8 Another mistake

At that time Rosaline still had no idea who was this mysterious person who had helped them through their tough time. Never had she any idea on the identity of the person she had offended that night in the club.

Once she made her way downstairs, her eyes landed on the person who was sitting on the sofa in his dignified manner. He had a calm disposition, a chiselled face and a relatively severe aura around him as if he belonged to some nobility. His features were exquisite. And one couldn't help but stare at his ravishing face longer than normal.

"You?", she frowned and instantly recognized him.

It had already been an year but the face of that person was still fresh in her memory. She had never slapped anyone in her life. Not to mention a complete stranger that was both rich and a VIP.

After Amy constant nagging, she was worried that the person would show up to have revenge on her.

So his image was imprinted in her mind. But she was never scared. Rosaline was a fearless girl and bravery was one of her good or bad character.

"What are you doing here?', she asked in a hostile voice. She absolutely not had a good image of that man in her mind. That man who was hitting a woman other day. How could he be a gentleman?

Jiang was stunned. He had hoped to talk with her but now with her sudden appearance, he didn't know how to handle things.

And more than that why was she talking to that revered and fearsome person in such an impolite manner. He was afraid that she would offend him.

Damon lips curled up.

"You recognized me?", his voice was light as feathers.

He had concluded it by now. Her brother hadn't told her that she had already been promised to him by the contract.

Rosaline looked at the man contemptuously.

"How can I not recognize a man like you?", her voice was full of hatred.

It was the first he had been talked in that manner after being slapped by her one year ago.

Jiang was in cold sweats. Why was his little cousin who was always so polite and courteous, talking like this.

If this man was offended, their entire family would be eradicated!

No he must stop it.

"Rose!", his voice high as he reprimanded, "This is not a way to talk to your guest!"

Rosaline, who had never been rebuked by her older brother looked at him with a puzzled look.

But her brother didn't know what kind of man he was! He was the one who was hitting a woman the other day! How could he be a good person?

"Brother Jiang, you don't know what kind of person he is. He has a very bad character and...", Rosaline was angrily saying but was cut off by her brother voice.

"Shut up Rose!", he glared at her. Jiang was already panicking. He should have talked to her earlier.

Rosaline was even more angry. Why was her brother not letting her even talk. And why was he giving such an exaggerated response? He had always supported her before on whatever matter it was.

Damon cackled with a laughter confusing both siblings.

His laugh was like a dagger cutting Jiang spine to the whole length. Jiang was sweating profusely. Damon laughter was definitely not a merry one. It was a mocking one.

But his laughter had an opposite effect on our naive Rosaline. Anger bubbled inside her.

"You bastard, you think its funny? A son of a b**ch like...", before she could continue, a hand raised and slapped her face.

Rosaline was shocked.

Tear filled her eyes as she placed her hands on her face and looked at her brother.

His face was full of wrath and a little bit of panic.

"B-Brother Jiang?", she couldn't believe it. The brother who had dotted on her since she was little suddenly raised a hand on her?

She was never slapped before. Not even her uncle had ever raised a hand on her.

Damon looked attentively at the drama in front of her.

So the little doe still had her arrogance.

He couldn't wait for the day to shred her arrogance to pieces.

"So you still haven't told her anything", a cold voice was heard. Damon face looked like he was having quite a fun looking at the suffering of those two siblings.

Jiang heart was in his throat.

"Ms. Stafford I deeply apologize to you for my sister lack of respect", he frantically said panic-stricken and bowed in front of Damon."She is naive and young. Please forgive her in my stead"

"Brother Jiang, what haven't you told me?", Rosaline asked in her weak voice.

She was deeply confused. What was happening?

Why did her brother looked so scared of that man?

Scared to the extent that he slapped her?

"Rose go to your room", Jiang said in a grave voice.

His sister had caused enough damage. If she was to stay here, God knew how many more disrespectful things she would say to that terrifying man.

And if that man took something seriously.

"But Brother Jiang..."

"I said go to your room! Now!", Jiang snapped at her angrily.

Rosaline took two steps back. Tears still rolling down on her rosy cheeks. She turned and dashed upstairs to her room.
