Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 708 - 709
Chapter 708: Chapter 709
"You could ask Uncle Bard," Rosemary said with a mischievous smile, not revealing anything directly.
Previously, due to a mix-up, Jack had been detained by Uncle Bard’s men—only for them to later find out she was the big boss of Mafia Flame.
"You’re making me even more curious now," Eunice chuckled as she whipped out her smartphone and shot off a text to her husband. Then she asked, "You even know about The Doom? Did they give you trouble before?"
As far as she knew, The Doom was a force to be reckoned with, yet her niece seemed to handle them quite well, not letting them get the upper hand. Quite impressive!
"As far as I’m informed, there’s still a faction of their remnants scattered around Dawnstar. Leave it to me. I’ll make sure they all come out of hiding—not a single one spared."
"Those small fry pose no threat to me, Aunt Eunice, no need to trouble yourself."
Without their main pillar, Rosemary wasn’t worried about those small factions.
"But these people are like flies, buzzing around and disturbing your life now and then. I know you’re tough and won’t let them take an inch, but it’s annoying over time. Let’s just have Aunt Eunice take care of it once and for all—no refusals!"
Eunice sent another message, instructing her people to team up with those from Bard’s side and uproot those remnants once and for all.
"Thanks, Aunt Eunice."
"Silly girl, no need for thanks with family," Eunice said fondly as she patted her head.
In the living room:
Belinda took a gift from May’s hands and lovingly passed it to Serena.
"I heard from your grandfather that you won first place in the piano competition. This is a little something from me."
"And I’ve got something for you too!" Darren added quickly, instructing the house staff to fetch his gift.
Serena opened Belinda’s gift to find a lavish diamond bracelet, and then Darren’s present—a platinum diamond pendant.
The value of the two gifts combined was at least $100,000!
She was over the moon.
"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa! I knew you loved me the most!"
Seeing Serena so happy, Eunice’s voice—filled with excitement and joy—broke into their conversation.
"Mom!"
Belinda looked up and saw her beloved daughter-in-law!
When she had heard about her falling off a cliff, Belinda cried for a whole month, losing nearly six pounds. She even visited the church to pray, hoping her daughter-in-law would be alive.
And as if the prayer worked, here she was—standing alive and even more beautiful than before—running towards her.
Belinda’s eyes welled up with tears.
"Eunice!"
"Mom!" Eunice, shedding her ruthless demeanor from the basement, transformed into a sweet little girl and threw herself into Belinda’s arms, exclaiming, "Mom, I missed you so much!"
Her tone was filled with a girl’s coyness, and Belinda, as always, was a sucker for it—loving her as if she were her own daughter.
"Mom, I’ve missed you too. Seeing you safe and sound before me fills me with joy. It’s good to have you back, that’s all that matters."
"Mom, it was my fault for worrying you before," Eunice said as she reached out to wipe away Belinda’s tears. "I was investigating the whole Calvin and Arlen situation and didn’t dare reveal that I was alive. I feared tipping off our enemies. Rest assured, I was well taken care of by Alexander. Nothing happened, and he didn’t take advantage of me in the slightest."
Not like the rumors that were swirling about her virtue being compromised.
"Silly child, what are you talking about! As long as you’re alive—even if you were missing an arm or a leg—our Griffith family would still embrace you!"
Belinda caught herself, realizing her words might have come off wrong, and quickly corrected,
"Tut-tut-tut, what I mean is, no matter what happens, you will always be a part of the Griffith family. We will never abandon you, no matter the circumstance."
"Thanks, Mom," Eunice said, moved, as she snuggled closer into her arms.
Rosemary noticed the contrast in her aunt’s demeanor and found the change from strong-willed woman to this gentle figure quite endearing.
However, Serena didn’t share the sentiment. She had been enjoying a warm moment with her grandparents just before her aunt’s arrival shifted the attention—leaving her feeling sidelined.
"If it hadn’t been for you, we wouldn’t have known that Calvin, Arlen, and those heartless cousins of yours were up to such despicable acts behind our backs!"
Belinda was so furious when she heard the news that she felt her blood boiling. Luckily, Rosemary had left some medicine with May before she left, which saved Belinda from a potential stroke.
"It’s all thanks to Rose. If it weren’t for her being with me that night, I couldn’t have handled it alone."
Eunice recounted the events of that night succinctly. When Belinda learned that Rosemary could hack into phones, dismantle surveillance without detection, knock out security guards, and was an exceptional medic who could preemptively counteract drugs slipped into their drinks...
"Exactly! If it weren’t for Rose, we wouldn’t have realized that the dangers we faced in the past were all orchestrated by them!" Darren chimed in.
He had kept quiet about this before, seeing how his wife almost fainted from rage.
He and his wife had run into various accidents during their trips. But now it turned out to be man-made accidents.
"To think, the things even your uncle couldn’t uncover—you managed to trace back and find the evidence," Belinda said incredulously, patting Rosemary’s head with admiration.
"You’ve amazed me time and again, dear. You’re outstanding!"
As the atmosphere grew warmer, Eunice steered the conversation back.
"Oh, Mom, you mentioned that Serena won first place in a piano competition. I caught a glimpse of you and Dad rewarding her for it."
"Yes, yes, yes," Belinda suddenly remembered her granddaughter who had been momentarily forgotten and gestured for Serena to come over.
"This child won first place in a national competition."
Eunice smiled.
"So, what did you two reward her with?"
Serena, seeing the topic finally shift back to her, beamed with a sweet smile, enthusiastically sharing the details of her prize with her aunt—even boasting a bit in front of Rosemary.
"But you two might be playing favorites. Rose’s credentials outrank those competition judges. Guess who she is?"
Serena’s face paled slightly—blindsided by her aunt’s sudden advocacy for Rosemary’s recognition.
Was this an intentional move to overshadow her own achievements?
"Higher than a competition judge?" Belinda and Darren were both surprised, guessing several times but not arriving at the right answer.
