Chapter 349 It's Her The screen was frozen, and the cabin was filled with eerie silence. The footage simply played over and over again on a loop. Oliver was visibly agitated as he pointed at the screen. His distress at Kelly kicking his wheelchair was audible from the video.
Rose suddenly snapped out of her shock. "Grandpa... Grandpa, it's okay. It's all in the past." Rose wanted to hold Oliver's hand and provide him with a sense of security, but her hands were tied. She tried to break free several times but couldn't do so.
Fortunately, Oliver calmed down after hearing her words. Oliver looked at Rose. It was clear that he was shaken by the video.
"Grandpa, it's okay. Everything's in the past. Kelly probably didn't mean any harm." Although Rose knew that Kelly was up to no good and suspected that Kelly was planning something even bigger, Kelly was still Oliver's biological granddaughter. Oliver definitely wouldn't expect his granddaughter to do something so ruthless.
So, she decided to paint Kelly in a better light, even though she didn't want to. It was all for Oliver's sake. He stared at Rose silently.
Suddenly, he realized that his wheelchair was pressing against Rose and started to panic. "Rose... are you ... alright? Why didn't you dodge it? You dummy ..." Oliver used all his strength to move the wheelchair away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'm fine." If she had moved away, the wheelchair would've flipped over and Oliver would've fallen. How could she let that happen? Rose forced a smile. Even the slightest movement made the spot where she was hit ache. But she couldn't afford to care about herself.
She continued reassuring Oliver. "Grandpa, don't worry." Rose struggled to free herself from the ropes that bound her hands and feet. She scanned her surroundings and saw a pair of scissors in the corner of the cabin. She inched forward.
When her hand touched the scissors, Rose breathed a sigh of relief. The most important thing right now was to free herself.
After much struggle, Rose managed to cut the ropes binding her. Upon doing so, she immediately stood up and walked over to Oliver's side. Oliver simply stared at her in a daze. There seemed to be a lot going through his mind. However, Rose wasn't able to read his thoughts. "Grandpa?" His expression seemed puzzled to Rose, but she didn't feel any animosity from him. Rose tried calling out to him again. After a moment, Oliver finally snapped out of his daze and grabbed her hand. He gave her a nod and his eyes seemed to tear up. Thinking he was still frightened, Rose quickly picked up the remote control that had been discarded by Nixon nearby and turned off the video. Once she felt the fear in his eyes diminish, Rose tentatively said, "Grandpa, wait forhere. I'll go outside and have a look." Outside, the seawater was splashing against the cabin. As they were currently inside the cabin, they were unaware of the situation outside.
However, Oliver kept holding her hand. Rose patted his hand to comfort him, and it gradually loosened. As Rose walked out of the cabin, Oliver's gaze followed her.
His voice wavered as he softly called out, "Rose ..." However, his voice was drowned out by the sounds of the sea.
Rose walked out of the cabin into the pitch-black night, where the strong wind stung her face. Surrounded by nothing but darkness, a feeling of dread enveloped her. As her eyes adjusted to the surroundings, Rose saw the vast expanse of the sea in front of her.
"What's wrong? Scared?" A voice cfrom behind her.
Rose immediately turned around. Seeing Nixon's sinister face in the dark shadows, her heart trembled. But was she really afraid? "What is there to be afraid of? Is there any use in being afraid here?" Rose's voice was all but drowned out by the cold wind.
Nixon disliked her fearless attitude. But because of the plan he had devised, Nixon was in no hurry. He wanted to watch Rose descend into despair slowly.
Yet, at this moment, Rose suddenly spoke, "How about we play a game?" Rose hadn't forgotten Nixon's mention of a "game" earlier. She didn't know what he intended to do, but she knew that she was the one he was after.
The old woman was just an extra person he had taken along. As for Oliver, he was probably here to be used as leverage against her.
As if he had read her thoughts, Nixon spoke up before she could continue. Chuckling lightly, he said, "Letguess. You probably wantto release the two people in the cabin, right?" "Yes. What you want is revenge on me. One of them is a stranger to me, and the other is just an old, wheelchair- bound man. So what if he's Mr. Young Senior from Regalia? I'm just his adopted granddaughter, and you know that.
"Kelly is his true granddaughter. She will inherit all the assets of the Young family. Even if I try my best, I won't get anything from him. So you keeping them here poses no threat to me." Rose spoke in a tone so indifferent that it made her seem cold-hearted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut Nixon didn't believe a word she said. He just kept staring at Rose. He found it extremely ironic.
He had to admit that Rose was a kind-hearted person. He knew he'd been blinded once and fooled by Kelly, believing the innocent facade she put on. Rose, however ...
Now, looking at Rose, he realized he had been wrong from the beginning. In terms of looks and character, Rose erx and Kelly were as different as night and day. Yet, he was foolish enough to have mistaken the devil for an angel.
Despite the eerie atmosphere, Nixon suddenly burst into laughter. The sound made Rose frown. Then, she vel caught the sarcasm in his tone as he said, "Did you think I brought Oliver here because of you?" Rose didn't know what to say. Was it not?
But before she could inquire, Nixon started laughing again. "It's not because of you. Someone askedto take bliver away. In this situation, ке if something happens to Oliver, who do you think will inherit the Young family's assets?" Rose didn't have the tto be shocked. Instead, her mind raced as she pondered Nixon's question.
Suddenly, Rose stepped forward and asked, "What do you mean 'if something happens'?" If something happened to Oliver, who would the Young family assets end up with? Countless faces started flashing across Rosa's mind. Miles ... Anastasia ... Gabriel's mother ... And ... Kelly In the end, it was Kelly's innocent and harmless face that lingered in her mind. Gradually, her pure and kind face transformed into that of a monster.
"It's Kelly!" Rose suddenly felt the strength leaving her body and took a step back. Only Kelly and Nixon would conspire together, so ...
"The person who orchestrated the accident, and the one who brought Grandpa here, is Kelly, isn't it? What does Kelly want? What are you all up to?" Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming these rich women will persue you.
