He immediately announced to everyone else in the meeting room, "We'll talk more another time. Meeting dismissed."Sebastian straightened out his jacket and left the meeting room. He immediately headed to the lobby with a few bodyguards in tow.Justin stood waiting at the entrance, with the baby in his arms. Sebastian approached him with his entourage and demanded, "Justin Lynch, what do you want?"Justin immediately stuffed Steve in Sebastian's arms. "Take care of him and don't let any strangers near him. If you care about Rose, protect her baby well."Sebastian furrowed his brows and looked at him suspiciously. "What are you doing? Where's Rose?""Something has happened to her. She's in Yerick Zeller's hands, and I've got to find her. You should too. Use any resources you can get your hands on."Justin pulled out a thumb drive from his pocket. "Rose installed pinhole cameras in her apartment. These are the footage I managed to retrieve. Take a look at them. I'm off to find h
"Rose," Yerick said as he pulled out a gadget from his pocket. "Do you see this?"He then pointed at his throat, on which a tiny wound could be seen. "Do you see this, too?"He went on, "This little thing was implanted in my throat, and I can imitate any voice I want. I invented it myself. Aren't I smart? Rose, do you want me to implant this in your throat, too?"Yerick drew closer to her as he spoke."Don't come close," Rosalie said, but she couldn't retreat any further. "I don't want that thing inside me!""Oh, I see. I won't force you, Rose. Come eat.""Yerick, who exactly are you? What's your motive for getting close to me?"Yerick looked down and sighed. "Since you're bent on knowing the upsetting truth, I'll tell you. Yes, I deliberately tried to get close to you. I'm Wesley Spencer's illegitimate son."Rosalie was very shocked. "You're his illegitimate son? Who's your mother?""My mother, haha…" Yerick chuckled, and told Rosalie about her.Rosalie fell silent after hea
"You saved him?" Rosalie scoffed. "The cheek of you to say that! You shot him in his chest—I saw it myself! Theo was lucky that he managed to survive.""Rose, oh Rose. You're really too naive. Did you forget? You chose for me to injure Theodore and protect Sebastian. Why are you blaming me now? If you were worried about Theodore dying, you shouldn't have made that choice at that time.""Enough!" Rosalie yelled furiously. "You were clearly the despicable one who threatened me! You were the one who made things turn out this way so everyone would suffer and be in pain, and now you're trying to shift the blame on me?""Rose, what I wanted to tell you was that you should have chosen to let Sebastian get injured.""None of them should have been injured! Yerick, you're wicked through and through!""Me, wicked? Hahaha…" Yerick laughed out loud. He pounced on Rosalie and pressed her against the window sill, his hands gripping her shoulders so hard, they almost crushed her bones."Rose, yo
"Justin took Steve away. He wanted to hand the baby to Theodore, but Theodore is in the emergency room right now after having met with an accident. He handed the child to Sebastian."There was a lot of information in Yerick's words.Justin had returned and taken the baby away. Rosalie felt relieved to hear that, but she became anxious again upon learning that Theodore was in an accident."Theo was in an accident? How is he? Is he still alive?""So worried about him?" Yerick said as he cleared the dishes. "Rose, that makes me sad.""Yerick, quit acting! It's all your fault he met with an accident. You forced me to say those words to agitate him!" Rosalie glared at him. "You maliciously caused his accident!""Rose, just look at you. You're not worried about your child anymore and are worried about Theodore instead. You're always worried about others when you should be worried about yourself instead.""Yerick, why do you know so many things?""I lied to you about many things, but
Curled up under the covers, Rosalie Young gently caressed her belly. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief.Thankfully, the baby was okay.When he came home last night, Theodore Spencer had wanted to be intimate. As the couple hadn't seen each other for two months, Rosalie couldn't bear to refuse him.Theodore had already woken up and washed up. He was wearing a gray custom suit that perfectly fit his tall and slender body, giving him an elegant and charming air. Currently, he was sitting in a chair with a tablet in hand. His fingers slid gracefully across the screen, exuding a hint of laziness and sensuality.Rosalie was wrapped tightly in the blanket with only her head exposed.When Theodore noticed her staring at him, he calmly asked, "Are you awake? Let's have breakfast.""Okay."Rosalie put on her pajamas, blushing as she crawled out of bed.In the dining room, Rosalie kept pushing her food around her plate as she caressed her belly with one hand. After a while, she
Rosalie lowered her head, smiling bitterly.What else could she ask for? She was sure she had exhausted all the luck in her life to get a chance to marry the man before her.Her parents were ordinary employees at SK Enterprise. They had been trapped in the control room during a fire, but had managed to shut down the critical systems before they died. Their actions prevented the release of toxic substances and avoided more casualties.The media had reported on the incident for several days straight, sharing recordings of her parents' last conversation with the outside world.Orphaned at the age of ten, Rosalie was taken in by her aunt, who was the only option available. However, the woman smoked, drank, and gambled. A year later, Rosalie’s aunt squandered all the money SK Enterprise had given the young girl to compensate for the loss of her parents.When Rosalie was eleven years old, her aunt dumped her at the doorstep of SK Enterprise.Clutching her backpack tightly to her chest,
