Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1960

Chapter 1960

When dusk came, Rosalie began to regret her decision.

Should I free the b*astard? Rosalie ruminated over the thought as she tried to come up with good reasons to do so.

Nevertheless, Rosalie had a hard time lowering her pride. At that same moment, Lacey had sent out someone after her to bring her to Lace Boudoir so they could settle the issue of Rosalie being hit in the head by Melinda and Shannon on campus.

Thus, Rosalie left Rose Garden.

That night, Rosalie did not return to Rose Garden. However, something happened late in the evening. All of a sudden, it was as though Tilan Palace had been shaken by a storm. Every bodyguard charged into Rose Garden by full force.

Even Hugo was amidst the crowd!

“Mrs. Tilan, something’s wrong. I just saw a lot of people heading for Rose Garden, including Mr. Tilan himself.”

“What?”

Lacey bolted up from her seat in shock.

Everyone else in Lace Boudoir had a shift in their expressions, especially Rosalie. She shot up from her seat and jerked her head around to look behind her as the color drained from her face.

If Father is personally involved, this is definitely not a good sign.

Without hesitation, Rosalie darted back to Rose Garden.

Upon arriving in the brightly lit courtyard, Rosalie was immediately greeted by the sight of men dressed in black suits. As expected, all of them were carrying weapons with murderous expressions written on their faces.

Rosalie paled even more at the sight.

“What… what are you guys doing here? D-Did something happen?”

Rosalie had never felt so shaken in her entire life.

Grabbing one of the bodyguards standing in front of her, Rosalie asked for clarification in a quivering voice.

The bodyguard turned around. At the sight of Rosalie, he hesitated before explaining, “Ms. Rosalie, you’re in grave trouble. Something has been stolen from the safe in your late mother’s room.”

“Huh?”

Rosalie’s knee went weak at the news. It was as though she had been struck by lightning!

The safe?

How could this be? The safe has always been inside Mother’s room. No one has even touched it ever since she passed. And now all of a sudden, they’re saying that something’s stolen? How could this be?

Shell-shocked, Rosalie felt her head buzzing as she struggled to think.

Just then, Hugo emerged from within the crowd. He was holding an empty box with a look of pure rage on his face. Upon seeing Rosalie, Hugo raised his leg and kicked her heavily on her chest.

“Ahh!”

At the impact, Rosalie fell to the ground. Instantly, blood began gushing out of her mouth.

“You fool! Look at what you’ve done! You’ve led our enemies straight into our home! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” With bloodshot eyes, Hugo snatched the gun from the bodyguard next to him and aimed it at Rosalie.

Thud!
