Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Settling Scores

As Rose walked over, Maya looked around but didn't spot Rose

"Damn it! Why did she ask me to come here? What does she want?"

If it weren't for the concern that Rose might say something inappropriate in front of Howard, Maya wouldn't have kept the appointment.

But after waiting for just two minutes, Maya became impatient.

"Wait one more minute. If she doesn't show up, it's not my fault!"

Maya stared at the time on her phone.

Just as she said that a voice suddenly sounded from behind, "I'm here!"

Rose had a smile on her face. As she spoke, she lifted her foot and kicked Maya's buttocks forcefully.

"Ah...

Maya

va didn't react in time. Her body staggered forward, and with a splash, she tumbled into the wishing pool in a sprawled position.

Coughing and soaked, Maya stood up embarrassed in the pool after being kicked.

Glaring at Rose, she asked, "Rose, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Think about what you did yesterday, and you'll know what I'm doing." Rose sneered.

Her gaze remained fixed on Maya. A trace of guilt flashed in Maya's eyes. She knew that yesterday at the Chambers residence, she had played a part in the whole incident.

But quickly, Maya dismissed it, "Don't wrongly accuse people. They dislike you, Rose. That's why they're trying to mess with you."

"Is that so? Disliked?" Rose interrupted.

"Maya, you can go and incite them again. If they still dislike me, they can come find me!"

She planned to confront those who came and offended her. With that, Rose left without looking back. The scene caught Howard's eye from a short distance.

In just a few minutes, Howard's face displayed a myriad of expressions. When Rose left, Howard finally snapped out of it.

He wasn't foolish. Although he couldn't hear their conversation, he managed to piece together that 'aya was linked to Rose's fall into the water last night. So, just now, was Rose... settling scores? Heh..." Miles chuckled. T

Maya was furious. She attracted the attention of onlookers around the wishing well in the park.

Afraid of embarrassment, she hastily emerged from the pool and headed to a nearby mall. There, she

Maya gritted her teeth, realizing her phone was waterlogged and unusable. Left with no choice, she

took a taxi to the Shaffer residence.

She didn't expect to find Kelly there again. To her surprise, as soon as she entered, she spotted Kelly coming downstairs Overjoyed, Maya greeted Kelly with a smile "Kelly, you're back! You're finally back!

Maya hugged Kelly in excitement and began sharing her frustrations about Rose, detailing the events. from last night and today. She hoped to incite Kelly to confront Rose. Kelly listened quietly, but her mind seemingly elsewhere.

"Kelly, what's wrong with you today? You seem a bit off."

Maya noticed her friend's unusual behavior.

"It's nothing Rose, she..."

Kelly mentioned Rose, her eyes revealing a hint of unease. In the past few days, she and her mother had visited Chereton and found Angelica Willis.

While the results weren't definite, there was a strong likelihood that Celeste Young was the daughter of the Young family.

if Celeste Young was the daughter of the Young family, Rose would not be an adopted granddaughter" but the legitimate young lady of the Young family. This was unacceptable to Kelly. She couldn't share this discovery with anyone. She even needed to ensure that the secret remained hidden at all costs. Kelly looked at Maya, concealing a scheme in her eyes.

"Maya, don't confront Rose directly. She's the pride of heaven. Everything about her is superior to you. Everyone's attention will always be on her, and that's something no one can change." Kelly's words were strategic, a result of her deep understanding of Maya. Raised in Rose's shadow, Maya had felt envy even in their better moments.

Since the night at the bar when Maya spiked Rose's drink, their bond had crumbled, and any harmony between them vanished.

Compared to before, Maya would only become more Intolerant of Rose's success. Maya sneered.

"What's so great about her, Kelly? You excel in every aspect compared to her. Otherwise, why would Mr. Lane choose you over her?"

At night, Miles escorted Rose back to the Young Estate Tonight, the Young Estate was still brightly lit But as soon as they entered the main gate, Rose felt that the atmosphere was unusual When Rose passed by, the housekeepers and servants stopped and greeted her, showing respectful smiles. It seemed that there were many people in the main building.

"Are there guests at home?" Rose asked while looking at Miles

Miles smiled without saying a word. He intentionally walked behind Rose. When the two entered, Rose felt countless gazes turning towards her

The owners of those gazes, men, and women, were the ones who had bullied her together last night.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Not only them but also several middle-aged people were present. Even Mr. and Mrs. Chambers, as well as Madeline, were here, "Rose, come, sit here"

Mr. Young Senior waved to Rose Rose was stunned for a moment

There were so many people here, yet only Mr. Young Senior was sitting. Everyone else stood respectfully as if listening to a superior's instructions

"What are you standing there for? Come over quickly! Mr. Young Senior urged.

Before Rose entered, Mr. Young Senior wore a gloomy and slightly angry expression. But as soon as Rose appeared, his demeanor softened, and he showed indulgence towards her. Rose couldn't help but smile as she approached and took a seat beside Mr. Young Senior

"Grandpa, what are they doing here?" Rose inquired.

The moment Rose addressed him as "Grandpa", everyone present, including Madeline, felt a palpable shift. Their faces turned even paler.

Before Mr. Young Senior could respond, Madeline was quick to offer an apologetic smile.

"Ms

left speechless. So, they were here to apologize? Was it because they knew she was Mr. Your Senior's new granddaughter?

had Mr. Young Senior done something on her behalf? The sense of protection warmed Rose's heart

Looking at Mr. Young Senior, Rose spoke again, "Grandpa.
