Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1948 Heartache

When Rosalie was about to depart, her elder sister Tanya Tilan came out to send her. Tanya could not help but give her advice repeatedly. Feeling annoyed, Rosalie got into the car and exclaimed, “Start driving!”

Upon hearing that, Rosalie’s bodyguard Samson, the driver on duty today, stuttered, “I’m sorry, Ms. Rosalie. W-We still have to wait for Ms. Melinda and Ms. Shannon. They’ll be going to school today too.”

Rosalie’s expression turned grim when she heard what he said. She turned her attention outside to where another bodyguard was on his motorbike. A few minutes later, the willful third daughter of the Tilan family lifted her skirt, got up on the bike, and steadied herself. “Let’s go, Theo!”

“Yes, Miss.”

No one dared to stop her. After the man acknowledged her order, he revved the engine and sped off. Samson, who was still sitting in the car, gaped in disbelief. “He just cheated death yesterday, and now he’s doing this? Has that guy gone mad?”

Half an hour later, Theo and Rosalie arrived at the school for the noble families. “Oh, my God. Look! Rosalie came to school on a bike! How could she travel on a bike while wearing a skirt? How atrocious and unladylike!”

“Exactly! She’s getting out of control!” The girls started talking behind Rosalie’s back when they saw her entering the school. Rosalie gave them the cold shoulder.

Soon, Melinda and Shannon arrived. The other girls looked at the Tilan sisters in awe as they were envious of them. Rosalie’s expression remained grim.

Everyone knew that there were several women in Hugo’s life. That was why he had more than ten children. Yet, no one knew Rosalie was his only child with his legitimate wife.

Rosalie tossed the key to the bodyguard beside her. “Take the car and go anywhere you wish to go. It’ll be even better if you wreck the car.”

She pointed at the car worth several million.

Growing up in a complicated family environment, Rosalie did not have a care in the world. That was how she ended up becoming an arrogant and emotional person. Her moods changed at the drop of a hat.

No one deserved to be happy if she was in a bad mood.

Theo retrieved the key from her but did not do what she said.

After watching the unreasonable young woman enter the school, Theo put the key into his pocket and lit a cigarette. He did not bother heeding her order this time.

Samson did not know what else to say. So he’s finally not going to do what Ms. Rosalie asked of him, huh?

He walked over and drew a cigarette from Theo’s box.

Lighting the cigarette, he advised, “It’s not easy to take care of Ms. Rosalie. You have to stop being so reckless, Theo. You may have escaped death this round, but luck will not always be on your side.”

Upon hearing that, Theo glanced at Samson from the corner of his eyes. “I’ll not die.”

Samson was rendered speechless by his remark. He’s so full of himself.

Samson continued puffing on his cigarette while Theo remained silent. All of a sudden, Theo’s eyes flashed. He straightened and turned to Samson. “I’m going to the washroom.”

His sudden reaction did not arouse Samson’s suspicion.

Theo looked around and found a public restroom. He then entered one of the cubicles.

“Matteo? Are you there?” The voice of a woman rang out from the communicator in his ears, sounding anxious.

Theo turned on the tap to offset his voice. “Yes.”

“What took you so long to reply to me? I thought—” The woman heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his voice.

However, she was also slightly unhappy about his slow response.

Theo did not explain further. After seeing the last man leave the restroom, he asked succinctly, “Anything?”

Lana said, “Last night, a lieutenant from Yartran named Vincent detained a human trafficker who sells organs illegally. After a round of interrogation, the man confessed he was involved in your uncle’s case.”

“Wait, what?” He raised his voice involuntarily as he did not expect to hear this.

Lana tapped on her phone and sent a photo to his email through an anonymous account.

“I heard the man is gay. At first, he… wanted to get his hands on your uncle. He paid someone to kidnap your uncle, but… when your uncle fought back, he… crippled him.” Lana halted several times as she spoke.

She sounded slightly hesitant because she did not want Theo to go through emotional turmoil as this was his first mission, and she was afraid he might not take the news well. After all, this was also his first time hearing about such a gruesome incident.

People in their line of work had to be psychologically prepared to cope with and manage stress.

Lana could not help but recall how smiley and cheerful Matteo was when she first met him. He could warm people’s hearts with that affectionate smile on his face.

Thump!

Suddenly, Lana heard a thud from her earpiece.

She panicked. “Matteo, what are you doing? Calm down, and don’t act impulsively!”
