The Billionaire's Detective のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

ROSEWe turn to see Dante walking in, dressed elegantly as always.He walks up to me and then stands in front of me."You all just said I can't afford a 5 million dollar dress for my woman?" he asks again, and they all keep silent, staring at him like he has said something he wasn't supposed to."That's not what we meant, Mr. Dante. We thought she was the one who got the dress by herself, and it's impossible for her to... please forgive us, Mr. Dante," one of the people present pleads. He knows they can't afford to mess with him."Yes, he's right, that's not what we meant. It wasn't our intention to say such... we only supported what her family said," another says.Dante turns to my mom, who has that disgusting look as usual."You said so?" he asks my mom, who lets out a silly chuckle."Yes, I did. I told her she couldn't afford the dress, and you know it's true. I'm her mom, so I have the right to tell her whatever I want. And mind you, you both are no longer together, so why are you

ROSEDante scoffs as he walks close to them. If what he said turns out to be true, then my parents will definitely suffer what they didn't see coming."Why is he hesitating? If what he said is true, then he should show us evidence. He claims he knows everything that happened, so let him show us!" Marie says."Yes, Mr. Dante, you're a man we hold in high esteem. You've said something about Mr. Webster and his wife; why not go ahead and prove it? You know we can't believe you if there's no evidence," one of the guests says.Now I'm beginning to feel like this isn't going to end in his favor. He said what he knows, but the crowd wouldn't be convinced because of mere talk; he needs to prove it to them if they are to believe him.If things go the wrong way, then I might end up suffering the consequences. I just pray he has proof to back up everything he just said.Without proof, it's an accusation, and it's against the law. They could sue him for defamation. And my dad wouldn't hesitate to

ROSE "Dad..." Marie yells, holding him from falling to the ground."Honey," my mom calls out as well before turning to face me."You see what you've caused? I hope you are happy seeing your dad this way! Look what you've done. If you hadn't brought this cruel man here, this wouldn't have happened!" My mom yells at me. I know they'll always find a way to blame me."Don't even get me started, Mom... we both know he brought this upon himself. He had the chance to make things right but still chose to argue and curse at Dante. So whatever happens to him is none of my business. Mind you, I wasn't the one who told him to send you to sleep with his friends to get projects. If anything should happen to him, then you're the one who killed him!" I pause, looking straight into her raging eyes. "You know, I've always known you to be a bad person, but never did I imagine you'd stoop as low as sleeping with married men for projects. The fact that you allowed yourself to be used is a great disgrace o

ROSE I turn to see Conrad standing behind me, both of his hands tucked in his pockets. What is he doing here, and why does he choose to play dirty with me?"I should have known it was you all along. You don't just get tired of acting crazy, do you?" I ask, balling my fists."I never expected you to be so scared. Wait, when did you suddenly change? You used to be scared of no one, so what changed?" he asks, giggling."Who said I was scared of you?" I ask, trying really hard not to lose it.To be frank, I am scared when I feel his hands on me."Don't lie to me, Rose. I know you better than you know yourself. I saw the fear in your eyes, so don't even think of denying it," Conrad says, trying to hold my hands, but I move back."You know you can actually speak to me without touching me, right? You better keep your hands off me if you don't want them chopped off!" I warn strictly. I already had a rough time trying to dismiss the annoying Dante, and now he is here. I might just vent on him

DANTEI don't even wait for her to finish what she has to say before I turn and leave the venue. She is the reason everything is going wrong. Every single thing that happens, happens because of her. If she hadn't shown up, Rose and I would still be together. Logan would have finally accepted Rose into his life. Now I begin to blame myself for bringing Logan back. I could have just left him to continue staying with Lavender; maybe that way he wouldn't be here making trouble for me.I ignore all her calls and drive off. I decide to go over to Rose's place so I can at least say a word to her, but I change my mind at the last minute. Continuously pressuring her won't change a thing.I get home, and just like I expect, Logan is there, standing outside the door like someone who has come to collect money from a debtor. Seeing him alone adds to my anger. Even before I approach him, I know what he is up to. Probably Lavender has called to tell him what happens, and he is outside to blackmail m
