Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress Chapter 324
******** Normally, people are supposed to fall asleep immediately when they lay on a soft, feathery bed like this one, however, Rose was different. It's been three hours now and her eyes refused to close no matter how she tried to. This was the same thing that happened to her the first time she visited the Anderson family mansion. “Now, I understand my problem. I can't sleep in a place I'm not used to." Rose mumbled. In her past life, she always stayed locked up in the Gray mansion and never socialized. She never had sleepovers with friends in the past so it's normal for to feel uncomfortable in a place she isn't used to. It was the same thing that happened at the Anderson family mansion but she actually thought it was because she was nervous then. After turning around a few more times, Rose stood up from the bed and glanced at the clock and saw that it was eleven o'clock, almost midnight. She ventured downstairs, the need for water drawing her out of her room. The house, as grand

“Water. I'm thirsty." She replied.Alex gave a small nod, an acknowledgment that was both curt and yet oddly reassuring.“The kitchen is over there. You should rest soon,” He said, his voice even, with no trace of the previous intensity.Rose blinked, slightly caught off guard by the simple, almost mundane comment. “Right,” she replied softly. She continued down the stairs, her steps cautious, as if not wanting to disturb the fragile peace between them.As she reached the bottom of the staircase, Alex had already returned to his phone call. His attention had shifted away from her, and she felt herself breathe easier now that the moment had passed. Yet the weight of his presence still lingered in the back of her mind, like a faint echo that wouldn’t quite fade.Rose moved toward the kitchen, where a tall, glass pitcher of water sat on the counter. Pouring herself a glass, she leaned against the marble countertop, her thoughts swirling. Why had she felt such tension just from one glanc

Unaware of Alex's inner turmoil, Rose answered his other questions truthfully, though she occasionally glanced at him to gauge his reactions. It was as if she were trying to read him, to understand what lay behind his calm and composed exterior. His heart softened a bit as he watched her, realizing that despite the strength and self-reliance she displayed, there was still something of a child in her. Someone who had experienced too much too soon, but who still harbored a quiet hope. Her hesitations faded as their conversation continued, her guarded demeanor gradually relaxing a bit.“Do you want me to handle it for you?" Alex asked.“No! I didn't tell you this so that you can help. I only answered your questions and now that you know, don't interfere in my business." Rose sternly said and rejected his help offer.Alex frowned a bit, he was a little bit surprised by her refusal. This is the first time someone has rejected him or his help and it was by a little girl. But the refusal

But before she could press him for more, he stood up, the moment passing as quickly as it had come. The warmth in his expression faded, replaced by his usual cool demeanor. "You should go to your room and rest," he said, his tone returning to its normal, measured calm. “Whatever you have to say, say it tomorrow." He added, knowing that she still had something she wanted to say to him. And with that, he turned and left the living room, leaving Rose sitting there, a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her. She exhaled softly before standing up and returned to her room, Rose lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, her mind too restless for sleep. Jiang Shuxuan’s words lingered in the air around her, refusing to settle. There was something unsettling in what he had said, and though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it, she didn't like it. The room, though grand and comfortable, suddenly felt too large, too quiet. The walls seemed to close in on her, the silence becoming heavy. S

Hearing Lara's voice, it was at that moment Rose realized that she was not in the Gray mansion. For a moment, she mistook Lara for Paige back at home.“Good morning, Miss Lara." Rose pushed the cover and sat up on the bed and greeted Lara in a lazy, husky voice.The smile on Lara's face immediately disappeared when she saw Rose's expression. “Young Miss, did you sleep late last night?" Rose turned to look at Lara when she heard her question." Sort off. I was unable to sleep early yesterday night. How did you know that I slept late, Mrs Lara?" She asked."I could tell by the way your eyes looked. Though it's not very visible but I can see the eye bag underneath your eyes.” Lara explained as she waved at the maid to drop the new set of clothes they had brought for Rose and take their leave.Rose nodded her head with a faint smile when she heard Lara's explanation.“Young Miss, this is a new set of clothes for you to change into and here is the ointment you need to apply on your face.

“Good morning, miss. I'm here to bring you to the dining room." The maid greeted with a warm smile on her face, immediately she saw the gorgeous young girl before her.Rose nodded and closed the door behind her and followed the maid.By the time she got to the dining room and sat down on one of the chairs, the maids quickly served the dishes before they went back to their position. Rose didn't eat immediately as she kept glancing at the entrance, waiting for someone to walk in.After waiting for a short while and there were no traces of the so-called person she was waiting for, Rose decided to eat before the food ran cold. “Young Miss, I hope the meal was to your liking?" Lara asked as she walked into the room after Rose was done eating. She gestured to the rest of the maids to clear the table. “Is there anything you don't like in the dish? What about the things you don’t like to eat? Are you allergic to some food so that I can inform the chef about it?" She asked. It was obvious tha

