Chapter 357
After hearing Rosalie out, Sydney fell silent.
Her first thought was that Theodore was in trouble.
As it turned out, Rosalie stayed up the entire night reading through the documents to identify the problem with Regent Co. not for his sake at all. Quite the opposite-she did it for Sebastian.
Sydney suddenly laughed, the sound laced with helplessness and irony.
Theodore wasn’t the only one who misunderstood the situation. She did, too. She really thought that Rosalie did it for her son, but she never expected…
Rosalie clearly had her priorities in place, more so than Sydney did in her younger days. The girl might look weak and vulnerable, but she had a clear mind and knew exactly what she needed to do.
Meanwhile, Rosalie didn’t understand why Sydney was laughing. “Mom? What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Sydney said, looking at Rosalie. “So Geoffrey Carter threatened you with his son, and you accepted it because you care about his son very soon?”
“Seb’s a good friend of mine,” Rosalie explained. “I can’t sit idly by and watch that happen to him, so I’ll help wherever I can. But it’s fine if you’re not willing to do it. I’ll think of another way.”
“No need for that,” Sydney said. “Tell him that I’ll meet him.”
Joy filled Rosalie’s heart. “Really? Mom, you’re okay with seeing him?”
Sydney nodded. “Go ahead and tell him that.”
“But Mom,” Rosalie said, as the smile faded from her face, “I don’t want to force you to do this. If you’re very resistant to the idea, you don’t need to meet him.”
“There’s nothing to be resistant to,” Sydney said calmly. “There’s no harm in getting to know a big shot, anyway.”
“Why did you reject me in the first place?”
Rosalie didn’t understand. Sydney had rejected her so firmly at the start, and she even sounded disgusted with the idea. Why did she suddenly change her mind and agree to it so readily?
At times, Sydney’s mood swings confused Rosalie.
“I didn’t think so much about it, but now that I’ve given it a second thought, I think it’s beneficial and
helpful to me, so I’ve changed my mind.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Since Sydney put it that way, Rosalie decided there was no point pursuing the matter further. She nodded and said ‘Alright, then. I’ll tell him about it Thank you, Mom.” Content

“You don’t need to thank me. To be honest, what you’ve done made me see you in a different light.”
“What do you mean by that, Mom?” Rosalie asked, confused.
“You worked so hard for Sebastian. I thought it was for Theo at first.”
Rosalie smiled helplessly. “It had nothing to do with him, Mom.”
“If something like this happened to Theo one day, would you do the same for him too?” Sydney asked.
After a moment’s silence, Rosalie
said, “There are many people willing to do that for him. I won’t make any difference. He never needed me, and I’ve now come to realize that. I never flatter myself into thinking otherwise.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
She said it very calmly, but her voice carried firm resolution. It left no room for negotiation.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Sydney sighed. “Alright, then. I understand. Go back home, and I’ll call you once I’ve cleaned things up around here.”
Rosalie nodded. “Okay, call me if there’s anything. I can come anytime.”
Since Sydney didn’t want her around, she wouldn’t stay on and bother her.
Sydney waved her away and leaned against the head of the bed, feeling all spent.
After leaving Sydney’s place, Rosalie called Wesley.
He immediately asked, “How is Sydney? Did you see her?”
