Later, he had tried to use sex to keep her from leaving.Josephine noticed the deflated expression on her brother’s face and sighed heavily. “Don’t tell me you’ve committed those two mistakes?”Josephine facepalmed her forehead and said before leaving with a sad expression on her face, “Then you’re doomed.”Outside the window, Rose could be seen playing with the children in the garden.The children’s laughter could be heard from Jay’s study. Jay walked over to the window, drew the curtain, and quietly observed them.Surrounded by her children, Rose had a bright smile on her face. It was as if she neither had any weakness nor submissiveness when she was with her children.Jay revealed a gentle smile.Once Mrs. Zonder had made lunch, the children dragged Rose to the dining table.Rose felt rather out of place as she glanced at Jay with a tremulous feeling.Jay seemed to have noticed what was going on in her mind and felt his heart ache.‘Josephine is right. Rose has a sensitive
With gatherings came farewells!A short time spent together ended in a dramatic separation.When Rose and Josephine were about to leave Garden of A Diary, Baby Zetty hugged her mommy’s legs, refusing to budge. “Mommy, I’m not letting you leave.”Baby Robbie also hugged his mommy’s waist.As for Jenson, he stood in the middle of the way, blocking Rose’s path.Josephine paced back and forth a few times before looking at the children and Rose. She asked sadly, “I’m leaving too, why is nobody asking me to stay?“Hey, I’ve never mistreated any of you, how could you three heartless brats never show any sadness when I’m about to leave?”Rose sent Jay, who was standing by the side, a plead for help with her gaze. The latter had been watching the whole commotion like a spectator.Jay still had no intentions of making a move and remained silent.Rose hugged her children and cried.Jay felt frustrated when he saw how pitiful she looked. “Rose, let’s talk.”Josephine immediately pulle
“Has your brother agreed to this?”Josephine said, “I think my brother has a newfound understanding of love and is now less discriminative of Zayne. He said that if I’ve fallen in love, I should bring the boy home to show our parents. He did not specifically mention that he forbade me from coming in contact with Zayne.”Rose was flabbergasted. Jay used to hate it whenever good-for-nothing Zayne got near his precious little sister.What made him change his mind?“Let me finish my work and I’ll find time to go with you,” Rose offered.Josephine was elated. “Big sis, you’re awesome.”Josephine left after dropping Rose off at her rented house.When Rose arrived at the door, she saw Sean leaning against it. The latter looked unkempt.They had not seen each other for a few days. His face looked haggard, and his clothes appeared crumpled. Additionally, his mustache was not shaved, and he looked very exhausted.“Sean Bell?”“Orchid, did Jay Ares do anything to you?” Sean asked worrie
After Sean left, Rose immediately sent a message to her father, George Severe. George Severe was in Swallow City and went by the name Ange Lin.“The Moonlit Sky’s screenplay is within our grasp. Mr. Severe, you should quickly get to Imperial Capital. As long as you follow my instructions, you won’t fail.”Swallow City.George looked at his phone in disbelief.The Moonlit Sky’s work was the latest hit IP screenplay. Both film giants, Ares Films and Bell Films, had been fighting over it.What method had Ange Lin used to get such a popular IP script to fall into the hands of Severe Enterprise?The next day, George left Swallow City early in the morning. He followed Ange Lin’s instructions and visited Sean Bell.Sean glanced at Orchid and knew that she was the one who had contacted George, thus he got straight to the point, “Uncle George, I won’t earn a single cent from the ownership transfer fees for The Moonlit Sky’s screenplay. I’ll sell it to you at its original price. What’s yo
An expression of helplessness flashed across Jay’s eagle eyes. “If you’re willing to work together with Ares Enterprise, I could...”George could no longer hide his anger. “No need for that. What we Severes have today is all thanks to you.”Jay frowned and looked at ‘Orchid’ restlessly.‘I wonder if she thinks so too?’Rose merely remained calm and stoic. She was not at all surprised by what George had said.‘Does that mean she agrees that the downfall of the Severe family was because of me?’“Ms. Orchid, thank you. I shall make a move.” George’s expression remained icy as he squeezed into the elevator just as the elevator door was about to shut itself completely.Jay stared at Orchid with his sharp gaze, hoping to read through her seemingly calm outlook. Unfortunately, she was a master at hiding her emotions.‘Master Ares, this way please.” Rose stretched out her hand and bowed slightly to invite him.Jay softly sighed.He turned to walk toward Sean’s office.Sean was flabb
“Do you have Mr. Severe’s contact?” One could tell that he was probing from his gaze.“It’s stated in the contract, but I didn’t take note of it,” Rose replied.Jay said, “Oh, is that so? Please pass a message to him that Ares Films is willing to invest in the film. However, the profit will be shared 50-50.”Rose was taken by surprise.Was this news truly a blessing for Severe Enterprise who were tight in funds?Rose looked at him with lots of questions in her mind. “I heard that Master Ares is a profit-minded businessman, so why are you being so generous toward Severe Enterprise?”Jay looked at her. His cold and sharp gaze became softer as he said, “Take it as I owe her and want to compensate for it.”Rose thought about it and said, “I will convey Master Ares’ offer.” With that, she turned around to leave.“Orchid!” Jay suddenly called her.Rose turned around to look at him.“Today is Monday.”Rose was taken aback. Was he reminding her that it was her day to spend time with
Rose was stunned...Why did Zayne have such a strong animosity against Jay?If they wanted to blame Angeline’s death on Jay, it would be quite unfair for him.“Calm down. We should not be petty about these minute things if we want to succeed,” Rose advised Zayne.George’s expression darkened. “Ange Lin, you don’t understand the grudges the Ares and Severe family hold against each other...”Rose softly said, “I know a little.”George glared at her and bellowed even louder, “No, you don’t understand.”Rose looked at George who was fuming with anger. She kept quiet when she noticed the angry bloodshot eyes of her father who was usually gentle and soft-spoken.Were there other hidden issues that she did not know of?“Mr. Severe, please clarify,” Rose’s voice trembled as she spoke.George said painfully, “The death of my daughter, Angeline, has got something to do with him.”Rose was taken aback. “Ms. Severe was madly in love with Master Severe at that time. She had made the choi
Rose cried as she spoke, “I don’t know what happened. After the accident, I woke up as Rose Loyle!”George was startled for some time...“This is absurd. My daughter Angeline died in that accident. I buried her at Mountain’s Fork Cemetery, yet you’re telling me right now that you’re my daughter... appearing in front of me inside another body...”Although it was unbelievably crazy, George still could not completely exclude the possibility of Angeline being inside Rose’s body.He remembered the time when he first met Ange Lin who had played the ‘where is the middle finger’ game. He remembered the scene where Angeline and Rose held their hands tightly at the accident site.He had no choice but to believe that it was something fate had arranged.“Rose, prove it to me that you’re my daughter Angeline.” He looked at Rose who was standing straight with a determined expression. She was exactly like his daughter Angeline.Rose nodded.She placed her hands behind her and swung her head a
