Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress Chapter 370
*********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 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

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

………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

---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

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

"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

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

Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress Chapter 388
Beatrice, who had been busy receiving a foot massage from one of the maids, sat up instantly. “What did you just say?” she asked with a surprised expression on her face as she looked at Mary. “Madam , this is not the time to sit down. I think you should go and make an appearance immediately before things get out of hand.” Mary advised Beatrice, who nodded her head in agreement despite the fact that she was still stunned by the news. “Does my husband know about this already?” Beatrice asked as she gestured to the other maid to leave. “I overheard the Head maid instructing the maid to go and inform the Master.” Mary replied. “Alright, let's go.“ Beatrice said and quickly rushed out of the room along with Mary behind her. Just as she stepped out of the room, she met William in the hallway, and he had a sour expression. “Honey, have you heard? Why would they come here at this hour?" she murmured, exchanging a wary glance at her husband. William exhaled sharply. "Only one way to fi

The evening air was crisp as a sleek black car rolled to a stop in front of the imposing Gray Mansion. The headlights cut through the dimly lit driveway before fading as the engine turned off. Paige immediately stepped forward and bowed her head as the people in the car highlighted. “Good evening, Madam Anderson, Mr. Anderson. I'm Paige, the Handmaid of the Gray Family.” She greeted both Anne and Julian in a respectful manner while introducing herself to them. Just before the car arrived, she had received a message from the security guards at the entrance and that was why she was already waiting for them. Anne glanced at Paige before giving her a small nod while Julian gave Paige a quick response. He didn't know Paige but she has always welcomed him warmly with respect anytime he visits the Gray mansion. As Paige led Anne and Julian into the elegant living room of the Gray Mansion, she gestured for them to take a seat. The air was thick with tension, though Anne maintained her u

Just as Rose was busy enjoying her time reading each negative comment on the Gray family, her moment got interrupted when a call notification popped up on her phone screen. Rose frowned slightly at the interrupting but the frown quickly vanished when she saw the caller was none other than Alissa so she immediately answered the call. “Hey Li-" Rose had barely had a chance to greet her before a loud voice exploded from the other end. "ROSELINE GRAY! Do you have any idea how long it’s been since you last called me? Are you alive? Did you forget I exist?" Rose chuckled, holding the phone a little away from her ear. "Hello to you too, Alissa." "Don’t you ‘hello’ me! Three. Whole. Days. Do you know how much can happen in three days? I could’ve been kidnapped, gotten married, or worse—run out of my favorite snacks!" Rose shook her head, amusement flickering in her eyes. "You? Run out of snacks? Impossible. You probably have an entire stockpile hidden under your bed." "That’s not the

Everyone leaned in to see the screen. News articles and social media posts flooded the internet, all centered around the incident at today’s press conference. The video William had tried to suppress had resurfaced, spreading like wildfire. The public was outraged, and the Gray family was being criticized heavily for their treatment of Rose. Karen gasped. “But how? William had this taken down hours ago.” Julian smirked slightly. “Exactly. He tried to take it down. But someone clearly made sure it didn’t stay that way.” Anne’s eyes widened in realization. “You think my Rose had a hand in this?” “I’m not certain,” Nicholas suddenly spoke. “There is someone who is making sure William Gray doesn’t get the last word.” he added, his eyes darkened when he thought of the only person who could do something like that. Karen and Anne exchanged glances. The situation wasn’t as hopeless as they had originally thought, but still, the unease lingered in their hearts. Karen exhaled in relief as

The Anderson Ancestral Mansion was bathed in the soft glow of evening lights as the family gathered in the grand sitting room. After watching the Gray family press conference today, Karen had urged her husband seriously to bring them here and since he originally wanted to see his father about their next plan seeing how the Gray family has treated Rose so he agreed to bring them along. After discussing with his father, both Julian and Frank came down to the living room where Karen, Anne were sitting in the living room. Karen, who had been holding a teacup in her hands, suddenly set it down on the coffee table with a sharp clink. Her face, usually calm, was now etched with frustration "I just can’t keep quiet about this anymore," she said, looking around the table. "What we saw today at the press conference was unacceptable! How can we allow Rose to stay in that house after everything the Gray family has done to her? Did you see how William treated her? Like she was nothing more th

