Royan could not believe what he witnessed. He did not think that Rose would have turned into a completely different person. In the past, she would only shed silent tears regardless of how they bullied her.
However, today she not only showed no respect, but she even hit her stepmother.
"Rose Loyle, are you revolting?!” Royan picked up a stack of documents that were on the table, planning to throw it at Rose.
Rose did not budge a bit. Her blood-shot eyes were staring straight at Royan. "If you lay a finger on me today, I will make this into tomorrow's headlines and break all relations with the Loyle family. I will sit and watch Grand Asia buy over Loyle Enterprise. I will watch how you all will turn from a life of intoxicating riches into beggars. I'll see all of you walking toward the lowly life I used to live..."
The folder in Royan's hand fell. He was used to a life o f riches and being respected by most people. He would rather die than to return to a life of poverty.
"Rose, I'm your father. Are you going to just watch Loyle Enterprise which I've worked so hard to build get destroyed just like that?"
Rose's lips curved into a smile. Since the Loyle family
wanted to pull her into these muddy waters, she was going to use the gravestone of Loyle Enterprise as her stepping stone.
"I can help you, but with one condition,” Rose said.
"What condition?"
Rose shifted her icy glare toward her stepmother. She could not forgive this woman when she thought about the pain this woman had given to the original Rose Loyle.
"Firstly, ask her to kowtow to me and admit her wrongdoings."
"Impossible. Rose Loyle, who do you think you are?" her stepmother bellowed.
"Kneel," Royan ordered her stepmother.
