Chapter 15

After hanging up the call, Roxanne sighed and collapsed lazily on the bed staring face up at the ceiling. Her long hair that was tied up loosened and scattered on the bed.

"Gosh! This is harder than I thought it would be." Roxanne muttered as she heaved a heavy sigh. She thought she could get over it but all the events she had to go through today made her so tired. It was the reaction she got from her grandparents that baffled her the most.

"I thought handling such situations would be easier than working my ass off in the company signing documents in the office in my past life." Roxanne mumbled silently.

' Leaving that aside I still don't know what my next move would be. Now that I have met my grandparents that I never saw in my past life till I died, they don't seem to be what I presume them to be.' Roxanne sat up on the bed again as she contemplated on her next move.

'Should I just let them know the reason why I came here?' Roxanne thought but she quickly dismissed the idea away from her mind immediately.

Just because she was treated well by her grandparents doesn't mean that they would actually believe it if she told them that she came here because needed their help.

"Take it easy Roxanne, just because you met them and they turn out to be nice people on your first encounter doesn't mean you shouldn't watch them first." Roxanne cautioned herself. This is just the first day of meeting them, she shouldn't rush into conclusion yet.

Her target is to take her revenge on the Smith family, since this was her first time to spend time with the Walter family in her entire life. She shouldn't let the sweet emotion she just received from her grandparents cloud her judgment.

"I should be a little bit patient, since my mother's elder brother would be here I should take the opportunity to know what kind of person he would turn out to be if he finds out about me. Even though the Walter couples don't seem like a threat to me this unknown uncle could turn out to be another obstacle too." Roxanne muttered gently.

In her past life she hadn't heard of her mother's brother so she was clueless of anything about him which made her so wary about him. She wasn't so sure about the kind of person he was, although her grandparents made her understand earlier that he doted a lot on her mother. But she was different from her mother, what if he treated her differently from her mother.

Her main purpose for seeking out the Walter family apart from wanting to meet the grandparents she never had the chance to meet in her life. Her other purpose was to find a reliable source to back her up to take her revenge. The Walter family was her only source of backing she could find at the moment but before she could come clean with her purpose she had to fully watch them to ensure that she can rely on them.

She also didn't have any knowledge about the Walter family and her grandparents, she only knew that they came to look for her which she refused to follow them.

"Ahh…. let's just leave all of this till I meet my uncle before I decide. But for now I need a good sleep." Roxanne yawned lazily as she stretched her tired body. She groaned before laying on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, inside the gallery room on the second floor of the mansion. The gallery contained various pictures and sculptures displayed inside the gallery that Old Walter loved.

Old Walter had been collecting the pieces of pictures for years and each one of them reminded him of a different time and place in his life. He was especially proud of the sculpting which was all done by Evelyn personally.

Roxanne's mother was a very talented artist, she loved to sing and play musical instruments. And most of her paintings were auctioned in the past before she died. Because of his daughter's talents, it was the reason Old Walter made the gallery room and also a music room together.

Old Walter stood in front of a framed photograph that was hung on the wall, his admiration for the picture was evident as he spent a considerable amount of time staring at the picture. Looking at the picture, a longing smile spread across Old Walter's face.

The person in the photograph was a middle aged woman with long blonde hair that was styled into a half braided ponytail, she has beautiful emerald green eyes and a wide smile spread across her face. She looked exactly just like Roxanne but a little bit older and her face was much more mature.

There was no doubt that she was Evelyn, Roxanne's mother. After Evelyn died, Old Walter insisted on framing one of his daughter's pictures, which he had them placed in this room which was Evelyn's favorite place in the whole Mansion.

Although Evelyn was a very talented artist before she died, she never got the chance to explore her talent. After Evelyn graduated from school she chose to work in the company along with brother to support the work load. It was only whenever Evelyn had a free chance she was able to come to the gallery room that Old Walter created for her when she was young to paint and play some musical instruments.

Evelyn was very popular and famous not because of her family status as one the top three most powerful families in the whole country. The Walter family is one of the top three prestigious and elite families, not just in Green City, but in the whole country. It was difficult to choose which family was the most powerful among the three top families in the country. The Walter family fortune and the other two families fortune were on par, but with further investigation the Walter family was able to earn them the title of the second richest family in the country.
