“There are a lot of reasons why your mother left that message for you. And that is why we were also planning to approach the Gray family before you came. We would have done this a few years ago but your father had sneakingly sent you away out of our reach. There are many things you need to know but it all depends whether you are ready or not." Frank commented, making Rose turn to look at him.

“Father, I don't think we should reveal all of this kind of thing to her yet. We just only met her.” Karen suddenly spoke. The four of them knew exactly what Frank was talking about but she felt it was too sudden.

"Yes, I agree with Karen, darling. Rose still needs to adapt to us first before we tell things like that.” Anne added in support with Karen.

“But, mother, it's better to let the girl know now than later. It's true we only met her now but it would be to explain a few things to her so that she can know where she stands. Most of what we are going to tell her is going to ruin the image o

    Rose remained silent for a minute as she just looked at Frank who was also looking back at her. “No. I can't say that I fully trust everyone here, since trusting someone isn't an easy thing. However, I do trust my mother because she has a lot of trust in you. That was why she left the message about you to me. My mother would never lead me to a place that would swallow me up." She finally replied, giving her best and honest response to Frank. Frank slowly nodded his head, satisfied at her response. He would find it hard to believe if she said she trusted them because they just met. However, her response just let him know that she really wasn't an ordinary person. Only someone who had had their trust betrayed before would know that trusting someone isn't an easy thing. “Good, good, you're just like your mother. She had similar thoughts to you when she was alive. Despite the fact that I was her uncle, she still made me earn her trust before she could fully trust me and you just remi

    To her, she felt undeserving of something like that, after hearing all the good things about her mother. She couldn't help but feel that she let her down and disappointed her. It cost her to die before she became smart and wise, but still she felt like she couldn't be compared to her mother. Everyone just stared at Rose, they could see that she was disappointed in herself for some reason that they don't know about. “No matter what, I'm sure that your mother would always be proud of you." Julian suddenly commented, making Rose raise her up to look at him. “I appreciate that Mr. Anderson." Rose said, the corner of her lips into a faint smile. Julian frowned slightly when he heard the way she addressed him but he said nothing. “I know that I just met everyone today but I'm willing to know everyone properly just like my mother. I can't really promise that it will be quick to get used to everyone but I surely will with time.” Rose remarked. She had made up her mind to make an eff

    “Then if you don't mind, I can stay the night here." Rose rold Old madam without thinking. She didn't know what came over her but when she saw Anne's expression she felt like making it up to her. " What?” Old madam was surprised when she heard Rose. “Wouldn't your father know that you aren't around, Rose?” Frank asked. "My father is on a business trip and his wife wouldn't even notice my absence at home. I bet she would wish I didn't step foot into that house again. But I will take care of the excuse to give them." Rose casually replied, which was true. Beatrice wouldn't care if she came home or not. No one said anything at first and just quietly stared at Rose. It seems like she was aware that her family didn't care about her and the fact that she was being so casual about it made them worried about her but no one wanted to say anything. “Alright child, you can stay with us for the night. We would love to have your company here." Frank was the first person to speak after

    “Child, there is still a lot we need to talk about. And I also have to tell you something about your mother, but like my wife said, we need you to settle down properly here with us.” Frank suddenly spoke. He knew Rose was not like any other average teenager because he was sensing maturity from her which was confusing to him. He wondered how quickly she had grown mentally in order to protect herself. “I understand.” Rose nodded her head. Just then, the door opened and Anthony walked into the room. "Anthony, what happened?” Frank asked, thinking he was here to inform him about something. "I came to bring the young miss to the room that is already prepared for her." Anthony replied and turned to look at Rose. “Young Miss, I will bring you to your room now." He told her. ‘That was quick. I thought they would just prepare the room for me.’ Rose thought to herself before she nodded at Anthony. “Sir, what about my driver? Can you also prepare a room for him as well?" Rose asked as sh

    “Hello, Aunty." She spoke after the call connected. "Young Miss, where are you? Are you able to see the Anderson family today?” Paige asked, after hearing Rose's voice. “Yes, Aunty. I was finally able to meet the Anderson family and I'm currently with them." Rose told Paige. “Oh my, that's so good. I'm glad to hear that, young Miss. Were you treated properly, young Miss?” Paige asked, a hint of worry could be heard in her voice. She was worried and scared that the Anderson family might treat Rose poorly since she was not sure what kind of people they were. But according to her late madam and the things she normally tells her, she heard that they were really nice to Ruby when she was alive so she expected them to be a bit nice to Rose as well. “Aunty, I'm fine and you don’t have to be worried about me because I was treated very well by the family.” Rose replied, knowing that Paige was worried about her. “Is that so, I feel relieved as well now.” Paige let out a sigh after hearing

