“Flynn, this isn’t over between us! I won’t rest until you pay!” Charlotte shouted with malice in her heart.
Flynn knew exactly what she was thinking, but he didn’t care. With his temper, if Matteo wasn’t there to intervene, Charlotte’s behavior today would have been enough to ruin her forever.
Flynn pulled out his phone and was about to make a call when he realized something embarrassing – he didn’t have Marcel’s number. But luckily for him, Marcel had left his contact information on the back of the contract draft. Flynn entered the number and made the call.
“That guy doesn’t even have Mr. Hill’s number! From this alone we can tell that Flynn definitely got the contract through Rose!”
“Yeah, if they were acquaintances, how could he not have saved his number? I thought this guy had some potential but it turns out he just copied someone else’s work!”
“Fine! Let him enjoy his victory for now; we’ll get him later.”
The Kaur family whispered among themselves with gritted teeth.
After finishing the call, Flynn turned to Madeline and said, “Marcel has agreed; today we will print out all of the details of our agreement. We can go pick up our contract tomorrow.”
Hearing these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief including Madeline who relaxed her furrowed brow.
The Kaur family ate their meal in silence as they chewed on the tasteless food while some looked down at their phones or pondered things internally.
Paulina however enjoyed everything she ate despite trying hard to control herself; she couldn’t help showing off a smile on her face from time-to-time while eating.
“Hmm? Rose is hooking up with Cruz?”
One young member of the Kaur family was looking at their phone when they suddenly saw an explosive message in Niarak’s socialite group chat about Rose and Cruz getting together.
“Is it true?” Several girls immediately crowded around them.
“It is true! There are pictures as proof!”
Scarlet and Madeline heard about this news too so they both opened the social media after hearing murmurs from others around them.
For days there hadn’t been any messages sent within that group chat but now it exploded again after being silent for so long.
The photos of Rose wearing fashionable long dresses appeared in the socialite circle like celebrity portraits. Each photo featured the Thodell Mansion as the backdrop, showcasing various locations such as the pool, balcony, living room, garage, and the master bedroom. Rose had a total of over a dozen photos, with a particular focus on the master bedroom.
Especially on the bed in the master bedroom, there were two branded suits worn by men, along with a pair of leather shoes and a pair of rolled-up socks.
In those photos, Rose wore a bathrobe with wet hair dripping down while smiling slightly at corners of her mouth.
“Could it be that Rose or someone else photoshopped these pictures? I’ve never heard of any rumors about Rose before!”
“These photos were all taken from Ms. Sharp’s social media, how could they be fake? The shooting time was at 1am, it’s confirmed! Rose is going to rise up!”
“Oh my god, no wonder Orion and Edwin invested a billion in Energence Pharmaceuticals, Katrina’s team also joined Energence Pharmaceuticals. It turns out there are people behind Rose!”
The younger generation of the Kaur family enthusiastically commented.
The women envied Rose for becoming the girlfriend of a war hero while the men were jealous that Cruz married one of the top three most beautiful women in Niarak.
Madeline was shocked by Rose’s rise from adversity to become a woman of warrior.
Flynn paused for a moment and sneered at Rose’s cleverness.
This woman didn’t even know that there was someone right beside her who was hundreds of times stronger than Cruz!
“What if Cruz finds out about this news one day? He’ll probably jump up and curse her!”
“It seems like trouble always comes knocking on Niarak even when we’re sitting comfortably at home.”
Flynn thought to himself as he imagined Cruz scratching his head with an expression full of confusion.
A bitter smile appeared on Flynn’s face as he thought, “Rose ah, you really are talented!”
Seeing Flynn smile, Madeline shook her head and said, “Do you think that just because Rose has climbed up to Cruz she can rise up too? Layla is here; there is no way she can surpass her.”
“You’re being delusional.”
In their eyes Layla was like a goddess but in his, she was just like a little sister.
Flynn lost interest in explaining further after hearing Madeline’s words. Just as he finished wiping his mouth with tissue paper, his phone rang. it was Katrina calling him.
“Mr. Clark,” Katrina said over the phone, “Pharmacist Roman has arrived in Niarak and is currently visiting the Wong family.”
“He doesn’t have your number so he asked me when you would be available so he could visit you personally.”
Flynn hesitated for a moment before replying, “He shouldn’t bother himself since I will go see him instead.”
Before being released from prison, Flynn had changed his phone number so that he could have some peace but now Roman knew where he lived again. A few days ago Roman received an important call from Elder Six at Imperial Center which made him decide to come to Niarak; something important must have happened but Flynn didn’t want anything to do with it.
However, the old man came over himself and had something for him to do, so he had to agree.
“Okay, I’ll call Mr. Price later.”
“Hmm… the Bone-Cleansing Pill you provided has passed the second clinical trial. Do you want to come and take a look?” Katrina was very polite.
“Your efficiency is quite high. I’ll go over now!” Flynn hung up the phone and smiled at Matteo, saying, “Mr. Kaur, I have to go to the company first. See you later.”
“Oh sure, work is most important after all!” Matteo nodded approvingly and said, “Now that you have a job, Kaur’s Group is also on track.”
“Madeline got married too. Why don’t you move in with us? You two can get along better.”
“It’s not right that she’s been renting outside all this time.”
Flynn glanced at Madeline and saw that she looked very uncomfortable. He laughed and said, “No thanks. There are too many things going on lately; it would be too much of a disturbance for your rest.”
After saying this, Flynn left the hall directly.
He soon arrived at Energence Pharmaceuticals and went straight to the CEO’s office.
“Ms. Sharp, are you bored?” Flynn asked bluntly as he opened the door.
Rose was looking through some documents but didn’t look up when she heard Flynn speak; however, she knew what he meant so she replied indifferently, “I’ve never seen such a luxurious villa before so I took some pictures inside it for my post. How does that make me bored?”
“And besides,” Rose continued without missing a beat, “I didn’t say anything! Did my post mention Cruz by name?”
“In fact,” Flynn said, “you don’t need to use these kinds of tactics. It’s an unnecessary move on your part.”
Rose wanted people in Niarak like Braiden etc., to be intimidated by stirring up trouble about Cruz through this incident.
Flynn knew this was one way of doing things but it wasn’t what he wanted.
“I assure you every decision I make isn’t unnecessary,” Rose calmly stated.
But upon hearing her words, Flynn shook his head, “What will happen if people start talking about how you’re just clinging onto men? They’ll say that all there is about you is just being eye candy!”
“Is this really what you want?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Rose paused from writing her notes, and suddenly looked up, “Ten years ago, my mother committed suicide, my father went into prison, and I carried the Sharp’s Group alone for ten years, and eventually it still went bankrupt.”
“But, I refuse. I refuse!”
“That night, I knelt in front of my mother’s grave and begged her spirit in heaven for a chance. I swore to work ten times harder than before!”
“Even if it meant sacrificing my life for this opportunity!”
“Now, that chance has come. If I can help my family regain their lost territory and avenge my mother, what does it matter if the entire Niarak people turn against me?”
In an instant, tears as clear as crystal and hot as fire rolled down Rose’s soft cheeks. They splashed onto the table with a burst of killing intent!
“When the Sharp Group went bankrupt, I died inside. The only reason I’m still alive is to seek revenge!”
