Chapter 21 The Mastiffs
The next moment, the mastiffs intended to lunge forward and knock Rosalind to the ground.[]
Evangeline was too scared to watch, and she instinctively closed her eyes.]]
However, she didn’t hear the expected scream.]
Instead, there was a sound of gasp from Constance.]
Evangeline frowned and opened her eyes in confusion.
The mastiffs, which should have been tearing at Rosalind, were now lying obediently by her side.
Then they noticed the mastiffs got injured on their backs, as if stabbed by a knife.[]
They were still bleeding!
Rosalind Rosalind gently stroked the heads of the mastiffs and applied medicine to their wounds.]]
The four mastiffs became even more docile.
One of them even gratefully licked Rosalind’s hand.]
Evangeline was shocked!]]
She couldn’t believe it.
She rubbed her eyes again, hoping that everything was an illusion.]
But…
It was true!]
The blood drained from her face.
Her body even trembled.
Evangeline thought Rosalind was eerie.
Constance’s face also turned dark.
But Rosalind seemed to know what they were thinking and suddenly turned back to look at them.]
Neither of them had time to control their expressions.]
Rosalind suddenly smiled.
“You said something quite good just now.”
w.”
Constance and Evangeline exchanged glances, feeling that Rosalind’s words were strange.
Rosalind’s voice came again.
“Mastiffs only guard their real owner
Perhaps to prove her words, as she finished speaking, the four mastiffs stood up, barking at Evangeline and Constance
Evangeline was too scared and almost went limp.
Constance was calmner, but she was still intimidated by the sense of threat of the mastiffs, so she closed the door.
When the door closed, the barking stopped
Chapter 2: The Mastiffs
Rosalind really liked these clever dogs.
It was a pity she didn’t have time to keep pets; otherwise, she really wanted to buy them to raise herself.
Today I helped you, and you helped me. Let’s call it even. Go find your owner.“]]
The mastiffs wagged their tails.]]
It seemed they understood her words, and they turned and ran off in another direction.]]
Rosalind felt a bit reluctant to let them leave.]
Peregrine approached in his wheelchair.
“How did you know they were injured?”
Rosalind stopped his wheelchair and pushed him by herself.[]
“All animals have spirits. They knew I saved you and your father.“[]
Reregrine was a bit surprised. “So, they just came to ask for help?“[]
Rosalind asked, “Didn’t you know?“[]
Peregrinę, “…..“]]
He thought he would be driven mad by this woman sooner or later.[]

“However, even if the mastiffs know how to seek advantages and avoid danger, they still have to follow their owner’s orders. It was their owner who sent them
here.”
Hearing her words, Peregrine immediately realized something.[]
He slowly said, “Someone deliberately hurt them to make them lose control.“[]
Rosalind nodded.]
She said in a serious tone, “You’re really not welcome by the Shaw family for
Peregrine was speechless.
Although it was the truth, she didn’t need to say that out loud.
The two of them left the Shaw’s house and returned to the villa where Peregrine lived.
After Nora was fired, the villa seemed very empty.[]
Arnold hired a few new household workers.]
So, when they returned today, they saw many unfamiliar people.[]
The new housekeeper was a young lady called Leona Horton. She was efficient with rich experience.[]
Rosalind was very satisfied. She just handed over a few important tasks and then let Leona get to work.[]
She was quite tired today, but still insisted on giving Peregrine treatment before going to bed []
The next day, she woke up.
The breakfast Leona made looked very delicious, but before she could eat, she heard Arnold’s voice.
“Mr. Shaw, now the Shaw Group has officially announced that you’re in charge of the Design Department.
Rosalind silently picked up some bread

Arnold continued, “According to the current news, the Design Department is working on a very difficult order from a famous painter.”
Rosalind immediately felt curious.]]
She lost interest in the bread.]]
Arnold knew both of them were waiting for him to continue, so he quickly said, “There are only three days left.]
“All the drafts from the Design Department have been rejected by the painter.]]
“He said that if we can’t provide the drafts that make him satisfied within three days, he will cancel the cooperation with the Shaw Group.”
The Shaw Group usually wouldn’t care about canceling an order.[]
But Peregrine was in charge of the Design Department now.]
If the first project he did failed, Peregrine’s reputation would be completely ruined.[]
Arnold was a bit hesitant but still spoke up, “Actually, we’ve investigated this famous painter. Mrs. Shaw, he is your brother, Gideon Aster’s tutor.“[]
Rosalind was very annoyed and put down the bread in her hand.[]

He indeed thought that way.]
If possible, he even wanted to replace Rosalind to plead with Gideon.
Rosalind turned to look at Peregrine. “You also think so?“]
Peregrine didn’t have breakfast, and his face was gloomy.
It seemed he was getting angry.[
But for some reason, after hearing her words, the anger on his face su
He calmed down, picked up some bread, and took a few bites.]
“Arnold, go take your punishment.“]
Arnold still wanted to argue, “This is the best way.“[]
Peregrine’s tone was indisputable. “Your punishment will be doubled.”
Arnold didn’t dare to say anything more.]]
He couldn’t persuade Peregrine and could only go to take his punishment.[]
Rosalind’s anger was gone.]

She ate some oatmeal and suddenly said, “I’m also the deputy director of the IT Department, and I should go to work today, right?”
Peregrine glanced at her. “You know that the IT Department is next to the Design Department, right?“]
Rosalind choked on the oatmeal, coughing for a while.[]
How could she know about the details of the Shaw Group?
The atmosphere was too awkward, so she just wanted to say something to lighten the mood.
Peregrine curled up his lips and pushed the plate of croissants towards Rosalind []

At the Aster’s place.[]
Thalia was very surprised and said, “Gideon, is Frederick really willing to give me the Whispers of Grace‘?”
Gideon looked at her with a doting smile.
“My sister is the most beautiful princess. Of course, you deserve this ‘Whispers of Grace.”
Thalia lowered her head shyly.
“Whispers of Grace” was the last masterpiece of Frederick Elliott, the famous painter, depicting twelve classical beauties.[]
It was said that this was a painting he made for the most beautiful woman in the world. So many people wanted to buy this painting.[]
Thalia asked Gideon for it many times, and he finally brought the good news.
