Chapter 117: Chapter 117

At the behest of the many servants, Rosemary took a seat at the piano. Her slender fingers lightly touched the keys as the melodious sound of the piano filled the room. Each note seemed to transform

into a lively sprite, taking everyone on a joyous journey.

Those who listened to the piece felt as if they were traveling through a sea of flowers and seeing a crystal clear ocean, their spirits greatly relaxed and delighted.

As the rhythm of the song gradually accelerated, everyone’s mood got better and better, their bodies and minds refreshed.

No one knew how long it had been when the piano music finally ceased, and everyone clapped their hands vigorously.

"That was awesome!"

"I listen to your pieces every night, and I can immediately recognize this as your piece. You’re undoubtedly Maestro Melody!"

"Is this a new piece? I’ve never heard it before, it’s full of artistic flair and it’s super pleasing. I loved it!"

"Where can I download this piece? I want to hear it again."

Several servants surrounded Rosemary, idolizing her.

Rosemary gave a light smile, "That was an impromptu."

No template, no preconceptions, she played whatever came to her mind, freely expressing herself.

Everyone was full of praises.

"That impromptu piece you played was even better than those classic masterpieces. Miss, you’re freaking amazing!"

"That piece you just played, it’s the best piano piece I’ve ever heard!"

Rosemary’s piano skills clearly surpassed Serena.

Serena, who had been playing the piano since she was a child, never played music this beautiful. She standing aside, felt even more jealous seeing how the servants admired and liked Rosemary!

So annoying! She stole the spotlight again!

"Rose and this piano are a perfect match." Louisa said.

Louisa had been filming and taking pictures of her daughter since the beginning. And now, seeing her

daughter sitting at the piano, her every move, posture, expression, was beyond perfection.

Her daughter was just so beautiful, such a sight for sore eyes!

"Everyone, move this piano to Rose’s room. Rose, play it when you have time, and just leave it when you don’t. Don’t worry about it getting dusty." Kenneth’s tone was always very indulgent.

Rosemary nodded, took out the gifts she made in the lab today, and handed them out, one bottle per person, "This is my gift for you."

Kenneth and Louisa were both a little surprised, more gifts?

"It’s been so long since I came home, and I haven’t given you anything." Rosemary said.

These two bottles of pills, she just made them, each with different effects.

"Dad, your bottle can enhance physical health." Rosemary said.

Rosemary knew that Kenneth had paid a lot for his career when he was young and had many health issues. This bottle could solve many problems.

"Mom, your bottle can beautify and nourish the complexion." Rosemary said gently, "Take one pill each day, and keep it up for three months. You will see very good results."

Each small bottle contained about 100 pills.

"My little girl, did you buy us health supplements?" Louisa mistakenly thought that this little thing was a health supplement, and felt extremely surprised and touched, "You’re so thoughtful!"

She looked at Rosemary, her eyes full of affection, "My girl, don’t worry, we will definitely persist in taking it! We won’t miss a day!"

"This is Rose’s gift. I can’t bear to eat it." Kenneth held the small bottle of pills tightly, his eyes filled with tears.

This was the first gift Rose gave them after she came home. He wanted to keep it. Keep it forever.

"There will be more when you finish." Rosemary said.

Kenneth was very happy, "There’s more?"

"Yep." Rosemary said.

"Rose, don’t spend any more money. Save your money for yourself. If it’s not enough, just ask us. We don’t need you to buy any gifts. As long as you are healthy and happy, we are satisfied." Louisa lovingly said.

"Let’s not talk about this for now. Tonight’s dinner is ready. Rose, let’s have a good celebration tonight!" Kenneth said.

Serena, who was standing by, watched her parents holding Rosemary’s hand and leaving, feeling very upset. Even though she was the one who got first place, why were her parents celebrating for Rosemary?

They said they didn’t have favorites? She was left all alone. It couldn’t be more obvious that they were playing favorites!!

At 7 o’clock in the evening, the lights in the McMillian Corporation building were bright, and no one dared to leave work early.

In the conference room.

Romeo listened to a manager’s report with a cold expression and frosty eyes, "This is your so–called strategy?"

"Mr. McMillian, I thought if we spread the news, it could make our competitors invest in the land in S city. As long as they get stuck in that piece of land, financial problems would be inevitable, and then

we could take them over." The manager said, "I was wrong! I didn’t expect them to pretend to invest in the land in S city on the surface, but secretly they bought all the land in B city that we were interested

in, and they tricked us."

The manager felt very sorry and apologized with a bow.

Romeo’s gaze was as cold as water, "How many years have you been working in the corporation?"

"Huh?" The manager was stunned by the question, and quickly answered, "Mr. McMillian, it’s been eight years."

"Has the company been treating you poorly?" Romeo asked.

