" Honestly, I felt the same. Sometimes, I get the feeling that I'm conversing with an adult rather than a teenager.” Nancy also added." Let's both work hard to find out the source then. You can go back so that you don't keep your guests waiting for too long.” Mr. Reyes told Nancy when they arrived at his car.“Alright then, please have a safe trip back." Nancy nodded her head and bowed at Mr. Reyes before turning back to the elevator.Rose, on the other hand, had finished calling Paige and told her that she was okay. After hanging up the call, she decided to continue playing her game while waiting for Nancy to come back.A few minutes later, the door opened and Nancy strolled back into the office. “I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, Rose." She said in an apologetic tone as she sat down in front of Rose.“It's okay. Thanks to my little friend here, I was not bored as you can see." Rose casually waved the phone screen which she was using to play a game at Nancy.Nancy couldn't help bu
“Let’s see what this flash drive contains.” she mumbled under her breath as she tied her hair up into a messy bun and switched on the laptop.She opened the box that was given to her and took out the flash drive in it and inserted it into her laptop. A few moments later she was able to find the files that were on the flashdrive which consisted of a copy of her mother's will and some other business documents that her mother had placed under name. However, even though she could see the copy of all the properties, she was still unable to inherit it until she passed the two conditions that were written. That is she can inherit half of the properties and access to the will when twenty years old, the other condition to fully have full inheritance is when she is married for four years.Ruby had prepared this for her daughter before she died and after she found that William was cheating on her. At first, she made sure to secure all of her wealth and prosperities in her daughter's name, includ
She was not aware of the family named Anderson in her past life at all and this is technically her first time hearing their name. “Young Miss, if like you said that madam had asked you to look for them in her letter. I think you should go and look for them yourself, now that the Master isn't around to monitor your movement.” Paige suggested again. She had seen the multiple times when William had single handedly chased the person that Anderson family sent to ask about Rose. She didn't know why or the reason but she was sure that William was trying to hide Rose from them because he wanted something. It was at that time Paige suspected that there was something going on.“Thank you for this information. I will definitely find them tomorrow after I close from school so please be expecting me to come late tomorrow as well." Rose nodded, even without being told she would definitely look for this Anderson family before William comes back from his two day business trip.“In that case, I will
When they arrived at school, Rose directly went into her classroom and headed to her seat next to Kehlani who was already sitting in her seat. “You're here already, Rose." Kehlani remarked, immediately Rose sat down.“I almost got late though.” Rose calmly replied as she placed her bag on the table." It's your second so you can relax a bit.” Kehlani told Rose with a small smile on her face." Thank you." Rose grinned at Kehlani who blushed and looked away which made Rose raise a brow at her deskmate’s behavior. Did Kehlani just blushed because she grinned at her?“I have something to collect from the teacher. I'm coming." Kehlani suddenly stood up like she just remembered something and quickly rushed out of the classroom before their homeroom teacher entire their classroom.Rose watched Kehlani leave the classroom before turning her attention back to her bag and bringing out a few books that would be needed. A few minutes later, Kehlani came back and sat down on her seat. Just as s
Rose wasn't paying any attention to the girls. After what Kehlani had said she just turned her mind back to her food. However, she saw Tori knocking on the table but chose to ignore it.“Hey! How can you be this rude? Didn't you hear me?” Tori slammed her hand on the table. She was always quick to lose her temper and eight now she couldn't stand how Rose was ignoring her.Everyone looked at Rose who was calmly eating her food. ‘Can I have a peaceful day without having to deal with annoying pricks and kids that have been spoiled rotten by their families? ‘ Rose complained in her mind. For a second she was able to have a peaceful lunch with minimum eyes on her, but the kids here have just come to ruin it. Reason? She doesn't know what their problem is. She really hates having to deal with attention like this.“I heard that she just arrived from another country, so she is obviously being rude to us." One of Tori's lackeys commented in a voice loud for the students to hear.The students
"Oh right! Here... take this. This is the calling card and address of my etiquette teacher when I was 5. My mother was the one who invited her for me but I still have her contact. She will teach you some of the things you lack. Don’t worry about the bill. I will pay everything for you. Okay?" Rose said while giving Tori a sweet innocent smile. Tori stared at the business card in front of her and lost her cool. “Are you crazy?! What did you mean by giving me that god-damned card?! Is this some joke to you crazy bitch, huh?!!" Tori slammed her hand on the table and got as she yelled furiously at Rose.“Seriously, Tori?" A voice suddenly spoke from behind and everyone turned their attention to see Sandra walking in.“Senior Sandra." Tori, who also turned around, called her gently.“Rose, why are you sitting here and letting this spoiled child spitting on you?" Sandra ignored Tori and stood in front of Kehlani but her eyes were on Rose." I was just trying to introduce help to her but s
