Chapter 2167: Chapter 2170

Sensing Gail’s unease regarding Brian’s news, she drew her mother close, reassuring her with a comforting embrace.

“Mom, don’t worry.

The situation is not as you think.

I’ll explain it all to you and Dad,” she promised, her calm demeanor offering Gail a sense of relief.

“Okay,” Gail acquiesced, her worry momentarily eased.

As they prepared to descend the stairs, Rosalynn’s phone rang once more.

Glancing at the screen, she noticed a call from Karina.

“Mom, you go ahead.

I’ll catch up after talking to Karina,” she said.

“Alright,” Gail agreed, continuing on her way downstairs.

Rosalynn paused to answer the call.

“Karina,” she said warmly.

“Rose, are you home?” Karina inquired.

“Yes, I am.

Sorry, I didn’t have my phone with me earlier, so I missed your call,” Rosalynn explained, recalling she had seen Karina’s missed call before Brian’s.

She had intended to return it but was interrupted by Brian’s call.

“It’s okay.

You’re pregnant.

It’s best not to use your phone too much, There’s radiation and all…” Karina’s voice trailed off, hesitating to broach the topic.

Rosalynn’s smile widened as she anticipated Karina’s concern.

“You’re worried I might stumble upon some upsetting news online, aren’t yo

u?”

As best friends who knew each other inside out, Karina didn’t bother denying it.

“Yeah.

Rose, I just saw Brian at the Beauty Apartments.

He seemed different, almost distant.

He was with another woman and barely acknowledged me.

Do you think he’s taking out his frustrations on you because of his mother’s hospitalization and losing his power?” Karina voiced her apprehension.

Rosalynn paused, her smile unwavering.

“Karina, he is not like that,” she affirmed gently.

“Are you sure? I hope he hasn’t changed for the worse.

But his behavior today really disappointed me!” Karina complained.

“He’s actually started a new career.

” Rosalynn revealed suddenly.

“Huh?”

“Since losing his previous position, he’s transitioned into directing now,” Rosalynn elaborated.

“What?” Karina exclaimed, taken aback.

“Even though it’s his first foray into directing, he seems to have a knack for it.

He even managed to deceive you,” Rosalynn remarked earnestly.

Karina responded with a string of confused noises.

“Wait, what? Since when was Brian a director?” she demanded.

Rosalynn chuckled, putting an end to the jest.

“Don’t worry.

We’re doing just fine.

What he’s doing now is all part of a plan,” she reassured Karina.

“A plan?” Karina echoed, her eyebrows arching in surprise.

“Yes,” Rosalynn explained.

“Brian’s cousin, Aldrich, has always been ambitious, constantly plotting against him in secret.

Noemi’s act of jumping from the building is closely related to him and Selina.

Brian is just biding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike back.
