Chapter 1074 His Child (13)
Rose watched coldly as Shiloh continued to cry andin about her grievances, but never spoke up to defend herself,
Shiloh was so overwhelmed by Rose''s gaze that she turned to Conner once again, andined with a sense of grievance.
"Honey, look at the scratches on my neck!”
"This was Rose''s doing too. She wanted to take the ne from my neck to sell it, deliberately scratched my neck, and even tried to kill me for
more money,” she used.
"She really didn''t give me any room to maneuver!"
Conner believed Shiloh''s words and red at Rose angrily, rearing, "Rose, apologize to your mother right now!"
"She is not my mother." Rose lightly retorted, looking at Conner with a gaze devoid of any emotion
Upon hearing this, Conner became even angrier and his tone of voice also increased by a degree.
"Outrageous! Rose, are you trying to turn the world upside down?"
Rose showed no fear, only coldly watching Conner who was furious in front of her, as if she were looking at a stranger.
Shiloh pretended to sab in a pitiful manner, putting on an air of magnanimity as she said, "Rose, as your elder, I can overlook what just happened if
you return the ne to me."
Rose sneered andughed mockingly. her eyes cold and indifferent.
How can this disgusting woman speak such self-righteous words?
Conner saw that his wife had behaved so gracefully, but Rose remained motionless in ce, making him even more annoyed.
"Rose, apologize immediately and return the ne to your stepmother.”
Madeleine pretended to be sensible andforted, "Rose, things have developed to this point. You should apologize to Mom, be a little submissive
and then return the ne to her. This matter will be solved."
"After all, we are still a family, aren''t we?"
After Madeleine finished speaking, she immediately gave a signal to her mother who was standing beside her.
After seeing the look in her daughter''s eyes, Shiloh nodded knowingly and said in agreement, "Yes, Rose. After all these years, I''ve considered you
as my own daughter. How could I possibly care about such trivial matters with you?"
Rose locked coldly at the angry man who was supposed to be her father, and heard the shameless words of the mother and daughter, but she didn''t
feel any anger. She only felt mockery and ridiculousness.
She reached out and delicately held the ne in her hand, her dark eyes locked onto the three people before her. She spoke each word with
determination, saying, "This ne belongs to my mother, and I will not give it away."
"What are you talking about?" Shiloh looked surprised. "I bought this ne with my friend. How could it be your mother''s?"
"When your mother passed away, you were still young. Are you remembering it wrong?"
After Shiloh spoke, she turned to her husband who stood nearby for help.
Conner was even more angry at Rose''s actions after seeing his wife''s pitiful expression.
He red at Rose and scolded her, "You disobedient girl! Give the ne back to your stepmother now!"
"It can''t be! This ne belonged to my mother."
Rose tightened her grip on the ne and locked resolutely at her so-called biological father.
Although she didn''t notice it at first, she recognized it when she approached Shiloh.
Her mother did have such a ne that she loved very much and kept in a precious box. She often took it out to touch and Rose had seen it
several times before.
Madeleine standing next to them smiled wryly when seeing how stubborn Rose was acting. "If you really need money, just tell us and we''ll give you
some.”
"I can''t give this ne away because of its special meaning for my mom.."
"Yes," agreed Shiloh nodding along with Madeleine''s words. "Rose, if there is anything else that you want from me, then I will dly give it but not this
one."
Rose stared coldly at the two women without saying a word while Conner became even more upset by what he saw happening in front of him.
In his eyes, his wife and second daughter were already so sensible but Rose remained stubborn like this!
He tried hard to control his anger as he spoke sternly. "Rose, give the ne back now or don''t evere back here again.”
Rose snee edand held onto the
ne tightly without any
intention of\giving up on it easily,
causing gn-awkward silence N
between everyone present there;
until Blot finally spoke up after
being silent all along. "This type of
custom-made luxury jewelry usually
has initials engraved on them.”
His cold voice made everyone present lock around in confusion.
Rose immediately picked up the ne and began searching for any engraved letters on it. Soon, she saw the initials of her mother''s name behind
the emerald at the front of the ne!
Rose shook the letters before their eyes, sneeringly saying, "Now, do you still want to im that this is your ne?"
Madeleine and Shiloh''s faces turned red. They couldn''t say a word.
After a moment of silence, Shiloh awkwardlyughed and interrupted the tense atmosphere. "Well... I remembered wrong and thought it was mine.”
"That''s right! I remember Mom had a simr ne. Did you wear it wrong?" Madeleine immediately spoke up to prove her mother''s innocence
Shiloh didn''t hesitate either and said directly, "Yes! Yes! It was mine that I wore wrong."
Rose sneered coldly; she didn''t want to watch this farce anymore. She turned around and left straight away from their backyard.
She didn''t even want to stay there for another moment.
As soon as Rose left, Elliot followed behind her and Madeleine stopped him in his tracks
Thinking about how Elliot had been nice to her in front of Rose earlier on, Madeleine wanted him to stay so they could develop their rtionship
further.
She looked up at him with affectionate eyes, "Elliot... can you please stay with me?"
Elliot lifted his gaze slightly towards her before lightly opening his lips, "Move aside.”
"Elliot..."
Madeleine grabbed onto his hand like a spoiled child while gently swaying it, hoping he would soften his heart to stay with her, but instead, he pushed
past her without hesitation. "I have something else going on; I need to leave now."Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
After speaking those words coldly, he left the Russell''s backyard without looking back again
Earlier when he softened towards Madeleine, it was only because he wanted Rose''s attention, but now that she had gone, there wasn''t any reason
for him to continue pretending anymore.
On the other side, Rose left the
Russell Residence and got into the
car. She took out the ne she ._
had beer holding tightly in her hand
and stared at it nkly. This was her
mother''s keepsake, and she had it
NOW. However, she wouldntthank
EMiot for it; that man didn''tdeserve
her gratitude.
As Rose thought about this, she
suddenly felt chill and shivered
slightly. Shehade to the Russell
Residenge oday, and she believed-
that Elliot wouldn''t trouble Valentin
anyrofe. When she found the. Tight
opportunity, she would make Elliot
seriously consider the idegrof
divorce. Content belongs 1 to