She unlocked the screen and saw a message with Sophia's name on it. “Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Rose mumbled to herself before clicking to open the message. Sophia: Sister, I hope you won't be mad at me. I have a place I need to go to and I don't want the rain to fall and catch me on the way so I asked the driver to take me. Please, use the same means you used yesterday to get home. “You've got to be kidding me!" The corner of Rose's lips twitched in anger. “Crazy, sly bitch. Just wait and see! I have prepared a gift for you once William comes back.” She mumbled. ‘And I remember assuring Aunty Paige that bitch wouldn't ditch me off at school. So I'm going to use the public transportation back home, huh? Anyways, I do have a place to be today as well so it's a good thing.’ Rose thought to herself and the image of what happened between her and Tori at the cafeteria popped into her head. ‘I guess she is trying to take revenge for her friends, huh? How loyal! You should
Is it worth it? For a man that doesn't even love you? Is it worth it? No. Never! There isn't anyone in the world that you can't live without! When you don't even love yourself, how do you expect others to love you? And if others don't love you, you should love yourself more! ‘This is so messed up! It would have been much better if I had a different father than William. I wouldn't be hunting for revenge like a lost and hungry beast.’ Rose thought to herself. There was one thing she was still confused about her mother's death. She couldn't say or point out the real reason but she knew something was wrong with her mother's death apart from Beatrice being the one to cause the accident. ‘That’s right, I have to investigate what happened that day as well and dig out Beatrice's connection. That crazy woman looks docile on the outside but definitely has some connections.’ She had almost forgotten that Beatrice was the one who planned her mother's accident. Rose was lost in her own thou
“Yes, that's true, I've only seen Sophia around but not your oldest first daughter.” Mrs. Will interfered when she too heard Mrs. Phillip’s question. She planned to ask Beatrice because she had been looking around for Rose but couldn't find her. “Thank God, I thought I was the only one who missed seeing that cute loveable child. Where did you say she is, Beatrice?” Mrs. Phillip asked again despite knowing that Beatrice hadn't replied yet. Beatrice smiled at both Mrs. Phillip and Mrs. Will. ‘You crazy two bitches. I'm already prepared for you.’ she thought to herself. She was aware that these two women were nothing but trouble, that's why she prepared herself for them since she had no choice but to invite them to her little party. “Oh, well, my poor Rose has a fever and is staying in bed. I told her not to come outside because of the cold weather and her fever could worsen.” She calmly answered. “Oh dear, is Rose okay? Why didn't you let us know beforehand." Mrs. Phillip worriedly
Once, Rose had believed that Beatrice cared for her. She had believed in her kindness, thinking that maybe Beatrice did see her as a daughter. But now, she saw through the facade. Beatrice wasn’t protecting her. She was merely covering for her son, brushing away his actions as though they were minor inconveniences. Each word of Beatrice’s “comfort” felt like salt in a wound. Still in pain and unable to walk comfortably, Rose was confined to her bed. Though Rose's leg had healed more than she portrayed it to everyone, it was also part of her plan. During her confinement, Rose constantly talked with Nicholas and gave him directions on the things she wanted him to do with the security video she asked him to find. Although he could fairly guess what his little cousin was up to, Nicholas was still confused about how she was planning all this in her little head. Yet, despite her stepdaughter’s state, Beatrice's grand birthday party carried on as planned. The house bustled with preparatio
The next day, Rose received a call from Theresa in the morning, telling her to visit the store because of something important. Rose actually thought it was something that wouldn't take time so she lied to Beatrice who was at home that she was going to her friend's place. As expected, Beatrice didn't probe too much and let Rose leave. It was only when Rose got there did she realize that it was going to take a while for her to finish up with the meeting so she tried to rush things up. Nancy sent a text message to Rose when she was having a meeting with Theresa, in order to inform Rose that she would soon be arriving at the location of the first house on Rose's list. Nancy wanted Rose to be present personally, so that she can be able to negotiate some of the terms with the real estate agent. Rose would have loved to attend the meeting but it was impossible since her meeting with Theresa wasn't over yet. As a result, she had no other choice but to text Nancy and told her to carry on w
