‘Damn you! You little fucker. Whom did you learn that from? Are you starting to take after your dead mother?!’ Beatrice cursed inwardly in her mind feeling enraged.Contempt was written all over the faces of the ladies that followed Beatrice. No wonder people say it's rare that step-mothers love their step-children for real.The reason why Beatrice was able to earn some respect in the society was because she had built her own reputation as a loving step-mother. She had also been telling everyone how much she loved her step-daughter.Now she had shot herself in the foot.Seeing that her mother was starting to get backlash from the people present, Sophia tried to help and pinched Roseline at her arm secretly. "Sister, what do you mean? Don't be silly. You know, mom loves you very much. Why would she be angry with you?" She said smiling her best at Roseline.Bestrice let out a sigh, noticing that her daughter was trying to help her out so she quickly seized the opportunity. "Poor child,

“Mr. King, you've been quiet all throughout, don't you have something to say?" She asked, still smiling at Alex. But she didn't get any response from him nor did he act like he heard her.‘Is he ignoring me? Did he even see me sitting here at all?!’ Alex ignoring her was like a huge slap to her face. She wasn't used to being treated like the way she was right now. It was always easy for her to get men to fall for her and she thought she could do the same to Alex but he hadn't spared her a glance since.Not wanting her anger and pride to ruin her chance, she swallowed her frustration and continued putting on a smile on her face before speaking again. “I'm curious about one thing Mr. King? Is it true that you have no girlfriend? I mean you're handsome, wealthy and powerful yet you still haven't gotten a girlfriend. What do you think about looking out for one and it just turns out that I'm also sing-" “Miss Gale, I've seen the files are what your sister promised us. However, we will h

A smirk appeared on her face. ‘Already eyeing a big shot to help you right? You think she isn't worthy of him and you do?’ Cara shivered in anger. “This doesn't make sense at all." She mumbled under her breath.A few minutes ago, she was excited when she received the gift. For a moment, she thought that she was already making progress and if she could keep stealing her sister's spot whenever she had a meeting with Alex, she would be able to leave a good impression on Alex and he would eventually warm up to her. She was really proud of herself with her plan, the image of herself as Mrs. King was starting to come to reality. Now, all hopes vanished. Still not wanting to give up her chances with Alex, Cara put on a smile on her face and turned her attention to look at Alex. “Mr. King, I apologize for misunderstanding who the jewelry box is for." Cara apologized, before continuing, “However, since my sister isn't the one who came here, can't I just take the jewelry as my gift instead s

Rose frowned when she heard Cara’s words. What does she mean flat? Yes, she might be young but she definitely isn't flat Cara had made it sound. She just isn't curvy yet just because she is still young.Feeling a gaze on her, Rose raised her head up and saw Alex staring at her. ‘Did he think I'm flat as well?’ Annoyed, she pouted, glared at him. "Move away from me. If you're also having the same thoughts as that woman." It somehow only came out as a whisper and was only audible to Alex. Alex reacted swiftly, let go of Roseline and stepped away with a deep frown on his face. Not expecting him to let go of her like that, Rose lost balance and was about to have a heavy fall. She closed her eyes, acceptingly, though more helplessly. ‘What bad luck. Now everyone is going to watch me fall. How embarrassing!’However, she did fall, but into Alex’s arms as he caught her again quickly. "Behave yourself, Roseline Gray and stop being jealous." Alex's cold, deep voice sounded next to Rose's ea

As soon as they arrived home, Rose got out of the car. She turned to look at Beatrice. “I will go and get dressed for the party, stepmother." She told Beatrice and without waiting for a response from Beatrice she went upstairs to her bedroom to take a shower. She knew she had played a good game today, and she felt good. At the same time, she understood that there would be another game at the party this evening, and she would be prepared and not lose the opportunity to humiliate both Beatrice and Sophia. Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Rose was busy examining her face in the mirror when she unconsciously touched her forehead where Alex had kissed him and she felt rage growing again. “Alexander king! The same man I met at the airport. I should have asked him for compensation because he used me to lie to his girlfriend or whoever she is but I will let this slide because I borrowed his status to my advantage today as well.” Rose mumbled under her breath. Even though she
