Anne sighed in exasperation and pushed Rose aside. Unfortunately, Rose was thin and gaunt that she
fell to the ground easily. She looked up at Anne pathetically while she was slumped on the ground.
Through gritted teeth Anne squeezed her words from her teeth. "Rose, don't you dare pull such a trick
on me. Let me tell you this, I'll never forgive what you did to me. Don't ever think that I will acknowledge
you as my younger sister just because you said a few good things. Always remember that we are just
strangers sharing the same blood!"
Rose stared at her in disbelief. The tears full of grievances that were only welling up in her eyes finally
fell down on her cheeks.
While biting her lower lip, she slowly got up from the ground slowly. To Anne's surprise, Rose bent her
knees and knelt down in front of her. "Anne, I've thought things through in the past few days. I realized
all my fault. I've corrected my mistakes, and I'm trying to be a better person than I was before. Please
forgive me. I'll do everything for you!"
Anne looked at her with a frown. Suddenly, Kim's face flashed through her eyes. Her eyes widened,
and her expression turned cold. "Did Kim threaten you?" she asked calmly.
When Rose heard this, her body trembled subconsciously. That man had left a shadow and fear in her
heart. Although he was nowhere in sight, just hearing his name frightened her.
"No. Kim didn't threaten me. I'm doing this on my own volition. It's just that I've thought it over and
realized my mistakes. Believe me, Anne!" answered Rose while shaking her head.
As Anne noticed that Rose was being slightly affectionate, she sneered and crossed her arms over her
chest while staring at her coldly.
Rose's sudden change was alarming. Although she looked remorseful, Anne still believed that this
woman was up to something.
She had no idea what Rose wanted to do, but she knew that her intentions would be exposed
eventually.
"Do you want to stay with me?" asked Anne suddenly.
With an expectant look on her face, Rose nodded enthusiastically and answered, "Yes! I will do
anything as long as I can be with you!"
Anne sneered in response. "If that's the case, you can stay here. Don't worry, I'll talk to Kevin and his
mother later."
Still nodding, Rose looked at her gratefully. Then, Anne turned around and went downstairs, followed
by Rose.
She looked at Anne with admiration. As long as she could be with her sister, she was willing to do
anything.
Both Kevin and Selma disagreed with Anne on the decision of letting Rose stay.
In the Fu Family's residence, there were many servants around that it was impossible for Rose to hurt
the children. Nevertheless, Kevin was still uneasy due to her sudden change. Why would he let such a
dangerous person be around him and his children?
Selma hated Rose as well. She feared that her two grandchildren would be at risk if Rose stayed in the
house.
"Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. Just let me be with my sister and I won't detest you anymore."
Rose looked at them expectantly with wide eyes.
Detest?
Kevin frowned when he heard this. How could he become a nuisance to Rose now? He was in utter
shock.
This was unbelievable!
"Mom, let her stay." Kevin suddenly turned around and spoke to Selma.
As a response, Selma just frowned and snorted in disdain. Then, she turned around and left.
Since Kevin and Anne both agreed to let Rose stay, there was nothing else she could do. However, she
swore to herself that she would keep an eye on her in case she did something contemptuous, like hurt
her grandchildren.
With a beaming smile, Rose then looked at her sister, as if her world only belonged to Anne.
Her meaningful smile made Kevin and Anne exchange glances. To be honest, they were confused.
They both knew how much Rose had loathed Anne before. The way Rose looked at her made Anne
doubt her sister's motive more.
However, they wanted to see how long Rose's pretension would last.
As for Rose, she felt fortunate as long as she could stay here with her sister.
On the other side, Ryan went straight to Kim after he got the money.
It would actually be best for him to just disappear with the money. To his own surprise, he went to H
City and contacted Kim for no reason at all.
While sitting on the sofa, Kim sarcastically glanced at Ryan. The latter just sat beside him with a frown
and inexplicable expression.
"What now? Now that your wish has been fulfilled, do you want to admit your crime and become a new
person?" Kim was being sarcastic at this moment.
His remark made Ryan frown. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a child. His frown was
then replaced with a smile, and he waved his hand at the kid. It was Simon.
The child raised his head and looked at Kim for permission. Kim nodded slightly, so Simon came over
to them timidly.
With a smile, Ryan stretched out his hand and rubbed Simon's head, and said, "This boy looks
adorable. His eyes and brows look the same as Anne's."
Although it was usual for a girl to look like her father, and a boy to his mother, it was still surprising that
Simon looked like Anne a lot.
However, the smile on Ryan's face gradually dissipated at the mention of her name.
Since he had already gotten the money, he had nothing to do with Anne anymore. What was more, she
would never acknowledge their friendship again.
Truth be told, there was never a friendship between them anyway. He just used her.
"Uncle Ryan, how is my mother now?" asked Simon as he raised his head.
With a frown, Ryan nodded at him and answered, "Don't worry. Your mother and sister are both fine."
Simon nodded and wanted to ask further questions, but he did not dare to do so. Since Ryan was
talking with Kim here, he must not be a good person.
Of course, neither Ryan nor Kim knew Simon's the thoughts in his mind.
