Millard bit on Rosella’s neck, leaving her in pain.
The sound of the door being knocked soon stopped. It seemed the door was opened, and someone soon approached.
Being held in the water, Rosella felt drowning and struggled for help. The second Toby came in, he was stunned by the sight. As he was about to leave, he noticed something off.
“Ms. Krueger? Is that you?”
Seeing her hand wave a few times, he rushed over and pulled her
away.
She was all wet, with water dripping from her clothes and hair non- stop. In such a sorry state, she clutched her collar. Shocked, Toby quickly took off his suit jacket and handed it to her..
He turned around and faced her with his back, stuttering, “Ms. Krueger, are … you OK?”
“Yeah. Just… check on him.”
Putting on his coat jacket, she ran outside at once.
Still wet, she ran back to her room hastily under the gaze of Lorena.
Everyone acted normal as if nothing had ever happened. Rosella didn’t tell anyone, and Millard left Blossom Club that very night.
A few days ago, Luigi was ordered temporarily for a business trip out of town. But it was just an excuse; Lamont had sent him to look into

what had happened to Rosella during these three years.
Without Luigi, Rosella was vulnerable to the verbal attack of the others. Since she was so meek, even the maids at home gave her a hard time.
Mollie scolded them a few times.
But Rosella always said timidly, “It’s fine… I’m OK with my life. It’s good enough.”
She didn’t dare to ask for more.
Those people weren’t wrong; now that she wasn’t part of the Rowe family, she didn’t deserve to be treated as Ms. Rowe.
Mollie always shed tears when she heard Rosella say so.
Rosella wanted to comfort Mollie but didn’t know where to start.
“Mollie, I’m fine…”
Mollie forced a smile. Before she could say anything, Dewey stormed inside, strode toward Rosella, grabbed her by the collar, and cursed furiously, “You cheap bitch!”
Then he threw her to the floor, hurting her already injured knees again.
She couldn’t get up, crawling on the floor, looking aggrieved.
“What’s that for, Dewey?” Mollie quickly crouched down to protect Rosella and helped her up. “Are you OK? Did you hurt anywhere?”
Pulling a long face, Dewey said in a deep voice, his eyes burning with fury, “I thought you’d change. Your acting skills are superb–even I fell for them.”
“Dewey, what are you talking about?”

Both Mollie and Rosella were confused.
Dewey fumed, “Ask her!”
Rosella lowered her head, baffled. “I didn’t do anything…”
“You drugged Millard to sleep with him. Don’t you dare deny it!” Dewey said quickly, and his words shocked Mollie, who widened her eyes. The maids who were nearby overheard and walked away with disdain, all accusing Rosella as a bitch with their eyes.
Rosella didn’t get it. She saved Millard; why did Dewey say so?
Mollie tugged at her. “Rosa, it wasn’t you, was it?”
“No, it wasn’t.” Pursing her lips, Rosella tried hard not to let her tears fall. This was the first time she defended herself after so many days. “Dewey, I didn’t…”
“How dare you deny it!” Even the veins on Dewey’s forehead throbbed. “Millard said so himself, and Lorena saw you. You didn’t change at all, and you dare to deny it. Get out! You’re not welcome here, you liar!”
Though Mollie was present, he couldn’t hold back anymore. “Or I swear I’ll find a chance to kill you to avenge Angeline!”
Rosella went to Millard’s place.
She packed back and forth outside anxiously and only came in half an hour later. It was dim and quiet here, with countless marigolds planted in the garden.
It used to be roses before the marigolds, but Angeline said she loved marigolds the most.
Therefore, all the roses were replaced by marigolds.

When Rosella went up, Millard had just changed into a deep gray
shirt, which matched his temperament perfectly. He stood next to the window with his back facing her, the light from outside made his shoulders even broader and his legs even more slender.
“Why are you here?” Without the drug, he wasn’t mad anymore and was like a different person. He picked up a cigarette from the table. “Where’s Luigi? Why isn’t he with you?”
“I’m here to ask you something.” Rosella took a deep breath to steady her heartbeat. “Why did you tell people it was me who drugged you?”
