Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress novel Chapter 28

*********

Rose had no idea how she got in the car later. Her head was a mess still, and she was staring into space till a violent shake threw her back to reality. She frowned and turned to look at Sophia only to see an unforgiven face and you slut-how-dare-you-steal-my-guy expression on her face.

"Rose, is it true about what happened back there? When did you start dating Alexander king? How come you've never mentioned it?" Sophia was so frustrated that Alex didn't even take a single look at her.

Her pride was not allowed to be defeated, and Sophia swore that she would have it back, what she believed to be hers.

Seeing the scowl on Sophia's face, Rose felt much better. Literally, she knew was basically being a callous and black hearted Schadenfreude, but she couldn't help it. There was nothing more satisfying than finding Pleasure-in-others'-misfortune. And today Rose was pleased to see her step-mother and sister suffer. Beatrice had decided to ride in the same car with both Sophia and Rose despite the fact that she had brought her own car before.

"Why should I tell you about my relationship? But, if you want to know the answer to that, you would have to ask Alexander king." Rose gave an intentionally vague answer. Meanwhile, she knew there was no point in making an explanation as they would not believe her anyway. After what had happened, how could she convince them that they had never met before?

Sophia bit her lips and thought Nathalia was showing off and remarked bitterly, "Huh, sister, Alexander king is just playing games with you and using you. Don't be serious, or you will be crying soon when you realize that he has only used you." Sophia said try to make it look like she was looking out for Rose. However, her bitter tone betrayed her jealousy.

It wasn't difficult for Rose to tell what Sophia was thinking, and she sneered secretly as she played with her hair.

In a casual and innocent manner, she replied, "Don't worry, my dear Sophia. I can play along. Don't you find Alexander king very good-looking? He is just the perfect definition of a good "husband material" man, but not bad as a boyfriend. Also, there's nothing to lose anyway."

The less Rose seemed to care, the angrier Sophia got. She felt a heavyweight on her chest. ‘I wish I could just wipe that smug look off your face.’ Sophia thought.

Beatrice had been observing Roseline ever since they got into the car. Rose was aware of the burning stare from Beatrice, but chose to ignore it and let her be. After all, she can't die from her stare.

‘Is this brat really in a relationship with Alexander king? How can a small brat like have such a connection, all the way to Alexander king? It can't be possible! Did she know him before coming back to the country?’ Beatrice was raging with different kinds of questions in her head.

After a while, Beatrice couldn't hold her silence and finally asked tentatively, "Rose, did you really know Mr. King or did you guys plan what happened back there?"
