America: Starting with the Last Liberty

Chapter 116 Was I sexually assaulted? (4K)

Sophia was already asleep, and Rosen had a general understanding of what had happened during the day.

It was Luca who, in order to ensure that Sofia could continue the Bonanno family's power, demanded that she swear to God that she would not remarry.

Such vows are certainly meaningless to someone like Rosen.

But Sophia was different; she had always been a devout Catholic. It was Rosen who used the power of God's words to make her strong enough to fight against Francis.

Therefore, this oath had a very significant effect on Sofia.

However, Sofia eventually swore an oath.

Because under those circumstances, if she refused Luca, it would mean that everything she had now could disappear.

Before falling asleep, Sofia cried and said that she would never be able to marry Rosen.

Although this may not be a bad thing for Rosen.

"Rosen, will you still accept me?"

"Of course! Marriage can't stop love, and I will always be by your side."

With Rosen's efforts, Sophia was finally coaxed to sleep.

Now Rosen slowly withdrew, preparing to leave the bedroom.

It was quite troublesome at first because Sofia was holding Rosen tightly with one hand.

Rosen didn't want to wake Sophia, so he had to slowly pry her hands open.

After escaping, Rosen quietly left Sofia's bedroom.

As soon as Rosen left Sophia's bedroom and closed the door, he saw a small head peeking out from around the corner.

"Audrey? What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't sleep and wanted to go find you, but I couldn't find you in your room, so I searched and searched and finally found you here."

O

Audrey walked over to Rosen with her hands behind her back and sniffed him. Sure enough, she could smell Sophia's scent on Rosen.

This discovery instantly caused the girl's delicate face to fall.

Rosen was somewhat helpless. He knew that his relationship with Sophia would definitely be discovered, but he didn't expect Audrey to notice it after only a few days.

The other servants in the manor probably realized long ago that not touching Sophia was definitely a wise choice.

Feelings are really hard to hide.

"Where's Eva?"

Audrey pouted as she answered Rosen.

"Eva said she would tell me a story, but she fell asleep while she was telling it."

Rosen was speechless. It was truly absurd that the storyteller could even make him fall asleep.

Eva: Are you going to curse me again?

"Mr. Rosen, so you really do have a relationship with Mrs. Bonanno?"

Theoretically, Audrey should now call Sophia her stepmother, but Sophia looks very young, seemingly only a few years older than herself, so Audrey can't bring herself to call her that and continues to address her as "Madam."

"Audrey, it's not what you think. Mr. Bonanno suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, and Mrs. Bonanno lost her support and felt insecure. I was just trying to comfort her."

Rosen tried to explain and get away with it, but Audrey's next words surprised him greatly.

"It's just emotional infidelity, what's so strange about it? I've seen plenty of it back in Shuangfeng Town! I've seen both emotional and physical infidelity on different people!"

(Shuangfeng Town is known locally as the "Green Hat Town" XD)

Rosen paused for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Wasn't Audrey supposed to be from a small town? How come even small towns have such extravagant lifestyles?

After a moment, Rosen came to his senses and quickly denied Audrey's statement.

"Ahem! Audrey, you can't say things like that carelessly. It will damage Madam's reputation, which is extremely important to her right now!"

Audrey continued to approach Rosen, looking up at him.

The girl was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, much shorter than Rosen, so she had to tilt her head back to look Rosen in the eye.

Seeing Audrey's face so closely, she was indeed a rare beauty, and her classical charm was truly alluring.

The premise is that you don't speak; once you start speaking, this classical charm is completely ruined.

"I'll keep quiet, but only if you kiss me!"

Yes, she has the face of a classic European beauty, but her heart is still that of an American girl.

Rosen restrained his desires and took a step back. Bonanno Manor was already chaotic enough; he didn't want to make things worse.

"I'm sorry, Audrey, I don't think it's the right time to talk about these things."

This action clearly disappointed Audrey, and she became somewhat agitated.

"Mr. Rosen, is there anything about me that Mrs. Bonanno lacks? Is it my appearance or my figure?"

