“Rose, you weren’t aware of this but your mother was related to the Anderson family before she died.”William said.

“Roseline, your father is right. Your mother is my cousin and we on;y heard about your arrival in the country so we came to meet your father.” Julian suddenly spoke.

“Are you saying that my mother had a relative that I wasn't aware of? Why didn’t you tell me about them before, father?” Rose asked, giving William a questioning look.

William was caught off guard when he heard her question because he didn’t know how to reply back to her, not when she had that expression on her face.

Seeing that her husband was in a tight position, Beatrice decided to come to his rescue and help. “Rose, please don’t blame your father. He just didn’t tell you all this because he thought you shouldn’t know about thi yet. He was only doing what is best for you.” She said and William quickly nodded his head.

“Is that so? I know you care for me but that doesn’t mean you have to decide whethe

    Rose raised her brow in amazement because this was the very first time she was witnessing Karen look this scary. The only expression she has seen on Karen’s face was a sweet motherly expression and Rose knew that Karen wanted to dote on her but it was because she had chosen not to live with them. “Mrs. anderson, i don’t understand why you see-” “Enough of this nonsense, Beatrice Gray. you are not the one to decide for Rose. let the child decide for herself if she wants to go with us or not.” Karen didn’t let Beatrice finish speaking before she cut her off. “Mrs. Anderson, I think you are misunderstanding what Beatrice is saying. She is not deciding for Rose. Besides, Rose is also her daughter and she knows what Rose would like or not.” William tried to defend Beatrice. “Father, it’s okay. I will make my decision myself and Ihave decided to go with them to meet my mother’s uncle.” Rose suddenly intervened, making everyone turn to look at her. “What?” William was completely surpri

    “My dear, this would be your room. I have everything prepared for you but if you don't like anything there, let me know so that I can have it changed for you." Karen said as she stood in front of the room door she had paid her attention into decorating for Rose during the week. It was one the reason they didn't visit the Gray mansion earlier because she wanted everything to be perfect before they bring Rose. Rose smiled when she noticed the nervousness in Karen's eyes that she was trying to hide. “Thank you for taking care of me, Aunty. I'm sure you already did a good job with the room so don't worry about anything because I will like it no matter how it looks." She told Karen who blinked her eyes in surprise. “Oh dear, aren't you so sweet? You can tell that I'm nervous that you might not like what I did.” Karen let out a sigh of relief as she smiled back at Rose. She unconsciously reached out her hand and caressed Rose cheek gently. ‘You really left an image of you Ruby and sh

    “Haha, I like you’re very honest. Anyways, I heard that you are around so I came to say hi to you. Aren’t I a good house host?” Leo replied, making Rose roll her eyes at him. She was only to spend the weekend here but she had to keep up with this guy. “Thank you. And you are indeed a good house host but Aunty is very much better than you.” Rose said with a bored expression on her face. “Now that you have greeted me, I will close the door.” She added and without waiting for Leo's response she closed the door and went back to lay on the bed. Leo chuckled at the closed door and was about to walk away when he heard a voice from behind him. “Leo, what are you doing here?” Leo froze when he heard the familiar serious voice of his older brother behind him. He turned around and smiled at Nicholas who had a frown on his face with a file in his hand. “Brother, what are you doing here?” Leo asked. “I asked you a question first. Don’t ask question with question, Leo Anderson.” Nicholas r

    After dinner, Rose returned to her room but remembering she had something to say to Julian, she stepped out of her room and luckily she saw a maid walking by so she asked her to take her to Julian study room. Julian was busy working on some unfinished paperwork in his office when there was a knock on his door. “Come in." He gave his permission thinking that it was one of his sons. The door pushed open and Rose slowly walked into the office and closed the door behind her. “What can I do for you, Nicholas?" Julian asked, his head buried in the file he was going through. “Uncle Julian?" She called, making Julian raise his head up when he heard a different voice from what he expected. “Rose? I didn't know that it was you." He said, surprised to see Rose in his office. “Is there any problem?" Julian asked. “No, I just came here to discuss something with you. I apologize if I'm interrupting your work." Rose said, glancing at the pile of work in front of Julian. “Don't worry, child.

    Julian's mood couldn't help but brighten when he saw her smile. "You are very welcome, Rose. Whatever you need, let me know. I will always try to help you out." Julian replied " I understand. That is all I came to see you for, so I will take my leave so that you can get back to work.” Rose nodded and stood up from her seat and walked towards the door. Just as she was about to open the door, Julian suddenly called her. “Rose, just remember that you are part of this family so never hesitate to tell us your problem." He told her, making the corner of Rose's lip to raise up. “I will keep that in mind, Uncle." She told him before walking out of the study room. ………. The next day, Rose followed the Anderson family to the Anderson family house. Only Nicholas didn't come along with them because he claimed he had something to do. When they arrived at the family house, as expected, Anne quickly snatched Rose away from Karen who was already getting used to Rose. Seeing that Rose was pretty

    "Think properly? Then you must have been playing games like this for a very long time.” Nicholas remarked. “Nope, I only downloaded this game the second day I came back to California.” Rose replied and closed the game after she completed the level and earned her reward. Nicholas raised his brow at her. She only started playing a game as hard as that one just a few weeks ago. ‘How talented she is. She is even better than most of the professional QA tester employees I have at the company.’ He thought. “About what you asked me to do for you, I'm still working on it." He said, making Rose turn to look at him. She knew what he was talking about and it was the secret investigation she asked him to do about Beatrice for her. Of course, she didn't expect to get any result so soon because it might take a little while for him to figure out anything related to Beatrice. She was the only one that knew that Beatrice was the person behind her mother's accident apart from her mother being p

    The next day, Rose had the mindset that it would be a good day at school today. However, fate had other plans for her and her entire peaceful mood was completely ruined that morning. When Rose arrived in the classroom, there were already a lot of students in the room which she felt was very unusual. Upon seeing Rose strut into the classroom, everyone showed a surprised expression. Rose noticed their stares but didn’t care about them. She walked straight to her seat and planned to ask Kehlani what was wrong with everyone. However, she raised her brow when she saw that there were a lot of things that were on her desk. And the things that originally belonged to her had disappeared. Rose brow knitted together as she looked around and finally saw that her belongings were scattered in the trash basket that was placed at the back of the classroom. All of a sudden, the mood of the classroom turned frozen. Rose's eyes fell on Kehlani. “Kel, what happened here?" She asked. “I

    "You little rude brat! This is Senior Nia and shows some respect when you talk to your seniors." One of the lackeys behind Nia yelled at Rose who was unfazed by the yell. “Rude? There is a difference between being rude and asking a question. Besides, I'm not the one walking up to someone and asking their name in that delinquent manner." Rose retorted back to the girls who spoke before turning her attention to Nia. “I heard that someone called Senior Nia was the one who did this to my desk. So I want to ask you directly if it's true and why did you trash my personal space?" Rose question. Unlike the other students, she didn't find any of the girls in front of her scary or intimidating at all. “Yes, I'm the one who did this to your desk. The reason is because you dared to insult and bully my younger sister publicly a few days ago. I was not quickly informed about it but my sister has been in a bad mood ever since then. You should be glad I only did this much, so get lost and don't

    ---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?

    ………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
