Chapter 229 Don't Stain That Word

Author: Rosie Steppe
Laura's trembling suddenly stopped, and she looked up at him in fear.

She couldn't speak, but her eyes could. Her gaze was waiting for his answer.

Ever since she woke up, she had been thinking about this very question. Why did Eric save her?

She had come up with countless answers, but only he could tell her the real reason.

Now that he was about to speak, she felt afraid and uneasy. Still, she knew she couldn't avoid it. From the moment she opened her eyes, what was meant to happen would inevitably unfold.

"You actually know the answer, don't you?" Eric lowered his gaze.

His striking looks were exactly her type. She was captivated at first sight seven years ago, and even now, he still burned in her soul.

Laura swallowed nervously. She knew that no matter how uneasy or scared she was, Eric would never feel a trace of compassion for her—just like seven years ago.

She shook her head, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Eric's gaze was void of pity as he watched her fall apart. "Lau

    There was a brief silence on the other end of the line."Rosalyn." Eric's voice suddenly turned deeper. "Twelve days gone, and this is the first thing you ask me?""What else?" Rosalyn shot back. "Should I have asked why you disappeared all of a sudden?"She immediately regretted it. That question sounded like it could be misinterpreted. Sure enough, Eric let out an 'oh', followed by a satisfied chuckle. "So, you were thinking about me all along."Rosalyn was speechless.She could practically picture his mischievous grin right now."I am thinking about you," Rosalyn said calmly. "I'm thinking about you getting the divorce papers signed."Eric laughed. "I'll just pretend I didn't take this call.""Eric!" Talking to him always made her feel on the verge of losing her temper. "Is it fun for you to drag this out?""Not at all." Eric suddenly grew serious. "Laura can speak now."Rosalyn blinked. "So soon?"She had asked Peter before and was told it would take months, at best. Yet

    Rosalyn smiled. There was a flicker of something in her eyes. "It's a purely professional relationship. I'm not the type to fall for every man.""Fair enough. Tim's still a notch below Eric." Wendy shrugged. Her tone suddenly grew serious. "But you need to watch out for Zoe. She's been hanging out with Sue a lot lately. Who knows what they're plotting."Rosalyn raised an eyebrow. "How do you know Zoe's up to something?""Darling, the Cromwell circle isn't that big," Wendy said before pulling out a lipstick to touch up. "Besides, Zoe's everywhere claiming she's an heiress in the Mobius family. It's hard not to notice."Rosalyn tapped the armrest lightly with her fingers. "Let her brag then.""You've got nerves of steel." Wendy put the lipstick away. "But Eric doesn't. This morning, he got a call from Delilah and went ballistic when he heard that Zoe went to see Sue."Rosalyn's heart clenched. "Zoe went to Hammond Mansion again? Why?""Who knows?" Wendy shrugged.Seeing Tim appro

    The signing ceremony at Apex Group went smoothly.Hubert enthusiastically introduced the project plan, and Tim brought up the issues they had discovered on-site yesterday. Both sides quickly agreed on the corrections, and the documents were signed without a hitch.Rosalyn remained quietly at the side, taking meticulous notes throughout.After the ceremony, Hubert suggested having lunch together, but Tim politely declined. "We have company matters to handle. We'll head straight to the airport."On the way to the airport, Rosalyn's phone vibrated.It was a message from Helen.[Heard you're heading back to Cromwell today? Safe travels.]Rosalyn wasn't particularly close with her, so the message was unnecessary, but she recognized it as a kind gesture.[Thank you.]After a brief pause, Rosalyn sent another text.[The wine last night was pretty good.]Helen quickly responded.[Next time I'll treat you to something even better, or when I visit you, you can treat me.]Rosalyn smi

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 305 Giving Her What's Left

    Morning sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains, and Rosalyn was jolted awake by her phone vibrating.Still half-asleep, she squinted and fumbled for her phone. A message from Zoe appeared on the screen.[DNA Test Report.]The bold characters stared back at her. Attached was proof of Zoe and Zayne's parent-child relationship, with a match rate of 99.99 percent.Whatever drowsiness she had left vanished instantly. Rosalyn sat up, scrolled through the report, skimmed the key details, and let out a cold chuckle.[Congratulations.]She replied to Zoe's message before tossing her phone aside.Less than three seconds later, it rang.Zoe's smug voice came through. "Rosalyn, you saw the report, didn't you? The old man's inheritance won't be yours alone."Rosalyn walked to the window and pulled the curtains open, letting the sunlight wash over her. "So?""The results show he also has two sons." Zoe's voice turned shrill. "Under inheritance law, you'll get only a quarter at mo

    Helen's smile stiffened for a brief moment. "Everyone says that I got where I am today with help from men.""But I know you did it on your own," Rosalyn cut in. "As for why you went along with Eric…"Rosalyn took a sip of her drink. "I understand how hard it's been for you."Helen clenched her fists suddenly, and her knuckles turned pale.She tilted her head back and drained the glass in one go. When she looked up again, the corners of her eyes were faintly red, but her voice remained steady. "Ms. Jones, you understand me better than I expected."Rosalyn smiled. "It's not about understanding. It's empathy. In this world, women have to work ten times harder than men just to prove themselves."Helen fell silent for a long time. She suddenly laughed. "Eric was right. You're a treasure."She retrieved her phone and waved it in front of Rosalyn. "Add me on Instagram?"Rosalyn added Helen on Instagram. Helen's profile picture was a gerbera daisy.That caught Rosalyn off guard. She h

    Just as Rosalyn and Tim reached the restaurant entrance, a figure in red blocked their way."Long time no see, Ms. Jones." Helen smiled as she extended her hand. "Do you remember me?"Rosalyn shook her hand politely. "Good evening, Ms. Sutton."Helen then turned to Tim and offered her hand as well. "Mr. Zahn, I've heard a great deal about you."Tim shook her hand briefly. "Ms. Sutton.""Since we've run into each other, it must be fate," Helen said with a charming smile. "Care to join me for a drink?"Tim shook his head. "Sorry, we still have work to do.""Another time then." Helen showed no trace of awkwardness and shifted her attention to Rosalyn. "Ms. Jones, I'll be frank. Are you interested in joining my company?"She glanced at Tim. "Working with men is inconvenient, after all. Why not come work with me instead?"Rosalyn hadn't expected her to be this direct. Helen was poaching her right in front of her boss, and with such confidence too.Rosalyn smiled. "Ms. Sutton, timi