Audrey began tearing at her thin nightgown, wanting to show off her figure.

Rosen caught a glimpse and discovered that Audrey's figure was even more voluptuous than he had imagined, completely unlike what one would expect for her age.

It's just that I was usually kept in the dark by the other person's simple small-town attire.

Especially when he accidentally saw a red dot, Rosen quickly grabbed Audrey's hand.

"Audrey, let's get out of here first!"

Audrey's voice was a bit loud just now; I wonder if it woke Sophia up.

To avoid making things more complicated, Rosen had no choice but to pull Audrey into the living room.

"Mr. Rosen, don't you like me?"

Looking at Audrey's misty yet stubborn eyes, Rosen felt a headache coming on.

Rosen gritted his teeth and placed his hand on Audrey's shoulder.

"Audrey, you are young and beautiful, no normal man would dislike you."

"But you don't seem to like me at all?"

Audrey was still somewhat skeptical; she seemed to be caught in a state of self-doubt.

After all, this girl had just come to a big city like Los Angeles from a small town on the outskirts, and she might be feeling inferior.

Seeing Sofia and Eva's stylish outfits, Audrey must have felt somewhat insecure.

Left with no other choice, Rosen had to let Audrey see her charm.

"Look down."

Audrey looked down in confusion and saw a horrifying shape, which made her cover her mouth and gasp in surprise.

Although Rosen suppressed his inner impulses, he couldn't control the changes in his body.

"Audrey, don't doubt your charm, you are truly outstanding! But I think you might be feeling insecure because you're new to the big city, and this insecurity might be causing you to have these strange feelings towards me. Go back and calm down; maybe you'll change your mind in a few days."

Rosen is just trying to stall for time.

If we can get through this critical period and wait until Sofia truly gains control of the Bonanno family, things will be much easier to resolve.

However, Audrey didn't seem to be listening to what Rosen was saying at all.

The girl suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Rosen on the nose.

"I now believe you and Mrs. Bonanno didn't do anything! Hehe!"

After saying that, Audrey turned and ran towards the guest room.

Rosen touched his nose, somewhat speechless.

Was I sexually assaulted?

(Audrey Bonanno)

Being provoked by two great beauties, Sophia and Audrey, made Rosen very uncomfortable.

I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and only managed to doze off for a short while as dawn broke.

There's nothing we can do; young people are just too full of energy.

The next morning, Rosen hurriedly left after breakfast, because Audrey's gaze was simply too obvious.

The girl didn't hear a word Rosen said last night.

It seems that instead of calming down, they've gotten even more deeply involved.

Sophia seemed preoccupied and didn't pay any attention to Audrey, otherwise who knows what other trouble she might have caused.

As usual, Rosen went out for a stroll with Leverti. Today was Rosen's last day going out with him to attend a small gathering.

Most of the Bonanno family's official members now know about the new member, Rosen, and he can now enter Bonanno family territory simply by using his facial recognition.

In the afternoon, Rosen changed his appearance and found Donnie.

"Hello Donnie, my name is Jack Cole. Mr. Rosen sent me to find you."

Donnie frowned as he looked at Rosen's new look; he felt there was something odd about the thin man's demeanor.

Donnie's past experience as an undercover agent made him hesitant to immediately trust the other party.

After all, Rosen is no longer an unknown figure; at least many people within the Bonanno family know of him.

How do I know you're really one of Rosen's men?

"Wait, let me make a phone call."

Rosen pulled out a new phone and dialed a number right in front of Donnie.

A moment later, Donnie's familiar voice came through the phone.

"Hello, this is Rosen."

"Mr. Rosen, this is Jack Cole. I've found Mr. Blasco, but he doesn't quite trust me."

"Donnie's caution is not wrong. What we are doing does require caution! Donnie, Jack is a trustworthy man. He has a life-or-death bond with me. You can completely trust him."

Since Rosen said so on the phone, Donnie naturally believed Jack Cole.

"I understand, Rosen."

"Mr. Rosen, you can continue with your work. I'm hanging up now."