"I didn't mean it that way," Rosalie snapped, feeling a bit angry.If she had meant it like that, she wouldn’t have let him touch her last night, especially since she was pregnant.Without saying anything else, Theodore carried her back to the bedroom and placed her gently on the bed. His movements were tender and caring, causing Rosalie to desperately hold back her tears.As he straightened her clothes, his large hands inadvertently brushed against her belly. Rosalie's heart skipped a beat. She quickly grabbed his hand and pushed it away. Her lower abdomen was still very flat, but instinctively, she felt guilty and was worried about being discovered.Theodore paused at her actions. "What's wrong?"Was she not letting him touch her now because they were about to get a divorce?"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well and am feeling a bit dizzy," Rosalie explained, giving an excuse."Shall I call a doctor? You don't look too good."Theodore reached out and touched her forehead. S
"Yes, I still see you as a brother, just like you see me as a sister."Rosalie's throat grew increasingly tight, to the point where she could hardly produce another sound. If she could, she would have lifted the covers and rushed into his arms.She would tearfully tell him, "I've never seen you as a brother. I love you!"Instead, she restrained herself from doing something so pathetic. His heart belonged to another woman. Since that was the case, why should she lower herself and beg him like that?"That's good. Now, you can find a man you truly love,” Theodore said calmly with a faint smile.Rosalie's heart ached painfully again, but she forced a smile. "Yeah... That's great."Theodore could openly be with his first love now."Rose," he suddenly called out."Yeah?" Rosalie managed to reply in a strained tone."I..." Theodore suddenly stopped.Rosalie remained silent as she waited for him to continue."I'm leaving first. Get some rest, okay?"With that, Theodore turned and l

There was footage of the man called Yerick coming here today.Justin watched on, and his face darkened with fierce anger. He clenched his fists and his knuckles cracked as he gnashed his teeth with fury.He saw Rosalie being forced to leave the baby at home, and then taking a pill before collapsing on the floor. When the man took her away, she secretly pressed the police alarm before they exited.Although the police came after that, the man somehow managed to force Rosalie to tell the policeman that she was fine.Why did Yerick do that?Rosalie said he was only 19 years old and a mere boy who saw her as an older sister. They were very close, like true siblings.But now, it was clear to Justin that this man had an ulterior motive and was vicious in his ways. He didn't seem like an ordinary person at all.From the looks of it, Yerick didn't seem to want to kill Rosalie.No… Justin had to find Rosalie. She was surely in danger in the hands of that man.But what about Steve?Just
Justin called Rosalie's phone, only to find it switched off.His brows knitted tighter as a sense of foreboding washed over him.She was in contact with the police just a moment ago. Why was her phone switched off now? He couldn't believe that Rosalie would go out and leave her child alone at home. She wouldn't be that careless.The baby's cries were becoming louder and louder, as if something had happened.Justin was very anxious, but he still didn't know the passcode to the door.However, he had to enter the apartment, by hook or by crook.Justin looked around to check that no one was around before pulling out his gun. He attached a silencer, aimed the muzzle at the door lock, and shot it twice.The lock was destroyed, and Justin managed to open the door. Before he even stepped in, he saw Steve sprawled on the floor, crying hysterically.Justin rushed forward, and suddenly, an electric net fell from the ceiling.Quick as lightning, Justin tumbled on the floor and avoided the
Ten minutes later, the police came to Rosalie's house.Rosalie had engaged a professional company to install a police alarm system in her house. In case anything were to happen, pressing the button would alert the nearest police station.She pressed the button right before she left the house, and the police rushed over the moment they received the call. However, after pressing the doorbell many times, they received no response from inside.They even tried calling Rosalie's phone, but she didn't answer it.Justin stepped out of the elevator with a bouquet of fresh flowers, excited and eager to see Rosalie again. Yet, when he approached the door, he saw a few policemen standing outside.Justin immediately hid in a corner.What was the police doing here?Did Chandra decide to pursue the matter after all?However, Rosalie told him that the matter was considered over and that he shouldn't worry. He could come back with peace of mind.Justin naturally didn't think that Rosalie would
"Yerick, I'll do anything you ask of me, but don't hurt Steve. He's just a baby, and he knows nothing. Spare him, please.""I was intending to spare him. Put the baby on the bed, quick! Or I'll kill him!" Yerick yelled warningly, losing patience.Rosalie kissed Steve's cheek and tearily placed him on the bed. "What exactly do you want?""Rose, let's leave this place. There are way too many disgusting people around. I'll take you away somewhere where it's just the two of us.""Where are you taking me to?"Yerick pulled out a bottle of pills from his pocket. He twisted it open, took a pill, and presented it to Rosalie. "Take this.""What is this?" Rosalie asked."Don't worry, it won't kill you. It'll make you lose consciousness for a while to make it easier for me to take you away.""What about Steve? What will you do to him?" Rosalie asked with concern."Rose, didn't you ask me to spare him? I promise you that you can leave Steve at home while you come with me.""How could I d
Pain shot up Theodore's chest. "Why did you suddenly say that?""Nothing. I just suddenly felt like saying so. Just don't hold out any hopes for me."Yerick added in hushed whispers, "Tell him you hate him, you don't want to see him, and that he disgusts you."Rosalie shook her head, not wanting to say those words.Yerick gritted his teeth and pointed the gun at Steve. "Will you say that or not?"Rosalie jumped in fright and immediately said to Theodore, "I hate you, I don't want to see you, and I think you're disgusting."Rosalie clearly sounded agitated.Theodore was stunned.Just then, Yerick added again, "Tell him that he's a useless man who can't satisfy you at all. His skills in bed are horrid, and you're never satisfied. You feel much better with other men after you divorced him."Rosalie gritted her teeth as tears fell down her cheeks. She glared furiously at Yerick—he was despicable! She trusted him so much and treated him like a brother. He had acted so pure, innocen
