The Lucky Wife novel Chapter 226

"Mm," he nodded agreeably.

Rose's phone abruptly rang. Rose saw Sean's name on the phone and was startled for a while.

She remembered that the hacker who had intruded into Eminent Honor's network had an IP that came from Bell Enterprise.

Rose tried to keep as calm as possible and picked up the phone. Her voice was as cool and steady as a stream of spring water.

"Mr. Bell!"

"We're no longer strangers, Rose. Why do you sound so formal? Just call me Sean," Sean's lively voice was heard over the phone.

"Yes, Sean," Rose said.

"I've heard that the Grand Old Master is there at Horizon Colors. Is he giving you any trouble?" Sean asked anxiously.

"He didn't," Rose replied calmly, "But he said that it's not suitable for me to live there."

Sean was instantly excited. "So are you planning to move out? Don't worry, Rose, I own many properties. I can let you live somewhere for free."

Jay could hear Sean's excited voice over the phone, which made him furious.

Rose had a different idea. 'I wonder if I can find out the secret behind Bell Enterprise's attack on Eminent Honor if I get closer to Sean?'

"Alright," Rose agreed immediately.

Jay looked at Rose incredulously. As far as he knew, Rose's ego did not allow her to accept any charity from Jay, so why did she agree to Sean's offer so readily?

"That settles it then. I'll come over and pick you up now," Sean said happily and ended the call.

Rose placed her phone down, and the smile on her face disappeared.

She turned around and saw Jay glaring at her. If looks could kill, Rose would have been utterly destroyed by now. Anyone else would have been cowed by that gaze.

"Why did you accept Sean Bell's offer?" Jay said icily.

Rose did not know how to explain it to him. "It's none of your business," she said snappily.

It was already unfortunate for her that she could not win Jay's love.
