Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Chapter 82

At half past eleven in the evening. Rosemary finally returned to Reflections Villa.

"Rose, you’re back?"

Serena, who was about to go downstairs, saw Rosemary heading upstairs. Suddenly a gust of wind blew, revealing several hickeys on Rosemary’s neck.

It was like a heavy blow to Serena’s heart, a pain so intense it was unbearable.

"Rose, why are you back so late? Were you with my brother in law?"

Even though she knew there was a chance Rosemary was with Romeo, seeing the hickeys on her neck,

Serena couldn’t accept it!

Romeo was always so restrained, how could he passionately kiss a woman like that?

It must be Rosemary who seduced him!

"Rose, we may not have strict house rules, but you should come home earlier, or people will say we have no manners."

Rosemary looked up and asked casually, "Do you like Romeo?"

"I definitely don’t like him..." Serena lowered her head in denial, not daring to meet her gaze.

Not because she was afraid of her, but afraid she would tell their parents. Even if she liked Romeo, she couldn’t admit it in front of her....

"Then stay away from him. Rosemary’s tone was nonchalant, showing no emotion, "Mind your own business."

"Rose"

Serena watched Rosemary walk upstairs, clenching her fists.

She was just a country girl, who was she to talk to her like that?

Did she really think that returning to the Collins family meant she could look down on everyone?

Rosemary returned to her bedroom, her phone suddenly vibrating. It was a call from Jack.

"Boss, the matter with the Group has been resolved. Also, regarding the investigation you asked me to do about the Mercy Hospital fire eighteen years ago on September 10th, there are now some leads."

"The janitor, Yvonne, who raised Yolanda Harris, once told her friend that it was a night of heavy rain, and the road conditions were very poor. Many places were flooded due to the rain. Around 2 AM,

Yvonne and other janitors were cleaning the streets and helping with drainage when suddenly, they heard a series of loud explosions. The explosions continued one after another. At first, Yvonne was too

frightened to approach, but later, when rescuing people, she noticed several black unlicensed cars leaving the scene. In that era and place, not many people had cars... I suspect that the fire may be connected to those cars."

Rosemary’s gaze deepened, "Who would want to burn down the entire clinic, and for what reason?"

"It’s strange... Yvonne was only focused on the rescue at the time and didn’t think much of it. If she had noticed anything special about the people or features of the cars, it would have been much easier to investigate."

"But Yvonne’s not doing well now."

"Huh?" Rosemary raised an eyebrow.

Isn’t she Yolanda’s adoptive mother?

Even though Yolanda has now returned to the Harris family, she’s been raising Yolanda with great difficulty for many years, how could there be a bad outcome?

"After finding out about her origins, the Harris family offered Yvonne a hundred grand, but Yvonne didn’t bite. She just hoped to spend some time with Yolanda when she could However, Yolanda wasn’t

having any of it and didn’t want much to do with her."

"Yvonne tried to visit the Harris family many times, but was shooed away by the help every time. Now, she’s in bad health, with no income, and no family or kids to look after her. It’s kinda pitiful"

"She ended up raising an ungrateful brat," Rosemary knew Yolanda’s character. Yolanda would just see her past as a humiliation, preferring to push Yvonne away to clamber up the social ladder!

"Another odd thing is, the higher–ups from Mercy Hospital back then are all missing, and there’s no trace of them even in the archives."

"Now, all we can do is look for clues from Yvonne and other rescuers. But boss, brace yourself. The results may not come quickly."

"Mhm.’ Rosemary finished, felt her phone buzz. She glanced at the screen, it was Romeo calling. "Gotta take this."

After her call with Romeo and a shower, Rosemary hit the sack.

In her dream, she seemed to be back at the Harris family, watching a little girl holding Olga Harris’s hand, teary–eyed, asking, "Mama, when will you come back next time?" "Rosemary, can you just stop?

Your dad and I are up to our eyeballs in work every day. Do you think we’re idle? Just because you have a fever, we should come see you?" Little Rosemary felt wronged, crying softly, "I didn’t..."

"Do you think your grandma would call us and force us to come back if you didn’t tell her? Do you know how much we have to put on hold every time we come back!" "Alright Olga, she’s just a kid," Attlee

Harris tried to mediate.

"A kid?" Olga snapped, "Which kid manipulates us with the elders at such a young age? Look at how your mom spoils her! I tell you, Rosemary, the more you do this, the more I dislike you! You are always

crying, so annoying!"

Watching Olga storm off, Attlee hurriedly followed, "Honey, don’t be like this... The kid doesn’t know that her grandpa teft the company to us after his death, and that so many people in the company are

trying to oust us, setting up roadblocks... She just misses us."

"This troublemaker, always causing us problems. If she’s so capable, why don’t she make us unnecessary to work, what can she do besides crying!"

Little Rosemary, wiping her tears, seemed to make up her mind. If she becomes better, helps the family to make money, would mom and dad not have to work so hard? Would they like her then?

With the help of her grandpas, she excelled. Only then did she find out that the relationship between Grace Harris and Olga was not good, there were even some unpleasant incidents over the shares...

Olga had no love for Grace, every time Grace was affectionate towards Rosemary, Olga’s distaste for Rosemary deepened...

Olga even thought of Rosemary as a troublemaker, every time she came back, there would be mistakes at work, hence she was less and less willing to come home. Throughout the years, Attlee and Olga seldom came home, the bond between them and Rosemary was very weak.

Before, Olga disliked hearing Rosemary cry, gradually, Rosemary became a child who wouldn’t cry. To outsiders, she even seemed a bit aloof, not keen on mingling with people. After a long time, Rosemary

opened her eyes again. It was already day outside.

She felt hollow inside.

She picked up her phone to check the time, it was only half past six. On the screen were a few unread messages from Romeo.

[Rose.]

[I miss you so much that I can’t sleep.]

[I want to hold you as I sleep.]

The emptiness in Rosemary’s heart seemed to be filled with something, the sense of loss was gone, replaced by a faint feeling of happiness.
