Rose really could not listen to things any longer. She could tell that no matter how many things James did to disappoint the third lady, the third lady would never leave him. "Another unhappy couple!" Rose exclaimed.

She wanted to go over to comfort the third wife, but Josephine held her hand all of a sudden and blinked a then

Rose came back to her senses immediately. Josephine wanted her to take the opportunity to leave here and go to Fragrant Vessel Court to search for the answer she wanted. As such, the two sneaked off.

Jay's gaze inadvertently caught the backs of the two little women sneaking away. His eyes darkened.

"Sis Angeline, I completely betrayed my brother for you." Josephine was a little sad when she said this.

Rose did not want her to feel bad and threw her hands. "Josephine, your brother doesn't dislike you.

You don't have to go through the muddy waters with me. Why don't you go back?"

Josephine then patted her chest loyally and said sharply, "That won't do. You helped me fight the gangsters regardless of your own safety that night.

I've already decided. I'll stand by you for the rest of my life, forever and unconditionally treating you well."

"Josephine, thank you," the other woman said, moved.

"Why are you so courteous with me? You have so much trust in me and saved me from danger. You also betrayed your brother for me. Misery loves company, after all. We can sympathize with one another. From now on, we're grasshoppers on the same rope. There'll be no secrets between us."

The two came to Fragrant Vessel Court secretly.

The garden gates of Fragrant Vessel Court were opened, so Josephine happily said, "My brother was coming back tonight, so the garden gates have been opened. Come with me."

Rose followed Josephine and sneaked into the vestibule garden inside Fragrant Vessel Court.

It was just that the door to Fragrant Vessel Court was closed. It took a lot of effort to enter the house.

Rose stared at the attic on the second floor. "That's the room."

The other woman said, "If you can't enter through the door, try opening the window."

Both women circled Fragrant Vessel Court, their efforts finally paying off. They found a hanging ladder in the back garden.

The two of them put the ladder to the window of the attic. Rose climbed up the hanging ladder first while

Josephine supported the hanging ladder below.

"What are you doing?"

A malicious voice sounded.

Josephine was so scared that she knelt on the ground with her legs trembling. As the hanging ladder shook, Rose fell from a height above.

Immediately, Jay strode forward and caught Rose. The two fell to the ground together.

Although the grass was soft, there were many thorny vines under the windows.

Jay protected Rose in his arms, but the thorny vines had pierced his arm until there was some blood.

"Are you okay?" Although he was wounded and exhausted, he could only think of Rose.

"I'm fine!" Rose said with a guilty conscience.

The two got up. Jay looked at the high window with a gloomy expression. "What are you doing?"

Josephine was most afraid of Jay, and usually, her mind was sharp. Facing Jay now, her mind was muddled instead.

Rose was the opposite. She usually looked like a dull, timid person, but at this critical moment, she was in a panic and said, "I was in a hurry and wanted to go to the toilet-"

Jay looked at her speechlessly. "I don't want to hear this foolish excuse for the third time."

Rose only then remembered that she had indeed used this excuse many times before.
