Chapter 259

Chapter 259 Grace placed her hands on her hips and trembled in anger. She pointed at her with her index finger and said. “You sure are great. You’ve only been in a relationship for a few days, but you’re already saying that we belong in two different worlds. You even created a parallel universe. Why don’t you go back to your world then, huh?

“Rose, let me tell you, from today onwards, you don’t have to go to school anymore. You can go to school when you understand what’s going on.”

She couldn’t remember which day it was. “Mom, what right do you have to read my diary? This is my privacy. You’re invading my privacy.” Her tears flowed down her face, and her lips were trembling with anger.

Grace argued back, “Do you really think I want to read it? Look at what you’ve written. It’s all about love. You’re even talking about dying for your love.

I think that you have to be brainwashed”

“You’ve gone too far. How did you know I kept a diary? Did you install a surveillance camera in my room?”

Grace did not deny it. “I’m doing this for your own good. I don’t want you to make mistakes during your adolescence. Don’t be ungrateful.”

A man’s voice said, “You’re too much. How can you install surveillance cameras in your daughter’s room? No matter what, Rose should have a girl’s privacy. Can’t you talk it out nicely with her? Things will backfire if you push her too hard. It’s right that you don’t want her to make a mistake, but if you try to stop her like this, she will be even more disgusted with you.”

Grace was very loud. She did not listen to the advice at all. “Do you think she can be reasoned with when she’s possessed like this? Everything will be on deaf ears. Go and rest. Mind your own business.”

One day, the boy she liked came before her in a wheelchair and said to her, “Rose, with your mother and brother around, no one will like you for the rest of your life. You’ll just be a mindless prisoner.”

She thought, “A mindless prisoner?

“I’m just more obedient to my parents. I’m already resisting.”

“I’m not. Samson, give me a little more time. I’ll get my mother to agree.*

Samson rejected her immediately. It was as if their previous relationship was just a fleeting cloud that did not exist at all. “The threshold of your family is too high. It’s not something someone like me can reach. Rose, we won’t see each other from now on. Don’t pester me anymore. Count me unlucky”

Was he unlucky because he met her?

They were not only a couple but also very good friends.

The war was once again stirred up.

Samson’s words were undoubtedly telling her that his leg injury was the work of her mother and brother. She could end the relationship, but she could not hurt him like that. She felt very guilty. That was what she thought at that time After rushing home, she saw Grace sitting on the sofa and drinking in a good mood. She instructed her subordinates, “That’s it. Carry out the plan and don’t make any more mistakes. You know my principles”

“What night do you have to break someone else’s leg? Do you still have any respect for the law?”

Grace waved her hand to dismiss her subordinate. “Your so-called first love is talking nonsense to you again. Did he tell you why his legs are broken?

Figure out his background before arguing with me. Look at what you’re like now.

“You really can’t tell the difference between good and bad.”

Rose retorted, “Am I not able to tell the difference between good and bad? You installed surveillance cameras in my room, peeked at my diary. and even sent someone to monitor me. Is that the good you’re talking about? If that’s the case, I’d rather not have it. Didn’t you say that my friends are dating me and hanging out with me because my last name is Roberts? I can cut ties with you. I’ll change my last name. You can remove me from the family.”

Grace said sternly, “Rose, don’t challenge my bottom line again.”

“Didn’t you also change your last name to the same as Dad’s? Didn’t you also use your last name to bully others?”

Grace was trembling in anger. She felt that her daughter had been brainwashed by love. “Even if I don’t have your father, I have my own future. I don’t need to rely on anyone’s power.”

“Yes, you’re the lady boss of the gangsters. You have subordinates everywhere. So, do you want to train me to be like you?”

Grace was so angry that she threw a fruit knife at Rose. However, the knife did not land on Rose’s body. Instead, it slashed across Frank’s chest.

Frank stood in front of his sister. However, Rose did not thank Frank for helping her block the knife. She was angry and felt that Frank was in cahoots with her mother. He was the one who broke Samson’s leg for no reason.

Grace felt that her daughter had gone crazy. She was afraid that she would do something bad, so she was unwilling to remove the surveillance cameras. However, Rose had grown up in such a family, so how could she not know how to remove the surveillance cameras? She went back

to her room and easily removed the surveillance cameras.

