“I can drive myself. I was serious about being able to drive yesterday at the car shop. So you can use the weekends to stay with your family." Rose replied. “It's not a suggestion, Brother Luthor. That is how it will be, no discussion." She added when she noticed Luthor was about to argue back.

Luthor couldn't help but swallow back the words he wanted to say when he heard her and continued driving.

“Once we are done at where we are going, you can branch your home and grab the things you want to take with you. But I doubt you would be taking a lot of things since you would visit home every weekend. Also we would discuss the amount of salary I would be giving you every month as well.” Rose remarked and Luthor nodded his head while watching her lean her head back and close her eyes through the rearview mirror.

A couple of minutes later, they arrived at their destination which was none other than the mall. Luthor parked the car in front of it for a short moment to allow Rose to alight fr

    Instantly her stoic facial expressions transformed into a bright smile which utterly surprised her subordinate who had never seen this particular young lady making such an expression.The lady immediately pointed at one of her subordinates. "You, hurry to the Madame's office and inform her that our store's first exclusive customer has arrived." She ordered in a stern voice but her facial expression was unable to hide her excitement."Yes. Ma'am." The staff replied and hurriedly headed to carry out the assigned task.Meanwhile, the lady also quickly approached Rose in swift steps. She immediately bowed respectfully as she greeted. "Welcome, Miss Rose. It's such a delight to have you visit our stall." She remarked with a bit of flattery and a wide smile.Rose turned her head to the direction the voice she heard came from and placed her gaze on the lady that just addressed him. The lady standing next to him was undoubtedly a staff of the stall because she was putting on a professional u

    Rose nodded in satisfaction. "I guess you are in safe hands and I've got nothing to worry about while handling my business." Rose remarked as he glanced at Luthor. " Wait, why are you suddenly buying clothes for me? “ Luthor asked with a small frown on his face. He wasn't told that she was bringing him here to shop for him. "Brother Luthor, I think this is right. Besides, I learnt something yesterday from our experience at the car shop yesterday that your appearance matters. I should have thought of this before we went there looking like two regular people. That's enough insult we received yesterday, so I'm planning to do an entire makeover for you. One more thing, you are now my personal driver so you have to look very good since we can't waste that good look you possess.” Rose calmly explained to him. Though the ridicule she received was much lesser to Luthor who was treated like a nobody at the car shop which she didn't like and it was because of his appearance. Without receiving

    "It turns out that I was right after all, you're indeed more reliable for the job than anyone else." She added with a quick smirk on her face. As always her intuition was right about Theresa's potential. If she could achieve this in a short span of a few days then she was looking forward to what the business would turn out to be in a month. "You always have the right word to say at times like this but let's cut out the chit chat and go to my office to discuss the main reason why I wanted to see you so desperately. Moreover, you don't want to break your promise to the person you brought along with you.” Theresa proposed and beckoned Rose to follow her. It was the first time Rose was going to enter Theresa's office and she found the design to be very homy. It wasn't too spacious, but it was quite messy and everywhere was filled with papers. "I'm sorry about the state of my office but I do tend to clean it a lot." Theresa apologized as she hurriedly moved about to clear up some spa

    The room was completely engulfed by silence as both Rose and Theresa had different thoughts that were running through their mind at that particular moment. Rose’s eyes were fully on Theresa as she was desperately trying to figure out if she was serious about what she just told her and checking how willfully she's planning on making it happen. On the other hand, Theresa was thrown into a state of turmoil as Rose’s gaze was focused on her and her expression was completely blank at the same moment. It constantly irked her as she was worried that Rose was probably going to disapprove of her suggestions and would likely think that she's just making a ridiculous request. Theresa really considered keeping her credibility status as much as possible in Rose’s perspective because of how deeply she trusted her judgment. At this moment, her greatest fear was that she had tarnished her spotless reputation all because she couldn't take control of her desperate childhood dreams of being a famous

    “I'll gladly accept that condition and thanks for putting so much trust in me." Theresa accepted without hesitation because that condition was meant for her peace of mind. She felt grateful that Rose was looking out for her Instead of being self-centered and selfish about her own personal gains. "That's good, so tell me the exact amount we're going to need if we're to start this new fashion company of ours?" Rose asked. "Well, you'll be glad to know that we still have enough funds to sort out the expenses." Theresa clasped her hand together as she told Rose with a smile on her face. "How is that possible after all the changes you made to the store and the stocks you bought to stock the stall?" Rose asked, surprised to hear that there was money left to start up the business Theresa was talking about. She was expecting the money to have already finished due to all the fancy and exquisite design and changes in the entire stall. Theresa laughed, because she found Rose's puzzled ex

    Rose nodded her head at Theresa. “Alright, I will bring the designs the next time I visit because I was not coming from home.” She told her.“It’s okay, I will be waiting for it then.” Theresa said, Rose suddenly got a text message on her cell phone and she was prompted to read it. She raised her gaze back to Theresa. "I have got to take my leave now, Mrs. Theresa, " She announced."Already? I was hoping you'd meet the design team," Theresa said with her tone filled with disappointment. "Honestly, I would love to but I don't have the time now but that can take place another day. I'm really sorry." Rose turned down the offer after apologizing to Theresa."Alright, I'll let you off this time around." Theresa declared and stood up from her seat ready to escort Rose out of the office. Consecutively, when Rose and Theresa arrived back at the store they were taken by surprise when a crowd had gathered as a result of commotion caused by Luthor and an unknown couple.Rose placed her

    The lady turned to look at Luthor. "Your jacket..." she repeated. "I believe you haven't paid for it yet. So technically, it is still on sale and I'm buying it.""But I picked it up first and was going to buy it before you grabbed it from my hand.” Luthor remarked, "Please return it back to me because I'm in a hurry.""That's impossible because I have searched for this design everywhere to give it as a birthday present to my fiance but couldn't find it except for this place. And I won't lose it to anyone now that I finally managed to find one." The lady refused vehemently to comply with Luthor's request."Well, that isn't any of my concerns, Miss. I insist you return the jacket back to me." Luthor replied adamantly."Why are you being so difficult? You can just go back to pick another jacket and let me have this one. Besides, I don't understand what someone like you is doing here because there is no way you can afford to buy any of these clothes." The lady snapped loudly in a displeas

    “Well, I did see him holding the jacket and I collected it from him. It's not like he had paid for it to lay claim on the jacket as his. Besides, why are you asking me such a question? This man had the audacity to call me shameless and unreasonable. I will show him just how unreasonable I can be, so I will take this jacket.” The lady arrogantly replied. “You're just another spoiled lady with no manners, young lady. I picked that jacket first, so deal with it however you like but hand over the jacket to me.” Luthor remarked. He didn't want to get into an argument with this lady in the first place but seeing how she was comfortable with cheating him irked him off. ‘Just why can't rich kids be sensible like Rose? They have one thing in common, throwing tantrums and requesting things that aren't theirs to take.’ Luthor thought to himself. Anna creases her brow upon hearing the woman's words as well. “Ma'am, just like my junior said and you also admitted that this man took the jacket fi

    "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
