Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 97

She would never let her go on like this.

She was the one who discovered it.

If it was discovered by Miranda or her mother...

It wouldn't have ended well for Grace!

"Rosa... Are we still friends?" She frowned and asked in disbelief.

"Of course we're friends. That's why I can't let you drown!"

"Ha!" Grace chuckled. "Enough, Rosa, that's enough. You can stop pretending now. Are you acting this way because you're jealous of me?"

"Jealous of what?"

"You're jealous that I have branded bags. That I'm living a good life." She grabbed her hand and said, "We're best friends. I said that I can lend you money if you don't have it. How about this? I will give you 100,000 dollars if you pretend that you didn't know!"

Rosa instantly withdrew her hand.

She turned around and was about to leave.

"Rosa!" Grace immediately ran over and stopped her.

"Rosa!" She showed a pleading look. "Don't do this. What are you doing?"

Rosa looked at her and frowned.

"Rosa..."

"Don't you know what Miranda's mother is like?"

Grace was stunned.

"That man's current status and wealth are earned by Miranda's mother. She was decisive and ruthless. That's how Garcia family got to where they are now."

She took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, don't forget that she's part of the Lewis'. Don't you know powerful the Lewis's are in City C? If you were found out by them, do you think it will end well for you?"

Only then did Grace's expression change.

Yes, she had heard of that woman's ways.

In the past, there was another woman who had hooked up with Geoffrey. However, she was immediately destroyed and was forced to leave City C, never to be heard again.

She suddenly felt a little scared.

"I might as well tell you. Miranda already knows that her father has a woman outside. She's already been investigating it!"

"What?" Grace was stunned for a moment. "She's investigating?"

"How long do you think he can protect you?"

Grace bit her lip, not knowing what to do.

"The safest option is to leave him!" Rosa's voice softened.

Grace didn't know what to say.

Leave him?

Leaving this money maker?

Then her future expenses will be...

Her branded bags and clothes...

For a moment, she was a little scared.

"Rosa..." She called out weakly.

Rosa didn't say anything and just looked at her.

"I... I will contact him less in the future, um... I..."

"Grace!" Rosa couldn't help raising her voice. "Don't gamble with your future!"

Grace bit her lips and gave her a painful look.

"But... I finally got all I wanted... He said that he would buy me a house soon!"

This was City C. The land here is incredibly valuable. Owning a house is this place...

That...

Would be anyone's dream!

"How can you afford to buy a house? If you were found out, they could take it back from you anytime!"

Did she not know this basic law?

Grace didn't say anything. She lowered her head deep in thought.

Rosa did not urge her.

She had to think it through by herself.

"Okay, I'll leave him. Give me a month's time!" This was Grace's last straw.

She had to get as much as she can in a month.

"Grace!" Rosa frowned and raised her voice. She was obviously very upset.

"One month. Can't you give me one month?"

"Three days, just three days, I can't give you any more than that!" Her tone was very firm.

She wasn't forcing her.

She was helping her.

Three days was already a lot for her.

If Miranda's mother had found out about it...

She could've found out in mere minutes if she wanted to.

"Rosa..."

"There's no room for discussion!" Rosa interrupted her without thinking.

Then, she left.

Grace stood there for a long time before she came back to her senses.

—

She originally planned to ask the doctor at the hospital.

But in the end, she did not go.

Instead, she turned around and went to a real estate agent.

She went to check out the houses.

Even if Paige didn't look for her today...

She would also feel uneasy.

This time, she chose a slightly better house.

Although the rent was twice as expensive as before.

But the area was relatively new. There were grocery stores and supermarkets.

Rosa didn't think much about it and nodded. After checking out the house, she paid three months' worth of rent.

After that, she went to the hospital at night to ask the doctor about Cecil's situation.

The doctor's words were still the same.

His condition was stable, but because of the complexity of his illness, they couldn't cure it completely.

Every day he lived was a race with death.

But as long as he took his medication and had proper care...

His condition would still be relatively stable.

Of course, he couldn't be too agitated.

The last time he got sick was because he was too worried about her, and because of their 'best' relatives.

As a result, it made him upset thus triggering his illness.

Rosa understood and nodded.

She needed to complete the discharge procedures tomorrow.

Because no one would choose to be discharged at night.
