Rose had never been on a trial before, especially one dealing with an inheritance, which technically should be something simple. However, she was starting that in the world of billionaires, which she was also a part of because of Aaron, this was not something unusual, since there were so many lawyers specializing in this issue, who were now sitting on opposite sides of the front rows, facing the judge and the bailiff who were organizing themselves up ahead.Sitting where she was, holding Aaron's hand, and in the same row as Adele Jullian, Rose could see very clearly the serious face of Andy, who appeared to be reviewing something in the papers that the rest of the lawyers representing the Vamcaps had handed her. She had been so distant from her family lately... Rose liked to believe it was because she was just too focused on studying all the processes that had happened so far and finding the best way to intercede on her family's behalf. That's why she was away from home so much

With that same sobbing victim posture and the damned handkerchief pressed against her eyes, Hazel walked over to where her husband had been sitting earlier, making whimpering sounds that sounded pathetic to Rose's ears.“Take it easy, Mrs. Vamcap...” the lawyer sighed, as if in pity “Soon this will all be over.”"All right..." Hazel took a deep breath, like she was about to pass out or something "Ask me anything you want."“Mrs. Vamcap, do you have any memories from the time when she was still having an extramarital relationship with her husband that might corroborate what he just said?”“Oh yes, unfortunately yes…” Hazel whimpered “Poor Imogen… I felt so bad for being in love with Alphonse, even though their marriage was nothing more than a contract… I always considered her a victim, but now… I realize how wrong I was. You know, one of the days when I was at the Vamcap house, at Al

With those words, a hubbub settled mainly among Alphonse and Hazel's lawyers, while Aaron and their entire family turned to see that man named Gabriel get up from where he was and start walking towards where his father was leaving, with an expression so cold and serious that it was impossible to know what he was thinking, even though his blue eyes did not leave Andy for even an instant.“What is this motherfucker doing here?!” Aaron snarled and Rose realized that he only now seemed to have realized who the other man accompanying Edgar was.“I thought he was the one Andy went to talk to, to try to resolve this whole situation.” Rose muttered, confused not only by what all the anger was about, but what else Andy would have to get with the Ferrars, now that Edgar was done talking."Yes, but she didn't tell me she was going to bring him here…" Aaron complained, looking possessed, as Gabriel finally sat down on the small lectern, his gaze sti

Even after Edgar and Aaron's visit had spent a long time immersed in the thoughts of their mother that were written in the small notebook, the hour still passed more slowly than was humanly possible. Even Rose, who had convinced herself that she needed to be strong for the Vamcap and be the only one there not to get too excited, was already terribly distressed when the clock finally announced that the break period was over.More tense than ever, the four walked through the corridors back to the court, but as soon as they arrived at the door, they ended up finding something that Rose did not expect, but, considering everything she had discovered that day, was even expected: Andy and Gabriel were standing next to the court door, talking in whispers. And the expression on her sister-in-law's face wasn't good at all.“I cannot understand you, Ferrars.” Rose was finally able to understand Andy's clearly frustrated grunt, when they got close enough, “I gave you

“Mommy, mommy, look!” Rose turned in time to see Alec running towards her, as usual with Nick happily at her heels, a piece of paper that was almost the size of her in his hands "I finished my poster for my school's Family Day!"“Good, dear!” she celebrated, quickly taking out the batch of colorful cookies that she was baking inside one of the ovens in her bakery, opening her arms to welcome her son still with the oven gloves “Oh, Alec, I know you are excited to show me the drawing, but don't rush in here like that, okay? The space is very small and you could end up tripping over something and getting hurt.” Rose kissed his cheek, which every day seemed to be getting less rounded and childish, before lifting the other edge of the cardboard, so she could look at him “Is this us? It looks so beautiful, darling.” she sighed, enchanted, even though she didn't know if it was just her mother's eyes or if her son really had a very promis
