Chapter 197 Internal conflicts 2
“I did not con you and I was not the one who put it up for auction,” Rose swallowed her anger and pride and explained.
“I figured as much. I saw you sniffing around the auction house. I guess we both have been played by someone. Our marriage and affair were exposed, Lydia’s parentage came out, and Lester found out everything and even tricked you into this. This is all planned by someone.”
Romeo had spent the last few days when Rose was unconscious thinking things through.
He realized that they had both been played.
All these months, he had been thinking that it was Rose who had played him, but Lydia’s kidnapping had cleared his doubts.
And judging by how things were going Lester was clueless as well.
So, it could only be that bitch Anne’s daughter who must have lured him back to P city.
It was too coincidental. Lester had found out about them as well.
Rose lost her kidney, and Romeo was kicked out of the hotel where he was staying despite spending a lot of money lavishly.
They needed to clear the air between them. Rose and he had schemed against Anne and Lester decades ago and won with flying colors. They could not let their daughter win, especially since their own daughter would be the one to eventually suffer.
Rose took a while to digest the news.
“Tell me what you think,” Rose slowly asked.
“It is too coincidental that everything went wrong at once at my end. You know I never keep all my money in one place for safety reasons. But I was broke and barely had enough money to come back. It makes me wonder that I did not come back here, I was brought back,” Romeo said through gritted teeth.
Rose took a deep breath as she realized the severity of the situation.
“You guys spent 10 Million on a simple ring, she goaded you into it. And us getting caught. We had always been very careful. And it can’t be a coincidence that we got caught just when she exposed you and Lydia for internet things. Everything had been going wrong since she came back to P city.”
Romeo analyzed everything and explained that they were being played like a fiddle the entire time.
Rose sucked in a deep breath to control her anger. Getting angry was not the way to go when they were already in a pickle.
Romeo caressed her and brought a glass of water to her.
“Don’t be angry. We will deal with her just like we did with her mother. But first, Lester has to pay for his crimes.”
Romeo said with venom, “He should not have brought Lydia into his schemes. Even though he did not do anything to her, and she was only drugged the entire time, he still should not have touched her.”
Rose nodded.
“Yes, before we deal with that bitch, I want Lester punished. How dare he hurt Lydia?”
“First, think of what you are going to tell everyone once you go back home,” Romeo said.
Rose nodded, “Don’t worry, I will handle it. Let’s move to a new hospital first. If I die before having my revenge on Lester, I will turn into a ghost.”
Romeo dissuaded her, “That will alert him. Don’t do that! I think there should not be any problem now. The ones on Lester’s side have all fled. The nurses who take care of you don’t know that you were duped.”
“Find me a slow poison which can be mixed in his food without suspicion. Since he took away my kidney, I will make sure all his organs rot,” Rose spat.
Romeo patted her, “Alright! I will look for something on the black market.”
He hesitated for a while and added, “You should alert Lydia.”
Rose stiffened at that. Lydia made her hopeless. “I don’t know who she takes after. She is really stupid. I am scared for her, Romeo. No matter what happens, you must protect her.”
Romeo nodded, “How about we send her abroad?”
Rose shook her head, “I sent her abroad to study. She only partied and shopped for six years and came back as soon as Anne’s daughter came back. While Anne’s daughter raised kids by herself and even formed a company, Lydia only spent money. She does not listen to anyone and has no sense of danger.”
Romeo let out a frustrated sigh, “Maybe she just needs a push. I will meet her and talk to her.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
It was quite ironic to see how Romeo and Rose were concerned when their daughter was involved, despite lacking even a sliver of compassion when it came to Liliana or anyone else.
Since they only wanted money, they could have simply treated Liliana better and enjoyed her fortune after marrying Lester.
But, of course, their venomous heart could not comprehend that.
They wanted her fortune, they also wanted to ruin her, they wanted Lydia to be better than her, and they wanted to be on the high ground as well.
