Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Truth About The Affair

When Rose entered the room, she immediately knew that they called her here to gang up on her. She only had two choices; stand there and take it, or fight back. And she chose to fight back!

Since she chose to fight back, there wasn't a need to hold back. As expected, her words left everyone in the room furious. Nixon was the first to break the tension,

"Rose, who are you calling trash?!"

Chelsea clenched her fists and tugged on Jamie's sleeve.

"Jamie, look at her. Kelly is so kind, but she just said that about her! Kelly is just upstairs, and if she hears others belittling her like this, she would be even more upset."

Jamie couldn't stand to see his precious Kelly hurt. He wished he could slap Rose's face. However, considering today's purpose, Jamie held himself back.

"Rose, we all know what happened that day in the museum. Even though Maya accidentally pushed Kelly.. you were the cause of the incident. So, you have to be held accountable for Kelly's miscarriage." Rose didn't respond.

"I'm the cause of the incident?" she thought to herself.

"Are you sure you all know what happened?" Rose laughed sarcastically.

A hint of guilt flashed in Jamie's eyes, then he glared at Rose angrily.

"In the end, Kelly was the one who got hurt, so you must be held accountable!"

Rose raised an eyebrow. Well, today was all about holding her accountable after all!

"So, tell me, how should I take responsibility?" Rose wanted to know why Jamie called her here.

Jamie glanced upstairs at Kelly's room.

He said, "Apologize to Kelly."

Apologize? Rose was a little surprised.

Just then, a voice called out, "Dad..."

Rose looked over and saw that Kelly's door had opened. Kelly was wearing white and her face was pale, looking like a fragile little rabbit.

As she was about to come downstairs, Nixon rushed to her and held her. "Kelly, you're still weak. I told you to stay in bed, why did you get up again?" Nixon's soft and caring demeanor made Rose feel envious. However, Rose instinctively became wary. Kelly most definitely had tricks up her sleeves.

Sure enough, with Kelly's insistence, Nixon carried her down. He placed Kelly on the sofa, but she didn't even sit down. She fell to her knees with a resounding thud. "Kelly..."

"Kelly, what are you doing?"

Her actions

surprised everyone. Nixon tried to help her up, but she repeatedly refused.

*Rose..."

Kelly looked at Rose, her previously pale face showed a hint of pain from kneeling on the ground. Rose furrowed her brows and said nothing as Kelly knelt at her feet. "Rose, will you please forgive me? We both have our differences, but we are still sisters after all. Let's set those differences aside so we can start over as sisters and a family." Kelly's words surprised Rose. However, Chloe's praises showed Kelly's true intentions.

Chloe said, "Kelly is always so understanding.

Rose let out a sarcastic laugh. Was she putting on an act to gain sympathy? If Rose refused to forgive her and start over, wouldn't she be the unreasonable one? "Kelly."

Rose crouched down and took Kelly's hand. She felt Kelly's hand tremble, and a trace of wariness flashed in her eyes. Rose saw this, and her acting became even more convincing.

"What forgiveness? We're sisters by blood. Even if we have misunderstandings, all we need to do is clear it up. Of course, we're still sisters and a family."

As Rose spoke, Jamie and Chelsea's expressions changed. Chloe furrowed her brows and glanced at

them.

"I thought that Chelsea brought Kelly into the Shaffer family. How could there be any blood relations?" Chloe asked.

A hint of panic flashed through Kelly's eyes.

Before she could explain, Jamie retorted, "Rose, what nonsense are you saying? Kelly and you don't have the same parents, how could you be blood-related?"

Kelly's history was a secret Jamie had always kept hidden. Celeste Jewelry was founded by Celeste herself. Before Jamie's marriage to her, he had nothing. He lived a luxurious life thanks to Celeste.

If the truth of his affair, the existence of an illegitimate daughter, and the fact that he married the woman he cheated on Celeste with after her death came to light, his reputation in Aquastead would be ruined. "Rose, you better take back what you said," Jamie threatened Rose, glaring at her intimidatingly.

Rose shrugged helplessly and raised her hands.

"Alright, fine. If you say that we're not related, then we're not related!"

Her words left Jamie speechless. A flash of understanding flashed across Chloe's face, and she looked at Kelly differently.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Kelly..

Chloe suddenly stood up and walked over to her.