" I can do it by myself. Don't worry, Mrs. Lara. I have a very sharp brain. It will be easy for me to quickly memorize where I'm going so I can't get lost. There is no need to disturb the maid.” Rose confidently replied with a smile that made Lara melt when she saw the smile on her face.She was confident to not get lost thinking that this was a normally built house that was why she refused to let a maid follow her. But she was wrong.After she confidently told Lara that she can take care of herself, Lara decided to let her do whatever she liked and she merely went on exploring the house. However, that was the case. The problem at hand was that she had been pacing at one spot for the past ten minutes and she was so confused that she didn't know where to go or even where she was coming from.“I'm lost? I can not believe that I got lost after telling Mrs. Lara that I can't get lost.” Rose muttered a let out a sigh at her own stubbornness.Just as Rose was thinking of what to do in her s

She set the letter down carefully, her mind racing. What did it mean? Who had written it? And why did it feel like it was speaking directly to her? She knew this letter was for her but she felt like it was for her.Suddenly, the room felt colder, and Rose froze when she felt the cold, chilling aura behind her.“What are you doing here?" Alex's cold voice rang out in the room as he stared back at the girl in the library with a frown.When he came back and asked about where Rose was, Lara told him she was exploring the house but he didn't expect to see her here in his library. Was this where she was exploring when there are other places in the house to explore.Rose gulped and slowly turned around only to see him standing by the door side with a scowl on his face. “You're back?" She asked. " Yes. Answer my question.” Alex replied."Mrs. Lara said I can explore the house but I got lost at some point then walked into this room. I apologize if this is a personal place.” Rose gave a brief

"Shut up!” Victor snapped sharply, his voice quivering with rage. The injustice he felt burned like a firestorm inside him. “They beat me up! They should be begging for my forgiveness! I’m going to sue them all and throw them in jail!” His eyes blazed as he glared at the crowd, his words venomous. “How dare you mess with me? You’re all dead!” The crowd erupted into sneers and laughter. “If anything happens to us, the world will know it’s the Grays who did it,” someone retorted. “You’ll face justice soon enough.” Another voice chimed in, “Miss Rose Gray, it’s pointless to be kind to people like them. They don’t know the meaning of gratitude!” “They’re heartless,” a third agreed. “The more you tolerate them, the worse they’ll treat you.” “Some people are just born wicked,” an older man said, shaking his head. “Victor Gray is the perfect example.” Rose, standing at the center of the storm, glanced at Victor with a faint trace of pity. She sighed softly and said, “But he’s still my

The Gray couple stood devastated, their carefully constructed façade crumbling under the weight of the truth. William seemed to freeze, his face twitching with barely restrained fury. For a moment, he looked like a man teetering on the brink of madness. How can I possibly agree? Everyone is watching and listening. But those shares are mine. MINE. Rose kept her gaze fixed on the floor, her shoulders hunched like a frightened lamb. Her small frame trembled slightly, evoking pity from the onlookers. Poor girl. The crowd whispered amongst themselves. Born into wealth but treated like an outcast in her own family. Even her own father uses her without hesitation. Beatrice’s fists were clenched so tightly her nails dug into her palms. Her mind was racing. No. We can’t give those shares back. They’re ours. Sophia’s and Victor’s future depend on them. She can’t take them from us! Sophia stood frozen, her face burning with suppressed anger. Yet, she dared not speak, remembering the backla

"How could a father steal from his own daughter? Or is she not even considered his daughter?” “Is the Gray Corporation really that desperate now?” Outraged whispers spread among the crowd. Some female reporters expressed their disgust. “Do you only see your son as your child? What about your daughter? This is outrageous!” Someone chimed in, “He surely cares for his daughter, it all just depends on which daughter you're referring to. And it's obvious that you mean Sophia. Look at her outfit! That dress alone is worth more than $100,000, and her jewelry must cost a fortune of a million. However , look at the poor Miss Roseline Gray…” All eyes turned to Rose, and the difference was undeniable. “My God, it seems like the ex-wife’s daughter hasn't been treated well.” “It’s clear who gets the love and resources in this family…” Beatrice Gray’s face tightened as she realized the shift in the room’s mood, but it was too late. Sophia, unable to contain her anger, stood up and snapped a

It was a speech prepared and arranged for Rose to deliver, and it would have sounded far more convincing if she had done so. However, Rose had stayed quiet the entire time, leaving William Gray with no choice but to do it himself."Fake? Photoshop? That’s the best explanation you can offer? Ridiculous! Do you think we’re so blind that we can’t tell the difference between fake and real? Does he truly think we’re stupid?"Some reporters exchanged skeptical glances, their pens pausing mid-sentence. The crowd seemed to share the same sentiment, murmuring in agreement, except for a small group of reporters.Before the other reporters had the chance to challenge him, a few voices rang out from the front row.“Mr. Gray is absolutely correct," one reporter said with exaggerated conviction. "The video lacks credibility. It's easy to manipulate footage these days, especially with advanced editing software."Another voice quickly added, "I agree. It’s well-edited, but if you look closely, you

---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
