Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 663 General Perry's Fury

"Belle came forward, took a bow, and brought General Perry before the memorial tablet."

"General Perry placed the flowers before bowing sincerely three times towards Sophia's portrait. Then, he retreated to one side with Hudson."

"Rosa had heard that General Perry was coming, and had hidden herself somewhere with the excuse that she had to deal with something."

"As a result, General Perry didn't see his daughter Rosa despite having waited in the Ink Garden for the whole afternoon. Displeasure was written all over his dark face."

"When the sun set, he remained standing in the back garden of Ink Garden with both hands clutching a newspaper behind his back. He was in a dark mood."

"The funeral hymns in the mourning hall echoed from time to time, causing his mood to be clouded with worry."

"His daughter, Rosa, was 26 years old. A few years ago, she broke off the engagement with Martin Harvey, and her reputation had been tainted because of what Martin did. As for the well-known bachelors in Capital City, they had already married. There weren't many men left. As for those who were qualified, he assumed that they wouldn't like his daughter. Hence, the matter of Rosa's marriage had been a headache for him for the past few years."

"Nice to meet you, General. Just as General Perry was lost in thought, a young man's voice sounded in his ear. When he raised his head, Sergio's young and handsome face appeared in front of him." He was a little stunned.

"After a short while, he understood."

"Hi, Sergio. He chuckled slightly."

"General, my condolences to you about Sophia passing away. Seeing him standing there with his eyebrows knitted, Sergio comforted him in a soft voice, thinking that he was reminiscing about Sophia." Well. General Perry's eyebrows twitched but he didn't say anything.

"Sergio thought of something, and his face darkened."

General Perry had abstained from voting at the most critical moment of their election. Why had he done that? Did he know something?

"Sergio, is your father alright? General Perry asked casually."

Sergio's heart moved slightly. He could only nod his head and pretended to be courteous. "He's good."

It's the last day of the election tomorrow. Are you planning to stay here? General Perry asked with a faint smile.

"Sergio originally wanted to talk about Rosa, but he didn't expect General Perry to avoid mentioning her at all. He was worried when General Perry asked about the election instead. He didn't know if General Perry had already known about his family's failure. So, he just said a few words in a hurry and left."

General Perry looked at his retreating back and shook his head regretfully.

"Aunt MLexie, come this way. Be careful. That tile has gotten loose. The housekeeper should have sent someone to repair it a long time ago. What if someone trips over it? Carmella was carefully helping MLexie towards the general's direction."

"Well, Carmella, you're right. The housekeeper only knows how to please Belle. That's all he does. The situation in Ink Garden is already considered alright. Wait till you see Emerald Garden. There are so many holes in that place. Maud hasn't gone there all year round. Even though we reported this issue several times, nothing happened. After a long time, we decided to leave it be, MLexie complained." "Carmella smiled. ""Don't worry, Aunt MLexie. Once Martin gets married, he'll have some of the power. At that time, you'll be in charge. You'll be able to fix it however you like. Don't worry, I'll make arrangements according to your wishes when the time comes.""""

"When MLexie heard this, a wide smile appeared on her face. She instantly praised Carmella for being so obedient. Carmella smiled as her face became red. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the mourning hall."

"There was a stone in MLexie's chest after staying in the mourning hall for too long. Furthermore, she had nothing to do with these matters. So, she had nothing to do. Carmella was watching the situation from the sidelines. When she saw how uncomfortable MLexie was, she took the initiative to take a walk outside with her."

"General Perry stood under a tree, staring at MLexie and Carmella as they walked and chatted together."

"Rosa, your father is here. Aren't you going to meet him? Martin came over and spoke to Rosa."

"During these two days, he had been responsible for receiving guests and running errands, while she had been responsible for gifts and the memorial service. Every decision was made by Martin." "The two of them cooperated very well. With Rosa by his side, Martin did not feel very tired. Furthermore, he could chat with her from time to time. It made him feel content."

Rosa focused on sorting out the expenses at the hotel for the day. She completely ignored Martin.

"Martin had long mastered a set of techniques to amuse Rosa. That was to stick with her regardless of what she thought of him. If Rosa ignored him, then he would find another way to deal with her." "Rosa, it's rare for your father to come to Harvey Manor. You should ask him to stay for a few days. After I'm done with work here, we can bring your father to the beach. Martin placed his head on his elbow and leaned towards Rosa. He looked at her meaningfully."

"As soon as Rosa looked up, she saw his sparkling eyes, and she couldn't help but to blush."

"Grandma's been gone for less than a day, and you're chatting about having fun at the beach. Is that appropriate? She glared at him and rebuked."

"Martin looked at her haggard face after days of work. His heart ached. He couldn't help but to touch her face and said, """Rosa, don't stay up tonight. Go to bed Tristany. Leave everything to me."

