A Lesson for Rose

A Lesson for Rose

Neither of them spoke in the room. Kelly's lips curved slightly. Her features weren't as refined as Rose's or as elegant as Anastasia's, yet her confidence added a certain radiance to her face. Anastasia stared at Kelly. However, Kelly smiled faintly.

Finally, Anastasia frowned and said, "I heard Aunt Rietta was a very beautiful woman, but why do I feel like you don't..."

Anastasia paused as she tried to choose her words carefully. But her expressions conveyed more than words ever could and revealed her disdain for Kelly's appearance.

Kelly didn't anticipate such a direct attack on her looks. Anastasia's words immediately struck a nerve as she was already feeling inferior to Rose's beauty. Kelly's smile vanished instantly.

She glared at Anastasia, "What do you mean? Do you doubt that I'm a fake? If you have doubts, let's go ask Grandpa to clarify this."Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Kelly grabbed Anastasia's wrist, attempting to pull her out of the room. Anastasia coldly smiled and forcefully pulled her back. Anastasia coldly smirked.

"In a rush?"

Under that gaze, Kelly's eyes flickered slightly.

Irritated, she retorted, "Why should I rush? Why should endure your suspicion?"

Anastasia realized that involving Mr. Young Senior would only favor Kelly. Her probing was meant to test Kelly, but the outcome...

Anastasia frowned and quickly apologized, "Kelly, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Truth be told, I've never seen Aunt Celeste."

She added, "Whenever Grandpa's adopted daughter in Regalia mentions Aunt Rietta, Grandpa's expression changes. I assumed it was because of Aunt Celeste's beauty."

I've never met her!"

Kelly bit her lip. According to Angelica's orphanage records, she was sent there at birth and hadn't seen. her biological mother.

However, she heard that the Young family's adopted daughter had met Celeste. What if the adopted daughter in Regalia dug up something?

Anastasia observed Kelly's reaction. She intentionally mentioned that the Young family's adopted daughter had met Celeste.

Though Mr. Young Senior's memory was fading, the adopted daughter might still remember something. Kelly started to feel anxious. Anastasia lightly chuckled.

"Kelly, you're the true heiress of the Young family. You'll have to look out for me from now on."

Anastasia held Kelly's hand and gave her an affectionate hug. This unexpected friendly gesture left Kelly momentarily puzzled. She forced a smile.

"What are you talking about? I don't know anything. I might need your care in the future." Anastasia suggested, "How about we take care of each other? Her eyes met Kelly's, Suddenly, she thought of Rose and sighed.

"Rose is stubborn. I don't know what she's thinking. She'd rather leave the Young family than apologize to you. She pushed you and injured you. She should apologize!" Rose... Kelly's eyes narrowed.

"Rose has never liked me. No matter what I do, she dislikes it. Maybe she inherently despises me."

Anastasia said coldly. "If Rose doesn't like you, it's her fault. She might need a good lesson."

A lesson for Rose! Kelly worked so hard to become a part of the Young family.

How could she feel at ease without a sense of presence around Rose? Kelly stayed silent. Anastasia patted her chest suddenly.

"Don't worry, Rose would have liked you. Trust me!"

Anastasia left the room with a meaningful smile. Once the door closed, her smile vanished as she glanced disdainfully at the door. Kelly's demeanor too turned cold and calculating.

Although Anastasia was probing and trying to please Kelly, she knew that Anastasia would investigate her. However, what difference would it make?

Even the results Mr. Young Senior found confirmed she was his granddaughter. Even if Anastasia investigated, she couldn't come up with any different results. Moreover...

Kelly's thoughts turned sinister. Rose slept unusually well. She dreamt of childhood moments with her mother. Images of her mother were still vivid in her dreams.

Upon waking up, she noticed someone sleeping beside her. The bareback surprised her. It was Jonathan. She was about to wake him but hesitated as she didn't want the awkwardness upon his awakening. She quietly left the room, got ready, and left Zenwood Gardens.oday, she had no plans to visit the Young's House of Jewels.

She had spoken harshly to Mr. Young Senior yesterday, and she decided it was better to stay away before being asked to leave. Celeste Jewels was her domain.

"Mom, I will surely expand Celeste Jewels!" Rose encouraged herself before entering Century Tower.

However, she found the entire office area in chaos upon arrival. William rushed out of the elevator with a -worried look.

"Ms. Shaffer, I was just about to call you. There was a break-in last night. Several companies lost. valuables from their safes."

He continued, "Some of the jewelry from our company's safe is missing too. The surveillance footage was damaged. No evidence was left behind."

Rose had her suspicions. Thieves and damaged surveillance? It couldn't be just a coincidence. Someone deliberately created the illusion of more than just her company being robbed.

A Lesson for Rose

This must be meticulously orchestrated. Rose thought Kelly would take some time to stabilize her position. She didn't expect Kelly to be so eager to come after her.

"Let's report this and take inventory of what's missing." Rose sold calmly.

William hesitated. He didn't expect Rose to be so composed. Soon, he calmed down.

As he went to check the list of missing items, he discovered an influx of resignation emails in the company's inbox. Almost half of the employees had resigned.

This development struck William as peculiar. He promptly reported it to Rose, but Rose remained unruffled as she listened attentively.

"Ms. Shaffer, what should we do?"

These people were originally from Young's House of Jewels, and William had heard the rumors that Miles had sent them to support Rose.

William gritted his teeth and suggested, "Ms. Shaffer, should we give Mr. Miles a call?"