This kind of protected love made Rose feel that she had lost her freedom, human rights, privacy, and life, It was suffocating That night, Rose slit her wrist and committed suicide. Frank wanted to explain the situation to his sister, but he saw his sister attempting suicide when he walked into the room. Frank called manically for the chauffeur and sent Rose to the hospital.

In the hospital, Frank roared at his mother, “Are you satisfied now?”

When Rose woke up, she knew that she had been saved and would not die. Her face was pale when she suggested that she would leave the Roberts family and Athana.

William agreed and apologized with red eyes. “Alright, I’m sorry I was negligent. Rose, you can do whatever you want. Promise me that you won’t do such a thing again. Your mother and I have worked hard our entire lives to be strong supporters of you and your brother. We know too well how difficult it is to rely on ourselves without any support. So Rose, let’s not do such a scary thing again.”

The Roberts Group was changing from operating in a gray area to a legitimate business. There were always a lot of things to deal with and they were busy every day. Grace was in charge of a lot of things at home. William rarely asked about it. He only wanted to stabilize the Roberts Group as soon as possible.

“Dad, send me away from Athana. I want to go to school in Sapphire City. I want to study medicine.”

William replied, “Then what do you want to learn? I can promise you that I can send you away from Athana. Your mother won’t monitor you either.”

“I want to study medicine. Pediatrics. Send me away tomorrow, Dad. This family is suffocating me.”

“Okay, I promise you. You’re still young. Can I buy you an apartment over there? I won’t buy you a big one. It’ll be small and suitable for your life.

Then, you can bring a nanny over to take care of your daily needs. I guarantee that she won’t send any news back. She’ll just cook and do your chores for you. Is that okay?”

Rose knew that she was still young and could not handle too many things at once. She did not want William to worry, so she nodded in agreement.

Grace did not send her off on the day she left. Frank went, but Rose ignored him. She even glared at him before she left.

Since then, Rose, who had always been obedient, had changed drastically. She became sharp-tongued. She was sometimes deep and heartless at other times.

She was immersed in her memories for a long time. The images were jumping around in her brain. It was a mess.

She looked down at the text message on her phone again. Her vision was blurry, and she could no longer see the text on the phone. However, she remembered every word Grace sent. Unknowingly, tears had already fallen down her face, and they blurred the screen even more. Tears flowed down the screen.

After so many years, Grace had actually apologized. It was a late apology.

It was not easy to make her soften her position.

Rose wiped her tears and did not reply. She picked up the cutter and continued opening her packages with blurry eyes. Her movements were mechanical. She seemed to be venting.

The corners of her lips curled up. She was mocking herself. Thinking back to that time, she had done something ridiculous for a scumbag.

She had regretted it before, but she couldn’t accept her mother’s domineering attitude. Would things have turned out differently if Grace had used another method to tell her how disgusting human nature was?

However, there were no ifs. If there were any ifs in life, then these things wouldn’t have happened if she had seen through the scumbag’s true colors earlier. She wouldn’t have been so stupid if she hadn’t been so young back then. If something like that had happened to her now, she wouldn’t have attempted suicide even if she was beaten to death. She would rather live a rotten life.

It was better to live than to die. That was what Rose was thinking now. Life was precious and not easy to come by.

Frank originally planned to drive to Lithern Club, but when he was about to reach Lithern Club, he received a message from William.

“Your mother sent an apology message to Rose. Go back and check on Rose.”

After reading the message, Frank did not hesitate to turn the steering wheel. He turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. Under his sunglasses, his eyes were as cold as ice. The half hour drive was shortened to 18 minutes.

After parking the car, he even left the doors unlocked as he stepped out of the car and walked quickly to the villa.

When Frank pushed the door open and entered, he saw Rose silently crying as she opened the package mechanically and scratched randomly on the cardboard box. He frowned and his eyes darkened. He strode over and casually threw his coat on the ground. He slowly squatted down and took the paper knife from Rose.

He suppressed his feelings and tried to sound as gentle as possible. “That’s enough. Give me the knife.”

Rose acted as if she did not hear anything and continued to open the cardboard box with the knife in her hand. Frank helplessly and carefully snatched the knife away and threw it aside.

The sound of the knife making contact with the clean tiles was exceptionally clear and loud in the large and silent living room.

