Chapter 258 Her Rival in Love
At this moment, the sound of high-heeled shoes came from the stair. Lina walked down slowly, holding the handrail of the stair, with elegant demeanor and outstanding disposition. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She had taken a bath, changed into a dress, the design of the dress perfectly showed her sexy and hot figure. Her long hair fell in front of her shoulder, making her look flirtatious.
"Brother Bright, Zoe is still a student. If you send her to prison, her future will be ruined. Would you really want to do that?" She stepped to the sofa in the living room and reached out to help Zoe who knelt on the ground.
However, Zoe did not dare to get up. Without Bright's forgiveness and approval, she really did not dare. If her brother said that he would send her to the police station, then he would.
She didn't want to go there. She didn't want to be locked up.
The confinement in this room for a week had driven her mad, and she had never longed so much for freedom, for the fresh air outside.
When Lina saw that Zoe did not get up, she had no choice but to loosen her grip and stand up straight.
She looked down at Bright sitting on the sofa. Even though he was shorter than her when she was sitting, she felt that he had a strong aura, which made her feel stressful, though she was standing.
She took a deep breath and kept reminding herself to be calm and not to panic, otherwise she would be in a mess. "Brother Bright, look how scared Zoe is. Please ask her to stand up."
"When did I frighten her?" Bright tilted his head back slightly and looked at Lina's calm face.
Lina had no choice but to look at Doris, bent slightly, and smiled to her, "Doris, she is your aunt. You are a family. Do you want your family to have quarrels with each other? Comfort your dad not to be
angry."
Doris looked at Bright and tugged at his sleeve. "Daddy, don't be angry about me."
"I'm not angry." Bright reached out and touched her head.
"Doris, can you forgive your aunt? She really didn't mean that. Auntie knows you're the kindest. Your aunt has admitted she was wrong. It is not too late to know the mistake, isn't it?" Lina kept talking to Doris, hoping that Doris could forgive Zoe, which could leave Bright having no objection.
"Kindness is given to those who are also kind." Bright defended his daughter, saying, "She doesn't need to forgive someone who could have saved her but didn't!"
There was a knock on the door and the men in black saw the person on the videophone. "Mr. Lee, it's Mrs. Lee." he said.
"Why is she here?" Bright didn't tell Rose he was here.
When he took Doris away, he found the perfect reason to convince Rose, and the point was, how did she find here?
"Bright, I know you're in there. Open the door!" Rose's voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a knock.
Listening to the sound, and looking at the door, Lina had already wondered what Mrs. Lee was like!
How could she dare yell at Bright, and Bright didn't seem to care at all?
"Let her in." Since she could follow him, Bright had to let her in.
The men in black opened the door and Rose entered.
Rose wore a simple white T-shirt, a denim skirt, and a pair of white sneakers. With her bouffant hair curled up into a bun, she looked very young and beautiful.
She was simple, elegant, and pure. In a word, Rose gave people a very clean and comfortable feeling.
And she could easily attract the attention of others.
This was the first time Lina met Rose. Although Rose was not as charming and flirtatious as herself, she was as simple and natural as a fair lady.
She couldn't help but admit that Rose was really special. No wonder Bright was attracted by her.
Lina was unwilling to submit, so she looked at Rose with a hint of hostility in her eyes.
And Rose, of course, could feel the hostility. She knew that it must be someone who loved Mr. Lee, and she loved him passionately.
"Mom." Doris had run to Rose's slender legs, and hugged her.
Rose squatted down carefully, "You just recovered from the injury. Be careful and do not to run."
Doris really forgot the pain when her wound was cured. She stuck her tongue out in embarrassment.
Rose pinched her little cheek, then stood up and took her hand.
Bright walked over and said, "Go sit down."
He did not ask why Rose had come. After all, there were other people present and he did not want to argue with her.
Rose looked at Lina, and then said in a soft and sweet tone, "Darling, don't you want to introduce this beautiful lady?"
She knew Zoe, but Lina was a stranger to her. She was curious what her relationship with Bright and Zoe was.
Bright put his hand on Rose's shoulder and pulled her closer to him, "Honey, her name is Lina Kim. As I told you, the Lee family and the Kim family have been friends for generations. I have always regarded her as a sister like Zoe since we were kids."
This apparently reassured her by explaining that he and Lina were just like brother and sister.
"Lina, this is my wife Rose. If you call me brother, you can call her sister-in-law."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Kim." Rose greeted her with a smile.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Rose." Lina couldn't call her sister-in-law. She didn't even want to call Mrs. Lee.
Lina then picked Zoe up again, and this time Zoe got up and sat down on the sofa.
She put up her hand and wiped away tears on her face so Rose wouldn't see it.
"What's wrong with Zoe? Who bullied you?" Rose asked.
"No... It's all right." Zoe rarely replied Rose.
Rose looked at Bright and put her hand on his arm to declare her ownership of Bright. "Honey, you are Zoe's brother. How could you not care about it?"
"I am the one who bullied her." Bright said.
"What do you mean?" Rose's eyes flashed with shock.
"Zoe, tell it yourself." Bright took Rose's hand and took her to the sofa and sat down.
Zoe had no choice but to confess, "Rose, I'm... I'm sorry. It's my fault. It's my fault that Doris got hurt..."
Zoe told Rose the whole story again. Rose's face grew more and more sulky as she listened to the story. Her heart ached and she pressed her lips crying when hearing Zoe's explanation.
"Sister-in-law, please don't let my brother send me to the police station, please. I know I was wrong..." She begged Rose again and again.
She knew that Bright cared about Rose and that what she said would carry more weight.
