Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 7

When Rose returned to the villa in Scenic Gardens, she was refused entry.

"How dare she come back again? Chelsea, go and drive her away!"

Jamie's angry shout could be heard through the door.

"Jamie, don't get angry because of her. You should take care of your health …"

"Dad, just let Rose in. She probably wasn't thinking straight when she betrayed Mr. Lane. The men at Nightfall Lounge are all … engaged in that sort of work.

"I'm sure Rose would've paid him so that he wouldn't tell anyone else about something like this …"

Over in the living room, it seemed like Chelsea and Kelly were coming to Rose's defense. But in reality, they were adding fuel to the fire.

In an instant, Jamie's tirade intensified.

"She's a wretched girl! I refuse to acknowledge a shameless woman like her as my daughter! From now on, she is not allowed to enter this house. I don't want her tainting this place.

"Kelly, you're kind and innocent. Don't be like her."

Rose felt like her heart was breaking. She was so upset that it hurt.

She knew Jamie never liked her. Ever since she was a child, Jamie treated her coldly no matter what she did.

It was his first time reacting so strongly to something she did.

Jamie did not like her, but he pampered Kelly a lot. Kelly was his stepdaughter. She joined the family when he remarried.

When Rose thought about Kelly's true identity, she sneered mockingly.

Suddenly, she saw something through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Avoiding Jamie's line of sight, Kelly was smiling gleefully at Rose. She seemed to be announcing her victory.

Rose's eyes flashed coldly. But the very next moment, she smiled brightly and waved at Kelly.

Kelly's smile froze. She did not expect Rose to smile at all. She had expected to see Rose crying instead.

Just then, Rose clenched her waving hand into a fist. Then, she lifted her middle finger …

Kelly was dumbstruck.

Her expression instantly soured.

Rose turned around and left. Kelly stared at her retreating figure with hatred-filled eyes.

Furious, she immediately sent a message to Maya. Then, she appealed to Jamie. "Dad, Mrs. Lane Senior's birthday banquet is tomorrow. Let me go with you. I want to gain more exposure to society!"

Kelly swore to humiliate Rose during the Lanes' birthday banquet tomorrow.

…

It was midnight. Rose was wandering the streets.
