There was dim bluish light in the staircase.
It looked like the sea water reflected on Rose softly.
For a moment, Judson didn’t recognize her.
She appeared so suddenly.
Rose suddenly disappeared from his world, and then she suddenly appeared again.
This unexpected image made Judson astonished. He stared at her. Rose wore so differently from before.
She wore a black long–sleeved pullover polo shirt.
Her slender legs look longer with her navy blue jeans and her white sports shoes.
Her makeup was simple but beautiful.
***
Judson almost forgot when he saw other colors on Rose before.
It seemed that from a certain moment, she started to wear white dresses all year round. She never changed her style.
And she would keep long straight hair down her back all the time.
But tonight, she gave up her style like a noble lady. She wore simple but pretty clothes. Her long hair was around her shoulders. She seemed to be a totally different person.
She did look different today.
Judson observed her and found that her skin was still delicate and fair. Her eyes were shining and her hair was soft. She was as stunned as before. He couldn’t describe her beauty with words.
Soon, Judson put on a long face. He snorted with a gloomy face. “Are you happy?”
He thought Rose disappeared because of her pride.
He didn’t expect that she didn’t change her personality which made him disgusted. She was still schemed and always sticking to him.
She disappeared on purpose and then followed him to this place.
If he hadn’t walked down the staircase, he wouldn’t know that she was hiding there.
She made a scene in the Roach’s house and stalked him.
Was Rose happy when she saw Tameka blame him because of her?
Did Rose think she could fool the Roach family because the Edwards family helped the Roach family before?
***
Rose recovered from the shock.
When Judson rushed in, she thought she started hallucinating.
Last night, in Imperial Garden, he called her to threaten her and warn her that she had to bear the consequences if she didn’t come home at night. Now, he was in Rayvale, on the staircase… on the 15th floor of Carls Hotel.
But soon, Rose realized something.
Since Lillian was here, it was normal that Judson was here.
But Rose didn’t expect that they were so intimate and sweet.
It seemed that they didn’t want to separate for a moment.
Rose felt that she had been a joke for the past 13 years.
She felt cold and ironic in her heart. But soon she felt relaxed.
Rose released her fists and adjusted her single–shoulder bag with no trace. “Judson, your intimate relationship with Ms. Stewart is true, right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Judson’s face turn gloomy.
He was unhappy just now, and now he was furious.
Judson asked with a gloomy face, “This is your purpose to come here? You even took my mom’s membership card and pretended to be her to come here.
“Rose, I don’t want to play games like this with you. Do you think I’ll like you since you do these things?”
Even if she left the Roach’s house suddenly, chased after him, sowed discord between Tameka and him… these were useless.
Judson grabbed her slender arm. “Rose, don’t put on a show. I’ve already known about your disgusting thoughts.“.
Rose’s wound didn’t recover. She felt a great pain.
His words and his expression were like sharp knives piercing her heart.
She felt so much pain that she felt that she was badly mutilated.
In the past, as soon as Rose saw Judson’s expression like this, or he said these sharp words, Rose would want to escape and curl herself up.
In order to protect herself, she would be terrified and careful. She would silently cry or keep away from him.
He would endure the pain secretly and cheat herself with those beautiful scenes just like her dream.
She never refused anything from Judson, whether it was sweet or sad.
But now, after she habitually felt pain, she was stunned.
She covered her chest with her hand and tried hard to calm down. Then, she looked into Judson’s eyes indifferently.
She continued to ask, “You haven’t answered my question. Yesterday afternoon, Lillian announced the relationship with you. And this morning, the Entertainment Department of Flourish Media posted a detailed report…”
Judson sneered, “Do you believe it? Rose, you almost do the same thing as them. What will the reporters do? Don’t you know it?”
Rose thought, “Good! He humiliates me and my career.
He really knows how to stimulate me.
Good job.”
Rose adjusted her breath and calmed down. “I read that passage. The reporter has a clear logic and provides some evidence…”
Judson interrupted her coldly and arrogantly.
“I think there were all rumors and lies. Just like you.”
If it wasn’t that Rose was sure that Judson didn’t know that she was working for Flourish Media, she would suspect that Judson had known something.
For example, Rose was that reporter.
Otherwise, why would he mock that reporter and humiliate her at the same time?
Rose pursed her lips and tried not to be so sad. “Judson, please answer my question. Have you been with Lillian?”
Tonight, Rose had to get this answer.
She could face any harm from him to get this answer.
Rose thought, “I want this answer!
Heh!
Am I afraid of being hurt now?
During these years, I’ve been hurt so many times badly.
I’ve had nothing to lose.”
***
Darrin once praised Rose that she was a really good interrogator. Rose would not be irritated easily and was always logical.
No matter how others quibbled or changed the topic, Rose would not forget her purpose.
She would not give up.
She would wait quietly. As soon as she found a chance, she would get the key points and win in the end.
But her ability seemed to be useless when she faced Judson.
She loved him so much before. He could easily make her emotions change.
Every time she faced him and asked him, she felt she was hurt herself.
And Judson just looked at her coldly. There was a hint of disdain in
his eyes.
“What? You know that it’s useless to stick to me. Do you want to show your jealousy in front of me? Do you think you are qualified to compete with Lillian?”
Rose smiled.
She tilted her head and didn’t want to show her weakness.
The sign of the fire exit was shining. Rose thought it was mocking her.
She thought, “Yes, I’m not qualified.
My parents were dead and I have no background. I have to accept support from the Roach family to survive. How can I be a match for the successor of the Roach family?”
Rose even felt pain when she was breathing. But she forced herself to ask again.
“So, Lillian and you are together now, right?”
After she finished this question, she subconsciously grabbed her bag tightly. She had to make sure that Judson’s face was captured.
