Chapter 23

Rose, did you need something?”

Theodore didn’t directly answer her question, but it was true. Cynthial was his junior.

“I need to fill out my preferences for my university entrance exams. Do you have any suggestions

regarding majors?”

Theodore continued working with his head down as he replied, ” Choose something you’re

interested in.”

“Then, I’ll choose…”

“Sorry to interrupt,” said Cynthia from the office doorway. “Mr. Spencer, Mr. Johnson is online and

waiting for you.”

Theodore hummed in response and closed the file he was holding. I’ll be right there.”

As he walked past Rosalie, he said, “I’m a bit busy. Let’s talk later.”

“Oh, okay,” Rosalie replied, looking somewhat disappointed as she

lowered her head.

Noticing the lack of movement behind him, Theodore stopped and turned around. Eventually, he

approached Rosalie and grasped her

shoulder.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. You should go attend to your business,” Rosalie said, fearing she would delay him

further.

“Tell me what major you want to study,” he insisted, not rushing away.

Rosalie looked up, noticing Cynthia at the door. The older woman

looked professional, seeming to portray the image of a strong, Independent woman.

“I want to study finance,” Rosalie said, wanting to work alongside Theodore and be on par with him.

“You like finance?” Theodore asked.

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, I do.”

“Alright, then study that. After you graduate, I can arrange a job for

you.”

“Can I work at SK Enterprise?” Rosalie asked softly.

“Of course, I need talents in finance,” he replied, gently patting her shoulder before turning and

leaving.

As he reached the door, he turned back and added, “Rose, apply to universities in Ashwick, okay?

Don’t go too far.”

Because of Theodore’s words, she had ultimately chosen finance as her major. Unfortunately, he

no longer needed her now.

“Since you didn’t leave halfway through my speech, you must have heard me say that I’ve never

regretted that decision. So, why are your accusing me of deceiving you?” Rosalie asked.

She didn’t blame Theodore or regret it, but he was accusing her now.

After staring at her silently for a moment, Theodore released her shoulder, fastened her seatbelt,

and drove away. Though his

expression was cold, he looked ready to erupt at any moment, like a volcano..

“What’s your relationship with that man?” he asked. His tone was indifferent, but the veins on the

back of his hand bulged as he gripped the steering wheel.

“There’s nothing between us. He’s just a major shareholder at

Ashwick University

And? Theodore pressed

“There’s nothing more than that. I have no connection to tem. Vivet

da you want me to say?”

“Does that mean you only met him today?

Actually, Rosalie had met him before, but she wasn’t sure if she should tell Theodore about it.

In the end, she said, “Yes, today was the first time I’ve seen him.”

It was better to not mention the past. Talking about it was troublesome, and Theodore would just

ask more questions. At her answer, the bulging veins on the back of the man’s hand seemed to

diminish, and his fiery gaze gradually subsided.

“You shouldn’t have acted like that today.” Rosalie was a bit angry. 1 fell, and he helped me. You

humiliated him too much.”

Although Theodore didn’t explicitly say it at the time, his behavior, his tone, his gaze – anyone with

eyes could see that he had been targeting Sebastian.

To Rosalie, Sebastian had saved her unborn child.

“So, now you’re accusing me for the sake of a man you just met?” Theodore asked.

Theodore and Rosalie had known each other for ten years. Was he less than Sebastian?

“It doesn’t matter how long we’ve known each other. I’m just dealing with the matter at hand.”

“Just dealing with the matter? Clearly, you’re biased!”

Rosalie was almost amused by this man’s irritation. “By your logic, where does your bias lean when

it comes to Cynthia and I?”

If that’s the case, why did he bring up divorce? If he was also guilty of doing the same, why was he

blaming her?

Theodore’s brow furrowed. “Why are you bringing her up?”

“Why are you targeting others for no reason?” Rosalie retorted.

Screech…!

Theodore slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop on the side of the road and causing the

vehicle to jolt violently. Though Rosalie was wearing her seatbelt, her body still lurched forward, and

combined with her discomfort, she almost threw up.

“Theodore, what are you doing?!”
