“As long as you know what you’re doing.” Ulric’s voice was deep.
“Have you left Northville City?”
“At the airport.”
Johnny clicked his tongue. “Alright, I can’t persuade you! Since you’ve decided, go do what you want. I’ll keep an eye on things with Rosalind for you.”
“Hmm.”
Hanging up the phone, Johnny glanced at the bedroom door.
No matter what, he had to make Tilda his wife today.
…
In the airport VIP lounge.
Ulric put away his phone and rubbed his temples.
He hadn’t slept all night, lying next to Rosalind until dawn.
So now he felt somewhat weary.
Cedric, noticing this keenly, quickly brought a pillow. “Mr. Walters, there’s still an hour before boarding. Would you like to rest for a while?”
“No need. I’m waiting for someone’s call.”
His prediction was accurate.
Five minutes later, Caesar’s name flashed on the screen.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t interfere anymore? Why did you find a lawyer for Rosalind?!”
Caesar was furious, his tone full of questioning and blame.
“Was it you who suppressed this matter by forbidding any law firm from taking the case?”
“Ulric! Don’t forget who gave birth to you! In such a situation, you’re not helping your mother but supporting Rosalind in suing your mother?!”
“I said the court will decide the verdict. If you don’t interfere, neither will I. You broke the rules first.”
Caesar growled, “Do you expect me to sit and do nothing? How can I let your mother be sent to prison by Rosalind and possibly sentenced to death?”
Ulric’s lips moved slightly. “Those who make mistakes must take responsibility for their actions.”
“The mastermind is clearly Sirena. You must know that! If someone has to pay with their life, it should be Sirena! She deserves it! But your mother was fooled by Sirena into doing such stupid things!” Caesar realized he had little chance against his son now and had to negotiate with him patiently. “Please, give your mother a chance. I promise she won’t harm Rosalind again!”
“Ask Rosalind if she’s willing. Her mother is the one who died.”
Ulric couldn’t make that decision.
“Ulric, your mother is in poor health. You know that!”
“I know.”
“Then why-”
“I’ve said more than once not to touch Rosalind or get involved with Sirena’s matters, but no one listened.”
If it weren’t his own mother, he would have killed the person long ago! Would he have tolerated her until now?
“I didn’t realize back then what kind of person Sirena was!”
“It’s too late to say that now.” Ulric’s voice was hoarse from the sleepless night. “I’ve broken up with Rosalind.”
“If you are willing to forgive your mother-”
“Do you think I still have the face to be with Rosalind?”
Ulric’s voice suddenly rose, filled with determination.
Caesar was momentarily stunned into silence.
“Do you know how much effort I put into pursuing her? Over ten years of carefully approaching her, meticulously planning every step, afraid she’d feel even a bit uncomfortable! Finally, I convinced her to be my wife. Do you know how happy I was?”
“For so many years, I’ve worked diligently for W Group! All I wanted was that when I married her someday, you’d accept her! But what did you do? You destroyed everything!”
