Patrick had been quite mysterious yesterday and had refused to tell her anything. When she asked Oliver, he also just winked mysteriously. "You'll find out later." After saying that, he murmured, "She doesn't even remember!"He had also almost forgotten. Fortunately, someone reminded him.Outside Young Estate, a row of luxury cars were readied for the family. Not long after, everyone got in their car and drove off toward the destination. Miles and Anastasia each took a car.Kelly was originally going to share a car with Gabriel. But she wanted to avoid him, so she took a car alone.In the car, she first sent a message to Maya. Today was going to be a trap for Rose. A few days ago, she had asked Maya to find people to take part in her plan. She would make Rose suffer.…The orphanage was on the way from Aquastead to Chereton. After exiting off the highway, the luxury cars entered a winding and rugged path. It took an hour to arrive at the orphanage.The orphanage was close to t
Rietta? Rose finally noticed the title. Was the "Rietta" mentioned by the old woman Oliver's daughter? Had Henrietta been here before? She seemed to have discovered something.Rose asked, "Granny, do you know Henrietta?"Hearing the name, the old woman was in a daze for a while. Then, she grabbed Rose's hand and looked at her carefully with great joy."Henrietta, it's good that you're back! That year was the last time you came to see me. You said I might never see you again. I've kept the things you asked me to put away carefully all these years. No one ever found them!"The old woman suddenly thought of something and looked around defensively. After making sure no one saw them, she took Rose's hand. "Come on! I'll take you to it."Rose didn't refuse. She felt an inexplicable attraction that made her want to explore the place.She supported the old woman as she walked, but they didn't enter the orphanage. Instead, they walked around it into a small and dilapidated house.The h
Kelly had gotten all dressed up. Although she didn't see Rose, she saw a smiling Oliver. Today's birthday girl was her!Thinking that he had prepared the birthday celebration for her, she felt very proud of herself and wanted to show off in front of Rose. She wanted Rose to know that blood was always thicker than water.Rose had been mistaken for Henrietta while she was the real granddaughter of the Youngs. She knew the truth. But after days of deception, she had thought of herself as Oliver's real granddaughter.She took for granted that everything was hers, including everyone's focus and love. She flashed her perfect smile, deliberately held Gabriel's arm, and moved forward gracefully. But he saw Rose first. Although it was just a glance, he thought that she looked good when the sea breeze was blowing her hair. He couldn't help but be stunned by her.Rose was also dumbfounded. Birthday girl? Was Oliver referring to her? It wasn't her birthday today. But Oliver just waved at her
Kelly felt that as she was the Youngs' granddaughter, the man's clothes didn't deserve to touch her body. Fortunately, her crying kept him away from her.Kelly couldn't believe what had just happened. She thought that Gabriel was displeased because she had embarrassed herself.After all, he was Regalia's famous playboy and lived in the shadow of the Youngs all year round. It was normal for him to have a temper. Unsurprisingly, he was angry and didn't want to help her.She looked at him, believing she could soften him by pitifully asking for his help. Sure enough, although he frowned, he stepped forward.Seeing this, she felt better. Kelly waited for him to comfort her and smooth over her embarrassment. All she had to do was continue to act aggrieved and helpless.When he helped her to get up, she pretended to go limp and threw herself into his arms. Gabriel held her firmly. She was full of gratitude and beamed at him."Thanks, Gabriel."But suddenly, he let go of her and took th
Everything she wished for would come true … Rose felt moved by his words. She could feel Oliver's love for his daughter in every syllable. She could only wish that Henrietta was still alive and could meet with him.Henrietta. The name echoed in her mind. She suddenly thought of the old woman she had just met. There seemed to be a force pushing her to do something. But what should she do?Rose was stuck in a daze and didn't notice Kelly's vicious gaze on her. Everything she wished would come true? Hmph! Kelly gritted her teeth secretly. Everything Rose wished for would come true. But what about her? She wanted to get everything she wanted, too. As for Rose ...Kelly glared at them and turned to leave, no longer rushing back to regain her glory. Oliver's hearty laughter came from behind her.His health wasn't as good as it was before. She thought that even if he survived that fall from the bridge, his physical condition would at least worsen. Unexpectedly, his physical and mental
Rose looked happy today. Miles hadn't seen her smile in a long time. He sensed that she was at ease and wanted to indulge her.A wild red flower bloomed on the steep slope. She picked the flower and was about to give it to Oliver when she heard a voice."Jon!"She recognized that it was Anastasia. She was talking to Jonathan. She didn't want to eavesdrop, but her feet seemed glued to the ground.She saw Anastasia's back. She occasionally fiddled with her hair. It reminded Rose of a woman talking to her lover."You drank too much and turned off your phone last night, right? You should rest for a while. Well, I'll miss you too. I'll see you when I get back."Although it wasn't clear, Rose could just about hear what Anastasia had said. Although the two had only been in Aquastead shortly, they seemed very familiar!She felt her heart tighten uncomfortably. But suddenly, she realized something and smiled bitterly.He had given the ring to Anastasia. Although she was the adopted gran
Nixon snorted. Both back then and now, he was always just a tool in Kelly's eyes.Thinking of his previous experiences, he became colder and unconsciously tightened his grip on her chin. He even left some visible marks on it."Ah! It hurts!"She was in pain and felt that his reaction wasn't proportionate. Did he think the matter was too serious to help her with? But she could only ask him for help.She couldn't gauge his expression. But even though she was blindfolded, she could feel his hand on her chin. Just as he released his grip, she rubbed his hand with her face."I'm a woman. I can't do it. Only you can help me. You'll help me, right?"What she was talking about was a life-altering matter. But her innocent tone made it sound like she was asking for a bouquet or a gift from her lover. He stared at her and smiled silently.There was a moment of silence as she waited for his answer. Just when she thought she hadn't managed to seduce him, his voice suddenly filled the air."
After he disappeared, Kelly wiped her mouth thoroughly, feeling disgusted.But his smell seemed to linger on her body. The more she wiped, the more irritated she got. So, she simply put on her clothes and hurried out. She couldn't wait to take a bath.When she was walking back to the orphanage, she met Gabriel. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, and his gaze made her feel inexplicably nervous.She almost subconsciously glanced at the tiny house when she saw him. Turning around, she felt relieved to see that the house's door wasn't facing them.Even if he had seen her approaching, he would likely think she had just come out of the alley."Gabriel, hello. I was just on a walk. What are you doing out?"The implication was that she was already taking a walk when she saw him. He raised his eyebrows on smelling a strange odor in the breeze. It was a man's scent. He glanced at her thoughtfully. "Not much. Can you bring me around since you're exploring the place?"He was quite sinc
