Chapter 365 Rose Is Awake Everyone was stunned for a moment. A woman's slightly distorted voice could be heard over the phone. Although the voice was unidentifiable, one could tell that what was happening on the other end was intense.
The woman screamed various explicit words, causing the expressions of the people present to shift.
Kelly was a little surprised. She blamed Maya for distorting the voice, but it was fine. Even if they couldn't tell it was Rose's voice, it would still have the seffect if the video showed Rose.
Kelly glanced at Miles. What Kelly wanted to see most was Miles' reaction after realizing that Rose was the one in the video. However, Miles just frowned and seemed displeased. He didn't even take out his phone.
Chloe seemed to be shocked by the scene as she kept staring blankly at the screen. The woman's voice echoed across the funeral hall.
Amid the eerie atmosphere, a second person took out their phone and opened the message they received. The svoice echoed around the room. The crowd was stunned momentarily, having finally caught on to the situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnother person opened the message. After hearing the svoice, their suspicions were confirmed. They all received the smessage. And since they all received it simultaneously, it meant they must have all known the person in the video.
Unable to control their curiosity, everyone present wanted to know who the woman in the video was. People started taking out their phones one after another. Opening the messages, countless explicit sounds echoed through the entire funeral hall.
The video's content, however, was more obscene than the moans. The crowd couldn't help but glance at Kelly. However, Kelly's attention was still on Miles. She didn't want to miss even the most subtle reaction from him. Only after a while did she notice people staring.
When she looked over, she seemed to notice something from the corner of her eye, and immediately turned away. What was going on? Kelly felt something was amiss, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She didn't dwell on the thought.
Miles still hadn't taken out his phone. Kelly was getting impatient. She asked meekly, "What... what's that? Miles..." Miles was greatly displeased by the way she acted. He glanced at her emotionlessly. He knew that the video that was sent to everyone's phones was likely related to Kelly. So, Miles took out his phone and played it too.
Kelly's gaze was fixed on Miles. She hoped to see the shock and devastation on his face. Yet, Miles merely frowned in disgust. Kelly was silent. How could there only be disgust? Miles liked Rose. Seeing Rose in such a scene should've evoked other expressions. However, there was only disgust on his face.
Kelly felt somewhat disappointed as she hadn't seen what she wanted. Unwilling to give up, Kelly deliberately asked while batting her eyelashes innocently, "Miles, what's wrong?" She looked different from the bold woman in the video, yet the face was unmistakably Kelly's. Miles switched off his phone, ignoring her question.
Anastasia quietly observed Kelly's feigned innocence. On the other hand, Chloe looked at Kelly in a different light after the initial shock.
"I didn't expect this from you." Though she didn't mention who she was talking about, her gaze landed on Kelly. Kelly frowned, finally sensing something was off. "What... What do you mean?" "You're really different from how you were in the video." Chloe had other intentions. If this video was leaked, the reputation of the Young family's true heiress would be tarnished. Forget the public, she wouldn't even be able to face her own family in the future. Chloe saw the video as a valuable bargaining chip and turned her attention to Miles.
Without hesitation, she said, "Mr. Young Senior devoted his lifetto the Young family's legacy. Miles, you are a reasonable person and someone Mr. Young Senior higvalued. I believe you would agree to protect the reputation of Young family and Mr. Young Senior. If this gets leaked..." Chloe chuckled lightly, paying no attention to Kelly. Her focus was on Miles. Kelly's frown deepened. The peculiar feeling she had sensed becmore evident.
Rose was just an adopted granddaughter. If the video was leaked, Young family could release a statement, disassociating themselves from Rose and minimizing the impact of their reputation.
Moreover, as the current heir of the Young family, Chloe should have consulted Kelly. Why did she talk to Miles instead of her? Seeing Miles remaining silent and recalling Chloe's earlier suggestive words, Kelly cautiously asked, "Did something happen to Rose?" Rose? She believed the person in the video was Rose? Miles looked over, his gaze ice cold. Kelly was startled for a moment.
Then, a woman's voice cfrom the entrance. "Grandpa..." Everyone turned to look. At the doorway stood Rose, dressed in white. Her face was pale.
"Rose?" Miles approached with concern, followed by Gabriel.

However, Gabriel stopped in his tracks after realizing something. He kept his gaze on Rose, and the only Everyone wasn't Kone. Everyone was watching Rose as if her arrival had overshadowed the recent video. Yet, Rose's eyes were fixed on the crystal coffin in the funeral hall. Was that Grandpa? Rose trembled. When she woke up earlier, she heard
the news about her grandpa's accident. She hastily returned to the mansion, not even taking the tto put on shoes. Unaware, she had cut her feet on something along the way. Blood stained her bare feet. "Rose..." Miles wanted to tend to her injuries. He reached for her wrist, but he missed.
Rose slowly approached the crystal coffin. After seeing the person inside, her body went weak. Despite her earlier efforts, she couldn't hold it anymore and nearly collapsed.
Miles and Gabriel rushed toward her. Before they could catch her, a pair of arms embraced Rose. they belonged to none other than Jonathan, who had hurried into the mansion.
"Rose!" Jonathan looked anxious.
When he left the villa, Rose was still unconscious. Now that she was awake, it seemed she had learned about Mr. Young Senior's "accident". However, the situation was not as she thought.
There wasn't any tto explain.
Jonathan wanted to take Rose away.
As he carried her in Xis arms, her hand gripped his chest tightly. She said in a weak but resolute voice, "Putdown!"
