Chapter 861: Across the room, Emmett's patience finally snapped. "Enough! If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You've brought shto the Mitchell family!" "You're blamingfor this?"

"Rosanna, what do you think?” Kenny asked, gesturing toward the polished exterior of the home. “It's a little over 2,000 square feet." Without letting go of Kenny's hand, Rosanna stepped through the doorway with him. Every inch of the house radiated careful thought and modern taste. The space was wide and open, with sunlight flowing in effortlessly from both ends. Not only was it well-lit, but it also struck a perfect balance between style and practicality.

"You were manipulating me," she muttered, her voice laced with mock anger. “You knew I wouldn't let it happen. You planned the whole thing!"
