“Ouch!" Tegan let out a small cry of pain as she rubbed the place Rose had smacked. “Young girl, I will be generous enough to you as a mature adult. Give me that dress and I give any amount you want to get yourself another one. But I want that particular dress.” After rubbing her hand , she quickl
At that same moment, Tegan also got to the counter and she saw Brian beside Rose. “Brian, what do you mean by breakup? Are you breaking up with me because of this brat? Is that it?" Tegan yelled furiously as she pointed at Rose who didn't even bother to look back at her. “I told you to stop it,
Rose paused for a few seconds. She could tell that she was sincere, and at the same time she could sense the desperation in her voice but she didn't have the time to dwell on it. "I understand. I will be there in a few minutes.” Rose agreed without arguing. Since she knew the manager was just doin
A few other security guards nearby also walked to where the commotion was happening. Seeing how the situation was escalating, Rose let out a frustrated sigh. ‘A peaceful day out without drama. I will be thankful for that.’ she thought. Currently she was really angry with a lot of things and maybe it
“Hello, Miss Gray. It's a pleasure to have you call me so soon. Is there anything I can do to assist you?” The manager happily asked. She was unaware of the fact that her voice was echoing throughout the entire lobby. The moment the staff member and the security guards heard the voice coming from
After hearing Rose's response, the manager gasped and quickly lowered her upper body, bowing respectfully to Rose under the watchful gaze of everyone. She remembered her mentor telling her to always show utmost respect towards whoever comes and claims to be Mrs. Gray's daughter. She disregarded th
“The first time Mrs. Gray opened an account with us, her funds were worth a Gold credit card. However, over the years that no one had come to claim it , the funds she kept were increasing and we usually received depositing alerts which were from the profit of the investment Mrs Gray had invested int
" You have nothing to be sorry for. And I appreciate you thinking that I'm beautiful.” Rose finally stopped laughing and said to Nancy who blushed in embarrassment. " I only told the truth and everyone who sees you thinks the same too.” Nancy retorted. “Thank you and you're also beautiful, siste
--- 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
……… 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
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
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
********* 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
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 f
--- 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,
‘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 cra
"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. Fo
