Chapter 409 Slipping Away

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken you to the bar last night, the bad guy wouldn't have taken you away..." Yvonne cried in remorse.

At the Young Estate, a hint of guilt surfaced in Miles' heart as he sat on the couch and watched Yvonne bawl. It even seemed that Yvonne wished she could bear all the pain for Rose. Gabriel sat beside him and glanced at him, looking a little diffident. He was the one who said Rose was taken away by a bad guy after Miles attached the bad guy label to Jonathan. "Rosie, where are you? Say something..." Yvonne's heart was in knots.

Yvonne hadn't stopped speaking in an anxious voice since the call was connected. Rose finally grabbed the chance to speak.

"I'm fine-"

"Rosie, it's all my fault..."

Rose immediately comforted her. "I'm fine. Yvonne, you... calm down. Just calm down..."

Yvonne was taken aback. "You're fine? Is that true? Did the bad guy go easy on you?" She was still worried that Rose had said that to appease her concerns.

Rose eyed the "bad guy", who was in a deep sleep. "He... isn't really a bad guy..."

Her response stunned Yvonne. Rose whispered in a lowered voice, "Are you at the Young Estate? Stay there. I'll be back soon."

With that, Rose quickly hung up.

As Yvonne stared at her phone, Rose's words echoed in her mind. She looked suspiciously at the two men present.

"Rosie told me that the man isn't a bad guy..." But the two of them had clearly said that a bad guy had taken Rose away!

Miles averted his gaze and masked his guilt by picking up the cup of coffee from the table. He took a sip and asked, "What else did she say?"

Recalling Rose's words, Yvonne looked at them with innocent eyes and told the truth without holding back.
