Chapter 155
The video showed Rosalie dining with Sebastian. They were both dressed elegantly, and even looked like a couple. What’s more, it happened to be her birthday.
Theodore recalled Rosalie telling him that she first met Sebastian when she was receiving her bachelor’s degree at school. However, the video Caleb sent him clearly showed that it was before she got her bachelor’s degree.
So, she had been lying to him all along. She had known Sebastian long before, but pretended they met later. She got involved with
Sebastian, so she deliberately lied to him about not knowing Sebastian earlier!
Hah… What a great liar!
He couldn’t help but think of Rosalie saying she had had enough of this marriage. Each time he thought of it, his heart felt like it was being squeezed painfully..
No wonder Rosalie said she had had enough, and was unhappy being with him. She had already liked someone else, and that someone was Sebastian.
If she truly liked Sebastian, why didn’t she tell him from the start and lie instead? Theodore didn’t expect her to be such a good actress!
The next morning, Rosalie received a call from Rebecca.
Rebecca’s tone was slightly solemn. The old I requested her to come over, saying she had something to discuss.
It made Rosalie uneasy.

When Rosalie arrived at Rebecca’s place, she was sitting in the living room. There was a cup of tea on the table, still steaming. She sat there silently, her emotions somewhat vacant, as if lost in thought.
“Grandma.” Rosalie walked over with a smile, sitting beside Rebecca and taking her arm. “Why did you call me over so early? Did you miss
me?”
Rebecca smiled faintly, gently patting Rosalie’s hand. “Yes, I missed you. Do you find me annoying?”
“How could I? Whenever you ask me to come, I’ll be there right away. I never find it annoying. I missed you too.”
Seeing Rosalie’s cheerful demeanor, Rebecca suddenly sighed. “Oh, child. You always know how to make me happy.”
“Who else can I make happy if not you, Grandma? I’m your little ray of sunshine.”
“But what about yourself?” Rebecca raised her hand, and gently
patted Rosalie’s face. “You keep your own sorrows inside, so who can make you happy?”
The smile on Rosalie’s face gradually vanished. “Grandma, what are you… What are you talking about? I’m not sad, I’m happy.”
Suddenly, she felt flustered inside.
“Silly girl, don’t lie to me. I know you’re hurting inside, and Theodore isn’t helping matters.”
Rebecca’s tone turned harsh as she spoke.
Rosalie hurriedly interjected, “Did you misunderstand Theo? Did he say something wrong and upset you again? Tell me, I’ll talk to him
I get back.”

Rosalie’s. “I know.”
Rosalie pursed her lips. “Grandma… What do you know?”
“Do you remember your birthday? I went to see you. It was late at night, and you and Theodore were outside talking.”
Rosalie stayed silent.
Rebecca continued, “Actually, I heard everything you two said. You were talking about getting a divorce.”
“Grandma, I…” Rosalie’s heart raced, unsure of how to explain.
Rebecca’s tone remained calm as she continued, “Rose, don’t worry. I’m not angry with you, nor do I blame you. I just want to hear the truth.”
Rosalie was silent. With Rebecca bringing it up now, she saw no point in hiding it anymore.
“Yes, you heard it right,” she confessed.
Rebecca closed her eyes. She took a deep breath, and slowly opened them again.
“I never thought this day would come so soon. I knew that Cynthia was a restless woman. She’s no good. She’s like a locust, only causing destruction,” she spat bitterly.