It could make one’s heart skip a beat.

Rose’s tears fell as her hand was emptied. Frank squatted down and held her head with one hand. He slowly turned her head around and pressed her into his arms. He continued to restrain his emotions. His eyes darkened and he lowered his voice. “Let it out. This won’t happen again. I promise you.”

The next second, Rose cried her heart out. The entire silent living room was filled with her cries.

She kept hitting Frank’s chest, again and again, desperately venting her emotions.

Frank did not feel any pain at all. He did not even frown. His face was tense. He pursed his lips and did not say anything else. He just let Rose vent her emotions This matter had been buried in her heart for too long. It was so long that she had forgotten that Grace still owed her an apology. It was so long that she would not be able to see the healed wound until she took off her watch. These were things that she did not want to remember.

It was both her fault and Grace’s fault.

After suppressing her emotions for so long, she desperately needed an outlet. However, Grace’s apology came just in time.

After crying for a long time, Frank’s clothes were drenched. He didn’t know if he was drenched in tears or snort. Rose only raised her head when she couldn’t cry anymore. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she said in a heavy nasal voice, “You still owe me an apology”

Frank’s legs were numb from squatting for so long, so he simply sat on the carpet next to Rose. As soon as he sat down, he realized that something was wrong. He looked down. Wasn’t this the carpet custom-made in his room?

Without a doubt, it was the work of this crybaby in front of him.

He closed his eyes and told himself to calm down. This was a carpet that he had custom-made overseas, but this girl had casually thrown it on the ground as a cushion. Frank sat cross-legged with one hand on his leg and propped his cheek on his hand. He looked at his sister and said, “For breaking your ex boyfriend’s leg? I didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t try to forcefully press it on me.”

Rose looked down at Frank. She sniffed and said gloomily. “He doesnt deserve the words “ex-boyfriend”. You clearly know that he’s a scumbag Why didn’t you tell me?”

Frank was stunned. Thinking that she did not know, he changed to a relaxed tone. I’m afraid of smearing your first love. I cherish my life.” Rose kicked him angrily. “You’re so annoying. Do you like being a scapegoat that much?”

Just as Rose thought that he would not apologize, Frank looked at her in a daze and apologized sincerely. “I’m sorry, it was wrong of me.” Hearing this, Rose had tears in her eyes, but still smiled and said generously, “Since you’re sincere, I accept it.”

At first, Rose thought that Frank was just like Grace, spying on her. She hated being controlled by Rose and Frank. However, after knowing that the man was a scumbag, she waited for Frank to tell her the truth. In the end, he did not say a word or explain anything for a few years. That was why Rose was angry.

Frank placed his hands behind his back, crossed his legs, and placed his hands on the ground. He looked at his sister, who had finished venting her emotions, and her mood clearly improved. “I won’t argue with you tonight on account of you crying like a dog. I’ll be your punching bag for free. Hit me. After today, you won’t get this benefit anymore.”

The siblings looked at each other on the carpet for a while, but Rose still did not make a move, She only rolled her eyes at him in disdain.

Frank had never expected Rose to commit suicide. All these years, he had regretted his decision. If he had told her the truth earlier, he might have avoided this scar. This was the thing he blamed himself for the most. He had thought that it was for her own good, but he had harmed

her.

Frank urged, “Are you going to hit me or not? if you miss this opportunity, you won’t have another one.”

Rose pulled Frank’s sleeve and wiped her tears and snot. Then, she said, “No, I’m afraid of Ava coming to me for revenge”

Frank did not slap his clothes in disdain. He just allowed Rose to wipe her tears and snot on his sleeve.

He remained silent and did not answer Rose’s question at all.

One would be in a completely different mood when one had vented one’s emotions. After everything was resolved, the way that the brother and sister interacted with each other would naturally change, “Hey, what do you think of Ava? Do you have any interest in her? Give me a definite answer. The last time I asked you, you didn’t say anything. Doesn’t it feel suffocating keeping everything to yourself?”

Frank opened his eyes and glared at her. “Is my name “Hey’? At least I bought you a whole room of presents. Is it not worth you calling me something different?”

Rose tilted her head. Her eyes were red and swollen. She wasn’t in her best state. “Anyway, you’re bored now. Let’s have a heart-to-heart. Can you help me open the present, my dear brother?”

