“Do you want me to stand on your side?” Rosalie said. “Theodore Spencer, you know that’s impossible.”
“Will you forgive Sebastian no matter what he does? If he killed me, would you forgive him too?”
“He wouldn’t kill you,” Rosalie said. “Don’t make it sound so serious.”
“Rosalie Young, you can’t be so biased. How could you be so calm and side with him even after knowing how despicable Sebastian was in framing me? I’m utterly disappointed in you! Sebastian is clearly a wicked man, and you clearly know the truth, how could you…”
“Don’t call him wicked! He did something wrong, but before you even showed me the surveillance footage, he had already confessed to me that he fell on purpose! I didn’t find out by watching the footage, Seb took the initiative to admit his mistake to me!”
“What did you say?” Theodore said with disbelief. “He admitted it himself?”
“Yes! After admitting his mistake to me, I did feel angry—but come to think of it, you had a big part to play in this as well.”
Theodore remained silent for a long while. He didn’t believe that Sebastian dared to confess what he did.
His first thought was that Rosalie must be lying to him to explain away what Sebastian did, and defend him.
But he knew the kind of person Rose was, and that she wouldn’t lie to him. Did Sebastian really tell Rosalie the truth before he texted her?
Did Sebastian suddenly recall the surveillance cameras in the restaurant, and deliberately confessed to Rosalie so that he had the first-mover advantage?
No matter what happened, it was clear that Sebastian succeeded.
“Theo, let’s call an end to this. No matter who’s in the right or who’s in the wrong, let’s not continue harping on this. I’m hanging up.”
“Wait.” Theodore stopped her.
With that, Rosalie hung up.
She exhaled long and hard, and sat down weakly on the bed.
“Theodore Spencer, you’re clearly the one with double standards. How many times have you forgiven Cynthia?”

In the restaurant, Geoffrey put down his tea cup and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to ask me out. When I received your call, I thought I was dreaming.”
Sydney smiled. “Chairman Carter, I’ll cut straight to the chase. I’m here to talk about your son and Rose’s marriage. I want you to tell me what exactly is going on between them.”
Geoffrey arched a brow. “You really care a lot for your ex-daughter-in-law. You’re acting like she’s your very own daughter!”
