Chapter 117
“Who’s talking?” Rosie froze on the spot, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
She could clearly feel the oppressive force in that voice–so much so that, at first, she couldn’t even open her mouth.
At that moment, someone had already recognized who had spoken.
“It’s Richard.”
“Why is he here?”
“So he was serious just now? Zina really is from the Lambert family?”
While they were talking, Richard had already walked over to Rosie. “Were you the one causing trouble here just now?” he asked, his voice calm but firm.
“No, no.” Rosie was about to burst into tears, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. “I didn’t do anything. I don’t know-”

Rosie eagerly nodded. “Of course, it’s true. I’ve admired you ever since I was a kid, always hearing about your reputation.
“That’s why I wanted to come and tell you. I’m just scared Zina might come after me later, but I know you have to be honest and never hurt anyone.”
The more Rosie talked, the more worked up she got, clenching her fists at the end like she was genuinely worried about Richard.
Richard’s smile became even more pronounced, and Rosie’s eyes sparkled with growing anticipation.
I just gave Richard a heads–up; he’ll definitely reward me for this, right?‘ Rosie thought to herself. ‘Maybe in the future, I’ll even get to call myself the Lambert family’s benefactor
Rosie’s wide, round eyes stared dreamily ahead, her whole mind completely wrapped up in her own fantasies.
But at that moment, Richard’s voice suddenly turned ice–cold. He snapped, “You really have a way of turning black into white with your words.