Kim waved at Simon, and the latter immediately stood up and ran into his arms. This made Kim smile
as he looked at the boy with affection.
This little boy was smart. He knew what to do and when to act. Not only that, he knew what was best
for himself.
"Ryan, I'm disappointed with the photos. You shouldn't have posted them without my permission."
Changing the topic, Kim frowned and looked at Ryan in dissatisfaction.
As a response, Ryan sighed with a heavy heart. That time, he had no choice but to release the photos.
"Now that I've received the money from Anne, I will explain to the public everything and clear her
name," said Ryan while looking at Kim.
After Kim heard that, a frown appeared on his face. He was silent for a moment, then he decided to
leave with Simon in his arms. If Ryan wanted to do this, Kim had no intention of stopping him.
Besides, he had already let Rose go. As time went by, Kim could imagine how lovely she had become.
Just when he thought of it, his lips turned into a sinister smile without him noticing. 'Anne, are you
satisfied with this gift?' he thought to himself.
Rose was nothing but a dispensable pawn from the start!
Ryan kept his word. The next day, he went back to A City and clarified everything in front of dozens of
entertainment reports. He admitted that the photos were not falsified. Instead, he stated that the
woman in the photos was not Anne, but her sister, Rose.
How could he prove this? Well, he mentioned that Anne had a scar on her forehead, and Rose had
none.
The media had already known this. However, they were still curious about Ryan's answer and intention.
After the news had been released, the media helped Anne clarify the truth. As for Rose, she was faced
with criticism and scrutiny.
However, it did not matter to her. She remained unfazed even though other people were judging her. It
was only the Luo Family that felt troubled.
That was because they had not found her yet. None of them knew that she was currently staying in the
Fu Family's residence.
At first, Anne and Kevin thought that if Rose stayed in their house, she would eventually show her true
colors sooner or later. However, what was happening was the exact opposite.
It seemed that Rose indeed realized the mistakes she had made in past. It looked like she was
genuinely trying her best to make up for Anne and her sister's children.
As a matter of fact, every time Rose saw Anne, her eyes would light up as if the only person in her
world was her sister. She also treated Eddy and Sally well, and made sure that she was the best aunt
they could ever have.
Of course, they still remained vigilant. They must not let their guard down just because of her kindness.
Meanwhile, Selma was still guarding the children, afraid that they would be hurt because of Rose.
"Is this really my sister?" Because of Rose's unwavering goodwill, Anne began to doubt her sister's
identity. Ridiculous as it might seem, she wondered if she had another sister whom she had not known
before. Could it be that this person happened to look exactly like her, and that they only mistook her as
Rose?
What kind of person was Rose anyway? Both Anne and Kevin was aware that no matter what, Rose
could not behave like this without a reason.
What Rose was doing right now could not be described as a change. After all, the word "change" was
not enough to describe it.
With a smirk at the corners of his mouth, Kevin slowly took a sip of his red wine. While indulged in the
strong fragrance of his drink, he nodded to Anne and said, "Maybe you were right. You must have
another sister whom you don't know about."
Anne shook her head with a chuckle. Although it was only a joke, it was obvious that Rose had
changed a lot.
What should Anne say now?
In the past, Rose was obsessed with Kevin that she did everything to take him, but to no avail.
Surprisingly, her eyes were now full of disgust whenever she saw him.
Furthermore, she had hated Anne so much. But now, she wished that she could pounce on her sister
and that they would never be separated again.
It was more likely that Rose was being like this because she was now a changed person.
Such a change was indeed surprising.
"I have a hunch that Rose's change has something to do with Kim," said Anne with a frown.
Kevin thought the same thing, but it made him more confused. "Kim is cunning and despicable. It's true
though that he can surprise others when nobody expected. But now that Rose is here with us, I can
attest that there is no one that can monitor her. There must be something else that makes her behave
this way."
Perhaps what Rose was doing right now was not a disguise. Her kindness might have actually come
from the bottom of her heart.
Anne shook her head as a response. She, too, was confused. This was a mystery that was yet to
unfold.
All of a sudden, the door swung open. Anne and Kevin looked up at it to see who it was. It was Selma,
whose mouth was in a deep frown. She staggered toward them in high heels, and there was a look of
confusion on her face. She then shook her head slightly, and no words seemed to come out of her
mouth.
Selma sat down on the couch. Then, Anne considerately poured a glass of red wine for her. Selma took
a sip of it and then impatiently put it aside. "What's going on with this Rose?" she asked with a frown.
In the past, Rose hated Anne, and she hated Eddy and Sally more. But now, it seemed that she loved
the children as if they were her own.
Selma racked her brain to figure out what was happening, but failed. She thought of countless
assumptions and explanations, yet she still could not find a suitable answer for Rose's behavior.
This was so weird! The current situation seemed unreal. It seemed that Rose had really changed for
the better.
In this world of science, they did not believe in legends nor in ghosts. If so, what happened to her?
The three looked at each other and sighed. What on earth really happened to Rose? They had no clue.
Although it was only vague, they all had a bad feeling about it.
It seemed that danger was quietly creeping towards them from a place they had no knowledge
about.
