At the emergency room of Savrow Hospital, Rosalind had already received a blood transfusion, but she
was still in critical condition.
When she was brought in, her entire face was so pale that it was almost transparent. The cuts on her
wrists were hideous and deep.
Patrick, Jean, Gregory, and Bethany were waiting in the corridor.
Jean was heartbroken and bawled while calling out her daughterâs name.
âThatâs enough! How could you cry like this at your age? Youâre embarrassing us!â Patrick admonished
her with a gloomy face.
âAre you kidding me? Our daughterâs life is hanging by a thread, but as her father, you only think about
how Iâm embarrassing you. Do you even have a heart?!â
Jean grabbed and pulled her husbandâs collar while crying hysterically. âMy son is already in prison.
Rose is the only child I have now! If anything happens to her, I wonât be able to live anymore!â
Patrickâs face was glum. His daughter attempted suicide because of a man, and his wife was making a
fuss.
Patrick already had an inferior complex with Gregory. But this time, he felt even more embarrassed in
front of his brother-in-law because he could not figure out how to deal with his wife and daughter. In a
fit of rage, Patrick shoved Jean, who stumbled to the floor.
âAre you done making a scene?! This is a hospital. Do you think this is a farmerâs market? Look in the
mirror! Do you still look like the wife of a chairman?!â
âYou⦠You pushed meâ¦â Jean collapsed on the floor. She was so stunned that she forgot to cry.
âAunt Jean, Uncle Patrick, please stop arguing! Whatâs most important is that Rose can survive the
critical period.â Bethany hurriedly stepped forward to help Jean. However, she was secretly smiling.
If Shannon had not been assisting with the investigation at the prosecutorâs office and Gregory had not
dragged her over to console Jean, Bethany would not have cared about Rosalindâs well-being.
Since Bethany was already at the hospital, she would have to complete the act. Thus, she could not
laugh, no matter how secretly happy she was.
âGregory, my daughter has become like this because of your son. You must give us an explanation!â
Patrick had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only blame Gregory. âMy daughter and
your
son have been in a relationship for so many years. She gave Justin the most precious years of her
youth! Now that their marital news is spreading, everyone in Savrow knows that my daughter is Justinâs
fiancée. At first, their wedding was set to be after Old Master Nigelâs birthday. Your son and that woman
delayed finalizing their divorce, but we put up with it for Old Master Nigelâs sake. Now that his birthday
has passed and they have finalized their divorce, how could your son suddenly back out at this time?
What kind of girl from a good family can bear this kind of betrayal? Your son is just forcing my daughter
off a cliff!â
Gregory was frustrated. His face was glum, and he did not know what to say.
âWe⦠Although weâre not as rich and influential as the Thompsons, weâre decent people who deserve
respect. Justin is bullying Rose by treating her so callously!â
Jean stood up with Bethanyâs support and said angrily, âChairman Salvador, our family will not let this
slide! If Justin breaks up with my daughter, we will definitely leak it to the press. We can all go to hell
together!â
She knew that Rosalind attempted suicide to force Justinâs hand in marriage.
Rosalind and Justin were childhood sweethearts. As long as that man still had a hint of nostalgia for
Rosalind, he would not sit idly by and watch her die.
Even if they could not get married in the end, Jean would strive to get the maximum benefit from the
Salvadors. That way, she could also save her family from bankruptcy. No matter how she looked at it,
this was a profitable deal!
Gregory sighed repeatedly. He looked troubled.
With Shannonâs arrest making headlines, if news spread about the CEO of Salvador
Corporation two-timing his fiancée, forcing her to commit suicide, Salvador Corporationâs reputation
would go down the drain, and their stocks would plummet.
At this point, Gregory no longer cared about Justinâs willingness. He simply made a decision.â Donât
worry, when Rose wakes up, you can tell her that I will make sure Justin marries her as planned.â
After hearing this, the Goldsâ expressions relaxed a little.
However, Jean still had lingering fears when she thought about the past. Justin was gaining more
power in Salvador Corporation. He was no longer the weak, illegitimate son who would listen to
Gregoryâs orders. Thus, Justin might not even care about the promise that Gregory made.
At this time, a series of footsteps came from the end of the corridor.
Justinâs handsome face was pale, as if it were covered in frost. He walked toward them with Ian in tow.
âHow is Rose?â
Before Gregory could answer, Jean rushed over with fiery eyes and grabbed Justinâs shirt. âJustin!
What did my daughter ever do to you?! Look at what youâve done to her! Do you want Rosalind to die
so that you can get back together with your ex-wife?!â
âMrs. Gold! Calm down!â Ian hurriedly pulled Shannon away from Justin.
This caused a big stir. Even though there were bodyguards standing guard over the area, some
onlookers still poked their heads to watch the fun.
