Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Chapter 235

A stunning and haughty girl walked through the door, followed by a nanny.

"Is Alma here?" Beverly ended her call at once, pretending to be cross. "Why are you so slow, child? Your cousin is already here! And Lina, why didn’t you remind her?"

Nanny Lina immediately bowed her head, apologizing, "I’m sorry, ma’am, my bad."

"Come here, let me introduce you. This is your cousin, Rosemary Collins. Rosemary, this is your cousin, Alma."

Rosemary grinned, realizing the girl who bumped into her and stepped on her foot at the mall without apologizing today was actually her cousin, Alma. Wasn’t she the one who said that LY’s clothes looked

ordinary and not worthwhile to buy after looking around?

Why was she head to toe in LY today?

Alma’s face turned red as she noticed Rosemary’s gaze, as if someone had just slapped her.

Perhaps it was unexpected to encounter Rosemary here. A trace of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure, forcing a calm demeanor, and asked, "Mom, is she really the

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Collins?"

"Yes, she is. Now say hello!"

Alma was a bit sour to find out that her cousin could casually wear shoes worth two hundred grand.

"What are you standing there for? Say hello!" Beverly looked at her sternly, then turned to the others and laughed. "She’s probably starstruck by her gorgeous cousin, right?"

"Ma’am, you might not know, but Ms. Alma was ticked off today! She said she met a very rude girl at the mall."

Before Lina could finish, Alma interrupted lowly, "Lina!"

Lina didn’t know that the "rude" girl mentioned was Rosemary and thought that Alma didn’t want to talk

about it because she didn’t want to ruin the mood. So, she added on her own, "Ms. Alma has never been wronged since she was little! Ma’am, we need to deal with this Who dares to mess with our young lady?"

Rosemary chuckled at this and said coolly, "I think the one who was wronged was the person you stepped on and bumped into without apologizing, right?" Beverly was confused. "What’s going on?"

Louisa was quick to catch on: "Rosemary, did you meet Alma before? Do you know what happened?"

"Yeah, we have." Rosemary shrugged. "Alma bumped into someone, stepped on them, and didn’t want to apologize. That person’s shoes cost two hundred grand, and she decided to pay twenty grand for dry cleaning, but"

Everyone chimed in, "But what?"

"That person didn’t accept the money but donated it instead. I guess that’s why Alma is upset."

Alma was fuming but didn’t dare say anything in case Rosemary revealed who was next.

The dinner party tonight was centered around Rosemary, and she would be reprimanded by all the parents.

Rosemary anticipated this and looked at her with a glint in her eye.

"You child!" Beverly finally understood the situation and scolded Alma, "You bumped into someone,stepped on their shoes, and didn’t even say sorry? That’s too much!"

"Mom."

"You really hit the jackpot with a generous one, didn’t you? She donated all the compensation money you gave her. By now, you should realize there’s always someone out there who’s stronger than you."

Beverly paused a moment before adding, "Your cousin saw the whole thing; lucky for us, we’re family,and she didn’t laugh at you. But if you mess up again, I’m freezing your bank account!"

"I get it," Alma mumbled, looking at Rosemary with clear resentment.

Serena watched the scene and couldn’t help but feel a rush of satisfaction.

"Since this is just a minor hiccup, let’s leave it in the past," Lucas said, trying to lighten the mood. "Rose just got off work; she must be hungry. Lina, ring the bell for the waiter to serve the dishes."

"Okay," Lina said, pressing the button with an awkward look. She hadn’t expected things to play out like this.

Alma muttered, "Off work?"

She couldn’t believe her young cousin, who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen, was already working.

Hearing her, Beverly took the opportunity to encourage her. "Your cousin took over a fashion company under our corporate umbrella as soon as she got home, and she’s doing an amazing job. You should

learn from her!"

Alma was surprised to learn that the person who had been causing a stir at the fashion company was her cousin, not some high–ranking executive. Turned out the girl was quite capable!

"Your cousin aced her college entrance exam. She’s not only good at academics; she’s competent and beautiful." Beverly couldn’t stop praising Rosemary. "Lina, hold on; we’re not all here yet," Kenneth

Collins said, seeing Lina about to ring the bell.

Everyone was curious, who else was coming?

"David’s been home recently; he’ll be here soon, as will Romeo."

"Romeo’s coming?" Beverly was surprised; her face relaxed instantly. "Romeo rarely attends such events."

"He’s dating Rose." Kenneth had barely finished speaking when there was a knock at the door.

"Rose, it must be Romeo; go check!"

As Rosemary stood up, Beverly masked her emotions with a smile and quickly noted the shoes Rosemary was wearing, a pair of LY private custom ones, worth about two hundred thousand dollars. She quickly understood everything and gave Alma a stern look.

Alma lowered her head; her breathing became lighter. She didn’t expect her mother to figure things out so quickly.

As Rosemary opened the door, Romeo McMillian was standing there, looking very formal and handsome, giving off a meeting–the–parents vibe.

"I was held up; sorry for being late," Romeo said affectionately to Rosemary. "Are your parents here?"

"Yes, they’re all in there."

"When I meet your parents, you should give me some courage, right?" Romeo extended his hand to her as she turned to leave, looking at her expectantly.

He had met her parents many times before; he had been to her house countless times; his courage was no less than anyone else’s; he just wanted an opportunity to hold her hand.

Seeing that she didn’t react, Romeo walked up to her and took her hand.

The two families sitting at the table watched them walk in hand in hand, and the sharp–eyed Beverly suddenly noticed the necklace around Rosemary’s neck, which was the globally famous, invaluable

crown necklace once owned by Shirley McMillian!
