Amidst the chaos, Roor suddenly said, “Wait The room fell into silence Everyone turned to her, including Howard. She lifted her head toward Howard’s location and asked, “Y–You’re not Hendrix. Are you Mr. Flyen!

Rosie pressed on, asking “Who are you exactly?”
Leh with no choice. Howard pressed his lips together and nodded. “Yes. I’m Howard”
Rosie felt a cold chill creep up the back of her neck. She opened her meth, but no words came out “Y-You
Suddenly, Daniel burst into laughter. “Howard, it turned out you deceived my wifer
Then, he turned to Roue. “Rosie, this man didn’t even dare to tell you his real identity. He’s just toying with you. Once he’s tired of you, hell dump- you. Rosie, come with me. Let’s go home-
“Shut up Howard glared at Daniel his gaze icy. “It’s none of your business what’s going on between us”
Daniel ignored Howard and shouted to Rosie, “Rosie, I treated you badly before, making you sad. That’s why he managed to fool you with his sweet talk to all my fault. Please come home with me. I promise I’ll treat you well in the future”
“Shur up” Amidst the commotion, Rosie covered her eyes which were in pain with her hands
“Roue! Howard immediately noticed it. He turned to the security guards and snapped. “What are you waiting for? Get him out”
Understood, Mr. Flynn!” The security guards tightened their grip on Daniel, dragging him out of the ward.
Even as Daniel was pulled away, he kept shouting. “Rosie, don’t be fooled! Think about it. Howard can get his never fall for someone like you! He hid his identity because he never intended to take you seriously!”

Howard, unable to bear it any longer, slammed the door shut with a loud bang. After that, he turned to Rosie. “Rosie-
“Stay away from me Rosie instantly raised her arms defensively, subconsciously backing away two steps.
“Rose” Howard stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed. “I was wrong to hide my identity from you. But I never intended to deceive you,” he explained
Rosie’s mind was racing. She had no idea why Howard would be interested in her. Then what’s your motive! Why would someone like you.” She covered her eyes again.
“Rosie.” Howard wanted to steady her, but she flinched back as if sensing his touch as she shook her head repeatedly,
“Please, could you leave me alone?” she pleaded.
Howard trove, his heart sinking. He remained silent for a moment, then nodded. “Okay, I’ll leave. You get some rest.”
Howard turned and kept looking back as he walked out. Outside the ward, Sienna was waiting there. She hadn’t had a chance to intervene during the previous situation.
Sienna called out worriedly after seeing Howard’s grim expression. “Howard, did you two argue?”
Howard forced a smile. “You were right. Because I didn’t tell her the truth myself, things have ended in the worst way possible.”
Sienna didn’t know what to say,
“You should go in. Let me know if anything happens.” Howard said, glancing at the ward
“Olay, Howard I will. Sienna nodded and entered the ward Inside, Russe was fumbling her way back onto the hospital bed.

Chapter 399
“Rosie Sienna approached, helping her lie down. She studied Rosie’s perplexion and inquired, “How are you feeling?”
Rosie paused, then smiled faintly. Tm fine, just a bit jumbled up here. She pointed to her temple, then tilted her head toward Sienna. “You knew. didn’t you!”
“Yes” Sienna nodded and apologized, “I’m sorry, Rosie, Although it was Howard’s request, I did help him keep it from you”
Rosie shook her head. “I don’t blame you. I know he’s someone important to you. I just don’t understand what exactly Mr. Flynn wants.” She took Sienna’s hand and continued, “Isn’t Howard in a relationship with Yvette!”
Sienna patted Rosie’s hand and explained. “They used to be. But they broke up a while ago. If that weren’t the case. I wouldn’t have agreed to help Howard hide the truth from you
“Broke up!” Rosie was astonished. It was shocking news to her. “Haven’t they been together for over a decade? They were so in love. Why did they break up?”
Sienna shook her head, “I don’t know. Love can be complicated, so I didn’t ask Howard about it in detail. But I can be sure that they have indeed broken up. That was why Yvette had turned around and confessed her feelings to Josiah instead,
Rosie had countless questions in her mind. “Why would Mr. Flynn treat me differently?” After all, she was a married woman with a bad reputation. In terms of looks, she wasn’t exactly stunning either.
Sienna was surprised. “Rosie, when you like someone, those things don’t matter.”
Rosie chuckled and shook her head. “No, that’s not it. I’ve been loved before. I know what it feels like to be cherished.”
She continued. “Whether he’s playing Hendrix or himself, he’s treated me well. He seems to like me, but he doesn’t make me feel loved. Do you understand?”
“Mr. Flynn doesn’t like me.” Rosie was certain. She couldn’t fathom why he was so kind to her, even going so far as to hide his identity. “Could it be that Daniel was correct after all!‘ she wondered.
It had been a while since Josiah last went to Maze, yet nothing seemed to have changed. The stage in the center of the hall was still the main event of the day.
Thomas swirled the glass in his hand and glanced at the stage, sighing “It’s not even close to Sienna’s level.
Yosef clicked his tongue. Then, he frowned and glared at Thomas. “If you don’t know what to say, them, and Thomas dared to bring up Sienna.
v, keep your mouth sh
shut.” Josiah was right beside
Josiah leaned back against the couch, seemingly indifferent. “She’s not that bad. She’s dancing quite well.”
When Yosef heard that, he interjected. “She’s not the most popular one. The star performer hasn’t appeared yet. Their new star performer is also quite popular.”
As the three of them were talking, a slender figure hurried over. “Greetings, Yosef, Thomas, and Josiah, Cedric greeted them one by one, loosening his tie knot and finding a seat. He looked travel–worn and slightly tired.
