Rosalind thought back and realized it was true!
At that time, she was being harassed by Mr. Wong from Huayi Enterprises, and Ulric suddenly appeared and rescued her!
In the chaos, Rosalind didn’t think much about how Ulric managed to arrive so promptly, nor did she consider the implications!
“Moreover, after the incident, Ulric gave up the opportunity to use this leverage to threaten Huayi Enterprises into backing down because he was worried they might reveal what happened to you,” Johnny paused, looking at her. “I think you know what happens to a woman if such a thing gets out.”
She would be labeled for life! A strange label!
Even though she did nothing wrong, she would become the subject of gossip, and some might even fabricate other reasons, like suspecting Rosalind of intentionally seducing Mr. Wong.
Having been in the workplace for quite some time, Rosalind understood this well.
“Why didn’t Ulric tell me any of this…”
“How would I know? Ask him yourself! And that’s not all, he’s done so much for you, yet you’ve done nothing for him. You even found another man to replace Ulric as your boyfriend! If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have had that car accident.”
Rosalind pressed her lips together and frowned, “I had my reasons!”
“I don’t want to know your reasons. I’m here today to tell you that Ulric has already sacrificed a lot for you. Since you’ve never cared about him, you should let go and divorce him quickly! Stop putting him in a difficult position.”
“…”
“Ulric’s mother has been rushed to the emergency room three times, all because of you.”
Rosalind stood frozen in place, Johnny’s words overturned many of her beliefs!
She could feel that Ulric liked her and was sincere, but she never imagined he had done so much for her behind the scenes! And she had always taken it for granted.
Even Cedric had noticed, but she had never thought about it!
“I… I initially thought his beloved was Sirena…”
All signs pointed to Sirena, not herself!
“What were you thinking? Rosalind, if you had put a little effort into understanding Ulric, you would have known how serious he is about you! Stop making excuses, I won’t listen.” Johnny took a deep breath and continued, “It’s pointless to talk about anything else now. Since you can’t reciprocate his feelings, divorce him quickly.”
Even after returning to Tilda’s house, Rosalind’s mind kept replaying Cedric and Johnny’s words.
Everything that happened today made her feel like her world was turned upside down!
On an impulse, Rosalind dialed Ulric’s number.
She didn’t even know what she wanted to say if he answered, but… she just suddenly wanted to hear Ulric’s voice!
After a few rings, the call connected.
Ulric’s voice sounded unusually tired, low and hoarse.
He used to stay up late working often, pulling all-nighters, but he had never sounded this exhausted.
“What’s wrong?”
“I…” Rosalind moved her lips but didn’t know what to say, “I wanted to ask what you’re doing.”
“I’m at the hospital.”
Just as Rosalind was about to say something else, she heard what seemed to be Sirena’s voice on the other end.
“What’s wrong? Ulric, this time you’ve gone too far, she’s your mother!”
