Most likely unaware of such an incident, Chairman Bell was shocked at the words he heard and turned to look at Nancy in surprise.
Of course, it went without saying that there was no way Nancy would admit such an act in front of her father. Especially not when doing so meant that she was plotting against both Rose Boyle and Sean. Daddy would be mortified, knowing she was plotting against her brother.
Nancy Bell adamantly denied, "She's lying, Daddy.”
Naturally, Chairman Bell believed his daughter over Rose, not to mention how Rose’s reputation was far from great. Such had only further enraged him, "Rose Boyle! How dare you slander Nancy?"
Purposefully expressing a look of surprise, Rose's following words had the people across her dropping their jaws.
"It's what Sir Ares told me, Chairman. As to whether that is the truth or not, I believe it best you ask Sir Ares himself.”
Both father and daughter Bell broke down.
Fear was written on Nancy's face. "You're lying, Rose Boyle. Why would Master Ares be helping you when h e hates you so much?"
Rose’s demeanor switched into one of pitiful innocence. "Well, I'm confused too. I suppose that is a question you should ask Master Ares if you really want to know."
Staring at Rose Loyle, the Chairman hesitated.
How he was going to treat Rose from that moment onwards all depended on how much she meant to Jay Ares.
As if reading her father's mind, Nancy urged her father. "She's lying, Daddy. Master Ares hates this woman. He's even told me before, how Rose Loyle is the only woman in the entire world that he hates."
As if struck by lightning, Rose Loyle fell apart.
"Did he really-say that?" All prior strength immediately vanished, looking like a lion who had just lost its battle.
Nancy’s sarcasm was fully unleashed as she spoke next, "Master Ares feels more than hate for you, in fact, he despises you from the depths of his heart. He even told me he wants to rip you apart-and what he complains about the most-why are you Jenson Ares' biological mother?"
Rose Loyle shook and quickly gripped the armrest of the chair in front of her in fear of slipping and falling.
