Chapter 57
“Useless wench!” Rosalind’s father, Patrick, coughed several times in pain and scolded
Rosalind. Have you done anything to help the family even though you’ve cozied up to
Justin all these years?! You didn’t get a single asset from him or marry him after dating
him for so long. It seems to me that Justin doesn’t love you at all. Giving birth to a
daughter like you is just a waste of money! You useless bitch!”
Rosalind’s eyes were red. Her father had always preferred sons over daughters. When
Patrick heard that his wife, Jean, was pregnant with a girl, he forced her to abort the
pregnancy. However, the doctor said that Jean would no longer have another chance of
conceiving if they were to terminate this pregnancy. Jean also insisted on giving birth to
Rosalind.
As a result, after giving birth to Rosalind, Jean was still unable to conceive again. That was
why Patrick hated Rosalind even more.
Rosalind has lived in the shadow of her brother since she was a child. To get attention, she
clung to her aunt, Shannon. Rosalind lost her childlike innocence at a young age and
learned how to be scheming so that she could make a future for herself. She wanted to
impress her father and become the most respected woman in Savrow.
Justin was her first test subject when she was just 8 years old.
Rosalind initially looked down on Justin’s identity as an illegitimate son. Instead, she was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmore interested in his eldest brother.
Shannon had told Rosalind to practice with Justin first. Even if Rosalind did not like Justin, it
was still nice to have a wealthy boy as her follower.
Thus, Shannon provided her with the opportunity to become Justin’s savior and the light of
redemption in his time of darkness. That was why Justin was so obsessed with Rosalind.
During this time, Rosalind brought a lot of benefits to the Gold family. But in the end, her
father only regarded her as a tool to gain power. Patrick said that she was worthless if she
made the slightest
mistake.
Rosalind’s eyes were filled with hatred. She sneered and thought, ‘I don’t want to help
Zeke. He should just rot in prison for the rest of his life. That way, Gold Corporation will be
mine, even if it’s just an empty shell!’
“That’s enough, Patrick! Don’t say such hurtful things! What can Rose do if Justin refuses
to help?!”
Rosalind’s mother, Jean, hurriedly came over to hug her daughter and glared at her
husband. “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t spoiled Zeke to the point where he thinks
that he’s above the law, we wouldn’t have ended up like this! You men only know how to
take it out on us when things go wrong!”
Patrick was fuming. He reminded himself that his wife’s sister was Gregory Salvador’s
wife, so he controlled his anger.
“Our top priority now is to restore our company’s image as quickly as possible. Secondly,
we need to finalize Rose and Justin’s wedding date.”
Jean’s eyes turned vicious when she thought of Justin’s refusal to save her son. “If it
doesn’t work out, just find a way to get pregnant. When the time comes, the Salvadors
won’t be able to get rid of Rose.”
“Mom! Did you forget…” Rosalind pointed to her belly in panic.
Jean remembered the stretch marks on Rose’s belly that had not been removed yet and
sighed in frustration.
“Rose, if it can’t be removed, just cover them with tattoos. That’s the fastest solution.”
Rosalind was very reluctant to have random tattoos on her belly because she had always
been playing the “good girl” persona.
After several courses of laser treatment, her stretch marks were still obvious. If the marks
would not fade by her wedding date, this was her last resort.
At this time, the servants came downstairs with Rosalind’s things.
“Madam, we’ve sorted out everything.”
“Mom, these are my jewelry boxes! Where are you taking them?!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m selling these.”
“What?! Why? These are my collectibles!”
Rosalind ran over in a panic and grabbed the most valuable box.
Justin gave this ruby pendant named “The Flaming Heart” as a token of love. Justin
personally flew to Feranco three times two years ago and stayed there for more than half
a month to hire a first-class jewelry designer to design this necklace for Rosalind.
Although Rosalind did not know how much the pendant cost, such a large ruby was
extremely rare. It would cost at least seven figures. Justin had always been generous to
her.
“The company needs money now. If you and I sell some of our valuable jewelry, we can
still keep the company running. There will be a charity auction in half a month, so we must
attend the auction to win a favorable image for our family! What’s more, it’s Old Master
Salvador’s birthday soon. We can buy something at the auction as his birthday gift. That’ll
kill two birds with one stone!”
Jean looked at her daughter with a lamenting expression, but she still comforted Rosalind.
“Rose, when you marry Justin, that boy will buy you all the jewelry you want. Don’t worry
about it. Don’t forgo the big picture because of a small profit. You will be the future lady
boss of Salvador Corporation. We can’t count on your brother anymore, so you’re our only
hope!”
Rosalind hesitated for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and handed the jewelry
box to her
mother.
