Chapter 62 Pressure for Bryce
At that moment, Ethan took a box out of his bag and showed it to his two older brothers.
“I have something to give Rossie,” Ethan said as he opened the box.
Dominic froze instantly, while Marcus took a deep breath, surprised by what Ethan had brought. A pistol smaller than an adult woman's palm glinted under the light.
“Save your surprise for later, you two. My friend in the military gave me another gift,” Ethan continued as he took out a jewelry box.
“Look at this ring! Beautiful, isn't it?”
Marcus was curious about the ring, especially the red stone in the center. He immediately took it and intended to look at it more closely, but Ethan grabbed his wrist.
“Careful! I'll explain it to you!”
Ethan then pointed to a small circle in the center of the red stone, and it immediately opened, revealing a needle.
“This is no ordinary needle, but it can spray a dangerous poison that can cause temporary blindness.”
A look of fear appeared on Marcus's face. “How could you give such a dangerous weapon to Rossie?”
Ethan furrowed his brow and smiled cynically. “Bryce Johansen! That shameless jerk oppressed my younger sister! I prepared those gifts especially for him! Rossie will determine his fate!”
Marcus was impressed by his ferocity. “Hmm, impressive!”
Ethan just chuckled. His lips then curved into a mischievous smile.
Finally, after two days, Rossie managed to repair the bracelet Grandma Lucia had given her with the help of Dave and her three older brothers. She took a short break before finally driving back to Aether City with Marcus at the wheel.
Rossie leaned tiredly on Dominic, her eyes half closed. However, she still held the jewelry box tightly.
“Rossie, I want to tell you something. Bryce contacted me the night you returned to Aether City,” Dominic said softly.
“Oh.” Rossie felt her heart pound. However, she chose to respond casually.
At that moment, Dominic was surprised to see his sister's response. He wondered if Rossie was too tired from fixing the Ruby bracelet to take his words seriously.
“I told him never to contact you again, and I made it clear that you would always be busy if you had anything to do with him! Huh, I wonder what he was thinking at that moment,” Dominic continued, staring ahead.
Rossie then got up and smiled at Dominic. “Good then. I won't let a dirty person like him into my life again. Besides, I am the beloved sister of the president of the Nexus Group, so you should prevent me from making the same mistake as before!”
"Of course. All the men at Nexus Group adore your every move.“ Dominic smiled affectionately as he rubbed his sister's back.
”Dominic, give me your phone!“ Rossie exclaimed, holding out her hand.
Dominic handed her his phone. Rossie looked confused as she stared at her brother's phone screen.
”The passcode is your birthday!" Dominic exclaimed.
“Oh, I understand.”
Rossie tapped the contact list and blocked Bryce's phone number.
“Wow, you're so cruel!” A small smile appeared on Bryce's face.
“I have to end everything with him once and for all. That jerk won't learn his lesson if I don't take extreme measures.”
Rossie's gaze turned cold as she mentioned her ex-husband at that moment. She felt so stupid when she remembered what she had done to get Bryce's love, but she got what she didn't expect.
Meanwhile, Bryce…
He could hardly eat or sleep in the last few days. Since he hadn't heard from Rossie and couldn't reach her, Grandma never stopped calling him.
Bryce finally realized that his grandmother was much more difficult to deal with than before.
“Mr. Johansen, why don't we just ask the police for help to deal with this problem?” Steven asked, trying to offer advice.
“We can file a missing person report to find Mrs. Rossie. You, Mrs. Rossie, have not completed the divorce proceedings. You two are still married. It's natural for a husband to look for his missing wife. Mrs. Rossie might show up after we file the report.”
Bryce stared sharply at Steven, “I don't know what's wrong with you. Are you stupid or an idiot?”
“Then what should we do? It's as if Mrs. Rossie disappeared without a trace! She didn't even take her cell phone. She doesn't have any friends either. The only person she was in contact with refuses to talk to you too—”
Bryce narrowed his eyes dangerously at Steven. He wanted to kick his stupid assistant out of the building.
The night before, he tried calling Domnic's number again, only to realize that he was blocked.
This was the first time Bryce had been blocked by someone other than Rossie. He could only sit there looking shocked. His mind was even blank at that moment.
In the end, he spent more than ten minutes trying to recover from the shock. Bryce felt as if Dominic had trampled on his pride and ego before spitting in his face. It was so humiliating.
At that moment, he stood up from his seat before putting on his jacket. Then, he headed for the door.
“Get the car ready. We’re going to Nexus Group now!”
