Chapter 53 Ms. Edwards, Mr. Roach couldn’t make it (1)
The phone was ringing almost to the point of hanging up
automatically, and Rose finally heard Judson’s voice from the receiver.
“What’s the matter?”
Still cold and impatient tone.
No title, no affection, only disgust
But Rose had already transitioned from habit to numbness, and then to indifference.
“Mr. Roach, I apologize for bothering you by calling so late,” he said. He had his indifference, and Rose had her politeness.
“Please refrain from interfering in my career and my life in the future… The Edwards family, with our dignity, can handle small matters without the need for someone like you, a Green Dragon Crescent Blade.”
“By the way, and also your assistant named Isidro, please ask him not to say any more inappropriate things…”
Rose chuckled softly on the other end of the phone.
She laughed so beautifully, like the wind blowing a cluster of lilies of the valley.
“He said, Mr. Roach, you have done a lot for me. He said you, the esteemed owner of the Roawards Group, have gone through great lengths for me. Of course, I didn’t believe any of these words. As an

orphan without parents, how could I deserve your care?”
“But he did cause me quite a bit of trouble, so please ask him not to come over again… That’s all, sorry for the interruption, I wish you a prosperous and successful business, and may everything go smoothly for you.”

By the time Judson had fully digested Rose’s words, she had already hung up the phone.
So abrupt, so sudden, so… heartless!
Judson’s brow furrowed, and without hesitation, he sent her back in time.
But the phone beeped twice, interrupting the dialing.
She blocked him with such skill that it was as if she were a worker on the assembly line folding paper boxes in the factory!

“Keenan, please.” Lillian pleaded with tears in her eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. “I only saw him for a moment, and it took me a lot of effort to make time to come here. Just one glance is enough…”
Keenan was about to shake his head
Bang!
There was a loud noise coming from inside the office.
Something seemed to have hit the door.
Keenan turned around in astonishment, and Lillian was so scared that she almost hiccuped.
But then, bang!
What was the sound of something hitting the ground again, shaking the ground three times directly.
Keenan took a few steps forward and then barely stopped.
The sound of things falling to the ground came one after another.
In his mind, he counted the things in Judson’s office one by one.
Computer, sculpture, cup, chair, file box…
Lillian still wanted to go back, but Keenan had already coldly warned
her, “Ms. Stewart, if you don’t leave now, I will call someone.”
“Keenan…”
Keenan took out his phone.
Lillian’s silver tooth was bitten and shattered, yet she was helpless.
Keenan was much more difficult to deal with than Isidro. He appeared gentle and polite when meeting people, treating her with courtesy. However, he was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
When she became the Mrs. Roach of the Roach family one day, the first thing she had to get rid of was the person by Judson’s side!
***
Judson completely smashed the office.
After realizing that Rose had blocked him again, the first casualty was his phone.
It was directly smashed onto the door by him.
Then he got up and went crazy, sweeping everything on the table onto the floor.
In the office, anything that could be smashed did not escape unscathed.
Finally, Judson threw away the chair in his hand and walked over to open the door.
To Keenan, who stood outside with clenched jaws, he calmly said, “Call someone to clean up.”
The howling wind blew in from outside, making Keenan’s breath quicken instantly.
He saw that the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall in the office was
missing one side.

The ground was covered with shattered tempered glass beads, gleaming with dazzling light.
Keenan turned around to look at Judson.
Judson walked towards the elevator with steady and decisive steps, showing no trace of any violent behavior.
After venting, he closed himself off again and returned to being the calm and rational man.

Isidro was disoriented and was driven out of the residential area by the property security guard.
He squatted by the side of the road, looking dejected.
Until Judson’s car stopped beside him…
The car window rolled down, and Judson’s first words were met with a
blow to the head.
“Did you go to look for her?”
“Did you tell her that I did a lot of things for her?”
“Did she kick you out?”
Isidro… felt like his heart was about to stop.
But unexpectedly, Judson did not get angry.
12:21
“Get in,” he called to him, driving his own car without a driver.
“Don’t look for her anymore,” Judson said in a calm tone after Isidro nervously got into the car, “We have already broken up, she has no connection with me or the Roach family anymore.”
To be honest, Isidro was shocked.
Although Mr. Roach had indeed disliked Rose over the years, Rose was also like an indelible tattoo, firmly etched on Mr. Roach’s body, impossible to remove no matter what…
He thought that Mr. Roach might marry other women in the future, such as Ms. Stewart.
But he never thought that Rose would really leave him.
I saw Isidro without any sound.
Judson suddenly turned his head and freed one hand to grab Isidro’s shoulder, fiercely interrogating him, “Did you hear me? Answer!”
Isidro hadn’t spoken yet when suddenly he saw a dazzling light flash by.
“Judson…”
Boom!
The whole world turned upside down in an instant.
At that moment, Isidro felt like his entire brain had been shaken out of
his skull.

Because Rose was eager to show Maverick the first draft, she set an early alarm for herself.
Maverick said that he was getting old and had to wake up at 6:30 in the morning to exercise.
But what Rose didn’t expect was that it wasn’t the alarm clock that woke her up, but rather a phone call from the hospital.
It was a call from Jenifer’s attending physician.
Rose startled and sat up.
But when she answered the phone, she heard Isidro’s lingering voice on the other end.
“Ms. Edwards, please come quickly. Mr. Roach is not doing well, so b…” he cried like a fool, “Mr. Roach doesn’t even recognize people anymore… He kept calling for you, calling your name…”
”
“What are you saying?” Rose’s head was buzzing from his crying.
She was still caught up in Jennifer’s affairs and couldn’t focus on anything else for a while.
Isidro was incoherent.
“In the early morning, a large truck entered the city. The police said both drivers were fatigued, and we were hit… The front of the car was completely smashed, luckily the car held up… But Mr. Roach didn’t make it, I’m fine though, just a minor concussion. I can’t believe I’m okay, s ob… Why wasn’t it me who died?”
Rose slowly felt cold sweat crawling up from her waist.
“I…”
She felt her throat was a little blocked.
“Rose,” Isidro gritted his teeth on the other end, “If you dare not come over, I will kick Jenifer out of the hospital! After all, I have been by Mr. Roach’s side for so many years, and you are really so heartless…”
Rose: “Shut up!”
She hung up the phone and casually put on a piece of clothing before leaving.
On the way to the hospital, she called Mrs. Roach, but couldn’t get through.
Mrs. Roach used to turn off her phone when she slept, maybe things weren’t as serious as Isidro said.
But when Rose arrived at the hospital, she happened to run into Mrs. Roach.
Not only she, but also Judson’s dad was there.
Mrs. Roach’s face was pale, and Mr. Roach’s face was solemn.
Rose’s heart ski pped a beat, and her knees went weak for a moment.
