Chapter 75

Rosalie was the first to arrive at the restaurant. Sydney had sent her a text a few minutes earlier,

saying that she was running te and

asking her daughter–in–law to sit and wait for her. Guided by the

waiter, Rosalie found Sydney’s table.

But when she saw the woman who was sitting there, her face immediately turned cold.

“Cynthia, what are you doing here?”

Seeing Rosalie, Cynthia also looked puzzled.

But soon, she lifted her head proudly and said, “Is it wrong for my future mother–in–law to invite me

for a meal?”

“Your future mother–in–law? Are you referring to Theo’s mother?”

“Who else could it be?” Cynthia smirked. “Mom called me last night and said she wanted to have a

meal with me today. She seemed to be in a good mood. It seems she really supports her son’s love.

She’s the one who truly cares about her son, having carried him for nine months.”

Rosalie snorted. “So, you mean Grandma and his father don’t care. about him, right?”

“I didn’t say that. Don’t put words in my mouth,” Cynthia said. innocently.

Rosalie took her phone out of her bag and called Sydney. The call

went unanswered, so she sent her mother–in–law a WhatsApp

message instead.

[Mom, why did you also invite Cynthia? If you two are going to have a meal together, then I’ll leave

first.]

Sydney quickly replied. Don’t leave I invited both of you. Please sit

down and wait for a moment. I’ll be there soon

[Mom, why are you doing this?)

[We’ll talk once I get there. Don’t leave ]

Rosalie didn’t understand what Sydney meant. Since her mother–in- law had done this, there must

be a reason for it. There was nothing Rosalie could do but stay here for the time being. She

returned her phone to her bag and sat across from Cynthia.

“You still don’t know that Theo was in a car accident, right?” said

Cynthia, taking a sip of her juice

Rosalie pretended to be surprised, asking, “Really? When did it happen?”

“It was days ago. I’ve been with him the whole time.”

Rosalie clenched her fists, but still maintained a smile on her face Thank you for your hard work.”

“Don’t mention it. Anyway, Theo and I are going to get married in the future. What’s more important

is that Theo got into the accident because of me. I fell ill, and he was too busy taking care of me,

which led to him driving while tired.”

Cynthia placed her hands on her chest, looking sad. “Thank goodness he’s okay. Otherwise, I

wouldn’t want to live anymore. He would die for me, and I would do the same for him.”

Rosalie stared at the other woman coldly, silently watching her act before eventually asking, “Ms.

Zeller, why do you think Theo didn’t tell me about his car accident?”

“Maybe because he wanted me to be with him and didn’t want to be disturbed by outsiders,”

Cynthia replied, her lips curling into a

victorious smile.

“Ms. Zeller, perhaps you’re wrong. I happened to be hospitalized for stomach problems when Theo

was in the accident, so maybe he just didn’t want me to worry.”

Cynthia frowned. “Is that so? But I’m more inclined to think that he didn’t want you to bother him.

Rosalie, don’t be too naive. You know. Theo’s feelings for me.”

Seeing Cynthia’s confident appearance, Rosalie couldn’t help but think that the other woman was

ordinary yet confident. She was snobbish, arrogant, and self–assured. Be it in terms of career or

character, she looked down on other people. There was not a single commendable thing about her.

“Really?” Rosalie smiled slightly. “Then, I’ll call Theo now and ask him whether he didn’t tell me

about his car accident because he didn’t want me to worry or because he wanted you to be with

him.

“If it’s not because he didn’t want me to worry, well, then it’s as you said. Also, you said he got into

the accident because of you. I wonder what his reaction will be.”

Rosalie’s tone suddenly sounded a bit hostile, intentionally provoking Cynthia. After all, many would

want to do the same if they were in this situation, but simply didn’t bother to do so.
