Chapter 1700
Rose stood behind Silas, her heart initially unsettled. Her lips were pressed thinly together.However, she nearly broke into a smile after hearing Silas' remark.
Silas possessed a formidable ability to dismantle a convict in court and ruthlessly exploit someone's vulnerabilities with hiswords.
“Nonsense! I've never had my face done!" Lydia retorted, hastily covering her stiffened face, a mix of shame, anger, and guiltconsuming her.novelbin
Silas shook his head. "It's not your fault for aging, but it's not right to run around scaring people off with that face either."Lydia seethed with outrage, feeling her blood boil at his audacity."Who are you to Rose?" Jamie interjected, clinging to her mother and demanding an answer.
“Who am | to Rose?" Silas mused, touching the inside of his cheek with his tongue before turning to Rose with a seriousexpression. "Ms. Emerson, she wants to know my role in your life."
Rose met his gaze, her heart pounding in her chest.
"If you don't say anything, then I'll take the liberty of calling myself your boyfriend," Silas announced with a wide smile, a gentleglint in his eyes.
"What?" Lydia's and Jamie's jaws dropped.
How could this sophisticated man be Rose's boyfriend?
Rose's cheeks flushed instantly. She looked down shyly, afraid to look at him.
Silas' expression softened as he reached for her cold hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.
"| didn't intervene when you were bullying Rosie earlier because | wanted to witness the extent of your cruelty andshamelessness. | wanted to see just how low you could stoop," Silas remarked coolly, his demeanor exuding a chilling presence.
“And you didn't disappoint me. It's truly eye-opening to see both of you devils in action," he added, his eyes narrowing slightly.Rosie?
Rose blinked away the moisture from her eyes, feeling a warmth spreading in her chest.
Lydia gritted her teeth. "This concerns only the Emersons. | don't think this has anything to do with you."
“Rosie is mine, so that makes her problems mine as well.." Silas rubbed his cheeks, his gaze sharp enough to deter anyone frommeeting it directly.
"Sir, my mother has never spoken an untruth about her."
Jamie erupted, hurling accusations at Rose once more. "She's the illegitimate offspring of the Emersons. Her mother seducedmy father and bore her out of wedlock. Unable to secure her position, she birthed this wretch behind my father's back.
"Then, in desperation, her mother brought her to us for protection. We embraced her as family, but Rose, despite our kindness,turned her back on us after gaining some fame for herself. She wouldn't even deign to design a gown for me!
"She wouldn't even be here if not for us Emersons. If my father hadn't taken them in, Rose and her mother would have perishedon the streets.”
Rose's eyes blazed crimson, her breaths labored while Silas sneered with contempt."What does any of this have to do with my Rosie?"Jamie was stunned.
"She didn't choose to come into thisworld. She couldn't choose her mnparents or upbriaging Ghee But |beliéve she could choose, she'dwant nothing to do with theEmersons." The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
