Chapter 1088 Dislike (3)
Elliot was left standing in place until the woman’s figure disappeared at the end of the hallway. He slowly came back to his senses, his narrow eyes darkening and his hand tightening slightly at his side. There was a hint of frustration on his face as he realized that his words had once again strained the relationship between him and Rose.
He had come to apologize to the young girl, but he couldn’t help being angry with Rose for repeatedly getting mad at him because of her existence. Ultimately, he still cared about that little girl not being his biological daughter.
The man’s lips were tightly pursed, and even if he didn’t want to admit it, he understood now that he was jealous and angry that Rose cared so much about another man’s child!
…
After returning to her room, Rose closed the door behind her in anger towards Elliot’s unreasonable behavior and tantrums. But she couldn’t find a way out of their current situation.
Time passed by unnoticed until sunset approached. As Rose looked at the distant sunset glow, she took a deep breath and silently cursed Elliot for being an unfaithful man while making a major decision.
She wanted to sue Elliot with a lawyer!
She couldn’t continue this stalemate with Elliot anymore; it would only lead them into chaos! Since Elliot wasn’t willing to resolve their issues peacefully, then she would take legal action by filing for divorce proceedings against him so that he no longer had any right or power over her!
Just as Rose made up her mind, readying herself to stand up from where she sat on bed when suddenly there came knocking from outside her room door.
“Knock knock.”
Rose furrowed her brow slightly, looking displeased towards the direction of the door. The next moment, a gentle voice from outside the door sounded, “Mrs. Harper, can I come in?”
“What do you want?”
The servant heard Rose’s inquiry before pushing open the door without waiting for permission while holding up an expensive dress, “Mrs. Harper, this is your dress.”
Rose saw through its value immediately upon seeing it held by the servant which caused her eyebrows to furrow tightly.
“What does this mean?”
“Mr. Harper asked me bring this dress over here so you can change into it tonight since you will be accompanying him later tonight attending a charity dinner party.”
The servant lowered her head and spoke respectfully, “Mrs. Harper, Mr. Harper wants you to attend the event as his wife.”
Rose’s face darkened upon hearing this and her tone became colder as she responded, “Take it away. I’m not going to attend.”
The servant panicked and looked at the woman standing in front of her with uncertainty. “But Mr. Harper said he wants you to attend officially as Mrs. Harper.”
The servant knew that Mr. Harper wanted to give Rose a proper title because many people in the city wanted to hook up with Elliot and climb up the social ladder.
After hearing the explanation from the servant, Rose’s cold smile deepened involuntarily.
Elliot wants to give her a title? She doesn’t care about being called Mrs. Harper now; all she wants is a divorce!
Her expression turned sour as she glared at the servant standing before her and ordered, “Get out!”
The servant hesitated but felt trapped between fulfilling her duty for the Harper family – where everything was still controlled by Mr. Harper – or risking being fired if she didn’t complete this task.
She couldn’t afford to be fired.
With that thought in mind, holding onto the dress tightly with one hand, she took another step forward towards Rose and spoke firmly, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Harper, but since you don’t want to change into this dress yourself, then I’ll have no choice but force it on you.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
