Chapter 1040 Catch Her (9)
Late at night. Rose arrived alone at the Harper Group building. She was nervous and her palms were slightly sweaty. Using Elliot's fingerprint, she successfully unlocked the building's security system and walked in without any obstacles. Once inside, she took Elliot's private elevator and then used her fingerprint to unlock his office before confidently walking in.
Elliot's office had a cold calor scheme which made it look even colder at night. With pursed lips and a serious expression, Rose walked straight towards the wall opposite the office.
After a moment of searching, she found a switch on the wall that revealed a decent-sized space when pressed. In the center of that space was a black safe.
Trembling slightly with anticipation, Rose used the fingerprint to successfully unlock the safe. When she heard it click open, for just one moment everything felt surreal to her, as if this whole thing had been too easy.
It was like stepping into an already prepared trap set by hunters whe lured their prey step by step into it.
Rose crouched down next to the safe and took a deep breath before deciding that enough was enough; after all this time worrying about what could go wrong when everything seemed so perfect? She bit down hard on her lip before reaching out for something inside - a box with a label reading "Hotel Surveillance Footage on July 9th.”
As soon as Rose saw those words on that label affixed to that box, she knew immediately this was what she needed! She held onto that box tightly in one hand while smiling lightly with relief spreading across her face. ‘Finally! I can save my brother!"
The smile grew wider as happiness filled every inch of Rose's body; even unconsciously letting out sounds of joy. "This is great! I can finally prove my brother's innocence!”
As long as she could rescue her brother, she was determined to convince him to leave this place with her. When the time came. they could find a place to live a good life abroad.
Rose stood up happily, holding onto that precious box tightly while feeling light-footed as if walking on air... but suddenly all lights turned on brightly within Elliot's office!
Rose instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes, looking a bit flustered. What's going on?! Just then, the office door was pushed open and a tall man in a black suit walked in.
"Rose, it's really you!" His voice was deep and confident.
There was also a hint of excitement that he couldn't quite hide
Rose's pupils shrank. She never expected Elliot to suddenly appear here!
She tightened her grip on the surveillance video tape in her right hand and knew that things had escalated to this point. Denying her identity would be useless
Thinking of this, she looked at the man before her with an even colder gaze.
Rose didn't want to waste time talking with him since she had obtained the most important surveillance footage!
She took a deep breath and tried to walk past Elliot without saying anything but he clearly wasn't going to give up that easily. With his face darkening, he stepped towards Rose with an imposing manner.
Seeing his gloomy expression, Rose couldn't help but take two steps back in fear. "What... what do you want?"
Elliot smirked contemptuously as he stared at Rose with cold eyes devoid of any emotion. “Rose, tonight you got what you wanted again... are you planning on running away?"
The woman shivered as she took another step back before accidentally falling into the chair behind her.
In the next-second, Elliot leaned forward towards Rose by placing his hands of either side of the chaif- arm resis until their faces were only inches apart from each other "Speak." Content belongs ta” -
With gritted teeth and Knowing that remaining sifent wouldn't help anymore at this point, Rose glared-> defi antlysat him while furrowing her eyebrows. "What's wrong? I'm not yourconcern! Why should you care iff “Fun or not?!" o
Elliot took a deep breath before speaking again in an even colder tone, "Don't forget, Rose... you're my wife.”
Hearing those words made Rose laugh mockingly yet unable to conceal how much pain it caused inside of herself...

This word was like a joke reminding herself of all those shameful moments from before...
Her eyes narrowed as she glared at Elliot who was now so close. "Elliot! Isn't driving me to death one time enough for you?"
If only she hadn't been so foolish back then, how could she have ended up being exiled like this now?
If he hadn't cheated, how could she have abandoned her identity and started over! She had become like this now, wasn't he the one who started all of this! As she pondered, her gaze on the man before her turned increasingly furious, almost wishing she could beat this scumbag to death right now.
The man's lips curled into a cold smile as he saw the anger in her eyes.
"I drove you toxyour death?! If it weren't for your stupidity back then, not even knowing how to drive, <> would you have been driving intothe sea?" Elliot looked at the stubborn worran I in front of him and suddenly fefBike a fool, just like he uSéd to be.
At that time, he watched helplessly as Rose got into a car accident and fell into the sea.
He even jumped into the sea and searched for her for a long time!
But as a result, this woman is still alive, but she doesn't tell him!
If it weren't for him catching her today trying to take the footage, would she have wanted to leave quietly again?!
She's the one who can't recognize goodness!
