“Assistant Head, did you see this? How can a senior like me have to receive such an insult?" Nia quickly complained to the assistant head of teaching. " That is enough! I will not condone the argument in my presence.” He snapped at both of them before turning to look at Rose. The assistant Head
Other than scattering, there was nothing else that could be done. After all, Crystal Lake Academy had no rules that didn’t allow students to bring candy to school. The assistant Head of Teaching was planning to leave. However, Rose still had something to say. “Also, my book was thrown by someone
And thus, the assistant Head of Teaching said with a straight face, “Do I need you to tell me this? Of course, I know how to check the surveillance. However, I wanted to give this student the opportunity to own up to their mistakes.” Rose nodded and said, “That’s fine. If the student does not own
When Nia heard what was said, she started getting nervous. If the assistant Head of Teaching were to go watch the surveillance, she would definitely be exposed. While she was anxious, she cursed at Rose in her mind. ‘This vicious, callous brat is evil! She knew watching the surveillance would caus
And if it were to be followed through, there was nothing else that could be done. Nia raised the corners of her lips and gave Rose a provocative look. Rose continued to stay calm and said to the assistant Head of Teaching, “The time of the incident was within seven days. The retention of surveil
“I will get another badge and set of new books tomorrow." She told them. miserable! Everyone in the class remained silent. Even Kehlani couldn't say anything because she wasn't there when it happened. She only heard from one student but since the people who were there when it happened won't say
After Nia and her gang left the classroom, Kehlani took the initiative to ask Rose. “Rose, I’ll help you pick up the books at the back of the classroom. They’ll be needed in class later on.” “There’s no need.” Rose held the ‘scalpel’ candy in her mouth. She loved to eat sweets. Since she had alrea
The assistant Head of Teaching instructed everyone in the class and urged the class leader to lead the class for the readings. After doing so, he left in a hurry. He didn’t want to look at Rose any longer. Doing so just made him angry. Nia had a ball of fire in her heart. She felt as though she wa
--- 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
