Rosalie dodged his glances, not daring to answer him for fear that he would notice something.

She was afraid that Charlie would find out that she was Sheldon's illegitimate daughter. If that happened, he might not only use her as a bargaining chip to threaten her father and the Schulz family, but he might even expose her to the public. 4 Although she hoped that Sheldon could announce to the world that she was his daughter, she also knew that by doing so, it would jeopardize his reputation as the eldest son of the Schulz family, a husband to a lawfully wedded wife, a father to a pair of children, bringing a negative impact on his family's happiness.

Rosalie only wanted to share her father's worries and burdens and never once thought of giving him trouble, so, deep inside her, she was terrified that Charlie would notice any peculiarity.

Sensing her dodging his gaze and keeping her mouth shut at the stime, Charlie felt that something was amiss and said, "You are now the number one felon in Japan. Under such circumstances, the Schulz family must have spent at least a billion dollars or even more to get you out..." With that, he stared at her and said in a cold voice," I've heard of the Schulz family's style and attitude. Cadfan, the current family head, is a stingy person. He would not be willing to spend so much money to rescue an underling, not even if you're a powerful member." At this point, he sneered deliberately, "Unless... You're not the family's underling!" Although Rosalie was very powerful, she still lacked the social experience as well as the emotional quotient. Therefore she becnervous upon listening to Charlie's accusations and said frantically," No! It's not what you think! I-I am the Schulz family's underling..." 3 Charlie smirked. "It seems that you're not very good at hiding your feelings. I can already tell something from your eyes!" Rosalie asked in a panic, "Huh? What can you tell?" Charlie laughed. "I guessed it correctly!" 3 With that, he coldly asked, "Who are you to the Schulz family? I've investigated you, Rosalie Schulz. You worked under the family as a bodyguard. Although your last nis also Schulz, you have nothing to do with the family..." She nodded profusely. "T-That's right. I am indeed just their underling..." Charlie waved his hand. "No way. As I said, the Schulz family would not make such a fuss over an underling, so this could not be why they want to rescue you..." Then, he stared at her somewhat frantic eyes and said flatly, "In that case, you must have another identity!" Frightened, Rosalie shook her head repeatedly and said in a pleading tone, "I don't! No, I don't have any other identity! Just killnow! Stop humiliatingH Charlie glanced blankly at her nervous reaction and laughed coldly. "The Schulz family looks up to you, and you are so heartily defending them. This alone has clearly transcended the connection between master and underling unless... unless you are somehow related to the family by blood! You are a Schulz after all!" 3

Rosalie shook her head desperately. "Although I'm also a Schulz, that is just a coincidence. I've worked for the Schulz family ever since I was m since I eighteen, mainly as Sheldon's bodyguard. Occasionally, I would bring smen on ssecretive missions! For example, the Matsumoto family massacre! I was responsible for leading the team to carry out the mission! I'm telling you the truth! I don't have any other identity..."

Charlie chuckled. "That's enough, young lady. In my opinion, the more you explain, the more you want to cover up something It would have e.) been reasonable if you were just the family's underling and was prepared to die for them. Yet, here you are, making so many explanations regardless of your life! It's obvious that you're trying to defend the family!" With that, Charlie said in a teasing tone, "Letguess, you must be the illegitimate daughter of someone in the family, hmm? That's why they went to such great lengths to rescue you, am I right?"

Blood drained from Rosalie's face. She shook her head desperately, flinging tears out of her eyes as she said," No, you're wrong! I'm not the illegitimate daughter of the Schulz family. Please believe me... Ignoring her, Charlie tilted his head and muttered, "I wonder whose daughter would you be? Cadfan? No way. He is so old, he could die any minute now. I don't think he would be able to impregnate a woman and give birth to a girl as young as you. Besides, if you are truly his illegitimate daughter, he would never let you protect Sheldon because he could discover the truth at any time..." With that, Charlie sized Rosalie up again and said with a smile, "In that case, you should be Sheldon's daughter, right? In order to conceal your identity, he let you stay beside him as his bodyguard so that you can get close to him and not be suspected. Am I right?" X
