She was wrong.He hated her strongly, he loathed her background, and he despised the fact that she could not see how lowly her status was.In the end, she was destined to become a joke in his heart from the moment she approached him.Rose left the steps and loitered along the busy streets in the city.After walking for a long time, her heart gradually quieted down.A stubborn feeling was boiling within her soul. She refused to admit defeat. The reason why Jay was looking down on her was that she did not have a proper job and substantial financial security.Financial security was the determiner for climbing up the social ladder. She was determined to retrieve back her lost dignity and decency. She was going to have to do that by building up her very own business empire.Rose’s drive for entrepreneurship was bubbling!There was a time where she had willingly hidden all her sharp edges for Jay’s sake. She was willing to humble herself by living in the mansion at Horizon Colors and
Rose had long been immune to her father’s heartless attitude. She raised her brows and coldly replied, “If you wish for me to die outside, I can promise you that I will never appear in front of you again.”“Hmph. You can die if you want to, but you must help Loyle Enterprise tide through the storm first,” Royan shamelessly said.Rose scoffed. “On what basis should I help Loyle Enterprise? All these years, you never bothered to know if I was still alive or dead out there. When you were still rich, you never once thought about me. Now that you’re at your wits ends, I suddenly appear in your mind. Let me ask you, where did you find the audacity to pass on such a huge debt to me?”Rose’s stepmother came out and said with a disdainful tone, “Rose Loyle, don’t act like you’re holier than us. Do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with our Loyle family’s bankruptcy? Grand Asia belongs to your ex-husband. You must have offended him for Grand Asia to suddenly oppress our business. Si
Royan could not believe what he witnessed. He did not think that Rose would have turned into a completely different person. In the past, she would only shed silent tears regardless of how they bullied her.However, today she not only showed no respect, but she even hit her stepmother.“Rose Loyle, are you revolting?!” Royan picked up a stack of documents that were on the table, planning to throw it at Rose.Rose did not budge a bit. Her blood-shot eyes were staring straight at Royan. “If you lay a finger on me today, I will make this into tomorrow’s headlines and break all relations with the Loyle family. I will sit and watch Grand Asia buy over Loyle Enterprise. I will watch how you all will turn from a life of intoxicating riches into beggars. I’ll see all of you walking toward the lowly life I used to live...”The folder in Royan’s hand fell. He was used to a life of riches and being respected by most people. He would rather die than to return to a life of poverty.“Rose, I’m y
Rose smirked. “That’s the way. Although we are a family, we still need to settle our scores clearly! Another thing, don’t you dare call me an illegitimate daughter. You’re more clear than anybody else whether this is the truth or not.”Her stepmother was filled with so much hatred that her eyes could go up in flames.Royan was holding back his emotions to the point that his facial expression was beginning to twitch. “Will you agree to help Loyle Enterprise now?”Rose paused before saying, “Transfer the whole of Loyle Enterprise to my name. In the future, all of you will have no connection to it whether the company is profiting or losing, deal?”Royan froze on the spot.“Rose Loyle, you want to take over Loyle Enterprise?” her stepmother said between gritted teeth.Rose said, “Isn’t this what you all want? Making me shoulder all the debts? You must be well aware that me taking over Loyle Enterprise during this period of time is a dangerous move that might end up badly. It’s up to
Jay had turned the grudge between Rose and himself into a sanction by Grand Asia toward Loyle Enterprise. That infuriated Rose very much.She may hate Royan very much, but the staff working under Loyle Enterprise were innocent. Many people were going to lose their jobs if Loyle Enterprise went into bankruptcy.Rose was a kind person by nature and did not want to create so much bad karma, thus she angrily marched over to Grand Asia to try to talk some sense into Jay. She did not expect to bump into her half-sister, Sydney, who was on her way out.Sydney looked at her cheaply-dressed older half-sister. She admitted that Rose did look attractive to a certain degree. However, to wear a few hundred Yuan worth of clothes and appear in Grand Asia, a place located in one of the upper-class areas, Rose was like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Gardens—a shameful sight.“What are you doing here?” Sydney folded her arms with a disdainful look at Rose.Rose had guessed Sydney’s intentions o
Rose kicked the office door open, causing a loud bang to be heard. Jay, who was deeply concentrated on going through some documents, abruptly looked up.When he saw Rose and her sister, his gaze turned icy cold.Rose huffed angrily as she marched toward him...In contrast, Sydney was trembling as she inched forward. She was observing Jay’s expression fearfully. Seeing how there was no bigger reaction from his handsome face, Sydney did not want to lose to Rose and plucked up the courage to walk over.Jay raised his head. His breathtakingly sharp gaze locked on Rose as he spoke confidently, “Rose Loyle, are you here to hand over Baby Robbie’s custody?”Agitation flashed across Rose’s eyes. “Jay, you’re a scoundrel. How could you apply sanction on Loyle Enterprise just to get Baby Robbie’s custody rights from me?”A layer of frost coated Jay’s handsome looks as he threw the pen that was in his hand. ‘I thought that Rose was here to obediently hand over Baby Robbie’s custody rights t
Jay looked at the arrogant woman in front of him. He savagely pinched her mouth so tightly that it went out of shape. “Why will I be scared of a salted fish like you?”Rose laughed wantonly. “Even a salted fish will have a day where it will flip over. I knew it. It‘s because I broke the code for Qilin‘s website that you now fear me, isn’t it? You’re afraid that I‘ll grow stronger and will have the capability to fight for Baby Robbie’s custody with you!“Her mouth was being pinched by Jay, thus her speech was somewhat incoherent. However, her arrogance and domineering gaze were clear to see.Jay sullenly looked at the woman who did not know her limitations and scoffed. “Are you expecting to overtake me with some minimal hacker skills? What an idiotic dream.”Rose was not having any idiotic dreams.She was not just a hacker, she was also the young mistress of the Severe family! She learned how to run the family business from her grandfather since she was a child. Also, she was the g
Before Sydney could finish her pleasantries, Jay yelled at her, “Scram!”Sydney was so frightened that she stumbled her way out.The room was left with only Rose and Jay now. Both of them were glaring at each other with raging eyes. The atmosphere in the room was suppressed to its lowest.“Rose, how bold of you to threaten me. Do you know that after all these years, you’re the first person who dares to threaten me?” Jay clenched his teeth.Rose smiled victoriously. “Thanks for the honor!”Jay’s expression turned dark. “Since you want to leave Imperial City, I’ll immediately book a flight for you and your daughter! As for Baby Robbie, you can forget about ever bringing him away.”Rose suddenly laughed. It was a bitter kind of laugh.Jay treated Jenson and Baby Robbie like his precious gems, yet he could abandon her and their daughter. However, Zetty was also his daughter. Was it not cruel and unfair for Zetty that he was treating her so coldly and heartlessly?“Sir Ares, I won‘t