Her face was filled with disdain, but her hands were already moving. She picked up the knife that had been thrown aside and muttered unhappily, “Those who know will think that you have too much money. Those who don’t know will think that you storing up for the end of the world.”

Rose continued to make Ava’s presence known “I wonder if Ava is blind to actually think that you’re cute when you insult people.”

The two of them were very cooperative. Frank unpacked and Rose would sort things into different categories.

Frank snorted and threw an empty cardboard box far away. “You think everyone can see the good in me, but you don’t know what’s good for you.”

“Yes, yes, yes. My brother is the best. Well, I can’t find a word that matches you in the Oxford Dictionary. I have to customize one”

*We’ll talk about it when we find it. Don’t give me empty promises”

Rose playfully approached Frank and bumped his shoulder. “Why don’t I give Princess Ava to you?”

Hearing this, Frank’s hand that was holding the knife paused. Half a second later, he said, “Take care of yourself. Be more careful when you find a boyfriend in the future.”

“You’re not going to let this go that easily, are you?” wondered Rose.

“You change the topic as soon as Ava is mentioned. Do you like her or not? Or are you afraid that she will interfere with your marriage?”

Frank replied without looking up. “Children don’t have to worry about adult matters. When are you going to work?”

Rose shrugged her shoulders. She knew that this person did not intend to answer her question. She did not force him. She could not get anything out of him. “The day after tomorrow. Natalie and the others will start work the day after tomorrow. I plan to go the day after tomorrow too. It will be more lively to eat together”

“Do you want me to call 50 people to eat with you tomorrow? You’re going to work, not to a gathering. Please install a GPS on yourself to know your place.”

After a few hours, the presents were all unpacked. When Frank packed the cardboard box to the door, he was already sweating profusely. He suspected that Rose was here to torture him.

When he walked in, he saw that Rose was still sorting out the things she had bought online. “You’re torturing yourself. Can’t you buy less next time? If there’s a next time, I’ll confiscate the bank card. You can survive by yourself.”

Rose was also filled with regret. How could she have known that she would buy so much at once? She would rather die than buy so much in the future. There was just too much. She just wanted to be generous to herself occasionally. She didn’t want to spend the rest of her life unpacking things she had bought online. “I won’t buy this much in the future. You’re not serious about taking back what you gave, right?”

Frank looked at her calmly. “If you don’t work tomorrow, come home with me.”

What needed to be resolved had to be resolved. They couldn’t be cut off from each other for the rest of their lives. It was already rare for Grace to make a series of apologies.

It was great to know that one could learn one’s mistakes.

She had also thought about many things during her stay in Sapphire City. There were a few times when she seemed to have seen Grace’s figure in a daze after class. However, on second thought, this person was so arrogant that she would definitely not come to see her.

After all, they were mother and daughter. Her heart softened. Perhaps she no longer hated her deep down. She just needed a way out and a breakthrough. Perhaps after knowing that the man was a scumbag, she regretted her rebellion.

However, once something was done, it could not be erased. The estrangement had already formed. Rose needed an apology, and Grace needed a way out.

Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 258 My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise Chapter 227 Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen Chapter 340 After pausing for a while, Rose went upstairs with a pile of goods. “Got it.”

Frank watched as she laboriously moved the spoils of war on the ground. He squatted down and carried a pile as well. “Where are you putting them?

Do I have to give you a whole room to store them? You’re so spoilt Rose followed behind Frank in a good mood. She felt that this idea was not bad. “Cranky Franky...”

After receiving Frank’s sharp gaze, she quickly changed her words. “Frank, I think your idea is really good. Why don’t you implement it?”

“I don’t plan to adopt you for the rest of my life. You’re just staying here temporarily. Do you really think you can do whatever you want in my house?”

“That’s true. If I really did that, Ava might not like it. Alright, I’ll still prioritize my future sister-in-law. Although I don’t know if my future. sister-in-law is Ava, I’m still a sensible person.”

“Cut the crap. Are we eating dinner or not?”

“Yes, where are you taking me to eat delicious food? I’ve been eating at the Grand Manor for a few days. I’m not going...”

Frank walked at the front and moved the things to her room, ignoring the troublemaker behind him
