The street lamps lit up as the skies darkened.
Rose Loyle stood in front of the large glass window with her arms folded in front of her chest, looking at the colors that painted Swallow City.
Once upon a time, the Severe family was the most influential in Swallow City.
What had happened?
Her mother was living in a secluded manor, her grandfather was holding on to dear life in a government-owned hospital, and the subsidiary companies under the Severe family were being bought over one by one. To top it off, the family was facing potential bankruptcy.
Her brother had founded Eminent Honor because he was unsatisfied with what had befallen the Severe family. He was hoping to rise again by using friends and relatives that were once close to the Severe family. What her brother did not understand was that those people were neither reliable nor useful as the Severe family would not be in such a position if the case was the other way around.
There was subliminal hope for Severe Enterprise to rise again as Old Master Severe was now bed-ridden indefinitely. Who in the right mind was going to bet o n the Severe family to rise again?
Rose sighed hopelessly.
The accident not only changed her fate, but the fate of the whole Severe family!
Back then, she was a young and foolish girl who was i n love; she never once considered the consequences and thus ended up paying a painful price.
Fortunately... she managed to find her path once again.
She recalled the lessons her grandfather had once imparted to her. 'Angeline, a person will never have a smooth sailing life. When you’re high up in the mountains, you have the risk of falling down the cliffs. You must always remember that you cannot be proud or arrogant when you’re at the top. Likewise, you should never feel humiliated or embarrassed when you fall into the gorge. Keep your dignity high because your confidence will help you reach new heights and achieve glory.'
The sadness within Rose's gaze gradually turned into determination.
On the bed, Baby Zetty was fast asleep, snoring obliviously to everything around him. 2
Rose quietly left the hotel as she planned to visit her grandfather at the hospital.
Consequently, the sound of her door opening alerted the man next door.
