Chapter 905 People Might Get The Wrong Idea
“I know, right? Why would she try so hard to steal a married man? Is this what daughters from wealthy families do these days? I can’t believe she’d go as far as becoming a homewrecker! Does her shamelessness know no bounds?”
“Oh, please! The Adams family is only slightly wealthier than the rest of us! They’re nothing compared to the Graham family!”
“Those aren’t even her kids! I’m surprised she has the audacity to come and pick them up from school!”
“Is she not afraid of running into their mother here?”
“I doubt someone trying so hard to be a homewrecker would care about such things. I bet she’s here to assert her dominance or something!”
“What a shameless woman!”
Given how loud they were talking, it was impossible for Rosetta to not hear them.
The look on her face changed as she turned around and glared daggers at them. “What the heck are you all talking about, huh? I’m just here to pick up Benjamin’s kids from school! Why don’t you busybodies just mind your own business?”
All six of the kids rolled their eyes at her in response.
“We don’t need you to pick us up, you shameless woman!”
The crowd began laughing at Rosetta after hearing what the kids said.
“Hey, did you hear that? They don’t need you to pick them up from school!”
“Our mommy will come and pick us up!” Jesse yelled.
Gavin and the others nodded in agreement.
“Yeah! Our mommy will be here soon! We don’t need you to pick us up!”
“You’re just an evil woman who wants to ruin Daddy and Mommy’s relationship! We don’t even know you that well! Go away! Stop trying to win Daddy over by acting all close to us! Daddy will never fall for a woman like you no matter how hard you try!” Zachary chimed in as well.
Rosetta felt her blood boiling when she heard that, but she quickly suppressed her anger and maintained her smile as she said, “I just happened to be passing by and remembered you kids go to school here, so I figured I’d take you to your daddy’s office!”
“Are you trying to kidnap my children, Ms. Adams?” Arissa asked sarcastically as she made her way over.
“Mommy!”
The six kids quickly rushed to her side and hugged her legs tightly.
“This evil woman is trying to kidnap us, Mommy!” they cried out in unison.
“Don’t be afraid. Mommy’s here,” Arissa said while gently patting them on the head.
Rosetta was caught off guard as she didn’t expect Arissa to show up so soon.
After taking a brief moment to compose herself, she said with a friendly smile, “This is all a misunderstanding. I was just passing by and thought I’d take them over to Benjamin’s office.”
Wow… And here I thought Danna was shameless… Rosetta really takes the cake! Just how stupid do they think we are?
“I don’t care what your reasons are, Ms. Adams. Don’t you know that the school doesn’t allow anyone apart from the children’s parents to pick them up? Do you have any sort of documentation from us granting you permission to pick the kids up?” Arissa asked with a mocking grin.
She knew Benjamin couldn’t possibly have asked Rosetta to pick the kids up as she was on the phone with him earlier.
“Why must you speak ill of me? It was never my intention to kidnap them!” Rosetta protested.
“Then why are you picking them up from school?” Arissa pressed on while taking a few steps forward.
She wasn’t about to take any chances when it came to her children’s safety.
Rosetta found herself getting intimidated by Arissa’s penetrating gaze.
“I was just trying to help Benjamin—”
“Pfft!” Arissa cut her off with a snicker and said sarcastically, “I wouldn’t address him so casually if I were you, Ms. Adams. People who don’t know the truth might get the wrong idea and think you two are having an affair. I remember Benjamin giving you a warning about this yesterday. He said you’re not worthy of addressing him by name, so why are you doing it in front of me? Are you trying to cause a misunderstanding here? Or are you trying to make everyone think Benjamin is cheating on me? Is this any way an unmarried woman like you should be acting?”
Rosetta got really mad when she noticed the onlookers staring at her in disdain.
“Why are you hurling such baseless accusations at me, Arissa? Are you feeling insecure or something?”