"Of course not." The manager was already sweating profusely and shaking uncontrollably.

"Since the company has not mistreated you." Romeo’s icy gaze landed on his head, "Why did you betray the McMillian family?"

"Mr. McMillian??" The manager did not expect the news to reach Romeo so quickly. He had initially planned to go abroad to lay low after this deal. "You’re flying to France at eight tonight?" Romeo threw the plane ticket in front of him, and the manager immediately turned pale. It was over, everything had been found out!

Carl, who was standing aside, said coldly, "If our competitor’s corporation offered you very attractive conditions, and you’ve decided to go, all you have to do is submit your resignation. McMillian Corporation will not stop you, but if you’re playing tricks behind our back."

The manager started shaking even more violently, "Mr. McMillian, Carl, I was wrong. Please give me another chance!"

Carl shot the manager a glance, and said in an icy tone, "Mr. McMillian has known about your dirty tricks behind the scenes for a while now. B city? That piece of land isn’t what we’re really after. The real deal is actually over in S city. But we used your tactics to stir up some trouble for them."

The manager was instantly shocked, realizing he was toast and his face fell in utter despair.

"You’ve leaked the company’s secrets. That’s illegal." Carl’s words hung in the air. Right on cue, two cops showed up, taking the manager away for questioning.

Romeo swept his gaze over the crowd, "Now, anyone else want to come clean?"

Rosemary had just enjoyed a romantic candlelit dinner and had a rare, delightful family moment. Even though Serena’s presence was a bit of a mood killer, the love and adoration from her parents was

genuine. For the first time in her life, Rosemary truly, deeply, felt the warmth of family.

"Rose, go take a shower first. There’s a surprise waiting for you later!" Louisa said.

Rosemary came downstairs fresh from her bath, to see the sky filled with bursting fireworks. Louisa, wearing a tender smile, beckoned, "Rose, come over, let’s take a group picture!"

A famous photographer and his team were waiting under the fireworks. Under the dazzling night sky, Kenneth and Louisa, both wearing gentle smiles, hold each of their daughter’s hands, "We’ve always

wanted to take a photo with you, but never got the chance. Serena just happened to be out with her friends."

This worked out nicely, a photo with just the three of them. After all, they were the ones who were blood–related.

"But, I’m in my PJs." Rosemary said.

Before Rosemary could finish her sentence, Kenneth and Louisa burst out laughing, "No worries, no worries."

They had deliberately worn their PJs too, to look more like a family. They wanted to capture this slice of life moment.

"Alright, everyone squeeze in! Mr. Collins, your collar is a bit crooked. Mrs. Collins, chin down a bit. Rosemary, could you give a bigger smile?" The photographer said.

Rosemary flashed a bright smile as the camera clicked away.

"Switch places, switch places!" Louisa happily traded places with Kenneth.

The fireworks in the sky served as their backdrop, both of them holding Rosemary’s hands, their faces glowing with happiness.

Rosemary had never felt her parents’ love so intensely, The way they doted on her, as if she were their most precious treasure.

"Alright, let’s change it up." The photographer took more candid shots in the living room after the garden shoot.

Rosemary, held closely by her parents, felt a warmth she had never felt before.

After shooting over a dozen scenes, Louisa still wanted more. But Kenneth chuckled, "Let’s give Rose a break, we’ve been shooting for quite a while tonight."

"Madam, we’ve shot over a dozen scenes already, there are thousands of photos." The photographer was also worried that they might be too tired and it would affect their expressions.

"Let’s take more when the boys return!" Kenneth massaged Louisa while speaking, "Someone, bring some lemonade."

Someone brought the lemonade. Louisa placed a straw and handed it to Rosemary, "Rose, have some water. You must be tired.""

Rosemary shook her head and took a sip. It was a bit sweet. She also felt sweet in her heart.

"Want some dessert?" Kenneth brought a whole plate of desserts in front of Rosemary, "Do you like pink macarons? Or do you prefer pudding? If you don’t like either, I’ll have them made again!"

"Mom, Dad, you guys choose first." Rosemary took the plate and handed it to them.

Kenneth and Louisa, touched by the gesture, each took one dessert even though they usually didn’t have sweets at night.

The photographer sent all the digital photos to Louisa’s phone first. Louisa, looking at the countless frames of them, felt extremely satisfied. Every single one was perfectly captured, so natural.

"Rose, come take a look, do you have any favorites? I’ll send them to you first." Louisa said.

Rosemary chose a biscuit, paired it with the lemonade, took a look and said, "All good."

"Then I’ll send them all to you." After sending them, Louisa continued to admire the photos, "These are really fantastic! Especially these few."

Seeing her set one of the photos as her phone wallpaper, Kenneth also chimed in, "I want to set it as my wallpaper too!"
