Chapter 176 Rose Hill is back
He just sat there, exuding an air of nobility and asceticism, blending with the gorgeous colors around him to form a mysterious and beautiful painting.
The statue-like body of the person in the painting began to turn, and slowly turned his upper body sideways, revealing his deep eyebrows, and called her flatly, "Come to me, Sera."
The person who thought she would marry Xander appeared in Wally again, and the eyes looking at her were still very predatory.
Sera locked the door with her backhand to prevent the nobles from coming in, and slowly walked over.
Standing still in front of him, she lowered her eyes and said coldly, "Long time no see, Duke of Rosehill."
He leaned on the sofa and folded his legs, "Why did you hang up on me?"
Sierra pursed her lips, “Because there’s nothing to say.”
Rose Hill looked at her, rarely without a cold face, and a chuckle came from his lips, "I thought you were smart before, why are you stupid now?"
Sera pursed her lips, looked up at him dissatisfied, her almond-shaped eyes slightly widened, "Are you just here to make me angry? You'd better let dad receive you, I'm going upstairs."
She turned around and was about to leave, when her slender wrist was held by cold fingers.
Rose Hill stood up, took out a velvet box from her pocket, stuffed the box into her palm, and said softly: "Open it and take a look."
"What?"
Sierra looked down at the box in her hand and opened it casually.
A drop-shaped ruby necklace hung by a string, the scarlet color freezes everything like coagulated blood.
Her pupils shrank and her expression changed immediately.
This necklace looks familiar. It has been published in newspapers before, and it is an eternal gemstone with a sky-high price.
Sierra suddenly looked back at him and said in shock: "Isn't this the engagement gift you gave your fiancée?"
Rose Hill frowned and said in a low voice, "Who told you it was for her."
Not only was she such a surprised reaction, the rich people who were locked out of the living room also had the same reaction.
Lizzie experienced an incredibly bad wedding, and was thwarted by Rose Hill's manipulations again.
The gossiping nobles and wealthy people began to whisper again.
"Didn't the newspaper say that it was an engagement gift for Sander? But the Duke came to give it to Miss Serra himself? What does that mean? If they are a couple, what happened to the king's engagement?"
"It's said to be a wedding, but in fact the newspaper doesn't seem to say anything about the Duke's promise. The gems being auctioned were just supposed to be given to Miss Sander."
"He resisted the king's proposed marriage? Want to marry Miss Serra?"
"It depends on the situation. Otherwise, why would you give her that priceless gem?"
With every additional word spoken around him, Lizzie's face turned paler. He suddenly gasped urgently and swayed, so weak that he almost fainted like his wife and daughter.
Fortunately, the servant stepped forward and held him firmly.
Sera licked her lips and rolled her eyes randomly, "Everyone is saying this now. The news that you and Xander are getting married has spread all over the sky, and the king has issued an order."
When the monarch of a country ordered a marriage, how could the ministers resist? But then again, this matter was left to Rose Hill.
Seeing his cold and arrogant look, Sera felt that he could do this even if he refused to marry.
He was the heir to the throne, was extremely wealthy, and had a blood-sucking army. He was not afraid of the human king, let alone cared about his orders.
Rose Hill eavesdropped on her thoughts completely. The corners of his lips curved slightly, and he was quite satisfied with her flattery. "Look, you know everything, and you are still stupidly angry."
"If you keep calling me stupid, I'll ignore you." Sierra got angry and returned the velvet box to him.
Rose Hill directly took out the necklace inside, threw the box to the sofa aside, bent over, put his arm around her neck, and put the necklace on her.
The sudden hugging movement was mixed with the faint fragrance of the man. He seemed to have sprayed rose perfume, otherwise how could the smell be so strong and heady.
Sierra pressed her nose against his shoulder, her cheeks a little red, "There are many people outside, you don't know."
"Is it necessary to care about the food on the table?" Rose Hill didn't respond emotionally. He gently pinched the flesh of her back neck with his fingertips, stared at her chest and praised, "It's not bad."
The cold temperature and touch made Sera tremble all over and bit her lip.
He asked: "Now you completely understand that I am not interested in Xander?"
The gem hanging on her chest was cold in texture. She touched it with her fingers and her voice softened, "I understand."
This gem is more expensive than the entire Mawson Manor. He doesn't need to say anything. This is the best explanation.
Rose Hill took back his hand, "Now, you have to apologize to me."
"Ah?" Sierra was confused for a moment. Didn't this mean that he came to apologize to herself?
"You hung up the phone on me. This behavior was very rude." He was still struggling with this matter.
For the sake of the sky-high price of the gem, Sierra apologized obediently, "Well, I really shouldn't have hung up on you so rudely."
Rose Hill smiled lightly, "Okay, I'm just here to attend the wedding banquet today."
Sierra looked at the people locked outside the living room, "I'm going to open the door first. It's not good to lock people out like this."
As a noble, Rosehill doesn't like socializing, but with the blessing of cultivation, he won't mess around. He can still maintain his grace and occasionally say a few words to others.
Sierra breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to the pale-faced Lizzie, "The Duke of Rosehill is here for dad's wedding. Do you want to go with him to say hello?"
"You come to the study with me first."
Lizzie led her into the study and took a deep breath, "You already knew that the Duke would give you the necklace. You were in love before, why didn't you tell me."
Sierra was almost shocked by the tone of his question. She raised her eyebrows: "I never said that I was his lover, nor did I deny my close relationship with him. It was Mrs. Qiaoqi who always put me in the position of his mistress. Damn it, although I understand this is her profession, but my father believes in her and not me, what can I do?"
He had preconceived the idea that he was the duke's lover and that he was just playing with him. How could he blame her for this?
It was Josie who made all of this happen.
Sierra looked at him and continued: "You know everything about me, Mrs. Josie. Not long ago, she told you that I am a lover and asked me to marry a widower quickly. This is a great thing."
She took a step closer and her tone suddenly changed, "Tell me, what should I do if the Duke of Rosehill finds out about this? Can the Duke still marry me? You are already going bankrupt, right? Dad, you can still pay the monthly maintenance fees of the manor. rise?"
He followed Josie's idea and invested most of his savings. Now not only has he lost all his money, he also faces bankruptcy and loss of money.
Lizzie sat on the sofa with her eyes empty. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
