Initially, Roza, who was standing behind Axel, felt really upset. However, upon hearing his words, a smile nearly formed on her lips,
and she almost burst into laughter.
Axel had a way with words. In the courtroom, he would ruthlessly expose the defendants’ vulnerabilities, and in his daily life, he
would bluntly call out people's sensitive spots.
“You... What nonsense are you spouting! | haven't had any plastic surgery!” Regina quickly covered her face, which was tight and
puffed up like an inflated doll, feeling embarrassed, angry, and guilty all at once.
Axel shook his head and said, “It's not your fault that you're getting older, but using it to intimidate others isn’t right.”
Regina was absolutely fuming, feeling like she might get a stroke.
“You, who are you to Roza?!” Wendy supported her mother and couldn't help but question.
“Who am | to her?” Axel clicked his tongue against his cheek and then turned to look seriously at Roza. “Ms. Roza, she’s asking me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwho | am to you.”
Roza stared at him, her heart pounding wildly.
“If you don’t answer, then I'll assthe role of your boyfriend,” Axel said, his eyes twinkling with a deeply intoxicating
tenderness.
“What?!” Both Regina and Wendy were so shocked, their jaws almost dropped. ‘A man so refined, handsome, and distinguished is
actually dating this wretched girl?!"
Roza’s delicate face immediately turned red. She shyly averted her gaze, not daring to look at him again.
Axel’s eyes darkened slightly. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, took her slightly cool hand, and then interlaced their fingers
tightly.
"Earlier, | watched as you bullied my darling Roza. | didn’t intervene because | wanted to see how despicable and shameless you
could be and to what extent human nature could be corrupted. Well, you didn’t disappoint me. It was a real spectacle, like a bunch
of demons dancing wildly. It was truly eye-opening.” Axel’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.
‘Darling...Roza?’ Roza blinked her moist eyes, feeling a warm sensation in her heart.
Regina gritted her teeth. “This is a family matter for the Walker family. It’s none of your business, right?”
“Roza is my woman. You tellif it has anything to do with me,” Axel said, his jaw tensing and his sharp gaze so intense that no
one dared to meet it.
“Did my mother say anything wrong?” Wendy started yelling again, continuing to slander Roza. “She’s just the illegitimate
daughter of the Walker family. Her mother seduced my father and got pregnant with her. When she couldn't force him into
marriage, she secretly gave birth to this little tramp. Her mother later fell on hard times and brought her here to seek refuge in our
family. We treated them with the utmost kindness and generosity, but now that Roza has sskills, she turns into a heartless
ingrate who won't even make clothes for me!”
Wendy added, “She owes everything she has today to the Walker family! If my father hadn't taken them in, who knows in which
ditch she and her mother would have died?”

Roza’s eyes turned red, and her breath becheavy.
At this moment, Axel sneered, “So what does any of this have to do with my darling Roza?”
Wendy was stunned into silence!
“She had no choice about whether she wanted toe into this world. She couldn't choose her parents or her background. But |
believe that if she had even the slightest choice, she wouldn't want to have anything to do with the likes of your family,” Axel said,
his gaze deeply fixed on Roza.
His gaze was clearly conveying to her. ‘You don’t need to say anything. | understand it all.”
“If the Walker family wants to retain a shred of dignity, you'd better leave immediately. Otherwise, I'll make sure you lose every bit
of it.”
Regina had sensed from the moment this man appeared that he was no ordinary person. Unable to argue further at this moment,
she could only grab Wendy's arm and hastily leave the villa.
Back in the car, Wendy continued to vent her frustration. “Mom! That man injured you. If he doesn’t apologize, shouldn't he at
leastpensate you for medical expenses?!”
