Rose didn't know why her heart was beating so fast. It was not a feeling of love, but a feeling of fear.
She really didn't understand what Bright wanted to do and why he had to do it.
Obviously, He had a real Mrs. Lee. Why couldn’t he invite her out to see his parents? Instead, he made
her pretend and now he wanted her to continue faking it?
He could continue acting, but she couldn’t anymore!
“Mr. Lee, I told you last time that I am married—” Rose was interrupted by him before she finished
speaking. He heard Bright's low and magnetic voice. “Ms. Linder, don't mention the person who turned
into a star.”
“...” Rose rolled her eyes indecently. “I mean it, whether you believe it or not.”
“I believe it, and I even know who he is.” Bright followed her words but made Rose more nervous.
He actually knew who her mysterious husband was?
Rose's eyebrows furrowed gently, like thin creases on white lily petals. “You investigated me again?”
The thought of Bright using his power to invade her privacy made her feel disgusted.
Could people with money and power play like this?
In front of him, she was like a transparent person who had been stripped naked by him. She had been
seen by him, so she had no privacy at all.
“Ms. Linder, I don't investigate everyone, and there are some things that do not require me to
investigate.” Bright explained indirectly that he did not investigate her at all.
Rose didn’t entirely believe Bright's words. If he didn't investigate, how could he know who her husband
was?
Or was he bluffing?
“Ms. Linder can't say who your husband is. Perhaps you’ve never met your husband? You don't want to
know who he is?” He continued asking her when he didn’t get a response.
“No.” Rose affirmed.
Anyway, it wouldn’t be long before they divorced. She and her husband were legally related. It was a
contractual relationship between her and her husband, without feelings and children.
She really wanted to find out who that person was before divorcing.
“Ms. Linder is really straightforward. If your husband knew, don’t you think he would be sad.” Bright
sighed lightly, as if he was feeling sorry for Rose's husband. “Ms. Linder is really cruel.”
“Mr. Lee, this is my business and has nothing to do with you. And this kind of thing is not something
you can interfere with as an outsider. I hope you can stop.” Rose really didn’t feel cruel. How could it
hurt when there were no feelings?
“I've made it clear. If there is nothing else, that's it. I'm sleepy.” Rose wanted to rest early. She needed
to devote herself to work tomorrow.
“Alright, we will discuss when we meet again tomorrow.” Bright nodded lightly and didn't mind Rose's
cold rejection.
“See you tomorrow?” Rose raised her voice. “Mr. Lee, don't you understand?”
Then what was the point of everything she just said?
Or perhaps he, Bright, simply had a brain problem. Then how did he manage a huge company like HY
Group?”
“If you are in a hurry, we can meet and discuss right now.” Bright said, sounding overwhelming, as if
everything was in his control.
“Where are you?” Rose got up and ran to the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling windows to look away,
fearing that he would drive to her house again like last time.
It was night, the lights were dim and the shadows of the trees were mottled...as if no one was there.
“It doesn’t matter where I am. What’s important is that as long as you want to see me now, I will appear
right away. For you, I have a lot of time. We can talk slowly.”
Oh my! Was this what the cold Bright said?
He usually didn’t look like the socializing type, but now he made her weak with his words.
The person talking to her on the other side was probably a fake Bright.
His words really made her unable to answer... she didn't even notice that her bright white ears were
tinted with a light crimson.
“Rose? Asleep?” She hadn't spoken for a long time, and he called her.
Rose was worried about how to answer his words. Suddenly, her eyes turned slightly, and she moved
the phone away from her ears before speaking. “Hello...hello? Mr. Lee, what did you say...hello... the
signal is not good...”
Then she clicked the end of the call button and turned off the phone.
Hugh…
She held the phone in front of her chest and exhaled nervously, his soft words still echoing in her ears.
The corners of her lips curled slightly, and then she put on a straight face, hum, she didn't want to see
him and wished him could stay as far away as possible.
He couldn't call her now. She had to sleep well and planned to worry about everything else tomorrow.
Rose closed the floor-to-ceiling windows and returned to the room, went to bed and turned off the
lights.
There were still many things to do tomorrow...
Early the next morning, while eating breakfast, Joy received a call. Because of what the other party
said, her expression changed and the spoon in her hand fell into the porridge bowl in front of her with a
“clink”, splashing the porridge out.
“Don't worry, I'll come right away.” Joy quickly pushed aside the chair and got up, but accidentally
kicked her foot, which made her gritted her teeth in pain.
Chandler looked at Joy in a panic: “What are you doing? What happened?”
“You come with me.” Joy pulled up Chandler.
“I haven't finished my meal yet.” Chandler took a bite of the bun in his hand.
“What else do you care about besides eating, hurry up.” Joy grabbed the half of the bun in his hand
and glanced in Rose’s direction without a trace.
Chandler got up and picked up the stolen bun and put it in his mouth, leaving with Joy reluctantly.
After they left, Jennifer finally spoke. “What can make them panicked like that.”
“Grandma, there are some things we can't control. We just need to be happy every day.” Rose just took
a look at Joy and was more or less clear in her heart that it was about Sophie.
It seemed that something must have happened to Sophie, otherwise Joy would not panic like that.
“Well, you must remember to bring Doris back to me today.” Jennifer reminded her.
“Okay. I'll go to Nora’s place after work.” Rose remembered. She also wanted Doris to be by her side
as soon as possible.
“Why don't you ask for a leave today, go now, I want to see Doris immediately.” Jennifer was worried.
“Grandma, it won’t be appropriate to ask for a leave after I just went to work for a day, right?” Rose
said, as if her grandma was making things difficult for her. “It's just a few hours anyway. Just bear with it
a little bit.”
Jennifer could only sigh lightly and replied cutely. “Okay, then.”
Rose kissed her grandma's face and then picked up her purse and went to work.
As soon as she walked out of the gate of Linder's villa, she saw a black Bentley car parked there.
What in front of her seemed familiar.
