Hunting for His EX-Wife

“Oh, really?” Rose raised her lips slightly, casually playing with her fingers as she smiled and said, “But I distinctly remember hearing you say last time that Elliot didn’t seem to care much about you.”

“Otherwise, why would he deliberately hide the surveillance footage that proves my brother’s guilt from you?”

The woman who had been standing opposite Rose with a smug look on her face was suddenly taken aback.

“That maid last time was you?”

Except for in front of that maid, Madeleine was sure she hadn’t discussed this matter with Rachel anywhere else.

But the maid did not look like Rose at all…

Rose sneered and looked at Madeleine coldly.

“You don’t have to act as if you and Elliot were a loving couple in front of me, because I don’t care at all.”

What she cared about now were only her children.

As long as her children were healthy and safe, it was better than anything else.

Madeleine didn’t believe what Rose said. She was still immersed in shock over Rose pretending to be the maid. After being stiff for a while, she suddenly snapped back to reality and glared angrily at the woman standing before her.

“So last time your act was intentional?”

Rose heard the sound but just smiled noncommittally without answering.

Madeleine’s pupils shrank slightly. Her face showed an expression of anger which could hardly be suppressed as she clenched her hand into a fist by her side.

She forced herself to smile lightly while saying, “Even if Elliot is getting closer to you now, what does it matter? He has a son with me; marrying me is just a matter of time.”

Thinking that wasn’t enough yet, Madeleine continued speaking, “You don’t know how much he cares about our child. Every time Shawn gets sick, Elliot always drops everything he’s doing and rushes over.”

“While you just have a bastard. Everyone knows who weighs more heavily on his heart.”

When Madeleine finished speaking, there appeared once more on her face an arrogant smile full of self-confidence.

Rose looked at the confident woman before her with cold eyes, feeling nothing but amusement inside herself.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“I’m not sure who weighs more heavily,” Rose replied calmly. “All I know is that my daughter in the Harper Villa is treated like a princess by Elliot.”

“And your son can only stay outside, not even worthy of living in the Harper Villa,” said Rose.

Madeleine’s face turned sour as she raised her hand to slap the woman in front of her. But just then, Elliot walked over and Madeleine quickly put her hand down, giving Rose a pitiful look.

“Rose, I’m sorry for everything before. It was all my fault. Please don’t blame me anymore, okay?” Madeleine pleaded.

Rose looked at the woman who suddenly changed her demeanor with furrowed brows and cold eyes. What is this woman up to?

Before Rose could figure it out, Madeleine’s helpless voice rang out again, “Rose, can you please stay this time? We can live together as a family. Isn’t that good?”

Rose tightened her hand by her side and stared at Madeleine mockingly. “Madeleine, stop pretending. No one is watching your performance here.”

“I’m not pretending,” Madeleine shook her head helplessly and said pitifully, “It really was all my fault before. Please don’t blame me anymore.”

“And Rachel… I really didn’t know Rachel would do that either. It’s also my fault for not taking care of my little sister properly.”

Just as Rose felt like she had run out of patience and wanted to leave this oppressive room, a tall man walked in from the door.

“It wasn’t your fault about Rachel,” Elliot said coldly.

As soon as Elliot spoke up for her, Madeleine felt proud inside once again, thinking that Elliot was still on her side.

She hid away any trace of pride, pretended to just notice his arrival, and looked surprised while calling him softly, “Elliot.”

The man frowned slightly but quickly returned to normalcy. His eyes were fixed on Rose throughout their conversation, hoping to see some kind of change on her face.

But he didn’t expect that throughout it all, Rose remained indifferent with no expression whatsoever.

Elliot pursed his lips and took a step forward. “Rachel is an adult now, and her mistakes have nothing to do with you,” he said. Even though he was speaking up for Madeleine, his eyes were fixed on Rose, and he couldn’t help feeling a sense of revenge brewing inside him.

Rose watched the scene unfold before her with cold detachment. Although she appeared calm on the surface, deep down she felt a twinge of sadness. It seemed that no matter what Madeleine said, Elliot would always believe her.

A bitter taste filled Rose’s mouth as she clenched her fists by her side. She spoke in a cold voice, “Madeleine, there’s no need for you to pretend around me because I won’t be coming back to live here again.”

With those words spoken aloud, Rose turned around and left the room without looking back.

As she walked downstairs towards the backyard for a stroll, Shiloh blocked her path.

Rose glared at Shiloh with icy eyes but tried to sidestep past her anyway. However, Shiloh stepped forward once more and stopped Rose in her tracks.

“Hey bitch! Can’t you see I’m standing here?” Shiloh spat out angrily at Rose.

Rose responded coolly, “Get out of my way.”

Shiloh was taken aback by this response from Rose; it was like someone had stepped on her tail! She jumped up and down furiously while staring daggers at Rose. “What did you just say? How dare you talk to me like that!”

Rose sneered mockingly at Shiloh; there was nothing but indifference in those dark eyes of hers. This expression only served to further infuriate Shiloh who raised an arm intending to strike out against this stepdaughter who dared challenge authority!

But before she could slapped Rose, the latter grabbed hold of her wrist tightly enough so as not allow any movement whatsoever!

“Don’t even think about laying another hand on me!” warned Rose as she flung off Shiloh’s hand forcefully.

Shiloh, feeling humiliated by Rose’s actions, clenched her teeth in disbelief. However, she noticed Rose turning around and about to leave. Out of the corner of her eye, she scanned the nearby pond and, with a malicious smile, suddenly spoke, “You bitch, if you dare to get any rougher, I’ll shatter your mother’s necklace.”

Mother’s necklace?

These words suddenly reached Rose’s ears, causing her to freeze in her tracks.
