Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress novel Chapter 30

The incident earlier in the day at the jewelry shop had awakened Sophia's competitive nature. “Yes, dress me up very well, mother. I'm the swan. The most beautiful and elegant of all. It's impossible that I will ever be beaten by that ugly duckling. Alexander must have been somehow oblivious to my beauty. That must be the reason why Roseline got the attention today. Yes. That's why! I knew it.” Sophia remarked, dazed in her own thoughts.

Unlike Sophia who was being delusional, Beatrice was thinking practically. "That is a good thought, my child. But we, the Grays……" Beatrice tried to voice out her concern and thought regarding what her daughter had said.

However, Sophia was not ready to listen to any reasons or excuses. She was a spoiled one, and she had to get what she wanted, as always. "I don't care. I know I'm the only one that deserves Alexander. Mom, please, I have to marry him. If Roseline can get close to him then I must as well. Besides, it will be great for Gray when I'm Mrs. King! We can't avoid letting Roseline get close to Alexander king and claim that title.”

Indeed. It would be tremendous for the Gray family, but one had to be realistic. Alexander king isn't an easy person the Gray family can afford to mess with. And it was surprising her how Rose was able to know Alex.

Already understanding that her daughter would never take no for an answer, Beatrice had no choice but to promise that she would try her best, besides Sophia had a point, she can't let Rose have the title so she better work hard for her daughter to seal that position.

Sophia took it as a definite yes and was so pleased that she showered her mother with thankful kisses.

Then she suddenly remembered something and frowned, "Mom, are you sure Rose should go to the party? Even though I hate to say this, she looked so beautiful today and I'm sure that was how she stole Alexander stole it from me today. We have to prevent her from looking stunning than me tonight.”

Beatrice sneered self-assuredly. “It's true, but there is nothing I can do about her face. But I have a way to make her look less beautiful. No worries. I have a plan. She will serve as an ugly contrast to you, and you will be in the spotlight at the party."

‘We've had enough from her today. She will know herself better tonight. Even though Alexander king had her back, she would still be nobody if she was not one of the Grays'.’

Sophia gave Beatrice a grin for what she said. "My mom is the best!"

In another part of Los Angeles, a tall black building stood its ground.

At this moment inside the meeting room, every worker was sweating beads. Despite the fact that the air conditioning was on which was supposed to make the temperature a negative degree but they were still sweating.

In the center seat was a handsome man, if looks could kill then this man’s looks would definitely have committed countless crimes.

His cold eyes scanned every person sitting at the meeting table.

Not one person dared to look up to meet the man’s eyes.

The man who caused the employees to tremble in their seat was none other than Alexander King.
