Chapter 1279
Rosalie hugged Steve tight, her entire body shaking.
"Yerick, are you going to kill me?"
"Kill you? Haha..." Yerick laughed. "Rose, if I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago. Why would I wait till now?" Rosalie tried her best to keep herself calm. She took a deep breath and said, "What do you want?"
"Call Theodore."
"What do you want me to say?"
Narrowing his eyes, Yerick said, "He's rushing over right now. Tell him that you have something to attend to and not to come."
Rosalie hesitated.
"What, are you not willing to do that?" He loaded the gun and warned, "Rose, there is a limit to my patience. I don't want to kill you, but I'm a bad guy, after all. Bad guys are capable of anything."
"I...I'll call him." Rosalie didn't dare to provoke Yerick unnecessarily.
"Wait," Yerick said as he lifted a hand. "Give me your phone."
Rosalie looked warily at him, not moving an inch.
Yerick snapped irritably, "Give it to me!"
It was a stern warning to Rosalie. She had no choice but to hand her phone to him.
Yerick tapped the screen, and it lit up. He saw the text Rosalie was drafting to Theodore, unfinished and unsent. He deleted all the text and retrieved Theodore's number from her contacts before dialing it.
Yerick handed the phone back to Rosalie. "Don't put it on loudspeaker."
Yerick took a few steps back. Very soon, Theodore answered the call.noveldrama
"Hey, Rose."
Rosalie shut her eyes, trying her best to keep her voice steady. "Theo, don't come anymore."
"What did you say?" Theodore asked, confused. "Why not? I have something to tell you, and it's very important."
"I know it's very important, but it's not a good time right now. I need to head out to do something very important. We can't meet today."
"You have something to do? I'll go find you and I can accompany you for it. We can talk on the way."
Theodore was still insisting on coming.
Yerick said in a low and threatening voice, "If he comes, I'll kill him."
Rosalie's heart leaped and she said sternly, "Theodore Spencer, I told you not to come. I have something important to attend to and it's a
private matter. I don't want you
interfering in things. Let's talk I'm done. Remember, don't come. Even if you do, you won't be able to find me. I've already left the house."
Theodore remained silent for a time before finally saying in a suppressed voice, "When will you next have time? When can I you?"

"I don't know. I'll call you when I'm free. I've got to go now."
"What about the mastermind? Don't you want to know who's behind all these, the true culprit who killed Grandma?"
Rosalie stared coldly at Yerick and
said helplessly, "So what if I know? Theodore Spencer, you're rich and powerful you can do all the

investigation you want. Tell me the outcome when you have it, or nothing will come out of us talking."
"Rose, what exactly is going on with you?"
"Nothing. Theo, I'm hanging up. Just don't come."
Just then, Yerick whispered, "Tell him not to hold out any hopes for you. You'll never love him again."
Rosalie's brows furrowed.
"Tell him!" Yerick warned.
Left with no choice, Rosalie said, "And Theo, don't hold out any hopes for me. I'll never love you again."