“That is an excellent choice. I will give the estate manager incharge of these properties a call tonight and we can meet at the location to sign the complete deal.” Nancy suggested. Rose easily agrees to Nancy's term since she found the suggestion acceptable.“That's fine by me. I'll meet you there tomorrow morning.” “Yes, but that is not the case here. I don't think it's wise for you to go out again tomorrow with how you look." She added as she looked at Rose who tilted her head to the side. There is no way she wanted Rose to walk around with that face again tomorrow. Today was a mistake because she didn't know what happened to her.“Are you worried about me, big sister? Don't because I am fine. Besides, I need to handle this before it gets late because I will be needing it soon." Rose replied, giving a reassuring smile at Nancy.“I know but I still think you should get better first, huh? You have to care about yourself more." Nancy argued, despite knowing that Rose was right. Howe
When they arrived at their destination, Rose told Luthor to wait for her while she headed to the restaurant entrance.Immediately she entered the restaurant, she sighted Nancy sitting at one of the tables by the window so she made her way there while trying to control herself from limping too much.“I'm sorry for making you wait for me, sister Nancy." Rose said as she stood in front of the table.“Oh dear, Rose what happened to your face?” Nancy looked up when she heard Rose's voice ready to greet her with a smile but she was shocked when she saw Rose.Rose gave Nancy a smile before taking her seat in front of her. “It's nothing serious, I just got into a little accident but I'm healing now." She replied.“You should have told me about this, I wouldn't have accepted us to meet today. Are you sure you're okay coming out like this?" Nancy worriedly asked. “I am, don't worry about me." Rose nodded her head at Nancy but it wasn't enough to make the woman stop worrying about her. She was
………..The next day, Rose was unable to go to school because of injuries. After everyone had left the mansion, Rose picked up her phone and called Luthor to get the car ready for her.Well, the Gray family thought she would be unable to go out but that wasn't true, she had got appointments with Nancy who was already waiting for her at the restaurant they were supposed to meet.A few minutes later, Rose stepped out of her building fully dressed in all black clothes and backpack. Luthor, who was already waiting for her, stepped out of the driver seat and opened the back seat door for her.“Are you sure you should be going out in that condition?" Luthor asked as he drove out of the mansion. Earlier he had watched Rose limp into the car when he hadn't taken his eyes off her. Even as she sat in the car pressing her cellphone his gaze constantly fell on her bruised face and leg.Rose looked up from her phone and glanced at the driver seat. “Yes. It's important. And I told you not to have th
Beatrice was caught off guard when she heard Rose. How was she supposed to reply to that?Seeing her mother in a difficult situation to come up with something to say, Sophia tugged Rose's hand. “Sister, don't think like that. Ever since you left and mom found out that Victor chased you out, mom scolded him really really badly on your behalf." As a sweet-talker, Sophia expected her tricks to work on Roes who smiled at her and pretended like she never did anything earlier. It almost looked like she was a robot that was being rubbotted.Ah, yes. But it seems like my scolding isn't enough for him. I will make sure to seek punishment for him from your father when he comes back. My darling, I'm sorry for coming so late." Beatrice took the opportunity crested by her daughter and came up with something quickly.Rose smiled upon seeing how mother and daughter keep trying to come up with an excuse to cover for each other. Not wanting to drag on seeing their faces, Rose lied that she wanted to
Rose, who was busy taking her nap, frowned when she felt the presence in her room. ‘I should have locked that door earlier.’“Sister, wake up. It's me, Sophia." Sophia persistently shook Rose's body, making her groan in pain at how tight Sophia's grip was.“It hurts, Sophia.” Rose mumbled as she gently pushed Sophia's hand away and sat up on the bed." Oh, I'm sorry. Mother and I were just so excited and happy when we heard that you're back." Sophia quickly apologized as she sat beside Rose on the bed."Roseline, dear. Why did you do that? Do you have any idea how worried I was when I heard that you left the mansion? Your father got angry at me because of that.” Beatrice suddenly ranted as she looked at Rose with a fake worried expression on her face.“Mother, I didn't leave just like that. I had no choice but to listen to Victor when he chased me out because I didn't want him to get more angry with me." Rose replied as she looked up at Beatrice. Honestly, she wasn't really in the moo
Just as she was about to go inside, the gates opened and another car which belonged to Beatrice drove in as well, making Sophia pause.“Sophia, what are you doing outside still dressed like that?"Beatrice questioned as she stepped out of the car along with Victor. She had a scowl on her face when she saw her daughter still dressed the same way she had dressed when she left this morning.“I just got back home now." Sophia casually replied to her mother. “And before you scold me, I went out with my friends after school so I was late because of that." She quickly added, knowing what her mother might say next.“Mom, stop looking at Sophia like that. She is old enough to hang out with her friends, isn't she?” Victor suddenly Interjected while winking at his sister who smiled at him for his help.“I know, I just want you to be careful sometimes." As expected, Beatrice couldn't win against her children and softened her gaze at Sophia.“Mommy, did you get that picture of the dress I sent to y