    After she hung up the call, she texted Luthor in order to confirm if he was okay which he called her instead of replying to her message.“You could have just texted me rather than calling, Brother Luthor.” Rose remarked, after she answered Luthor’s call.“I’m sorry, I just decided to call so that I can hear your voice.” Luthor replied.Rose smirked at him, he was making it sound like he was her personal bodyguard rather than her personal driver. “Are you comfortable with the place you are in? If you don't feel comfortable, you can go back. Once it’s tomorrow you can come-” Rose was unable to finish speaking when Luthor suddenly interrupted her.“What are you talking about, Little Rose? I’m your personal driver so I have to be wherever you are. And I’m comfortable here so don’t worry about me. I will call my mother and let her know if you are worried that she might be worried about me as well.” Luthor remarked.“Okay, if you say that then.” Rose replied not wanting to push him any fu

    When they got outside the study room, Anthony asked Rose to wait while he entered first and informed Frank about Rose's arrival. Soon, he came out and opened the door for Rose to walk in. “The Old Master asked you to come inside.” He told Rose." Thank you Grandpa Smith.” Rose thanked Anthony before she entered the study room.When she walked into the large and spacious study room, Rose raised her brow when she not only saw Frank who she was expecting. She also saw Julian, Nicholas and Leo also in the study room.The reason Leo was in the study room was because Frank had asked him to come. Earlier after Anthony led Rose to her room, Frank asked his son and grandsons to move into his study room in order for them to discuss properly. Moreover, he wanted to ask Leo some questions about Rose since he was the only person that was a bit closer to Rose than all of them.Meanwhile, Rose was a bit confused about everything. ‘Is something wrong?’ She thought to herself.“You're here, child.

    " We will understand you properly no matter how you explain to us. And don't be nervous to speak freely with us, child.” Frank commented with a reassuring nod. Ever since he saw Rose apart from looking exactly like her mother, he had a feeling that he would really like her which was turning true with every minute he spent with her. Because he didn't want to scare and make Rose feel uncomfortable he had been trying to act calm and collected when in reality he wanted to really get to know her. But he wasn't sure how she would react to him. “My mother didn't just leave the message of me finding this family alone. There were other things she left for me which I'm slowly finding out now.” Rose stated, making everyone pay attention to her. " What are you talking about?” Julian asked. "I'm talking about her Will. Since you guys are the closest relatives of my mother, I'm sure you guys are aware of my mother's will she wrote before she dies, right?” She replied and asked them. Julian turn

    "Shut up!” Victor snapped sharply, his voice quivering with rage. The injustice he felt burned like a firestorm inside him. “They beat me up! They should be begging for my forgiveness! I’m going to sue them all and throw them in jail!” His eyes blazed as he glared at the crowd, his words venomous. “How dare you mess with me? You’re all dead!” The crowd erupted into sneers and laughter. “If anything happens to us, the world will know it’s the Grays who did it,” someone retorted. “You’ll face justice soon enough.” Another voice chimed in, “Miss Rose Gray, it’s pointless to be kind to people like them. They don’t know the meaning of gratitude!” “They’re heartless,” a third agreed. “The more you tolerate them, the worse they’ll treat you.” “Some people are just born wicked,” an older man said, shaking his head. “Victor Gray is the perfect example.” Rose, standing at the center of the storm, glanced at Victor with a faint trace of pity. She sighed softly and said, “But he’s still my

    The Gray couple stood devastated, their carefully constructed façade crumbling under the weight of the truth. William seemed to freeze, his face twitching with barely restrained fury. For a moment, he looked like a man teetering on the brink of madness. How can I possibly agree? Everyone is watching and listening. But those shares are mine. MINE. Rose kept her gaze fixed on the floor, her shoulders hunched like a frightened lamb. Her small frame trembled slightly, evoking pity from the onlookers. Poor girl. The crowd whispered amongst themselves. Born into wealth but treated like an outcast in her own family. Even her own father uses her without hesitation. Beatrice’s fists were clenched so tightly her nails dug into her palms. Her mind was racing. No. We can’t give those shares back. They’re ours. Sophia’s and Victor’s future depend on them. She can’t take them from us! Sophia stood frozen, her face burning with suppressed anger. Yet, she dared not speak, remembering the backla

    "How could a father steal from his own daughter? Or is she not even considered his daughter?” “Is the Gray Corporation really that desperate now?” Outraged whispers spread among the crowd. Some female reporters expressed their disgust. “Do you only see your son as your child? What about your daughter? This is outrageous!” Someone chimed in, “He surely cares for his daughter, it all just depends on which daughter you're referring to. And it's obvious that you mean Sophia. Look at her outfit! That dress alone is worth more than $100,000, and her jewelry must cost a fortune of a million. However , look at the poor Miss Roseline Gray…” All eyes turned to Rose, and the difference was undeniable. “My God, it seems like the ex-wife’s daughter hasn't been treated well.” “It’s clear who gets the love and resources in this family…” Beatrice Gray’s face tightened as she realized the shift in the room’s mood, but it was too late. Sophia, unable to contain her anger, stood up and snapped a

