Rose waited anxiously for Liam to call her with the answer she from him. When Liam finally did he remained silent for a few minutes before finally speaking.
"The video was sent from your email," he replied softly. "I am sorry I did not give this issue the priority it deserves because I thought it was only about your sister but I just discovered it was targeted at making you the culprit."
Rose remained silent unsure of what to say because she knew this issue was not a joke in any way. Liam was saying the truth and that ans Anna and her foster parents knew about it. "Who do you think did it?" Rose asked in a tired weak voice.
"I thinkthe teacher did it. He wants to find a way to destroy the sisterhood between you sisters and his biggest aim is to make your sister alone and lonely. He is trying to take everyone from her and make her rely on him alone and I think he did a very good job," Liam replied worried about Rose.
"I see. I guess there is no way I will be able to persuade Anna with the truth. She won't believe . We have not been in good terms for a while now and that is possibly a good reason why I will do such a thing to her. No one will believe otherwise. I don't know what to feel right now," Rose told him tiredly. She was not even considering giving anyone an explanation.
"Rose are you okay?" Liam asked unable to hold back this question any longer.
"I am okay. I just . . ." Rose began but stopped when the door flew open and Anna walked in with her face stained with tears and her eyes staring daggers at Rose as soon as she noticed Rose where she sat. Rose could not hold back the helpless smile that lifted the corner of her lips.
"Are you . . ." Liam began to ask but he was cut off when Rose hung up. Without wasting ti, he called one of the people he placed in the Whitfred family to go check on Rose and ensure she was okay while he picked his jacket and walked out of his office.
He scolded himself over and over for not noticing the seriousness of the whole thing when Rose called him. However, he felt it was good that he called Rose before soone else cos to her.
Rose stood up when Anna walked to her. "I know what you heard but I did not do it," Rose began explaining despite how she told herself to try not to persuade anyone in a pathetic manner.
"What do you think I heard? Give your phone, I want to check your email," Anna said stretching one of her hand to Rose while the other did a good job of cleaning the tears off her face.
"I . . .," Rose began while giving the phone to Anna. She prayed that Liam deleted the ssage from her email.
"This is it. I hoped you deleted the video so that I will have a little hope that you did not do it but I can see the sent ssage and the video saved on your phone," Anna said feeling both betrayed and disappointed.
Rose found it very ridiculous. The person who did it was very smart and he did a good job of arranging the set to match his script. She chuckled at the situation despite how much she did not find funny at all.
"You actually think this funny, right? You ruined my life. You ruined the plan I made for my life. You even called jealous when you were the person dying of jealousy. You were so jealous of that you decided to destroy , right?"
"I am not jealous of you at all," Rose corrected her foster sister. "I have never been jealous of you and I did not send the video soone else did."
Rose knew it was useless to try to explain because she could easily see the look of hurt and pain in her foster sister's eyes and she knew she was set on believing Rose sent the video.
She tried to explain because she did not want it to be as though she kept the truth without trying to clarify it at all and to avoid future regret.
"How do you expect to believe when you have all these to confirm that you sent the video to them. If you did not do it out of jealousy then does that an you an the words you left? What do you an my being a bad luck and a calamity child?"
This was getting more ridiculous. Rose found it very stupid of the person to have left such childish words. She was not childish enough to write such a thing like calamity child about her foster sister.
The person obviously did not know that if she actually sent the video she will send sothing better and logical or she might not even bother to send any word with the video aside from the apart from the identity of her sister.
"How dare you also tell them about the Coleman that we are supposed to keep to ourselves. Don't you know I am well-known? Such a video going viral will simply destroy my reputation on the internet and affect dad too. What if they say our family is the one doing the killing?"
Anna did not believe that Rose will do what she did without a reason. Rose remained silent not bothering to correct her sister since she had done it repeatedly.
"Answer ," Anna demanded very angrily.
"I am sorry but I don't think they will suspect our family since you and I were also victims," Rose gave her an answer to the only question she felt like answering to prevent her sister from getting angrier because she remained quiet.
Anna glared at her sister. Based on her personality, she wanted to do more than just stare. She wanted to grab a fistful of her sister's hair and tug it until each strand of hair pull from her scalp but she held herself by repeatedly reminding herself if how strong Rose was on the mat and she mostly likely beat her up instead.
If she does not get beaten up by Rose then perhaps she might end up as a murderer considering Rose's health status.
"I really did not do any of that, okay?" Rose said.
"Could you stop lying and give a reason why you did that. I thought were sisters. I cherished every single thing that happened between us. I was so lonely before you ca and I made my enemy my sister and friend. I always trusted you. I trusted you more than I have trusted anyone in my life then why? Why did you ruin my life? Why did you do that to ? Why?!"
Rose watched Anna break down in tears before her as her eyes also began filled with tears that she could not hold back as the flowed down her cheeks. She also cherished it all. She loved her sister. Anna was the brightness she found in her very unhappy life.
If she had not t Anna and her friends in this life, perhaps she would have lived a quiet sad and lonely life unable to trust anyone at all but Anna and her friends showed her that she could actually live a normal life.
"What is happening here?" Valerie asked when she walked in on her favorite adopted daughter squatting on the floor as she cried painfully. She glanced at Rose before going to Anna and lifted her up.
"She ruined ," Anna cried glaring at Rose despite the tears that flowed down her cheeks. "I trusted her but she betrayed . She sent the video to the university."
"I know. That was what I ca to find out. Why did you do it, Rose? After all my husband made available for you. We thought you were nice and well behaved. All these still makes feel surprised. I find it hard to believe but the evidence is enough," Valerie said unhappily.
"I really did not do it," Rose corrected her foster mother as she mopped off her tears while repeatedly telling herself on her mind to stop crying.
"You should be begging for forgiveness," Justin said angrily as soon as he walked into the room. "You should be giving us an answer and an apology not trying to deny it." Justin could not believe that the girl he thought was well behaved turned out to be the devil.
"We brought you into this family to be a part of us but you betrayed one of us. I don't think you can continue to stay since we don't know what you might do next," Valerie suddenly said firmly.
Rose was surprised as she looked at them in astonishnt. She could not believe what she just heard.
"We want you to leave after all you would have been given your freedom if you were in an orphanage."
