Faced with Audrey’s “plea,” Sirena did not respond. She merely lowered her eyelashes, her conflicted expression convincing anyone who saw it.
“If we do this, Ulric will resent us… He’ll be even less inclined to marry me, and we might not even remain friends.”
“I understand, I understand everything! You don’t need to get involved. Since I said I would ensure you marry into the Walters family, I’ll pave the way for you,” Audrey naturally understood Sirena’s concerns.
If Sirena interfered too much in breaking up Ulric and Rosalind, even if she married into the Walters family later, Ulric would have a barrier in his heart against her as his wife. He would see her as the villain who broke up a loving couple, thinking she had ulterior motives.
This would not be conducive to their future relationship as a couple!
But if Audrey played the villain, it would be different! A son can’t hold a grudge against his own mother forever.
The purpose achieved, Sirena had come today mainly for Audrey’s promise! But the act had to be played out fully.
She looked at Audrey worriedly, “Don’t damage the relationship between you and your son! It’s not worth it for me.”
“I think it’s very worth it! Should I just watch my son be deceived by this Rosalind? Watch her possibly step into the Walters family’s door in the future?” Audrey sneered, “In her dreams!”
“Thank you for always supporting me! No matter what happens between Ulric and me in the future, I will always regard you as my own mother.”
Audrey patted her hand with satisfaction, then suddenly paused and raised an eyebrow.
“By the way, you just mentioned… Rosalind’s mother is seriously ill?”
“Yes.”
Audrey didn’t say anything more, but after Sirena left, she made a phone call.
“Investigate Rosalind’s mother, in detail.”
She knew her own son well! Forcing him to let go might indeed damage their relationship, but… if some means were used to make Rosalind withdraw voluntarily, never contacting her son again, or even disappearing completely, that would be different!
Then everything would be easier to handle.
…
In the restaurant, Ulric sat opposite her.
Even after a long and exhausting day, he skillfully ordered a table full of Rosalind’s favorite dishes.
She realized that Ulric knew her even better than she had imagined.
But the more he did this, the more Rosalind felt that this absurd situation had to end! What if Ulric suddenly asked her to swallow her pride for the sake of W Group and their relationship? What should she do then?
Should she really ruin her future and willingly become a woman supported by Ulric’s money?
“How are things in Fragrant Harbor?” Rosalind felt the atmosphere between them was awkward, so she forced a topic.
Ulric looked up at her, his thin lips moving slightly, “The project is fine, and your name hasn’t been removed.”
Rosalind was stunned, surprised, “Not removed? But W Group has already announced my dismissal, ”
“I didn’t say you were fired, what others say doesn’t count.”
“That was your father! The chairman of W Group!” That wasn’t just anyone!
“It seems you still don’t trust me.” Ulric sighed and spoke softly, “Before leaving, I said I would handle this matter and give you a satisfactory explanation.”
Rosalind furrowed her delicate brows, wanting to retort but ultimately remained silent.
How could she not trust him?
She wanted to trust him!
But with the internal announcement already made, how could she continue to believe?
