Rosalie suddenly didn't know what to say. Her mother-in-law's attitude change was too drastic. So, why had she been so nice to Cynthia? Was it just to hit her hard at this moment, or had she been speaking sarcastically? Rosalie couldn't understand.Unable to hold back any longer, Cynthia hurriedly said, "Aunt, I also looked at the divorce papers. Theo really did give her a lot, especially since they've only been married for a year. Not many men are as generous as him. And anyway, Rosalie doesn't seem to have done anything for the Spencer family, so...""What do you consider as contributing to the family, Ms. Zeller?" Sydney frowned, seeming somewhat displeased. "Do you think dividing property in a marriage depends on contributions? Do you think marriage is a job where the more you do, the more you get paid? Are you likening Rose to a nanny?"Though momentarily stunned, Cynthia quickly recovered and said, "Aunt, that's not what I meant."Sydney smiled. "I know you definitely didn't

As they reached the door, Rosalie felt uneasy."Mom, she only has one lung, and has heart problems too. If something happens...""Let whatever happens, happen. If Theo gets angry, let him come to me. And if he blames you, just divorce him. What's so impressive about him?" Sydney replied sharply."Mom, are you okay? What's wrong with you?"Rosalie was worried at how agitated Sydney seemed. She had never seen her mother-in-law lose control like this, and couldn't believe the older woman had this kind of side to her."I'm fine," said Sydney, calming down. "You go back and get some rest. You need to take care of yourself. I don't think Cynthia is as weak as she pretends to be. I've seen plenty of women like her, always exaggerating their suffering. Women like her can only rely on men's sympathy to assert themselves.""Why did you call both of us out today, Mom? Was it just to scold Cynthia?" Rosalie asked."I wanted to see what kind of person she is. Men are all the same. They like

After neatly folding the clothes in her hands and placing them on her lap, Rosalie said, "No need. You can do whatever you want with it. I don't want it."It was better to clarify things. She didn't want the boundaries between them to remain unclear.Frowning, Theodore withdrew his hand. "You don't want this bracelet just because you think Cindy asked me to buy it. Let me make it clear to you. I bought this bracelet on my own. Cindy didn't know about it at first. She just happened to see it and asked about it, saying it would suit you well. I didn't buy it because she suggested it."Rosalie paused slightly, thinking about what Cynthia had said previously, which was completely opposite to what Theodore was saying now. She felt it was ridiculous how easily she had been influenced by Cynthia's words, perhaps because she was already so disappointed in Theodore."She even saw the gift you bought for me, huh? It seems like you two are really close. She seems to know everything about you,

Cynthia had cut her wrists, but luckily, she had been found in time and was saved. Now, she lay silently in bed, feeling very aggrieved and crying non-stop, no matter how much Theodore tried to get her to talk to him.Finally, she managed to say, "Theo, don't bother about me anymore. Just live well with Rosalie. Let's not meet again.""Cindy, I'll ask you one last time, what happened? If you don't tell me now, I'll get angry."Cynthia always kept her grievances bottled up inside, but every time she saw Theodore truly angry, she would tell the truth.Cynthia sobbed as she choked out, "The Spencer family won't accept me. This afternoon...""What happened this afternoon? Tell me quickly.""Theo, this afternoon your mother, Rosalie, and I had lunch together.""What?"Theodore was surprised. He thought it was only Rosalie and his mother who had lunch together. No one had told him about Cynthia being there."I was happy when I received your mother's call. She said she wanted to have

Rosalie felt like her heart had been torn in two. Blinded? Yes, it had been ten years, yet he didn't even know who she really was. They had known each other for ten years, yet their time together couldn't compare to Cynthia's lie.Theodore believed everything Cynthia said and completely ignored Rosalie's explanations. In these ten years, not only had Theodore been blinded, Rosalie had also been blinded!"Come with me to the hospital and apologize to Cindy!" Theodore handed her a coat from the rack and pulled her out the door."I won't apologize to her, even if you take me there!"Theodore didn't say anything and just led Rosalie to the car.When they arrived at the hospital, Theodore firmly grasped her wrist and coldly reminded her, "When you see Cindy later, you're not allowed to say anything to upset her.""I won't say anything. You want me to apologize to her? Dream on!""You have to apologize to her!" Theodore's pace quickened. "Otherwise, I won't let it go.""What are you
