The Gu's manor was extraordinarily quiet under the moonlight. Seeing that their master was in a bad
mood, the maids deliberately lowered the voice when they were talking, so the whole villa was
immersed in the inexplicable heavy atmosphere.
Without saying a word, Burke went upstairs, with his arms around Rose's waist, leaving her struggling
in his arms.
Thump! Thump! Thump! The sound of his footsteps was especially loud in the quiet villa.
"I asked you to let me go. Did you hear me? !" Rose struggled and tried to get rid of him, with her
hands on his chest.
After taking Rose to the room, Burke gave a kick, and the door slammed shut.
"Rose, why didn't you answer my phone?" Burke put Rose on the bed and looked down at her with
burning eyes as if he wanted to see her through.
"You called? When?" Rose's face turned red because of anger. Then she remembered that she had set
her cell phone on silent mode to comfort Tina so that she hadn't seen it for a whole day.
She took her phone out of her bag and found there were dozens of missed calls. She took a deep
breath and opened the phone. They were almost all from Burke. She didn't know what to say for a
moment.
Seeing Rose's series actions, Burke believed that she hadn't checked her cell phone for a whole day.
In order to be with Austin, she had been so busy that she even hadn't checked the cell phone? A
sinister smile emerged on Burke's face.
"Rose Lin, as long as you are still Mrs. Gu, behave yourself and do your part. I will never allow you to
destroy the reputation of my family."
'Destroy the reputation?' ?' When Rose heard that Burke regarded her as a disloyal woman in
marriage, she thought of herself behaving according to the status of a good wife for him, but now being
misunderstood by him like this, she felt as painful as being torn apart, quietly scratching the bed sheet
under her.
She raised her head and met Burke's cold eyes. Then she said indifferently, "Since you don't believe
me, you can divorce me, and also make room for your love Amanda as soon as possible. This is also
your wish." Disdain was written all over her face.
The word divorce was like a sharp knife stabbing into the heart of Burke. How could she be so eager to
end this marriage so that she could have a relationship with that Austin? However, he fell in love with
her so imperceptibly, which gave him a great frustration. Only Rose could make him lose control and
almost go crazy.
Burke lowered his voice and solemnly warned, "If you want to save your father Ray from the prison,
you'd better drop the idea of divorce and be a good wife for me."
He was threatening her.
Seeing that Burke was threatening her father, Rose got angry and stared at him.
"Burke, don't go too far!" Rose gnashed her teeth.
"Did I went too far?" Then you should never challenge my bottom line again!" Burke warned.
Biting her lower lip, Rose lowered her head and said nothing.
"There's a charity dinner tomorrow evening. Come with me. I've got your clothes and jewelry ready. I'll
pick you up at six o'clock tomorrow night."
Seeing that Rose did not say a word, Burke left the room in big strides, leaving her sitting at the
bedside to sob quietly.
Early the next morning, Sophie sent the evening dress and jewelry sent by Burke to Rose's bedroom.
Lying on the bed with a worn look, Rose stared blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling. It was obvious
that she hadn't slept for a whole night.
Seeing this, Sophie couldn't bear to see her like this. She put all her clothes and jewelry together gently
on the bedside and quietly left.
Rose turned around and glanced at the luxurious clothes and jewelry on the bedside. She sneered in
her mind. In Burke's eyes, she was just like those clothes and jewelry. They were not necessary for him
to show off on important occasions. Being Mrs. Gu was more like humiliation and torture to her.
Thinking of that day when she met her father in prison, Rose felt relieved and sad. Her father, Ray, was
her only family in the world. She had lost her mother, and she could never lose her father.
She had to attend the dinner party tonight.
Thinking of this, Rose from the bed and carefully freshened up. She had suffered from mood swings in
the past few days. As a result of the lack of sleep, the dark circles under her eyes were evident. She
tried to cover the tiredness on her face with foundation and concealment.
The dress Burke sent to Rose was a slender fishtail long dress with pure white background and peach
blossom decoration. The peach blossoms blossomed on the open fishtail hemline, simple but soft. The
tailored suit set off a graceful figure. The white and light pink background made Rose look more
elegant and graceful.
Rose coiled up her hair and wore it in a loose bun, showing the beautiful line of her neck.
Looking at the beautiful and elegant woman in the mirror, Rose couldn't help but shake her head.
It had been a long time since she dressed herself up like this. Ever since she got married with Burke,
she argued with him all day long. These accidents and pressures came one after another, making her
unable to take care of her appearance.
This was the first time that Burke took her to a banquet after they got married. In the past, when there
were a lot of celebrities gathered, Burke always attended the parties alone. There were once or twice
when he attended the parties with Amanda. And it was said that the CEO of the Gu Group and his wife
had a bad relationship.
Rose shook her head with self mockery. The rumor was telling the truth. She didn't get along well with
Burke.
Burke invited her to this trip to break this clingy rumor and avoid bad reputation of the Gu Family.
Rose sneered.
In the office building of the Gu Group, Amanda stepped out of the elevator on her high heels and
headed for the office of Burke with a gust of fragrance. However, she was stopped by Mike.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhao. Mr. Gu is having a video meeting with the starry company, and he ordered that
no one is allowed to enter." Mike reported with a professional smile.
"Not even me?" I need to meet him now." Amanda said to Mike in a sweet voice as if he had just eaten
a jar of honey.
"I'm sorry..." Mike, who was trying hard to bear the goose bumps on the ground, was about to say no,
but was interrupted by Burke's cold voice in the room.
"Let her in,"
Hearing this, Mike shifted his body in front of the door and twisted the handle.
Amanda smirked at Mike, walking in triumphantly.
The pleasant scent of coffee filled the office. Sitting at his desk, Burke took off his Bluetooth headset
with one hand, and the portable computer in front of him was still open. It was obvious that he had just
finished the meeting.
