Chapter 505 Where There is a Will, There is a Way.

Bright took off his coat when he got home. Rose put it on the arm of the sofa.

"It's snowing outside." Rose looked out the window at the falling snowflakes.

"Yes." Bright pulled her to sit down, "Have things been settled?"

Bright wanted to deal with Chandler personally, but Rose insisted on solving it herself.

Bright had to agree, but only on the condition that she met the Linders at Ginkgo Villa. It was safe here.

She asked Bright not to be at home until she had settled things.

"Sure." Rose said, "I never have to contact them again."

"You did it to keep them from bothering me and my father." Bright was very clear about it, "You don't
have to do that. I can work it out."

"I was right to tell the truth. I don't want to have the same last name as them. Don't call me by the
wrong name, or you'll be punished." Rose rubbed Bright's lower chin with her finger.

"Okay, I'll kiss you if I call you wrong once, and serve you in bed if I do it three times, what do you
think?" Bright's long eyebrows were lightly raised.

Rose pinched his lower jaw, "You can't kiss me if you call me wrong once, and sleep in the guest room
once if you do it three times."

"Honey." Bright suddenly called her in a soft voice.

"'Honey' doesn't work." Rose seemed unyielding.

"Honey." Bright called her again.



"Doesn't work again." Rose still insisted.

"No." Bright raised his lips, smiling inexplicably, "Then I'll call you baby."

"..."

She didn't expect that Bright would not address her directly.

Okay, he won.

She went to change her last name on her ID card and her household register.

And she told her closest friends about the change of her name.

Bright hesitated for a long time and finally decided to go back to the Lee family's villa for dinner and talk
to Hallie on the weekend.

Rose and Doris chatted with Francis, and Doris coaxed Francis into playing chess.

"What's wrong?" Hallie and Bright were in the pantry room on the second floor.

"You knew my brother before you married my father." Bright said directly.

Hallie's face paled, "I don't know what you mean."

"You used to love each other, and you broke up with him after you met my father." Bright continued.

"Nonsense." Hallie became embarrassed, "Even if you don't like me, I'm still your dad's wife, you can't
talk to me like that!"

"I know you won't admit it, but it won't change the facts." Hallie's reaction was expected, "The matter of
my brother jumping off the building is related to you."



"Do you have proof?" Hallie glanced at Bright with her heart pounding.

"You want proof? The doctor said that Marley's condition has improved, and there's a chance he'll wake
up." Bright's composure contrasted with Hallie's apprehension.

Hallie's clenched her hands, "If the doctor's words is believable, he would have woken up long ago.
Don't accuse me. I put up with the matter about Zoe. Don't think I'm a pushover. I just don't want to get
your father in a dilemma."

"If so, you wouldn't have married my father with peace of mind after falling in love with my brother!"
Bright said sharply, "Don't make yourself sound so noble. You know better than anyone the reason for
marrying my father."

"We love each other. I didn't force your father to marry me!" Hallie felt humiliated by Bright and her eyes
turned red.

Bright directly threw the folder he had brought back on the table, "Is this evident enough?"

Hallie looked at the folder and did not open it at first.

She clenched her hands.

"If you don't want to read it, then I'll show it to my father." Bright was going to get the folder.

Hallie grabbed the folder on the coffee table and clutched it in her hand.

She opened it after she calmed down and there were some photos of her and Marley inside.

"How did you get these photos?" Hallie's voice trembled lightly.



"It was indeed hard to find." Bright remained calm, "Do you still deny having a romantic relationship
with Marley?"

Hallie lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips. If she continued to deny it, Bright would tell Francis
everything and she wouldn't be able to stay here.

What about her daughter? What would Stefan think of her?

"Did you push him?" Bright only wanted to know the truth.

Hallie held the document tightly, her fingertips poking the edges of the paper, but she bit her lip and
didn't say anything.

"I'll know it sooner or later even if you don't tell me. I've never given up on finding the truth about
Marley's jumping from the building. Since I can find out this, the truth is just a matter of time. I have
plenty of time and patience, but by then I won't be so merciful." Bright gave Hallie a chance. "Francis
can make you tell the truth."

"No." Hallie painfully called out to Bright, "Don't tell Francis."

"Are you afraid of being kicked out by Francis? Or are you afraid that he will kill you?" Bright said
sarcastically.

"Francis is not in good health. He'll collapse." Hallie looked at Bright expectantly.

"Then tell me." Bright forced Hallie to tell the truth.