"Move your filthy hand. Rosa reached out and hit his hand. Martin took the opportunity to hold her hand and said softly, ""Rosa, my heart aches when I see you so tired."""""

He said with affection written all over his face.

He held Rosa's hand so tightly that she couldn't move it. She was so angry that her face turned red.

"Just as the two were struggling, they heard a cold snort."

Both of them were taken aback and looked up. General Perry was standing behind them with a stern face.

Dad.

General.

"The two of them cried out at the same time, blushing. Martin quickly let go of Rosa's hand and hurried out."

General Perry's eyes were dark and his face was gloomy.

"Dad, I didn't know you came. As soon as Martin left, Rosa smiled and tried to lie."

"General Perry said discontentedly with a snort, """Looks like someone's grown up now and learnt to ignore their parents.

"Rosa replied with an awkward smile, """Dad, please have a seat. I'll get you a cup of Green Mountain Lake tea, your favourite."""""

"In order to avoid the questions from General Perry, she lowered her head and attempted to slip away as she said this."

General Perry seemed to have read her mind and instructed her. "Come back."

Rosa stopped in her tracks immediately.

It seems like you're enjoying your stay at Harvey Manor. You work harder than when you are at your own home. General Perry looked at the computer and the receipts on the desk. He said this with a mocking

tone.

"Rosa's face reddened before she said, """Dad, the Harvey family is having a tough time. I just want to help."

Is it really as simple as just wanting to help? General Perry's eyes sharpened as he questioned.

"Rosa raised her head in panic. ""Dad, I just want to help them. After all, Sophia treated me so well. Plus, I used to come here when I was a child."""""

"Rosa hurriedly defended herself. General Perry stared at her, and his face darkened."

"He had been watching when she and Martin were tugging at each other when he entered the manor. Others might not know, but he knew his daughter. She hadn't been seen for the entire summer break. She was staying here instead. It wasn't her usual style. Thus, he was very clear about what she was thinking."

"Then, when are you coming home? He took two steps forward and asked."

"Dad, I'm studying fashion design now, and I'm looking for inspiration. After Sophia's funeral, I planned to travel around Europe. I'll go home during the new year, Rosa replied."

"You're being ridiculous. Hearing this, General Perry could not help but to berate her angrily. ""You are an adult. Have you ever thought of the consequences of staying in someone else's house as a woman? This will lead to the outside world's speculation. You haven't even called. You are not young anymore. Didn't you think about your own reputation? Wouldn't this do more harm than good?"""""

"Hearing this, Rosa defended herself. ""Dad, I'm just helping Belle and the Harvey family as best as I can. How would this damage my reputation? Besides, I don't want to marry Sergio. Quit forcing me to go back."""""

"Rosa just thought that General Perry wanted her to marry Sergio. However, his face darkened even more. He threw the newspaper on the desk in front of her and shouted angrily, """You're so disappointing. Take a look at it.""""""

"What is this? Rosa raised her head in shock. Seeing General Perry's angry face, she quickly picked up the newspaper and looked at it. It was written in a more prominent place.""In Sophia's funeral ceremony we have been observing a prominent figure, Rosa, who is Sergio's fiancée. She has been busy working for the Harvey family, such as managing Sophia's funeral ceremony. Her enthusiasm is really touching. However, her relationship with her ex-fiancé, Martin, has also aroused people's suspicion."""

"Rosa didn't want to see it. At first glance, she felt anger rushing to her head. Her sight went black, and she almost fainted."

"The media was absolutely disgusting. What did her stay with the Harvey family have to do with them? Moreover, they were even splashing her engagement with Sergio in the headlines. It was ridiculous considering that she and Sergio had never been officially matched together. If they reported it in that manner, then of course it would taint her reputation."

"That was way over the line! She used to stay in the Harvey family's house like this too. At that time, there had been no media gossiping about her. It was so infuriating!"

Now you know how powerful he is. Come back to Capital City immediately. General Perry snorted and ordered in a cold tone.

"Rosa's eyes were red with tears. """Dad, even if I go back, I'm not marrying Sergio.""""

"Then, who do you want to marry? Martin Harvey? General Perry asked angrily, his eyes sharp."

"Rosa said through gritted teeth, ""I didn't think that.""""""

"You didn't think so before? You're right. General Perry raised an eyebrow. ""'I know what you're thinking. You stayed in the Harvey Manor using the excuse that you were only helping out. With such a lousy excuse, who would believe that? Look, even the media doesn't believe you. How can I be assured of your ability to handle this? Martin has humiliated you enough. Do you still insist on staying here and keeping up with this? Get rid of this ridiculous idea! I won't agree to you marrying Martin. A woman must cherish her reputation. Martin had an affair with someone. Do you want to be his mistress? If you continue to ruin the family's reputation, then I'll have to forbid you from entering our home.'''''

General Perry said sternly and left after a flick of his sleeves.
