Chapter 1329
The maid said, "She says she is Ned Sowle's fiancée."
Upon hearing Ned's name, Veronica instantly understood why there was no prior appointment. However, she couldn't help but wonder why Rosa had suddenly come to visit.
Although she had never met this woman, Veronica felt a strange dislike for her.
Gloria was also taken aback. She furrowed her brow.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Let her in."
Then she turned to Veronica. "Put those things away for now. We might not go after all. I want to see what this Rosa has come for."
"Visting without a reason is unusual. Mrs. Martin Senior, please don't let your emotions run high. If necessary, I can call Mrs. Martin and ask her to come back," Veronica said, a hint of concern in her voice.
Gloria shook her head. "No need. She's just a young woman."
Having been around Joe for three years, Rosa must have figured out his true identity but had never revealed it to him.
One could only imagine how conniving this woman was. Thinking of this made Gloria's expression darken. A person who tried to claim what didn't belong to them was inherently wrong.
After a few minutes, Gloria met Rosa. Rosa was momentarily taken aback upon seeing Gloria. Gloria looked remarkably well-preserved and radiated an undeniable air of authority.
Such a presence was fascinating. Joe shared a similar presence. If Joe were here alongside Gloria, they would surely give off a sense of familial connection.
Rosa was surprised that Skylar wasn't there. After all, Skylar was living there as well.
Rosa had come today to make her intentions clear to both Gloria and Skylar. She didn't want to waste time returning later.
"Hello, Mrs. Martin Senior. I'm Rosa Reese, Ned's fiancée. I apologize for the intrusion today," she began politely.
Gloria coldly acknowledged her. "Just get to the point."
"Could Ms. Sullivan come down as well? I have some things I need to say to her too. I want to clarify everything while I have this opportunity," Rosa requested.
Rosa kept reminding herself to smile, but for some reason, standing before an elderly woman in her 70$, she felt as if all her thoughts were being laid bare. She found it difficult to maintain eye contact with Gloria.

Still, she was determined. Once she'd set her mind on something, she had to see it through, or she couldn't find peace.
Gloria raised an eyebrow slightly. "Skye isn't here. If you have something to say, just say it."
Rosa, even if she were dense, could sense Gloria's impatience in her tone. It seemed like Gloria didn't want to hear her ramble on.
Although Rosa felt a pang of
reluctance, she reminded herself that coming here was no easy feat If she didn't resolve things today, Joe would inevitably find out, so she decided to address everything with Gloria in front of her.
She had gathered information indicating that Gloria's health was declining. Yet, given her persistence in living, Rosa couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't passed on.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Rosa frowned slightly but quickly forced a smile as she addressed Gloria. "My fiancé, Ned Sowle, and recently went to Jipsburg. To our surprise, we came across someone who looked exactly like him. That person is your grandson, Joe Martin."
