Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 349

The screen was frozen, and the cabin was filled with eerie silence. The footage simply played over and over again on a loop. Oliver was visibly agitated as he pointed at the screen. His distress at Kelly kicking his wheelchair was audible from the video.

Rose suddenly snapped out of her shock. "Grandpa ... Grandpa, it's okay. It's all in the past."

Rose wanted to hold Oliver's hand and provide him with a sense of security, but her hands were tied. She tried to break free several times but couldn't do so.

Fortunately, Oliver calmed down after hearing her words. Oliver looked at Rose. It was clear that he was shaken by the video.

"Grandpa, it's okay. Everything's in the past. Kelly … probably didn't mean any harm."

Although Rose knew that Kelly was up to no good and suspected that Kelly was planning something even bigger, Kelly was still Oliver's biological granddaughter. Oliver definitely wouldn't expect his granddaughter to do something so ruthless.

So, she decided to paint Kelly in a better light, even though she didn't want to. It was all for Oliver's sake. He stared at Rose silently.

Suddenly, he realized that his wheelchair was pressing against Rose and started to panic. "Rose … are you … alright? Why didn't you dodge it? You dummy …" Oliver used all his strength to move the wheelchair away.

"I'm fine."

If she had moved away, the wheelchair would've flipped over and Oliver would've fallen. How could she let that happen? Rose forced a smile. Even the slightest movement made the spot where she was hit ache. But she couldn't afford to care about herself.

She continued reassuring Oliver. "Grandpa, don't worry."

Rose struggled to free herself from the ropes that bound her hands and feet. She scanned her surroundings and saw a pair of scissors in the corner of the cabin. She inched forward.

When her hand touched the scissors, Rose breathed a sigh of relief. The most important thing right now was to free herself.

After much struggle, Rose managed to cut the ropes binding her. Upon doing so, she immediately stood up and walked over to Oliver's side.

Oliver simply stared at her in a daze. There seemed to be a lot going through his mind. However, Rose wasn't able to read his thoughts.

"Grandpa?" His expression seemed puzzled to Rose, but she didn't feel any animosity from him. Rose tried calling out to him again.

After a moment, Oliver finally snapped out of his daze and grabbed her hand. He gave her a nod and his eyes seemed to tear up.

Thinking he was still frightened, Rose quickly picked up the remote control that had been discarded by Nixon nearby and turned off the video.

Once she felt the fear in his eyes diminish, Rose tentatively said, "Grandpa, wait for me here. I'll go outside and have a look."

Outside, the seawater was splashing against the cabin. As they were currently inside the cabin, they were unaware of the situation outside.

However, Oliver kept holding her hand. Rose patted his hand to comfort him, and it gradually loosened. As Rose walked out of the cabin, Oliver's gaze followed her.

His voice wavered as he softly called out, "Rose ..." However, his voice was drowned out by the sounds of the sea.

Rose walked out of the cabin into the pitch-black night, where the strong wind stung her face. Surrounded by nothing but darkness, a feeling of dread enveloped her.
