A few days later, Rosalie was sitting with Rebecca, knitting a sweater. These past few days, she had been spending time with Rebecca."Rose, when are you and Theo planning to divorce?" Rebecca asked.Rosalie smiled lightly. "Grandma, he's been a bit busy these days. We'll do it when he's less occupied. But don't worry. Even if I divorce him, I'll still come to see you often. You'll always be my grandmother.""I just want you to be happy soon. How busy can he be? He doesn't even have an hour to spare for a divorce."Before, it was Rebecca who didn't want them to divorce. Now, it seemed she was urging them to split up. A topic that used to be sensitive could now be discussed easily."He's indeed very busy, Grandma. There's a lot going on with the company, and as the CEO, there's a lot he has to take care of...""Enough," Rebecca interrupted her. "Don't hide things from me. I know he's in the hospital."Rosalie's heart skipped a beat. She looked up, the knitting needle almost prick

Cynthia smiled, and said, "I'm not yet married to Theo, so I naturally wouldn't assume the title of Mrs. Spencer. That would be unreasonable. Rosalie is the current Mrs. Spencer, and I understand that.""Understand?" Rebecca wiped her mouth with a napkin, and placed it on the table. "Ms. Zeller, you're indeed knowledgeable and reasonable enough to understand the situation concerning Theo's current wife."Cynthia wasn't dumb. She could sense the veiled implications in those words, but all she could do was maintain politeness and continue smiling.The Spencers didn't like her at all. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, it was futile. Well, as long as she clung to Theo, everything else didn't matter. The old lady was old, and would die soon anyway.She couldn't understand what was wrong with the Spencers. Had they lost their minds? Were they stubborn as mules? They only recognized Rose. She was just a poor and pathetic woman!Among the Spencers, it seemed only Theodore was

Cynthia was reduced to tears. “Theo, you must believe me. I swear I didn’t say that to Rosalie.”Theodore tried to speak up for Cynthia. “She’s already explained that she didn’t say that. Maybe Rose misheard her, and there was a misunderstanding.”“Misunderstanding? Ha ha ha…” Rebecca laughed. “What kind of misunderstanding will make her think that I want to harm her? Is she refusing to admit her own words? You think Rose might have misheard her, but I’m of the opinion that she’s changing her words now.”“Ma’am, how am I supposed to admit that I said something I didn’t? I’m not lying to you, I…”“Cynthia Zeller,” Rebecca cut her off, “I don’t care whether you’re slandering me or you’re hinting that I’m the one who did it. Either way, you’re sowing discord on purpose. Let me make myself clear. I did not stop you from going through the procedure. Even if you were just guessing, you’re maliciously trying to create a rift between me and Theodore. What a wicked woman you are!”“I’m not

“What about you? Do you also think Grandma was the one who did it?” Rosalie asked.“Yes,” Theodore answered, as his face grew cold. “Grandma did seem like the prime suspect at that time, so I thought she deliberately stopped Cindy’s operation so she could separate us.”Rosalie could feel her blood boiling. “You’re too much! How could you suspect your own grandmother? You’re such a let-down!”“How am I a let-down?” Theodore said in a suppressed tone. “As much as I suspected Grandma, did I confront her about it? Neither did I blame her nor mistreat her because of this. Is that not enough?”Rosalie was almost convinced by Theodore’s logic, which seemed sound. He didn’t blame Rebecca, despite thinking that she did the wrong thing.But… If he really trusted Rebecca, would he have suspected her immediately? Why would he suspect that his own family member would do something so horrendous?At the end of the day, Cynthia was the most important person to him.Why didn’t he suspect that Cy

Rosalie sat in the front passenger seat in the car while Theodore drove on in silence.There were a few times Rosalie had the urge to speak, but seeing Theodore remaining silent made her hold herself back.It felt like a competition in which the first to speak loses.Just as that thought popped into Rosalie’s mind, Theodore spoke up. “I hope you won’t think about what happened today again.”Rosalie furrowed her brows. “Then why are you mentioning it again?”“I just want to make things clear. I’ll look into what exactly happened with the operation.”Rosalie scoffed. “In that case, you’re admitting that you think Grandma did it even before investigating things.”Theodore said, “It is precisely because I think that Grandma’s the one that I didn’t go ahead with the investigations. Whatever it is, Cindy has already paid the price.”Rosalie sneered, “So, whatever she says is right and whatever she does will be forgiven, just because of her health condition?”“What if it were you?