Rosen quickly hung up the phone and looked at Donnie with a grin.

"Now you believe me, right?"

Donnie nodded. Little did he know that Rosen had prepared a pre-recorded phone call, pre-setting the context and content to deceive him.

However, Downey still has one question.

"Did something happen with Rosen? Why didn't he introduce you to me himself?"

"Mr. Blasco, you must have heard about what's been happening with the Bonanno family lately, right?"

Donnie nodded.

"Mr. Rosen has discovered that someone is following him these past two days, and out of caution, he has decided not to personally participate in the upcoming tasks. I will take his place."

The tracking is real. When Rosen and Levitt went out to attend the rally today, they felt a lot of strange looks.

Rosen guessed that someone was watching him, but he didn't know which side it was.

As someone close to Sophia, it was only a matter of time before Rosen was being monitored and followed. He found it strange that the other party was only starting to act now.

Therefore, it was inevitable that he would change his image to take on a job at St. Martin's Bank.

Donnie suddenly realized and agreed with Rosen's statement.

"I see. Then there's really no way I can show up. Let's go to Duloto Cafe first."

Donnie led Rosen to the Duroto Cafe.

With Donnie acting as an introducer, Rosen's new image was quickly accepted by the Toledo gang.

As expected, Rosen did not see Mia in the coffee shop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a video taken inside the San Martin Bank. You can take a look."

Rosen put the video of the St. Martin's Bank incident into a VCR and played it on the television inside the coffee shop.

Jesse was amazed by the details in the video.

"Wow, how did you do that?"

"Hehe! It's all thanks to Mr. Rosen's extensive network that I was able to get this firsthand information."

Everyone watched the video carefully, but apart from remembering the locations of some surveillance cameras and alarms, and the shocking amount of gold in the underground vault, they had no other thoughts.

"Jack, we've finished watching the video, so what's next?"

Rosen looked at Dominic helplessly.

"What I'm about to say is the key point, so please remember it."

The video was switched to the vault section, and Rosen pointed to the vault walls on the television and began to explain.

"Look here, this line is clearly a waterline. The wall color above the waterline is completely different from the wall color below it. What does this mean?"

Dominic quickly realized what was happening.

"This means the vault was flooded!"

"Yes! The vault door is a 50-centimeter-wide sealed metal door. Water couldn't have gotten in from the outside; it's only possible that there was a problem with the internal structure of the vault, causing the flooding!"

And it wasn't just ordinary flooding; the waterline on the walls was almost a meter high, enough to drown a Yordle.

(Teemo is 113 cm tall)

These words instantly reminded Donnie of the work Rosen had assigned him before.

"Rosen asked me to find the sewer route map for St. Martin's Bank. Did he already know about this?"

A strange smile appeared on Rosen's pale face.

"Yes, Mr. Rosen did obtain this information, but he needed to confirm it, which is why he has these videos."

Everyone was immediately impressed by Rosen's intelligence capabilities.

Dominic, in particular, felt that Toledo's previous jobs had been done too sloppily.

"Jack, what should we do now?"

"I have part of the preparation plan provided by Mr. Rosen here. First, we need to determine which wall the exterior wall of the St. Martin's Bank underground vault connects to the sewer system. This must be completed as soon as possible, as it is related to the next steps."

Dominic nodded, then turned to look at Vince.

"Vince, go help Donnie with this. It'll be faster if the two of you work together."

"Okay, Mr. Tang."

Seeing that Dominic had finished arranging the work, Rosen then brought up another matter.

"The second thing is about moving the gold."

That's five tons of gold. Even a small forklift can't lift that weight, so moving gold is a huge problem.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

"Actually, Mr. Rosen already has a preliminary plan, but it's not certain whether it will succeed; it needs to be tested."

"Jack, you should have said so earlier! Leave the testing to me!"

Dominic took on everything himself.

"Mr. Toledo, there's one more thing. Is Ms. Mia currently working at the San Martin Bank?"

Dominic's expression changed.

"How did you know?"
