Jay held Rose's hand and walked toward the center of the dance floor.The previously noisy hall place suddenly quieted down. Everyone’s attention was at the center of the dance floor.Rose was like a puppet being manipulated as she trembled and looked at Jay. When the music started, she was still a little shocked and stood unmoving.Jay frowned. He rudely took her into his arms and placed his lips next to her ears. He threatened in a low voice, "Rose, it’s fine if you want to embarrass yourself, but don’t bring me down with you.”Rose snapped out of it quickly. He was a public figure. Every move and word he said was under the microscope of the public. If they embarrassed themselves, he might appear in the news for days.For a man like him who had never lost a day in his life, would it not cost millions for him to lose face?Rose tried to focus. With the familiar music and familiar dance partner, she was able to put herself quickly into the right state of mind.Jay did not expect
That angered Jay even more!Rose returned to her corner. Her heart thumped violently, and it did not settle down even after a long time.It turned out that she could still do the waltz with Jay in this lifetime.The waltz was a dance that required the dancer to turn rhythmically round and round from beginning till the end, repeatedly.Was her fate with Jay the same as the waltz, going round and round?In another dark corner, the envy in Nancy's eyes was like a deep sea, quenching flames.She was Jay's actual girlfriend, but Rose had taken her place that day. She had to make her pay for showing off.Nancy turned around and disappeared into a secluded corner.After some time."Miss Rose!" Suddenly, a gentle voice interrupted Rose's reverie. Rose looked at the beautiful woman who seemed to have appeared in front of her. "What's the matter?""Miss Rose, someone wants to meet you. Please come with me." The woman's attitude was meek and mild.Rose did not know what her agenda was
When Sean opened his hazy eyes, he saw the pure and beautiful Rose. He teased, "Beautiful lady, do you want a taste of me? You know, with your level of beauty, you really didn’t have to go through all this trouble of drugging me. How am I supposed to satisfy you if I’m all weak like this? If you get me the antidote, I can assure you that I’ll give you a good time!” The Bell family's faces looked sour. ‘Rose is Jay's ex-wife. How can Sean try and hook up with her?‘Is he that desperate?’Jay was livid. Not once did he move his gaze away from the big screen. Rose would have been pierced into a sieve if his eyes were flying knives.'She tried the same trick and drugged Sean as well?'Rose looked at Sean as if she was admiring a national treasure. After a while, Rose’s lips curled up into a smirk. "I can tell that you must have done too many wicked things, and someone is trying to get back at you.”Sean's body felt weak, and his eyesight turned blurry. His cheeks started to turn red
"Well, if you want to die a humane death, then I can help you." Rose teased him mischievously.Sean was extremely speechless. "Can you put those impure thoughts away? I was just trying to ask you to pour me a glass of water."Rose was rendered speechless.She got up and poured him a glass of warm water. When she handed it to him, Sean eyed her with great resentment. "My hands are tied. Can you feed me?"Rose stretched out a hand to lift his chin and poured the water into his mouth.Sean choked so hard that tears flowed out of his eyes. He roared, "Are you even a woman? Why are you so rough?"Rose snapped. "You should be thankful that you still have water to drink. Don’t be so demanding."Rose continued to interrogate him. "Think carefully. Who drugged you? Why is she trying to hurt you? I’m the most notorious woman in Imperial Capital, so I’m sure she didn’t send me here to taint your reputation because she wants to find you a kind and virtuous wife, right?"Sean looked at Rose
Jay expressed his opinion on the matter on behalf of the Ares family. "I’ll investigate this matter, Mr. Bell. I promise to give you an explanation."He looked askance at Rose and gnashed his teeth. "I’ll deal with Rose too."The head of the Bell family said, "Please do, Master Ares! Just give her a small punishment as a warning will do. I don’t want anyone killed." He was gone as soon as his voice fell.Petrified, Rose yelled at the Bell family who was leaving, "Old Master Bell, I’m willing to accept any punishment from you." ‘I’ll go down on my knees. I beg you, please don’t leave me to Jay, this demon king!’Jay gazed at Rose and said eerily, "Come with me."Rose hugged the European-styled wooden pillar next to her firmly as though she was trying to mould herself on it and be a part of it.After taking a few steps, Jay turned around to find Rose still standing on the same spot. Frost enshrouded his eyes at once."Rose?" His voice carried the high pressure of a volcanic erupti
Rose's thoughts were muddled. She could not think calmly and rationally when she was in front of Sir Ares. She began speaking incoherently, "Her face, her nose, and her mouth are bigger than yours, Sir Ares..." Jay’s face was as big as the size of a palm, like a masterpiece carved out by the heavens. It was certainly not an existence that was superfluous.Unable to stand it any longer, Jay sprung up from the chair, beckoning to Rose by hooking his fingers.Rose shuffled over in a daze. Jay suddenly pinched her mouth shut with his pliers-like hands as his other hand grabbed the rubber tape next to him. He sealed her mouth completely."Since you lack the ability to express yourself, you should probably use your hands instead!" he exclaimed in a domineering, ruthless, and cruel manner.“Mm… Mmm..." Rose glared at Jay as she cursed him incoherently, "Jay, you b*stard, you sc*mbag..."Jay returned to his chair, his furrowed brows smoothing out. He took out a piece of paper and a pen fr
Jay was forced to shift his gaze to the portrait…Apart from her skillful brushwork, there was not one single merit in her portrait sketch. When viewed separately, the person’s facial features were that of God’s masterpiece, though when they were put together, the result could be said to be that of a scene of a car accident.This certainly did not reflect Angeline's standard.Jay shook his head, pushing back all the complicated thoughts in his mind.How absurd. How could a rough and shameless woman like Rose be the perfect and beautiful Angeline whom he had taught?Even professional art students would feel a deep sense of shame when they laid eyes on Angeline’s artwork.Taking a second look at Rose's portrait now, it was as if she was trying to draw a flying eagle with its wings outstretched but ended up handing in a drawing of a chick pecking rice instead.Jay figured that he must have hit his head or gone blind, or maybe he just missed Angeline too much. Maybe that was why he
She had tried her best to be nice to Daddy these few days, but it seemed like Daddy still did not like her.When Jay entered the house holding Baby Robbie, Rose was sitting restlessly on the couch waiting for the children. When she saw Jay holding the sleeping Baby Robbie in his arms whereas Jenson held the hand of a drowsy-looking Baby Zetty, Rose’s heart sank a little.Jay was well-known for being domineering, but seeing how he was even showing preferential treatment to children, she now saw him in a very bad light. "Mommy." When Baby Zetty saw her mommy, she threw herself into her mommy's arms pitifully.Rose rubbed her tiny head tenderly. Baby Zetty's voice carried a trace of whimper that was almost difficult to detect. She was clearly heartbroken by Daddy's unfair treatment.Rose picked Baby Zetty up, took Jenson’s hand, and went upstairs."Rose!"Jay's deep and serene gaze fell on Rose's thin but resilient back.Standing at the top of the stairs, Rose turned her head aro