    It was a speech prepared and arranged for Rose to deliver, and it would have sounded far more convincing if she had done so. However, Rose had stayed quiet the entire time, leaving William Gray with no choice but to do it himself."Fake? Photoshop? That’s the best explanation you can offer? Ridiculous! Do you think we’re so blind that we can’t tell the difference between fake and real? Does he truly think we’re stupid?"Some reporters exchanged skeptical glances, their pens pausing mid-sentence. The crowd seemed to share the same sentiment, murmuring in agreement, except for a small group of reporters.Before the other reporters had the chance to challenge him, a few voices rang out from the front row.“Mr. Gray is absolutely correct," one reporter said with exaggerated conviction. "The video lacks credibility. It's easy to manipulate footage these days, especially with advanced editing software."Another voice quickly added, "I agree. It’s well-edited, but if you look closely, you

    ---The press conference was held at the luxurious Riverview Grand Hotel, a venue known for hosting high-profile events. The large conference room was packed to capacity with journalists, photographers, and reporters from various media, all eager to catch a glimpse of the trending Gray family.As soon as Rose entered the room with William, Beatrice, Victor, and Sophia, the reporters surged forward like a swarm of hungry predators."Roseline Gray, what’s your opinion on the recent video?""Roseline Gray, how do you feel about being attacked by your half-brother Victor Gray?""This isn’t the first time, is it? Why have you stayed silent about the abuse?""Your father didn’t defend you—have you ever resented him for it?""How do you feel about the way your stepmother treats you?""Doesn’t your stepsister Sophia support you either? Do you feel completely isolated?""Roseline Gray, I heard you came back to the country, so what did you do to be beaten up by your step brother?”Question afte

    ………The next day, Rose dressed carefully for the press conference. She applied a touch of makeup to cover her bruises, though some marks were still visible. She chose a white summer dress, its delicate design giving her an air of fragility.When she descended the stairs, Beatrice was waiting, her irritation evident as Rose had made them for a long time on purpose.“Why are you wearing that? Pick a brighter color! You look better in something cheerful. And put more makeup on!” Beatrice protested as she scanned what Rose was wearing.‘What is she trying to do? Is she trying to look weak on purpose?’ Beatrice fumed internally. ‘This conference is meant to prove the video was false, not the opposite! If anything bad happens to my son, you’ll pay for it!’ she seethed.Rose’s eyes filled with tears as she replied meekly, “Dr. Noah said makeup could cause scarring if applied before my cuts heal. But I thought it would look too obvious without anything, so I used a little to cover most of the

    They began the game in silence, the soft clink of chess pieces the only sound. Frank’s moves were calculated, deliberate, but he quickly realized Rose wasn’t an easy opponent. Her strategy was sharp, her responses precise, and it wasn’t long before she had him on the defensive.Frank leaned back in his chair, studying the board with newfound respect. “You’re quite skilled. Your mother must have been an excellent teacher.”“She was,” Rose replied, her tone tinged with fondness. “She always said chess was like life. Every move matters, and you have to think several steps ahead.”Frank nodded, his expression thoughtful. “A wise woman. And what have you learned from this game?”Rose paused, a small smile playing on her lips. “That you’re cautious but adaptable. You test your opponent before committing to a strategy.”Frank raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed. “Well observed. You’ve got a sharp mind, Rose. A rare gift.”“Thank you,” Rose said, warmth creeping into her voice.As the game p

    Rose smiled, caught between the two. “I… I didn’t mean to start a competition!” she said, laughing lightly.Frank chuckled and placed a hand on Anne’s shoulder. “It’s not a competition, dear,” he said softly, his voice carrying a reassuring note. “Let her call us whatever she feels comfortable with.”Anne smiled, the playful edge fading. “Well, as long as she knows I’m the most important one,” she said with a wink.Julian laughed, crossing his arms and leaning back casually. “I’ll tell you what Rose, in order to soften the situation. It would be best if you call mom ‘Grandma’ and father ‘Grandfather,’ Deal?”Rose laughed, feeling the warmth of their banter. “Deal!” she said, her heart lightened by the playful atmosphere. She totally forgot that she felt stiffened up earlier.“Well,” she said, giving Anne a quick hug, “I’ll call you Grandma, if you prefer that. I just... I think it slipped out. It feels right.”Anne’s face softened, her smile returning. “Of course, darling. I suppose

    *********The grandeur of the Anderson Ancestral home was as breathtaking as ever, with its ornate architecture and sprawling gardens. Though Rose had visited before, this time felt different. It wasn’t a casual visit—it was her escape, her refuge after the chaos at the Gray mansion.Julian guided her inside, where Frank and Anne Anderson awaited in the living room. Despite the familiarity, Rose still felt a twinge of hesitation as she approached them.“Rose, my darling,” Anne said warmly, pulling her into a gentle hug. Her soft hair brushed against Rose’s cheek as she held her close. “I’ve been worried about you. I’m so glad you’re here now.”“Thank you, Grandma,” Rose replied, her voice steady though her heart fluttered at the kindness."My goodness, how on earth did you end up in this state? How dare William Gray let his incompetent fool do this to my precious child? Does he have a death wish?" Anne fumed, her voice trembling with rage. Though most of the wounds were finally heali
