The little girl loved sweets, her chubby face with big, twinkling eyes.
“By your Aunt Tilda’s side, right…” Ulric sighed and murmured to himself, “You will see her soon.”
…
When Sirena first saw Lion, she was stunned, then a wave of jealousy surged in her heart.
Why were all the men around Rosalind so outstanding?
On her way here, she had looked up information about Lion. Although his family background was far inferior to Ulric’s, he was still a young talent with a deep-set face, tall and slender stature, and an impressive resume.
And herself? After studying diligently for over ten years and striving for perfection in everything, she believed that her looks and abilities were no worse than Rosalind’s. Why wasn’t there a man who pursued her so persistently?
“Miss Reynolds, hello.”
Lion had reserved a private room and even booked the surrounding ones to ensure privacy.
Sirena sat down and smiled politely, “Hello.”
“I’ve heard about Mr. Walters’ chief lawyer who works tirelessly for W Group. I didn’t expect to have the honor of meeting you today.”
“You don’t need to say all that. Since we both know why we’re here, just get to the point.” Sirena had a lot on her mind and was too overwhelmed to engage in small talk.
Lion smiled and took out his phone, showing her a photo.
“This is Rosalind’s daughter. She once came to the company to see her, and one of my employees took this picture without her knowing.”
Sirena took a closer look. Indeed, not only did the girl resemble Rosalind, but there were also features similar to Ulric’s.
“I want this photo.”
“That’s not possible.” Lion was here to discuss cooperation, not to give away things for free. “Our cooperation is based on the premise that you cannot harm Rosalind or her daughter.”
He wanted to take Rosalind away from Ulric but would never harm her.
Sirena was annoyed by his protective attitude towards Rosalind.
“Then how do we cooperate? To break them up, someone has to get hurt! If you want to harm Ulric, I won’t agree!”
“Miss Reynolds, our goal is to separate them, not to kill either of them! You’re thinking too extremely.” Lion noticed Sirena’s hostility towards Rosalind. “Once it’s done, you can be with Ulric, and I’ll take Rosalind and her daughter far away. She will be my woman from then on, and I will protect her just like you are protecting Ulric now.”
Sirena snorted coldly. “Do you know what kind of person Rosalind is? She shouldn’t even exist in this world! Her mother was a mistress, and she’s learned to seduce Ulric!”
Lion sat up straight, his thick eyebrows furrowing slightly.
“I have eyes to see what kind of woman Rosalind is; I don’t need your opinion! I came here today to propose cooperation and showed you her daughter’s photo as a gesture of sincerity. But if you’re just here to badmouth Rosalind, then there’s no need for us to meet.” With that, he prepared to leave.
Sirena clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. “Do you like her that much? Even though she caused you to lose Eastsun Corporation and offended W Group, you’re not angry?”
“I’ve always believed that a good partner is worth more than all the money and fame in the world. And Rosalind is the best choice in my heart.”
