Free Web NovelChapter 285: Chapter 285: Rosalind White Is Completely Panicked
Rosalind White looked at Adrian Law with suspicion and uncertainty, her palms trembled slightly, and ultimately she had to tentatively ask.
"Adrian, is it that the result for my bracelet came out, and you... believe me now?"
"That’s great! That’s great! Adrian, I just knew it, you definitely believe in Rosalind, right? Rosalind is so happy..."
She grinned with extreme joy, her smile bright and innocent, like a child who knows nothing.
However, Rosalind still had a layer of tears in the corners of her eyes, her eye sockets were red, and this smile mixed with tears, the crystal clarity in her eyes made others feel pity.
Beauty and showing weakness have always been a woman’s best weapons, and Rosalind has always firmly believed in this, practicing this life credo to the extreme.
...
However, Adrian’s indifferent voice sounded from above, his lukewarm demeanor instantly shattered Rosalind’s confidence.
"When did I ever say I believed you?"
Indeed, Adrian had always asked questions; from beginning to end, the so-called belief or disbelief was nothing but her imagination.
Rosalind stared blankly at Adrian Law, the feeling of being slapped in the face directly like this was not something she wanted to experience again.
But since she had already spoken, Rosalind had to give an awkward smile, pretending to be innocent and not understanding.
"Adrian, don’t scare Rosalind, okay? Rosalind is timid, and her health isn’t good, she really can’t take a shock."
"No one noticed you were timid when you slammed your head against the pillar."
Adrian Law’s voice was bland as he directly tore through Rosalind’s pretense.
Rosalind hid her hands under the blanket, clenching her fists tightly, yet her face showed a look on the verge of tears, with a faint film of tears in her eyes.
"Adrian... how can you be so harsh to me..."
She sobbed, her voice a bit hoarse, but it only added to her fragile beauty, making her appear as delicate as an orchid battered by wind and rain, so frail and pitiful.
"You know very well how things stand."
Adrian glanced coldly at Rosalind, not swayed in the least by her beautiful, fragile facade.
He took Cecilia Vaughn’s hand.
"Cecilia, let’s go. Mimi is still at Prescott Hospital, we should go see her."
Go see Mimi...
So, even though she was so gravely injured, in Adrian’s heart, she was not even as important as a pet cat Cecilia had...
Rosalind felt like she had been struck by lightning, standing dazedly in place like a wooden stake.
...
With two people missing in the ward, it instantly became much lonelier.
Rosalind stared directly at Stacy Summers, the plea in her eyes almost overflowing.
"I slammed my head because I couldn’t take being slandered, Grandma, do you not believe me either?"
Someone as sharp as Stacy Summers could easily see that Rosalind was trying to use her as a pawn in her game now.
How could the child she watched grow up turn into this...
Stacy Summers sighed.
"Rosalind, you’re tired, don’t speak nonsense anymore. The doctor said you need more rest. Grandma will leave with Adrian now, you have a good rest, and I’ll have Butler White come see you tonight."
Stacy is leaving?!
Rosalind panicked instantly when she heard those words!
"Grandma, Rosalind isn’t tired, please don’t abandon Rosalind!"
She leaned helplessly against the wall, crying out with tears streaming like a weeping pear blossom.
"Grandma, I don’t want Dad to know, Grandma, please stay and keep me company for a while longer..."
—She wagered with her own life, and even went to such risky lengths, yet Stacy Summers didn’t defend her as she had hoped!
In the Law Family, besides her life-saving favor for Adrian and being proclaimed the Daughter of Destiny, what she relied on was The Matriarch of the Law Group’s favor!
Frank Law may be the current Family Head, but he is very filial towards his mother, Stacy Summers. As for Preston Law, who is always away, aside from being elusive, his feelings for Stacy are genuine. That kind of unswerving devotion, remaining unchanged for decades, is rare in the entire high society.
Stacy Summers was Preston Law’s first love, and it was an arranged meeting. Everyone thought Preston and Stacy wouldn’t hit it off, given one was rigid and upright, and the other lively as a cat.
Unexpectedly, Preston and Stacy quickly started a relationship, got their marriage certificate within half a year, stunning many people.
Even after marriage, there were envious remarks amongst society’s elite, predicting they would divorce, but the reality was Preston pampered Stacy for a lifetime, surprising everyone.
...
Yet now, Rosalind found that Stacy’s attitude towards her had changed!
Her mind was so sensitive and delicate, losing the favor of this pillar meant her status in the Law Family would definitely plummet!
"Grandma, please don’t go! Rosalind is scared..."
Rosalind fearfully clutched Stacy’s arm; this time she wasn’t pretending, she was genuinely panicking!
Losing a golden support, such a cost, she couldn’t afford it now!
Yet Stacy just gave her a deep look and didn’t agree; instead, she slowly pried Rosalind’s hand off her own.
"Rosalind, you’re not a child anymore, you need to think carefully before doing some things."
"If you think you’re still young, then you should study more. I think Vesperia is quite good. Don’t you like Vesperian culture? Grandma can send someone to take you to Vesperia for further study, from a master’s to a doctorate, you’ll become clear-headed..."
Is this suggesting to exile her from Veridia?
Rosalind’s beautiful eyes widened, her heart feeling almost squeezed.
"No! Grandma, I want to stay with you!"
"Do you really wish to accompany this old-bones of mine?"
Stacy stood by the window, casting a meaningful glance at Rosalind.
"Rosalind, you’re grown up, already a charming girl in her twenties, it’s time to get married."
"Grandma doesn’t have such a vast sky to keep you, if you don’t want to study further in Vesperia, then once you’re better, Grandma will arrange some matchmaking for you. I think the young scion of the Sinclair Family seems nice."
This is definitely a threat, isn’t it? To drive her out of the Law Family?!
"No, Grandma..."
Rosalind’s heart skipped a beat, immediately filled with a sense of foreboding, wanting to say something more, but Stacy was resolute and left.
The Matriarch of The Law Group had never been one for soft temperaments. In the past, it was just because of the pain of losing Cecilia that she overly doted on Rosalind.
Seeing Stacy’s icy resolve, Rosalind felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her, thoroughly sobering her up.
She had relied on the Law Family for years, basked in glory, envied by others, Rosalind never thought there was anything wrong with that.
But what if she’s driven out of the Law Family?!
No, she couldn’t allow such a thing to happen!
Rosalind clenched her teeth and immediately dialed a number—
