“Rose, you need to know that besides your parents, there are many people who love you.”
“Molly, Harriet, Scarlet, the team from the R&D department, and your fifty thousand employees.”
“They are your friends, employees, and even your family.”
“Take back everything that was lost, bring comfort to your parents in heaven, provide for your employees, make those who love you love you even more, and let those who harm you perish.”
“These are all the reasons for you to keep living!”
Flynn allowed Rose to cry and vent her emotions while his hands had nowhere to rest.
After some time, Rose’s crying gradually subsided.
She lifted herself from Flynn’s warm and broad chest and wiped away her tears.
“Thank you. Let’s handle what comes next together,” Rose said as she walked towards the bar’s entrance.
The word “thank you” contained so much meaning that it couldn’t be expressed in just one night.
Rose wasn’t good at expressing herself, but Flynn understood.
The Porsche sped along the roads of Niarak.
The autumn air grew colder, but Rose felt warm in Flynn’s coat.
She finally turned on her phone.
As soon as it powered on, she saw hundreds of missed calls on the screen.
Thirty-something of them were from Flynn, Scarlet, Molly, Harriet, and other acquaintances.
There were also three missed calls from Lilia Hussain.
As business rivals, it was necessary for them to have each other’s numbers.
But why did Lilia Hussain call?
Just as Rose was puzzled, Lilia Hussain called again.
Furrowing her brows, Rose answered the call.
“Rose! You’re fucking amazing! Disappear on your own and Flynn comes to me causing trouble. Just wait for me! This isn’t over!”
“Especially that bastard Flynn. You tell him that once everything is over, if he doesn’t get his filthy hands chopped off, I swear I won’t go by Lilia Hussain anymore!”
“You just wait! Ahh! Just wait!”
Lilia Hussain no longer resembled a billionaire CEO. She transformed into a shrewish woman who even cursed over the phone.
Her voice trembled with anger.
Rose hung up without saying a word and glanced at Flynn who was focused on driving.
A hint of suspicion arose within her.
What had Flynn done to Lilia Hussain to make her lose control like this?
Rose hadn’t seen Lilia Hussain in such a state in ten years.
She was so angry that she had lost her rationality.
Rose’s phone was bombarded with countless messages.
Aside from some executives expressing concern, most of the messages were about her disappearance and the resulting news coverage.
Over a dozen prominent families in Niarak mobilized their forces and searched every corner, leaving no stone unturned.
Even the underworld forces in Niarak were eradicated within six hours.
Even members of the Sharp family received slaps in the face.
Especially her third uncle who treated Rose with utmost disdain after the Sharp’s Group went bankrupt-he had his arm broken directly.
Rose knew that it was Flynn’s doing.
This man had turned Niarak upside down in his search for her!
Before Rose could finish reading all the messages on her phone, Emerson Stewart called again.
When she answered, Margot Stewart’s voice came through the line.
“Rose, are you crazy? If you want to disappear, then just die! How are you still alive?”
“Flynn couldn’t find you and he came to the Stewart family and slapped my son multiple times. He even threatened to dig out his brain for my husband to eat!”
“Flynn is nothing but a scoundrel! A beast!”
“You all just wait for me tomorrow…”
Warmth enveloped Rose’s heart. Her eyes became clear as crystal as she hung up the phone directly.
To many people, Flynn was trouble-a scoundrel.
But to Rose, Flynn was a harbor, someone she could rely on in this world.
When she was at her lowest point, this man held her hand and helped her climb back up the mountain.
Whenever she felt helpless, Flynn always appeared by her side.
Flynn gave Rose everything!
No matter how cold-blooded or dominant Rose may be, at this moment, she couldn’t control herself as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Looking at Flynn’s sharply defined face and his arms with veins like coiling dragons, Rose suddenly felt a long-lost sense of security.
In the past ten years, all she remembered were deceit and betrayal surrounding her.
Especially after Kevin Sharp went to prison.
Seeing her relatives’ greedy faces during her mother’s funeral made her sick. It became an unforgettable nightmare for Rose.
In the past, she supported the Sharp’s Group alone. But now she had Flynn by her side.
Flynn took care of everything for her…
“Ms. Sharp is back!”
A voice interrupted Rose’s thoughts as they arrived home.
The entrance of the villa was filled with people-Scarlet, Molly, Harriet, and Katrina…
All their friends were there with red eyes. Molly even had tears streaming down her face.
They empathized with Rose and understood the pain of losing both parents.
Rose glanced at Scarlet before taking off her coat and handing it to Flynn. She opened the car door and walked towards them.
“I’m fine. I’m sorry for making you all worried sick. It won’t happen again.” At this moment, Rose was no longer a CEO but rather a friend and confidante to everyone present.
Seeing Rose’s genuine smile made everyone feel relieved.
No one spoke further as they entered the villa together.
Molly informed Rose about tomorrow’s plans so she could make decisions.
“I bought Deer Summit. It only holds my mother’s grave right now. When my father’s body returns tomorrow, let him rest there too.”
“We’ll bury him after seeing him one last time.”
A hint of sorrow flashed through Rose’s eyes but disappeared in an instant.
The ancestral grave of the Sharp Family wasn’t located there originally. After falling out with their relatives, Rose chose another burial site instead.
Deer Summit was the most peaceful place in Niarak where one could see fields of chrysanthemums in spring along with vast stretches of roses.
Tinley Stevens liked tranquility and loved chrysanthemums. Kevin Sharp was no different. It would be good if they were buried there.
“Alright. I’ll go pick up your father’s coffin tomorrow while you wait at Deer Summit,” Flynn said. He arranged everything and made a call to Orion Kennedy later.
Information from the Raven King also came through.
Kevin Sharp’s coffin would arrive at Ostrad tomorrow at ten o’clock, coming ashore at East Sea in Shipmeda State.
Everyone was busy helping Rose prepare the funeral supplies, meticulously arranging every detail for the service.
They were busy until past eleven o’clock when people gradually dispersed.
In the villa, only Flynn, Molly, and Scarlet remained, deciding to stay there to protect Rose and ensure she wouldn’t feel alone.
The lights in Rose’s villa burned brightly, while the Stewart family was also busy, huddled together as they read messages on their phones, their faces lighting up with joy.
The news of Kevin Sharp’s death had spread like wildfire.
There was no way to keep it a secret, and frankly, there was no need to.
Several heads of wealthy families had learned about it through Edwin Gallagher and others.
Some of Kevin Sharp’s close friends from his lifetime had called Rose, wanting to pay their last respects.
However, Rose declined all their offers.
Her parents preferred a quiet farewell, and only a few close friends would be invited to the funeral. Rose thanked everyone for their kindness.
“What a great thing! An absolutely huge relief! Kevin Sharp is finally gone!”
“Rose must be heartbroken, right? Mirra is coming to Niarak first thing tomorrow. We have to pay our last respects!”
“Haha…”
With their future son-in-law being a Great Grandmaster and bringing three other Great Grandmaster friends to Niarak, how could they pass up the opportunity to humiliate Rose?
The next day, just as dawn broke, a piece of news bombarded every circle in Ostrad.
One of the four emperors of the Obsidian Realm, the master of the Asura Palace, the absolute killing god with three hundred thousand followers, and a Greater Sovereign, the Raven King, was coming to Ostrad!
This news was nothing short of a bombshell. Even Layla Woods was taken aback.
The Raven King, a figure of godlike power with tens of thousands of men under his command, was actually coming to Ostrad!
Having dominated the Westmarch for so long, what could possibly bring him here?
Speculations ran wild, and the atmosphere was electric with anticipation…
