But Rose wasn't interested in Henrietta's secret hideout. The old woman was too old. She couldn't place any hope on her.Suddenly, she realized that the old woman might have led her to the dilapidated church on purpose. The old woman might have noticed their strange behavior. So, she probably took Rose to eavesdrop on their conversation to alert her of the danger."Thank you." Rose didn't know what those people would do, but they plotted against the Youngs. This matter wouldn't be so easily resolved. The old woman smiled brightly at her like a child who had just gotten praised.She felt warm, supported the old woman, and walked along the road ahead. But the old woman suddenly stopped and looked at her. "Rietta, I can't walk anymore."She was silent momentarily before saying, "I'll carry you." She squatted and let the old woman lie on her back.The old woman was thin and not very heavy. But even so, it was still much more difficult for Rose to walk than before. Nevertheless, sh
The Gibsons' driver took them back to the Gibson family's mansion."No need." Jonathan took his coat off, although he looked cold. He glanced at Zac and then brushed past him to walk straight to the door.He was in a hurry as he had planned to find Rose yesterday, but Zac had delayed him. When he woke up, he could only think about her and couldn't wait to see her."Hey, Jon! At least you ..." Zac chased after him but realized that only Rose could make Jonathan so anxious.He thought that he had better not hinder the couple from meeting each other. So, he stopped and immediately ordered the driver to take Jonathan away.Jonathan went directly to Young Estate. When he arrived, he charged his phone and called Rose, but she didn't pick it up.It was dark in Young Estate. For some reason, his eagerness to see Rose had diminished. He felt a little anxious now. Frowning, he decided to go in. He rang the doorbell. A servant who had been left behind to keep watch answered the door. The
Kelly didn't want to go. Her original plan was to stay inside all night and wait for the news of Oliver's death and Rose's scandal the next day. But Miles and Gabriel were anomalies in her plan, so she had to adapt it.She followed Gabriel. As night had fallen, he turned on the flashlight. But as soon as they were alone, she pretended to sprain her foot."Ah!" Her face cringed in pain. "My foot! Gabriel, I ..." She seemed to be in great pain and looked like she was about to cry.There was a hint of impatience in his eyes. When he saw Kelly's acting, he thought about poking fun at her and mocking her. But after some thought, he decided against it."Then turn around. It's dangerous here." He sounded a little cold.Hearing his words, she became more aggrieved. "No! How can I go back? Grandpa and Rose are missing. What if something happens to them? We have to find them quickly."She pretended to be strong and stood up forcefully. But as she did so, she let out another cry of pain. Sh
Before Anastasia even had time to think about who the patron could be, the man had already leaned against her. No matter how hard she struggled, whimpered, or begged for mercy, it was useless.As the night dragged on, her pleas for mercy died out. The men came in one after another, and she was so humiliated by the third one that she had lost all hope.After the others had their fill with her, Theo went in. Under the light from his phone, he saw who was inside. Although her mouth was covered with tape, he could tell at a glance that she wasn't Rose!Rose, whom Oliver doted on, was so eye-catching that he would never forget her face, even though he had only caught a fleeting glimpse of her. But the woman in front of him ...Theo was stunned for a moment and recognized Anastasia after a minute. She was also a lady of the Youngs. Since arriving at the orphanage, she had been alone and was staring at Rose disdainfully.She also recognized him, and her despair turned into agitation. She
Rose instantly raised her guard. The moment she asked the question, she could see the disdain in Nixon's eyes. Hatred radiated from his expression, and his lips morphed into a chilling smile. He replied, "I'm getting my revenge."Revenge? She frowned. While they held grudges against each other, it had started with him. Despite this, she didn't think she could reason with him."How are you going to get your revenge? Kill me? Don't forget, if you kill me, you can't escape the legal consequences."Was she afraid of death? Of course, she was. But she also wagered that someone like him feared death more. Surprisingly, he smiled after hearing her words. "Kill you? How would I dare?" He still had not forgotten what he had to endure from Jonathan previously.His gaze deepened as he recalled those events. "Rose, you are something. When did you seduce Uncle Jonathan? Let me guess …" He pretended to ponder. However, his memory flashed in his mind's eye like a movie.He tried his best to
The screen was frozen, and the cabin was filled with eerie silence. The footage simply played over and over again on a loop. Oliver was visibly agitated as he pointed at the screen. His distress at Kelly kicking his wheelchair was audible from the video.Rose suddenly snapped out of her shock. "Grandpa ... Grandpa, it's okay. It's all in the past."Rose wanted to hold Oliver's hand and provide him with a sense of security, but her hands were tied. She tried to break free several times but couldn't do so. Fortunately, Oliver calmed down after hearing her words. Oliver looked at Rose. It was clear that he was shaken by the video."Grandpa, it's okay. Everything's in the past. Kelly … probably didn't mean any harm."Although Rose knew that Kelly was up to no good and suspected that Kelly was planning something even bigger, Kelly was still Oliver's biological granddaughter. Oliver definitely wouldn't expect his granddaughter to do something so ruthless.So, she decided to paint Kell
Rose clenched her fists subconsciously. She suddenly realized that things were not as simple as she had thought. She stared intently at Nixon, but he only had a strange smile that was barely visible in the dim lighting."It's not what 'we' plan to do, it's what Kelly wants to do!"From the moment Nixon decided to take revenge, Kelly had already been erased from his heart. He held onto her weaknesses, forcing her to submit beneath him. Watching her terrified demeanor, he felt nothing but disdain and satisfaction.Kelly had asked him to kill Oliver. But he was no longer swayed by her acts. He had no intention of keeping any of her secrets.Rose swallowed silently. "What is Kelly planning to do?" As she kept trying to guess, it slowly became clear to her.Without hesitation, Nixon said, "I guess ... she is plotting to take Oliver's life. She'll try until she succeeds. It's probably for the money!"The Young family was swimming in wealth."But even if she didn't do these things, she
The scene was indeed amusing. An adopted granddaughter did whatever it took to save her grandfather from danger, while his biological granddaughter didn't hesitate to harm him repeatedly for her own sake.Though Nixon's remark was light-hearted, Oliver's eyes burned with fury. Before he could pull Rose onto the speedboat, Nixon, who stood on the opposite side, grabbed Rose's other wrist.With just a light tug from Nixon, Oliver lost his grip on Rose, and Nixon ruthlessly pushed Oliver aside.Seeing Oliver fall onto the speedboat, a trace of worry appeared in Rose's eyes. Only after confirming that he was alright could she relax. She watched as Nixon started the speedboat and turned on its satnav.Soon, the speedboat disappeared into the darkness of the night. Rose and Nixon were the only ones left on the ship.With no one else around, Nixon looked at Rose maliciously. Seeing her sitting defenselessly on the ground, his eyes darkened. "What do you think Uncle Jonathan is doing righ
