Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Chapter 71

Serena was completely floored. Even Kenneth and Louisa couldn’t believe it, both of them blurting out,

"Designed by Romeo?"

"This design is way too good, isn’t it?" Louisa kept gushing, "Even better than what our professional jewelry designers can do. The shape, the creativity. Love really does make a difference, huh?"

Who’d have thought Romeo had such a romantic side? Kenneth chuckled appreciatively and said,

"Romeo, you’re such a sweetheart, making such a unique piece. Rose, have you ever given anything to Romeo?"

Rosemary was stumped. Indeed, she realized that since they met, it had been all about Romeo’s giving and her taking. She hadn’t really returned the favor or even properly thanked him.

"You see, Phillip gave you that necklace with a special meaning, and Romeo personally designed this bracelet for you. Maybe when you have some time, think about what you can give them in return."

Kenneth suggested it with a warm smile.

"It’s all good." Romeo brushed it off, sparing the girl beside him any embarrassment. He sincerely said,

"Rose is the best gift the McMillan family has ever received. I just want her; nothing else matters."

Rosemary looked at him, his eyes full of love and tenderness. Overwhelmed, she quickly looked away.

"Romeo, you sure have a way with words." Louisa chuckled approvingly. "Such a tender, tall, and handsome young man. Rose, you better hold onto him. I can tell Romeo would make a great husband."

Rosemary was speechless.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Serena was utterly speechless!

She was already at the last step of the staircase. One more step, and she would be at the top, no longer able to hear their conversation.

But she felt as if she was frozen in place, unable to move!

Romeo had designed a bracelet for Rosemary and even said such sweet and sincere words!

He was such a quiet and reserved man, yet he could say such things. It was clear how deep his feelings for Rosemary were!

In just a few days, his affection for Rosemary had deepened to such an extent!

"Miss Serena." Martha offered her hand and asked, "You should change into something warmer. Don’t catch a cold."

Serena’s eyes were filled with resentment and tears. She couldn’t accept it. She was the one who met Romeo first! If Rosemary hadn’t returned, everything would have been hers!

The position of the Collins family’s heiress and of Romeo’s wife should have belonged to her alone!

Why is the world so unfair?

Why gave her such a high starting point only to ruthlessly push her into an abyss?

Despite feeling crushed, she instinctively picked out a sexy nightgown to wear for Romeo.

When she got downstairs, Romeo had already left. Only Kenneth, Louisa, Rosemary, and Edith remained in the living room.

Serena took a quick look and decided not to go downstairs, instead hiding beside the staircase to eavesdrop.

"I heard about the canteen incident from the company. I can’t believe–Dave is so despicable. He’s been feeding our employees food full of all kinds of additives for a whole year!" Kenneth was furious.

"Thank God Rose found out. Otherwise, our employees would have continued to suffer, and the company would have lost a lot of money!"

Louisa was also hearing about this for the first time: "That’s so heartless! Thank goodness Rose is capable and discovered this! But Rose, where did you learn all this professional knowledge?"

Incredible!

How did she know what additives to add to which foods to produce certain dishes?

Today, the company staff were left dumbfounded by how casually yet confidently she exposed all the canteen’s "conspiracies".

"I saw it online," Rosemary replied nonchalantly, as if it was no big deal.

"I can’t believe there are such jerks in this world, charging employees for meals and then serving them such crappy food" Louisa couldn’t help but ask, "Is it true that he’s Oscar’s relative?"

"Yes", Rosemary answered indifferently

"And what’s Oscar’s stance on this?"

"Pleading for mercy"

"Pleading for mercy? He’s got some nerve sticking up for Dave", Louisa said getting a bit miffed.

"I bet Oscar’s got some dirt on his hands too. Either he’s in on the scam, or he knows about it but chooses to cover for Dave."

How else could Dave dare mess around in the Collins family’s territory?

There must be someone backing him up!

"Thank God Ms Rose went there, or we wouldn’t have known about all these problems in the company!" Edith couldn’t help but say, "You’re amazing! You’ve only been there a few days, and you’ve

already rooted out two bad apples!"

Those two were like termites in the company. Rooting them out saved the company quite a bit of money.

"Rose, you’re only eighteen and you had no prior experience managing a company, but you’ve done an amazing job turning things around. We’re really proud and happy. You’ve saved us and your brother a

lot of trouble," Louisa said appreciatively.

Who knew why the Harris family didn’t value such an outstanding kid? They must have had screws loose.

"Rose’s been working all day. Let her go take a bath and rest." Kenneth knew the kid was tired.

Managing a company, no matter its size, always involved a lot of busy work. "Yeah, go take a bath and relax," Louisa said lovingly. "I’ll bring up some supper for you later."

"I’m not hungry."

"The cook’s already preparing it. Eat a little." Louisa wasn’t sure if Rose was eating enough on her dates with Romeo. She was worried Rose might be holding back and not eating much in front of him.

"Alright, I’ll go up then." Rosemary didn’t turn down her mother’s kind offer.

When Serena heard Rose was going upstairs, she quickly hid. After Rose closed her room door,Serena came back out. She could still hear Kenneth and Louisa downstairs praising Rose.

"This kid is truly exceptional. She’s a natural at business. We must groom her for it.""

"Groom what? She’s still young! Don’t even think about offloading the other subsidiaries on her!" Louisa was worried for her daughter.

"You’re right; that’s exactly what I was thinking."

"One company is already plenty for her. If she decides to go to college after her results are out, you better not make her run this little company!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. Whatever Rose chooses, I will support and encourage her."

"That’s more like it."

"But we will definitely have to leave some of the Collins family’s assets to her. If she doesn’t want to manage them, she can hire someone else. Of course, all of this is for the future."

Hearing their plans, Serena’s nails dug into her palm.

Even if Rosemary was their biological daughter, she was just a girl. There were many boys in the family.

Why should she get a share of the Collins family’s assets?
