With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 18

On the way home, Rose's mobile phone kept vibrating.

Rose leaned against the back seat of the car and closed her eyes for rest. In the closed space, the vibration of her cell phone was very clear.

The driver curiously glanced at the rear-view mirror, and just happened to look at Rose who had just opened her eyes. They looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds. The driver had been with Burke for years, and now he had just been here with Rose for a few days. He was somewhat sophisticated. He knew that there were many secrets in such rich families, so it was improper to look at and hear others rudely.

The driver was silently reading the few industry rules, silently picking up the earphones and putting headphones into his ears.

The driver was a smart one.

Rose found that after her being with Burke for a long time, some of her movements and expressions were similar to his.

For example, she had always been kind and friendly to people. It was impossible for her to frighten people with such a look.

Seeing the phone number flashing on the screen, Rose took it out of her bag and answered the call. Then she pressed the record button quickly.

"Hello."

"Rose, so you finally answer the phone?" Amanda's furious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What is it?"

"Rose, I'm begging you. Please let them release my mother. Please! I'll leave Burke. I'm leaving Burke right now. Can you ask them to let my mother go? She is too old to suffer from such torment! "

"What do you mean by saying that?"

Amanda's voice was not as energetic as usual, but now it sounded like she had a nervous breakdown.

"Rose, I beg you. I'm so sorry for what I did to you before. It's my fault. I shouldn't have attended that family feast. I'm so sorry that you lost your baby. I'm a shameless woman. But if I did anything wrong, just come at me, okay? Don't hurt my mother! Rose, I... "

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, followed by the noisy footsteps and cries, and a man's rough voice, "Amanda! Why are you begging her so humbly? We won't ask for her help since she is such a vicious woman! "

"Amanda? Amanda? " Rose frowned.

The next second, the man on the other end of the phone seemed to have grasped her phone, and her voice became clear in an instant.

"Mrs. Gu, I'm warning you. Bullying Amanda is the same as bullying me, Rocky Chen! You'd better let Amanda's mother go right now. Otherwise, I will definitely get even with you!"

The phone was hung up. Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the line, Rose frowned deeper.

The screen of the mobile phone was gradually dimmed, but it suddenly lit up again when a message was sent to her.

"Now come to the second floor of the mechanical warehouse behind No. 285 of the reservoir. And take Amanda's mother with you! Is your father still in prison? I happen to know some friends in the prison. It is all up to you whether your father's life in prison is good or not. You should know what to do. If you don't show up before 3 pm, I will do something that you will regret for. "

The message was from Amanda.

Thinking of her father still in prison and the pieces of gray news about the prison, Rose face turned pale. She opened her phone quickly and dialed the number of Burke.

"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off. Please redial it later."

The cold, mechanical female voice repeated again and again, and Rose kept calling his number until her cell phone went out of battery.

Rose quickly turned to her handbag and found the power bank. Her hand trembled and she tried so many times to get the phone charged, but failed.

She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Finally, Rose got it charged and tried to clean up her mind.

The LED screen in the car showed that it was one o'clock in the afternoon.
