Chapter 10 Death Notice
In an instant, Mason forgot all about his pain as he stared at her with eyes full of disbelief.
How did she find out!
Roseanne withdrew her gaze, rose to her feet, and left.
Someone tentatively asked, “Mr. Ziegler, should we call the police!”
Mason’s face was contorted in pain. “Forget about calling the police summon an ambulance?“

Roseanne no longer had any support now, yet she still dared to challenge him. Undoubtedly, she must have something detrimental to him in her hands.
That b*tch! I definitely won’t let her off the hook!
Upon learning that his uncle had been hospitalized by Roseanne, Brandon rushed over immediately.
Upon seeing his uncle in such a pitiful state, Brandon was seething with anger, his temples throbbing violently. “How could she lay hands on an elder? I must have been blind to ever think she was kind–hearted.”
Mason was a pitiful sight with bandages enveloping his hands, neck, and forehead. His face was as pale as a sheet as he lamented, “Brandon, Roseanne has beaten me up so badly that I can’t even go to work. She won’t even cover the medical bills. emotional distress, or the wages I’ve lost because of this.”
With a serious expression, Brandon assured, “Don’t worry, Uncle Mason. I’ll find a lawyer for you. We’ll definitely get your compensation.”
Mason’s mournful expression froze as he recalled Roseanne’s warning before she left. His lips quivered as he stuttered, “T- There’s no need to go through the hassle of hiring a lawyer. She should get a fair amount from the divorce. Just deduct the compensation from that portion of the assets!
Yvonne walked through the door just in time to hear these words. With a frown, she placed the fruit basket on the table. Then, seemingly nonchalant, she began to speak. “Roseanne signed a prenuptial agreement stating she won’t get a share of your wealth if you divorce. Does that mean you’re planning to pay her extra?”
Brandon rose to his feet, gently taking her hand into his own. “She exploited Graham Group and me. How could I possibly share my wealth with her? Yvie, don’t misunderstand me.”
That seven hundred million was compensation from his grandfather and had nothing to do with him.
Mason, who was in the midst of putting on an act, was completely taken aback. His fractured hand had already been tended. to. This whole charade was simply to get some money from Brandon without involving Roseanne.
However, now he was hearing that Roseanne wouldn’t receive a share of the Graham family’s wealth.
The Graham family was surprisingly ruthless!
Yvonne gave a cold huff, her gaze falling onto Mason. “Considering how badly Uncle Mason was beaten, she might have violent tendencies. I wonder if she mistreated Grandpa and the others too.”
Brandon said, “Even though I was abroad, I kept up with everything happening at home. She truly put her heart and soul into
Yvonne frowned, “Given Grandpa and Mrs. Graham’s status, she wouldn’t dare. But what about the housekeepers? Last time I visited the Graham residence, a housekeeper named Luisa tearfully told me that she had been physically punished by
Roseanne”
Brandon was shocked to hear that. “Such a thing happened?”
“Yeah. If we could get evidence of Roseanne’s violent attacks, our chances of winning the lawsuit would be significantly higher

Yvonne’s words served as a reminder for Brandon. He turned to Mason and asked, “Uncle Mason, could you please provide me with a copy of the wound assessment report?”
Mason paused for a moment, his gaze drifting toward the window. “Well, she worked for Graham Group for two years, so I’ll let it slide this time.”
“Uncle Mason. I’ve already received the lawyer’s letter. There’s no need for you to worry about Roseanne anymore.”
Seeing that he could no longer control the situation, Mason simply feigned a headache, urging the two to leave immediately,
When Roseanne returned to her apartment and her gaze swept over the table, her expression froze.
She set down the box, her gaze shifting toward the white envelope on the table.
The envelope was pristine, untouched by a speck of dust, with a black skull emblem imprinted right at its center
This was a death notice from the assassin organization known as Hell Blood,
Upon receiving the notice, the recipient was destined to perish within a month.
Someone had hired assassins to kill her?
Things were becoming quite interesting.
Roseanne settled into the chair, legs crossed over each other. She then raised her legs and placed the bend of her knees on the edge of the table. Her shoe heels landed perfectly atop the white envelope.

The call
from Jeffrey.
“Ms. Roseanne, the legal notice has been sent to the Graham family. They still chose not to settle, so it’s highly likely we’re headed to court
“All right, Mr. Parker, you’ve worked hard”
The authoritative tone had Jeffrey momentarily at a loss for words before he responded, “It’s not a bother, It’s what I should be doing.
The evidence was abundant, making this case relatively easy to tackle. Keeping his clients informed about the progress was part of his duty as a lawyer.
Once the call ended, there was a knock at the door. Jeffrey called out. “Come in..
The person who arrived was the same lawyer intern who held a grudge against Roseanne. His name was Eugene Jansen and he worked under Jeffrey
“Mr. Parker.” Eugene placed the documents on the table. “The files are all organized now.”
Jeffrey gave a slight nod. “Okay.”
Eugene didn’t leave immediately, his expression a complex mix of emotions. He wanted to ask something, yet he dared not speak up.
Jeffrey glanced up. “Is there something you wish to discuss?”
“Yes” Eugene appeared visibly conflicted, but after some thought, he finally made up his mind.
“Mr. Parker, may I ask why you took on Roseanne’s case? There’s a high chance she might be a scammer.”
Jeffrey’s hand holding the pen paused for a moment. He looked up again as he set down his pen. “Sit down so we can chat.
Eugene could clearly sense Jeffrey’s demeanor becoming more chilly and instantly regretted his question.
