Chapter 4 Try Raping Her

Rose thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Seeing the man's face so close, her heart started beating faster...

The next second, the man also noticed her presence.

As their eyes met, the air around them seemed to freeze...

His deep, piercing gaze locked onto her face, as if he were staring at some kind of freak, his expression momentarily dazed.

"Rose!"

Peter was the first to react. He rushed over with a fawning smile, greeting the man warmly.

"Come, have a seat! Sorry about the little commotion just now. Haha, I thought you'd be arriving a bit later. Please, make yourself comfortable!"

Then, lowering his voice to a sinister whisper near Rose's ear, he warned, "This is Daisy's fiancé. He's an honored guest in this house. Stop causing trouble and leave immediately!"

Fiancé?!

The word hit Rose like a bolt of lightning.

Her entire body stiffened, her disbelieving gaze once again locking onto the man's face...

At the same time, Catherine hurried over, wearing an obsequious smile as she tried to smooth things over.

"Rose, I sincerely apologize for what just happened. It's your first time visiting, and you had to witness such an unfortunate scene. What a joke we must have made of ourselves!"

Then, as if afraid that Rose's rebellious, delinquent image might tarnish The Crawford family's marriage alliance with The Williams family, Catherine quickly distanced them from her.

"This girl is Uncle Peter's ex-wife's daughter. She's always been arrogant and unruly, constantly causing trouble at home," Catherine explained with a forced chuckle.

"But don't worry, she doesn't live with us. Uncle Peter and I will make sure to handle this privately."

Alexander remained silent.

He simply cast Rose a cold, disdainful glance before looking away.

That look said everything.

After all, he had spent a year with her. He had long since seen through her debauched, selfish, and money-hungry nature.

And now, witnessing her slap her own stepmother, her viciousness only became even clearer in his mind.

"Sister, why do you always have to stir up trouble every time you come home?"

Daisy walked up to Rose, pretending to be kind. She even reached out to smooth Rose's hair, playing the victim.

"Sis, if my mom said anything to upset you, I'll apologize on her behalf, okay? You can take out your anger on me however you want... Just please, don't lash out at my mom anymore. She has a weak heart-"

"Get lost."

Rose hated having her hair touched-especially by this two-faced, manipulative white lotus.

Along with the insult, she shoved Daisy away!

Daisy stumbled backward, nearly losing her balance and falling to the ground.

Luckily, Alexander caught her just in time!

But that was the final straw for him.

His sharp eyes darkened, locking onto Rose like a predator ready to strike.

In a deep, threatening voice, he warned, "Try touching her again."

Rose froze.

Watching him hold Daisy protectively, his entire demeanor screaming possessiveness, she finally registered the truth-

He and this woman were about to get married.

"...Fine."

Rose sneered through gritted teeth.

If there was one thing she despised, it was being threatened.

The next second, she grabbed a glass of water from the housekeeper's tray-

And flung it straight into Daisy's face!

The moment the water splashed across Daisy's delicate features, Rose casually tossed the empty glass into the trash can.

Then, without a second glance, she picked up her purse and walked toward the door.

But before she could take more than a few steps-

A strong hand suddenly grabbed her arm!

She looked up-only to meet Alexander's stormy gaze, burning with barely restrained fury.

Rose instinctively tried to pull away, but his grip tightened, as if he was ready to crush her bones.

Realizing it was futile, she smirked, raising a teasing brow.

"Why is a grown man grabbing me like this?"

Then, with a wicked gleam in her eyes, she taunted,

"What, you planning to rape me?"
