At the rke residence, Rosa stepped out through the front door with her suitcase, lost in despair. The designer clothes she wore failed to give her any semnce of dignity. Seeingn''s car parked not far away made her eyes well up with tears.

    Rosa managed a bitter smile. "Two million dors. Pretty generous, isn''t he?"


    After a moment, Rosa finally stopped crying. "It''s funny. You were the reason I joined the rke family, and now, it''s also you who''s driving me off. Just the thought of having no ties to you for the rest of my life makes me feel so sad."

    After estimating that she had made


    it to her room, he prepared to leave. Suddenly, a loud bang erupted nearby, and blood pooled on the ground in front of the hotel


    Everything around him erupted into chaos. Hotel security scrambled to call for an ambnce and the police, butn couldn''t bring himself to step out of the car or move an inch


    closer.
