Chapter 6 Let’s Have a Head-on Fight
“Rose, don’t believe in those rumors.” On the phone, Tameka’s voice was filled with fury. “They’re all fake! They could say anything just to attract attention!
“You’re my daughter-in-law, and I’ll never recognize any other woman for that!
“I’ve called to lecture Judson…” However, the call wasn’t connected, and Isidro took all the insults.
“Thank you, Mrs. Roach. I’m fine,” Rose calmly responded.
Tameka heaved a sigh of relief. “Rose, you’re just too gentle. Judson has feelings for you. He just doesn’t know how to talk well. Don’t worry, I’ll teach him a lesson, and he will care for you after your marriage.”
He had feelings for her…
Everyone in the Roach family said this.
Rose deceived herself like this in the past, but the truth was, Judson was unlikely to like her since he never expressed it. Otherwise, he couldn’t hide his feelings, just like when she was in deep love with Judson.
How could a woman expect a man to change after their marriage on the condition that he ignored her before it?
The chance was too slim.
And in the end, she failed to break up with him.
This relationship ended up as a failure, and Rose felt that she let Tameka down.
But Tameka would find out soon.
Butlers and servants in the Imperial Garden would talk.

“Rose, the Grand Movie Ceremony will be held tonight, so I need you to go to Rayvale with Eloy for a business trip,” Lakisha instructed in a low voice.
“Lillian will go as well. Try getting some information from her if you have a chance. If she admits this relationship, Judson wouldn’t have the face to sue you.”
This ceremony was more like a nominal one in the entertainment industry. Senior reporters in the company didn’t bother to go.
Lakisha wanted to send someone else to the ceremony but now, Rose would go on their behalf as a freshman. No one had any objections and instead, they had been cheering her up.
“Rose, you can do it. Obtain first-hand information to embarrass Judson!”
“Rose, we’ll be supporting you all the time!”
“Rose, stay under the bed if Lillian is on it. As long as you have the photo of their sex, you’ll win the lawsuit!”
What the hell was this…
Lakisha nodded. “This may not sound good, but it’s a way to win. Rose, you have to try.”
Though Darrin said that he would protect Rose, everyone knew that the best outcome of this fight against the Roawards Group would be mutual damage.
If Judson insisted on suing Rose, would Flourish Media go against the Roawards Group because of a new reporter like her?
They would probably make her the scapegoat as soon as possible.
Lakisha sighed when she saw Rose’s charming face.
Rose was beautiful and talented, but she had a hard life.
She reached the peak of her career with her first article, but what followed was her damnation.
She would be seriously injured if she was still alive when she offended Judson.

Eloy had put the camera in place.
Tonight was the time when the Grand Movie Ceremony was held. Lillian shut her mouth tight as expected.
The reporters swarmed to interview her but were separated by her bodyguards.
“Miss Lillian, is your relationship with Judson real?”
“Lillian, look this way! Is the ring on your finger sent by Judson as an engagement gift?”
“Ms. Stewart, photos and videos have been made public, and you’ve admitted it. When is Judson going to recognize your relationship?”
“Ms. Stewart, I heard that Judson was going to sue the media for rumoring about your affair. What’s your opinion on this matter?”
Lillian turned a deaf ear to those questions and left under the protection of the bodyguards with a smile.
Rose didn’t join those journalists.
She went to the outside of the hotel where Lillian was going to stay with Eloy.
Lakisha gave her this chance to change her fate. After all, Judson’s lawyers were not to be trifled with.
It was just that…
Rose looked at her peers in the surroundings.
Many people thought the same as her.
“We may not catch anything even if we stay here for a night,” said Rose in a low voice.
So many reporters were here because they wanted to get the photo of Judson being with Lillian.
Cameras were all aimed at the windows of the hotel.
It would be enough for the reporters even if they just shot a photo of their silhouettes.
But the point was, Judson wasn’t in Rayvale…
“I’ll go up to try.” Rose untied her hair.
Eloy was tempted by Rose’s hair but soon calmed down. “Rose, this is Carls Hotel. How could you go up?”
The Carls Hotel was a five-star one with a membership system. One without a membership card could only stay on the first floor to the tenth floor.
But Lillian would be staying in a VIP room on the 15th floor.
Rose parted the bush in front of her. “I have one.”
Tameka gave it to her.
Rose felt uncomfortable when looking into the affair between her ex-fiancé and his new lover.
But Rose needed this job for a salary. Jenifer was lying on the sickbed and waiting for the money.
She needed more evidence so she would have a higher chance of winning.
Since Judson wanted to sue her, fine.
She would fight with him till the end.
And his indictment would be the starting point of her career.
Eloy watched Rose walking into the lobby of the hotel.
Under the light, Rose looked slender and elegant. No one would suspect that she was a reporter.
Eloy rubbed his eyes.
And he thought about Darrin’s attitude toward her…
Darrin didn’t let his hidden lover work in his company to make her resume look better, did he?

Rose asked for a suite on the 15th floor.
The receptionist was about to decline, and when she saw the name on the card, she called the manager over, and soon, the check-in was finished.
Rose heaved a sigh of relief.
She was worried that Lillian booked all the rooms on the 15th floor.
Fortunately, Tameka’s membership card meant something to the hotel staff.
In the VIP elevator, Rose was the only one. In the rising elevator, she received a call from Lillian.
“Ms. Edwards, I believe that you’ve seen it.”
Lillian said with a smile. She sounded like a victor who was showing off her pleasure.
Rose was calm. “See what?”
“The report about my relationship with Judson.” Lillian laughed out. “We went to choose diamond rings together last night and made our relationship public. Do you not know it?”
“Is that so?” Rose’s voice was still calm. “But I heard that he wanted to sue the company for creating this rumor. The publication of your relationship is now your one-sided story. Judson never admitted it.”
“Heh.” Lillian’s tone changed. She was provoked by Rose’s calmness.
“Rose, do you think my family is the same as yours? Oh, I forgot that your family is gone.
“We’ll disclose our relationship on a well-selected day. He didn’t say anything just for fear that it would affect the strategies of our family business.”
