Clang.

A crispy sound came from the enamel cup.

Rose looked embarrassed under people's gazes!

What ill intentions were she harboring?

Why was she so emotional upon hearing Chapman's disassociation?

Kelly was doubtful.

James was also stunned but soon comprehended the situation thanks to his rich experience in the business world. "Mr. Kent, it's not that serious! Kelly is blessed to receive so much love from you, and I need to thank you on her behalf!"

"That's nice of you! By the way, Mr. Clark, as Kelly's father, aren't you suspicious of her falling into the water?"

"... You mean..." James tried to sound him out.

"Be it accidental or deliberate; I think we should figure out everything so that her trauma can be cured." Chapman turned to his grandson, "David, assign our men to dig it up. If it's really a scheme, we'll punish the culprit severely!"

Clatter... crash...

Rose's hand trembled. The teacup rolled down to her lap and dropped to the floor.

Broken pieces of bone china scattered.

"Why are you so careless?" James pulled a long face and snapped.

Startled, Rose bounced up from the Phoebe zhennan chair, "S... sorry, it slipped off my hand. I... I'll clean it up..."

Chapman and Kelly exchanged looks.

Kelly stood up and went over to help.

"Mrs. Clark, leave it to the maid. Are you hurt?" Chapman hurriedly stopped them.

"... I, I'm alright." Rose shook her head blankly.

Like a soulless person, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"My child, forget it, don't hurt your hands." She grabbed Kelly's hand and wrapped it with her palm.

Kelly found Rose's hand icy and trembling slightly.

A flash of gloom crossed her eyes.

Rose, didn't you think it was too late to feel scared now?

When you reached out your murderous hand to my mother...

When you looked arrogantly at my grandfather, who was having a heart attack and curling up on the ground in pain...

When you hired thugs to murder me, had you ever trembled a bit?

Or, you would only feel scared when you were facing bigshots like Chapman?

"My child, can't you remember anything about the accident?" Rose tried to sound her out again.

Kelly shook her head before slowly lifting it. Her eyes were filled with the timidity and dullness of a village girl, "I can't!"

"It's alright. In this case, forget those unpleasant things and live a happy life hereafter." Rose finally rested her anxious mind at ease.

"Mm!"

"Good!" Rose leaned over and hugged her hypocritically.

Just then, Chapman's assistant, Leo Phillips, came in with an armful of documents.

At the sight of James and Rose, he nodded his greetings and walked straight to Chapman, "Sir, these documents are for you to sign."

Though aged, Chapman had been wandering the business world for decades. His sagacious and awful air was fully demonstrated at that moment.
