Chapter 1056 - She Is Not My Half-Sister (1/2)

”I feel unwell,” said Rose to Rune. Her voice was barely audible. ”Can you take me home?”

Her face paled and her body staggered. Rune quickly held her shoulder and supported her body. The man's face was filled with worry.

”Oh, no... do you need anything? A drink?” He asked Rose.

The girl shook her head. ”No. Just... take me home, please...”

”Okay.” Rune waved at Jan and Terry. ”Rose is unwell. I will go home with her now. Can you go back on your own?”

”Yes, sure,” said Terry calmly. He turned to Jan. ”We have Jan here. I am sure we can get a ride from him.”

”That's right,” said Jan in confirmation. ”You can just take Her Grace home. I will handle everything here.”

”Thank you, Jan. I know I can rely on you.”  Rune turned to Rose and smiled dotingly at her. ”I will carry you because you look very pale. Will that be all right?”

The girl nodded. Her vision was blurry and she didn't care about their surroundings anymore. ”Please.. just take me away from here.”

From her voice, Rune could conclude that Rose was feeling sad by Leon's treatment earlier. Her resolve to look okay during Leon's wedding wavered because of their conversation earlier.

Somehow, Rune could understand what Rose was thinking.

Leon didn't care enough about her to set Anne and her friends straight.

However, when Rune asked Leon to make his wife apologize publicly for her treatment toward Anne by threatening him with dissuading the Schneider Group and other investors not to invest in Medion, Leon seemed to relent.

This meant, the investment was worth more than Rose's feelings to him.

This was the final nail in the coffin. Finally, Rose could not take it anymore. She didn't want to stay at the wedding for much longer.

Rose had sacrificed so much to save their family's face and Leon's reputation, and now she had come to a point that she had had enough.

Rune lifted Rose and carried her in his arms. The girl automatically wrapped her hands around the man's neck and closed her eyes.

”Let's get out of here,” whispered Rune.

He walked gently with Rose in his arms, not caring what other people would think of them. He actually wanted to stay longer so he could see whether Leon would really make his wife apologize to Rose publicly or not.

However, that didn't matter now. What's important was he already got his message across. Leon now knew who Rose was involved with.

Today, Rune felt grateful for his background. Even though for him, wealth and power didn't mean anything, but they did to other people.

So, with his family background, Rune could elevate his value as a man who was in love with Rose. If he was just a regular man from the middle class, Leon might think Rose was downgrading her dating game.

However, since she was dating Rune Schneider, Rose was obviously going for an upgrade. This felt so satisfying on so many levels.

”Where are they going?” Lisa asked Sarah who was standing beside her, watching Rune walked with Rose in her arms. ”Is she sick?”

”Tch.. I think she is just whoring for attention,” said Sarah, rolling her eyes. ”It's obvious that she wants to steal the spotlight from the bride. So shameless.”

Leon who was standing close to them couldn't help but overhear their conversation. His ear immediately turned red and his c.h.e.s.t was filled with anger.

He could understand why Anne treated Rose that way. It was because she was feeling insecure, thinking Leon was still in love with Rose, which, even if it was true, shouldn't mean anything because... Anne and Leon were already married.

However, Leon couldn't justify the hatred on Sarah and Lisa's part. They didn't have any personal issues with Rose. They were not married to Leon.

In fact, they were actually long-time acquaintances with Rose. They all went to school together.
