“Step mother, I didn't notice you there.” Rose dryly replied as she stared at Beatrice who had a scowl on her face. “Why didn't you let anyone know about this? What do you think your father would say once he hears about this as well?" Beatrice added. " Well, I did inform Aunty Paige about my whereabouts. I asked to speak with you but you weren't at home. Probably out with your friends, step mother.” Rose calmly told her again. " What? Paige is aware? Why didn't I know?” Beatrice was surprised to hear that Paige was aware. It was because Mary, her own personal and most trusted maid, came to tell this morning that Rose didn't come home yesterday, she surely wouldn't know about it. “How should I know the answer as well? Aunty told me she would let you know once you came back but I guess you didn't come home early yesterday for Aunty to inform you about it." Rose remarked, crossing her hand in front of her chest and stared down at Beatrice. " Dear, it wasn't like that. You see, I w
“Ask away, step mother." Rose nodded. She could half guess what this new question was going to be. “Rose, do you have any idea who owns the car that was delivered to the mansion yesterday? I tried asking your father if he was the one but he wouldn't give me a proper answer and your sister obviously knows nothing about it.” Beatrice threw the question that has been on her mind since morning. "Oh, that. I was the one that bought the car and had it delivered to the house. Is there a problem with that?" Rose replied with a clueless expression on her face. "What? Did you know the price of the car that was brought here? No, most importantly where did you get the money to buy such an expensive car?” Beatrice interrogated, taken about by surprise when she found out that Rose was the owner of the car that she saw by herself yesterday. “Father was the one that bought it for me as a gift because I passed the Crystal Academy exam.” Rose truthfully replied. Of course, she was being hones
Just like Rose thought, William arrived back that night and the thing he was welcomed with was receiving tantrums from both his wife and daughter. “Daddy, you're back from your trip?” Sophia rushed down the stairs and went to huge William who smiled at his daughter. " How is my sweet beautiful Sophia doing? You've even become more beautiful than the last time I saw you.” William complimented. Of course, he knew Sophia likes to hear those kinds of things. "Don't tease me, Daddy. By the way, Daddy, is it true you bought two cars for Roseline? Where are my own?” Sophia quickly switched the topic since she was also aware of the two cars that Rose possesses in the house. “Just the same question I was about to ask." Beatrice also added as she crossed her arm in front of her chest. “That…… Sophia, you see I already promised your sister to buy a car for her…..” Sophia didn't let William finish speaking before she interrupted him. "But it's two cars she has. Why? Aren't you supposed to b
" Are you sure about this?” Beatrice asked in order to confirm if he was really telling the truth."Do I have any other reason to tell you guys a lie? Just let her have her time for now because we are going to get a lot of things from her.” William reassured them.“But Daddy……”" Sophia, it's okay. Your father is right and we should just let Rose enjoy it for now. Besides, she can't take both cars out at once though.” Beatrice quickly stopped Sophia, who was about to make some complaints.Sophia pouted her face, not pleased with the fact that Rose would be driving an expensive car than her but she couldn't argue because her parents were right. They needed Rose to continue believing their lies.“However, I hope this wouldn't affect my upcoming birthday because I would be expecting my own gift from you." Beatrice said suddenly as she looked at her husband.William smiled as he pulled Beatrice closer to him and planted a passionate kiss on her lips. “Don't worry, I definitely won't forge
********At the top roof of the King Conglomerate building, a helicopter was already waiting and prepared as Alex stepped out of the elevator along with Derek behind him.“Boss, are you sure you don't want me to come along?” Derek asked, raising his voice as he spoke because of the sound coming from the helicopter. Earlier today, they got a report that there was a problem at one of the company branches and also there was another business that required Alex's attention which was the underworld problem. Some new gangs were trying to do something, so Alex had to make his presence at the underworld to handle the situation as always."Stay behind and manage the company till I come back.” Alex replied, unlike Derek who was shouting to speak, he was calm and collected as usual."Alright boss," Derek nodded his head as one of the bodyguards opened the door for Alex.Just as Alex was about to board the helicopter, he stopped and turned to look at Derek.“Give me the report of what I ask you to
Meanwhile, outside the building where Luthor was waiting for Rose after getting her text that she was coming, he stood next to the car since he would have to open the car door for Rose once she came outside.At the same moment he was waiting for Rose, Sophia walked out of the building fully dressed and ready for school. She purposely woke up early today because she had a mission.Sophia spotted Luthor immediately and her gaze landed on the black Bentley, her eyes sparkled and strutted her way to where Luthor and the car was.“Hey, you…..” She called, making Luthor turn to look at her."How may I help you Miss?” Luthor asked, while raising his brow at Sophia. He didn't know her but his instincts told him that she was probably Rose's younger sister based on the way she was dressed but he didn't care much about her.Sophia eyed Luthor with a disgusted look, not liking the way he didn't bow to greet her. However, she didn't want to cause any trouble because of what she wanted to accompli
“Sister, I'm glad that you're here. You won't believe that this dumb driver you hired won't let me into the car even when he knew that I'm your younger sister. He kept saying he wasn't ordered to allow anyone else into the car apart from you." Sophia quickly explained, ignoring the fact that Rose said she was not an exception the first time.“Really? But I gave him that order." Rose casually replied as she looked at Sophia.“But sister, he should know that I'm an exception because I'm your sister and we always share everything together." Sophia remarked, frowning a bit at Rose.“I said you are not an exception. I gave him the order which includes you so he has every right to refuse because he is following orders.” Rose dryly replied, repeating her words again.“What….? Sister, how can you not make me an……exception? Did I ever….. wrong you in any way, sister?” Sophia asked, her voice shaking a bit.“You haven't wronged me, Sophia." Rose suddenly smiled gently at Sophia. “I gave him tha
Just like Rose expected, Sophia was completely amazed by the interior decoration of the car as she kept checking every feature out. Of course Rose didn't stop her and let her continue with whatever she was doing as leaned her head back and closed her eyes while she silently listened to one of her best playlist by ‘Post Malone’ to avoid having any sort of conversation with Sophia, who thought she was sleeping. When they got to school, the two sisters went to their different classes. It's been an entire weekend so when Rose entered the classroom, she was immediately strangled in a hug from Sandra while Kehlani just smiled brightly at her. The entire school day went by peacefully and Rose didn't come across Leo in any way but she had fun with both her two friends with no trouble coming to look for her. After school ended, Theresa was unable to come and pick Kehlani up from school because she was extremely busy at the mall, so Rose offered to drive her home since she was also going t
