortable with.”Anne smiled, the playful edge fading. “Well, as long as she knows I’m the most important one,” she said with a wink.Julian laughed, crossing his arms and leaning back casually. “I’ll tell you what Rose, in order to soften the situation. It would be best if you call mom ‘Grandma’ and father ‘Grandfather,’ Deal?”Rose laughed, feeling the warmth of their banter. “Deal!” she said, her heart lightened by the playful atmosphere. She totally forgot that she felt stiffened up earlier.“Well,” she said, giving Anne a quick hug, “I’ll call you Grandma, if you prefer that. I just... I think it slipped out. It feels right.”Anne’s face softened, her smile returning. “Of course, darling. I suppose

    *********The grandeur of the Anderson Ancestral home was as breathtaking as ever, with its ornate architecture and sprawling gardens. Though Rose had visited before, this time felt different. It wasn’t a casual visit—it was her escape, her refuge after the chaos at the Gray mansion.Julian guided her inside, where Frank and Anne Anderson awaited in the living room. Despite the familiarity, Rose still felt a twinge of hesitation as she approached them.“Rose, my darling,” Anne said warmly, pulling her into a gentle hug. Her soft hair brushed against Rose’s cheek as she held her close. “I’ve been worried about you. I’m so glad you’re here now.”“Thank you, Grandma,” Rose replied, her voice steady though her heart fluttered at the kindness."My goodness, how on earth did you end up in this state? How dare William Gray let his incompetent fool do this to my precious child? Does he have a death wish?" Anne fumed, her voice trembling with rage. Though most of the wounds were finally heali

    Rose, who heard Beatrice’s voice paused and looked at Beatrice, her expression blank but her posture poised.Beatrice clasped her hands together, her tone pitiful. “Rose, I… I know I’ve made mistakes. This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have let things get so out of hand. Please, don’t leave. We’re family. Let me make it up to you. What would the people say if they knew you left home?”‘Tsk, you're still worried about your safety and reputation.’ Rose scoffed.Her gaze fixed on Beatrice. She tilted her head slightly, her tone soft and innocent. “Oh, Mother, I don’t blame you at all. It wasn’t your fault. These things just… happen.”Beatrice’s eyes widened, taken aback by Rose’s response. “I—I’ll do better, I swear. I’ll talk to Victor, and we’ll make this right. You don’t need to go.”Rose offered a small, sweet smile. “You’re too kind, mother, But Uncle Julian is right—I need a change of scenery. It’s not about you. I just need a little time to heal.”Beatrice reached for her hand, h

    ---The Gray mansion loomed under the overcast sky, its towering structure a stark reminder of the battles fought within its walls. Two days had passed since Rose signed the contract, transferring her shares to William. But her mind was far from defeated. She had called her uncle, Julian Anderson, with one clear directive: take her out of this house.As the sleek black car pulled up to the grand entrance, William stood at the threshold, his expression unreadable but his stance stiff with tension. Julian stepped out, his tailored suit and confident demeanor a sharp contrast to William’s simmering hostility.“Julian,” William greeted, his voice laced with forced politeness. “What brings you here today?”Julian’s gaze swept over William coldly. “I’m here for Rose.”William’s jaw tightened. “Rose is perfectly fine where she is.”Julian smirked, his sharp features hardening. “Fine? Is that what you call being bitten by your son? Victor’s behavior was barbaric. She’s covered in bruises, an

    ‘My wife is right. She's changed. She's plotting something,’ William thought, his suspicions solidifying."So, she’s put her guard up against me," he muttered in a tone only he can hear, his expression darkening. If that’s the case, I’ll have to get rid of her soon.But the tens of billions he craved wouldn’t be his until Rose turned twenty.Rose felt the sudden wave of hostility radiating from her father and shivered. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do, even to his own daughter, to get what he wants. She was certain of it.That was the real William Carter: calculating and ruthless. With no power, money, or connections of her own, Rose wasn’t a threat to him—yet. But her time for revenge hadn’t come, and until then, she had no choice but to play along.Quickly, she donned a sweet smile and replied in her softest voice, "You’re my dad. There’s no need to borrow anything. Whatever you need, I’m happy to give it to you and help in any way I can."Her thoughts told a different story. This is

    "Father?!" William snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Rose's voice next to him. Rose frowned at the way William jolted at her words. It's obvious he was daydreaming, but the fact that he was wasting her time was even more annoying to her.“Do you have something else to.say?" She asked.For a moment, as though remembering his true purpose for coming, he cleared his throat and turned to look at her properly.“There’s something I need to ask you, Rose.” He hesitated, his tone softening. “Do you remember the 10% shares your grandfather gifted you? I need you to lend them to me. It’s critical for stabilizing the company. I promise, once we get through this tough time, I’ll return them to you.”The words landed exactly as Rose had expected. She had been waiting for this moment.When she was born, her grandfather had gifted her 10% of the company’s shares—a sizable stake, even by Gray standards. Those shares had remained untouched, protected by a clause that prevented their use unti