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom of the Gray mansion, William stepped inside to find Beatrice already waiting for him. She was seated on the edge of the bed, her arms crossed as she observed his unusually calm demeanor. Her brow lifted in suspicion the moment their eyes met.“You’re back,” she remarked, standing up and making her way toward him. As she reached him, her hands instinctively moved to help unbutton his shirt. “Did something happen? You seem... different.” Her gaze searched his face for answers.William exhaled as he shrugged off his shirt. “Nothing,” he replied, his tone dismissive. “I just went to clarify a few things with Rose, and it turns out I was worried for nothing. She’s still the same—naïve and foolish as ever.”Beatrice, however, wasn’t convinced. “Honey, are you sure about this?” she pressed, folding her arms. “You saw how things played out today. Someone orchestrated that disaster, and we were humiliated. Who else could have done something like that? And…” She

Edward, who had been observing the conversation silently, finally spoke up. “It’s curious, isn’t it? Alex, of all people, taking notice of a young woman like Rose. Makes you wonder if he sees something the rest of us don’t. You know what I'm saying, Nicholas.” Nicholas’s dark eyes flicked to Edward, colder now. “Alex doesn’t make moves without reason. Whatever he sees, I’ll make sure it doesn’t harm her.” Edward smirked, clearly entertained by Nicholas’s unwavering stance. “You’re serious about this, aren’t you? I didn’t think you’d grow so attached so quickly.” Nicholas ignored the comment. He wasn’t attached. Not emotionally, at least. This wasn’t about sentimentality—it was about principle. Rose was young, yes, but she wasn’t fragile. She had already proven she could hold her own in their world. But Alex was a different matter entirely. Chris sighed dramatically, shaking his head. “You’re not going to stop Alex, are you? I mean, he’s Alex—cold, calculating, and terrifying in h
Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress Chapter 381
The Gray family’s carefully crafted facade was crumbling, and their dirty secrets were being laid bare for the world to see. Victor, seeing that his mother was not taking his side after his pride was hurt, lashed out at both his mother, sister and even the maids in the room, yelling, “Get out! Leave me alone!” Hearing this from her own room, Rose smiled faintly. Despite the pain and humiliation she had endured, the tide was turning in her favor. She let out a sigh, savoring the sense of triumph. “Like they say, An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Betrayal for revenge." Rose mumbled under her breath as she walked towards the dressing table and opened a drawer. “Victor, let's talk–” Beatrice tried to persuade her son to calm down. " I said, leave!" Victor didn't wait for Beatrice to finish talking because he cut her off again. “Mom, let's leave him alone.” Sophia, who was still pissed off at Victor, couldn't stand him anymore so she practically dragged her worried mother out o

Dr. Noah was bewildered to see both Beatrice and Victor beaten, but he dared not utter a word. It was the older daughter who got beaten just a couple of weeks ago, and now it was their turn? What is wrong with this family? He could tell that there is definitely something wrong with this family but he knew his place. He couldn't ask questions so he only ignored his curiosity and did his job. William had been told it was merely bruises and minor cuts, but he insisted the doctor check again thoroughly and ordered him to stay just in case. Though unnecessary, Dr. Noah obeyed. He cleaned the cuts carefully, terrified of making any mistakes as William watched tensely. When he had finished, he glanced at Rose, who sat by Victor’s side looking genuinely worried. He packed his medical kits and then quietly made his exit not without stealing a glance at William. ‘ What a contrast! When his older daughter was injured, he didn’t even ask how she was. Now that it’s his wife and son, he’s sick
