Sir Ares, Goodnight

After Rose's dad divorced her mother, he married the woman who was Sydney's mother.

Even though it looked like a typical remarriage, Sydney was only two years younger than Rose.

When Rose's dad divorced his ex-wife, Rose was five years old. From that perspective, it seemed more likely that Rose's dad cheated on her mom while they were married.

At that time, Rose's mother lived in a remote rural area and did not know how to defend herself in the divorce court.

When Rose was fifteen, her mother worked so hard to the point where she fell ill. Her worst fear was that no one would take care of her daughter if she died. Out of options, she had her daughter embark on a long journey to the city to search for her relatives.

However, her father introduced Rose, his own flesh and blood, to everyone as an illegitimate daughter.

From that day, although Rose moved in with the Foyle Family, she lived a miserable, lowly life.

Both Sydney and her mother would often humiliate Rose for coming from a lower background. It was common for them to scold and beat Rose when her dad was not at home. Once, Rose could not stop herself and talked back. As a result, her stepmother and half-sister stripped off her clothes and shut her in the bathroom all night.

That day caused Rose to suffer severe depression.

The only thing that made her pull through in life was when Rose found out that her biological mother, Harper, was suffering from uremia. Harper went to the city searching for Rose to borrow money to see a doctor.

Rose had no money to lend her.

When Harper saw her daughter dressed in fancy clothes, she thought Rose had assimilated well with her new family and home. Harper assumed Rose had also received the mindset of the city folk who loved wealth and hated the poor. At that moment, Harper was furious and she berated Rose, telling her that she was an ungrateful and vicious person.

Following that, Rose plucked up the courage to ask her father for money. Her request was refused.

His father's unkind words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Rose, I've already done more than enough for you. Don't be greedy. Don't try to exploit any more from me. People must learn to be content."

That day, when Rose was abandoned by her own parents, she felt suicidal for the first time.

She walked aimlessly on the street and saw a red car approaching. She suddenly lost control and threw

herself at the car.

When she woke up, she was Angeline.
