Chapter 336
Although Geoffrey might eventually learn about her relationship with Sydney, her priority right now was to save Sebastian. She would deal with this problem later.
“The relationship is not the main point here. What’s important is that you believe her. If you still have doubts, you can hire a professional to thoroughly analyze all the data. If I can figure it out, I believe they can
too.
“Regent Co.’s methods aren’t particularly sophisticated. They just took advantage of good timing and the regulatory authorities‘ negligence. Many companies are operating this way. They think they can get away with it, but it’s just a matter of time before they’re exposed. I’m sure the short–sellers have already set their sights on Regent Co.”
Geoffrey turned around. “Phillip.”
Phillip stepped forward. “Yes, sir?”
Geoffrey passed him the wooden stick, instructing him to put it back in its place.
When she saw the stick being taken away, Rosalie finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Sebastian was safe for today.
Geoffrey stared at Rosalie for a long time. Could this little girl be her daughter?
“How old are you?” he suddenly asked.
Rosalie replied, “I’m twenty–one.”
“Twenty–one. That’s good.”

Despite saying that, deep down, he felt a hint of disappointment. She was only twenty–one.
Seeing their father’s change in attitude, both Sebastian and Yvonne were confused. Just moments ago, their father had been ruthless- but now, he seemed completely different.
Geoffrey turned around, walked back to the sofa, and sat down. He
rested his elbow on the small table next to the armrest. He then held
his forehead with one hand, and waved his other hand.
“You all can leave now. I’m a bit tired.”
Rosalie was overjoyed. She grabbed Sebastian’s arm, and whispered, ” Let’s go now.”
She needed to get Sebastian out of there before Geoffrey changed his,
mind.
Yvonne grabbed Sebastian’s other arm. The two girls successfully rescued Sebastian, leaving the living room with only Geoffrey and Phillip.
After putting away the stick, Phillip made a cup of hot tea and brought it to Geoffrey. “Sir, Madam just called. She said she won’t be coming home tonight, and will stay at her sister’s place.”
Geoffrey sighed softly. “Let her be.”
“Sir, is your head hurting again? Should I call Dr. Zabel?”
Geoffrey waved his hand. “No need, I’m fine. Go on with your work.”
Phillip didn’t press further. He just bowed, and then left.
The living room was now empty, with only Geoffrey sitting there looking desolate.

After the three left the villa, Rosalie stopped, raised her hand, and gently touched Sebastian’s forehead. “Does it hurt? We should get it treated at the hospital.”
The blood on his forehead had already dried.
Sebastian shook his head, looking worried. “I’m fine. But Rose, today you…”
Suddenly, Rosalie was stuck by a wave of dizziness. She held her forehead, but then her body swayed, and she almost fell.
Sebastian quickly wrapped his arm around her waist, steadying her. Rose! What’s wrong?”
Rosalie shook her head. “I’m fine, just a bit dizzy.”
“Are you feeling unwell? You seemed a bit off when you arrived,” Yvonne said.
“Really?” Sebastian was even more concerned now. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier? You shouldn’t have pushed yourself to talk to my father. Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Rosalie instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that a life was growing inside of her now. Concerned for the baby’s safety, she didn’t refuse and nodded.
