In other words, she didn’t want to sacrifice her last bit of dignity.
Sirena smiled after hearing this.
“You will beg me, because your father has already decided to target Rosalind.”
Ulric’s brow furrowed sharply, and for the first time, a look of shock appeared on his usually stern and handsome face. “What did you say?!”
“Ulric, you are not the same as you used to be,” Sirena paused. “You have a weakness now.”
Rosalind was his weakness!
Once a person has a weakness, they are no longer invincible and will have concerns.
After Sirena left, Ulric had just returned when he saw Rosalind hurrying out of the kitchen. “Something happened with my mother. I need to go over there! I can’t stay for dinner.”
“What happened?”
“I don’t know the specifics. The doctor called me and said she was agitated again and had a heart attack.”
Ulric immediately thought of what Sirena had just said. “I’ll go with you.”
“No need,” Rosalind looked up at him. “My mother hasn’t accepted you yet. I’m afraid if she wakes up and sees you, her emotions will become unstable again. Just wait for me at home. I’ll come back once she’s okay.”
“Then I’ll drive you to the hospital.”
Seeing his insistence, Rosalind couldn’t refuse and nodded.
When the car arrived at the hospital, Rosalind didn’t even have time to say goodbye before hurrying inside.
Ulric watched her figure disappear from sight, then stayed in the car and dialed his father’s number.
After a few rings, the call was answered.
“What is it?”
“Did you do something to Rosalind’s mother?”
Caesar just laughed without answering directly. “Son, when will you realize how big the gap is between you and that Rosalind? You two are not suitable.”
“I’ve said it before, Rosalind is my bottom line. Do not touch her!”
Ulric’s hand gripped the steering wheel tightly, veins bulging, his dark eyes as deep as ink.
“If your mother heard this, she would be heartbroken. For the sake of a woman, you disregard your own mother’s life. As your father, it’s my responsibility to discipline you,” Caesar spoke plainly and clearly. “And I’ve already compromised. You just need to pretend with Sirena in front of your mother. I don’t care what you do with that Rosalind in private! If you can’t even do this, then… don’t blame me for being excessive. You might be able to protect Rosalind, but you can’t guarantee the safety of everyone around her, nor can you protect her reputation in the business world.”
As the chairman of W Group, destroying someone like Rosalind would be easy! Even with Ulric backing her, public opinion can be terrifying. No matter what efforts Rosalind makes, no one will pay attention or care! She would become nothing more than a trophy wife in others’ eyes.
Given Rosalind’s personality, she might go mad.
Ulric was now certain that tonight’s incident with Rosalind’s mother was orchestrated by his father.
“Don’t target her,” he gritted his teeth, his jawline taut and sharp. “… I will consider it.”
“Good. After all, I don’t want our father-son relationship to become a laughingstock.”
Shortly after hanging up, Ulric received a WeChat message from Rosalind.
“I saw your car still downstairs. You can go home now. My mother is fine, don’t worry! She just got a scare.”
