Chapter 113
Everything had seemed so perfect. Virginia had always believed that Leonardo would eventually marry her, making her the envy of all women and becoming the wife that they dreamed of.
But Virginia never expected that Leonardo was the son of Richard, the president of Brooks Group.
He was the son of Richard, the benefactor who had supported her education all along and the CEO of the Brooks Group. It felt like a cruel joke from fate, dragging her out of her fantasy and back to reality.
If it werenât for Richardâs obstruction, and if it werenât for Richard suddenly sending her away, how could that shameless Rosalind have taken advantage of it and gained the position of the Brooks Groupâs presidentâs wife? How could she have
missed Leonardo?
It should have been her. Leonardu should have been hers, and she should have been the wife of the president of Brooks Group, inheriting everything.
But now!
She had gained nothing, and she was still in this awkward position
She was uralling to accept her fate!
âEnough!â Leonardo slanumed the newspaper onto the table, his eyes as cold and venomous as poison
âItâs none of your business what I do. Take Dylan and leave. Donât come here again.â
As soon as Leonardo spoke, Dylan trembled in fear, tears streaming down his face.
âMommy, Iâm scared. I want to go home! I dont want Daddy anymore Mommy, take me home!â
Dylan cried and pleaded to go back home.
His father was so scary that Dylan didnât want to see him
Dylan thought, Why are Yanna and Kevinâs father su gentle, always smiling at them and standing up for them?â
But his own father was always cold toward him, never smiling at him, and never bagging lum..
Dylan felt deeply wronged and scared. All he wanted now was to leave this place and never see his father again.
Hearing Dylanâs cries. Leonardo felt a pang of guilt but didnât step forward to contfort Dylan.
Leonardoâs outburst frightened Dylan and snapped Virginia back to the present.
âDanny, donât cry. Daddy didnât mean it. He loves you. Please donât cryâ¦
Virginia was filled with anger, hatred, and a deep sense of uncillingness. But she quickly pushed aside those emotions, wiped away her tears, and softly whispered words of comfort to Dylan.
She had acted impulsively earlier, saying those words in front of Leonardo.
Now, for Dylanâs sake, Leonardo had allowed her to stay in the Brooks family. She couldnât let Leonardo resent Dylan. She could never let that happen.
*Leonardo, Danny is just a child. Heâs expressing his childish anger. Donât blame him. It was my fault today. 1 shouldnât have provoked you, and the child was a little scared. I take him home now. Please calm downâ
Virginia kept apologizing, her posture lowered in submission. She appeared gentle, fragile, and wronged, but her clenched. fist revealed the anger and resentiment simmering within her.
After speaking, she took Dylan away without waiting for Leonardo to say anything more.
In the afteroon, Rosalind was bored at home, so she called a few cleaners to tidy up the Jansen villa, preparing to complete the discharge procedures for her father and move back to the Jansen villa as soon as possible.
However, as soon as she arrived at the gates of the Jansen villa with the cleaners, she noticed a commotion. A group of people had gathered, engaged in some sort of argument. Two distinct and familiar cars were parked at the entrance.
Rosalind blinked her bright eyes, thinking she must be mistaken. She rubbed her eyes to ensure her vision was clear and hurried over to see what was happening
It was Jacob, followed by a squad of people, who were arguing with another group of people.
âWhat are you doing?â Rosalind exclaimed as she gave both parties a puzzled look.
Why was there a mass gathering in front of her house on a random afternoon? Whatâs going on?
Moreover, why was the main entrance to her home open? Who had the keys in her house?

âAnanda, why are you here?â
Jacob was equally surprised.
Rosalindâs mouth twitched fiercely, thinking that she had misheard. This was her house. Why, according to Jacob, should she not be here!
âJacobs, this is my home. Is it strange that Iâm here? Itâs more strange that youâre here, isnât it?â
Jacob realized that his question was worded poorly, so he just smiled awkwardly.
âNo, itâs not strange at all. I meant to say that this house isnât tidied up yet. Iâm afraid you might get hurt here. Itâs not foo late for you to move in after everythingâs done!â
His job wasnât done. With Amanda here, Jaroh was worried that Leonardo would find him incompetent.
Then, he would probably lose his bonus again.
You guys are here to tidy the place! All of you? Who gave the order?â
Rosalind regretted asking as soon as she heard herself. Who else could call upon the secretary of Brooks Group other than the CEO himself, Leonardo?
âAmanda, donât get me wrong. Mr. Brooks ordered us to tidy up the Jansen villa. We were almost done until this group of troublemakers showed up.â
âAmanda, please do us a favor and get them out of here. Theyâre so annoyingâ
Jacob, taking advantage of being somewhat familiar with Rosalud, immediately started gossiping and, after speaking, gave a proud glare at the group of people across, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
âArenât all of you together?â Rosalind asked as she pointed toward Jacob, then to the other group of people.
âOf course not!TM
Both the groups immediately answered in unison despite their mutual hatred.
Rosalind took a closer look and was assured that they were not a team.
The people on Jacobâs side were wearing red uniforms, while the people on the other side were wearing green uniforms, a clear distinction.
âWho invited you hereâ
Rosalind looked at the other group, confused. It couldnât be Damian, could it
Why didnât Damian inform Rosalind in advance? He made her bring so many people here, wasting her time.
âMs. Jansen. Im Eric, assistant to Mr. Macaulay. Weâve inet once at Mrs. Macaulayâs birthday party, but perhaps you donât remember me anymore.â
Ericâs attitude was very respectful, and he seemed gentle in character, smiling brightly and good at dealing with people.
âYou work for Jonas. Why did he send you here?â
Rosalind thought, âHe canât be here to clean the Jansen villa as well, right?â
âMr. Macaulay ordered ane to bring cleaners to tidy up the Jansen villa. We are about to do so.â
Eric remained polite, his attitude extremely gentle. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked capable.
His personality was completely different from Jonasâ rebellious nature. Rosalind didnât understand why Jonas would hire
such an assistant.
Rosalind felt her lips twitch as soon as she heard that.
She wondered, âWhy did they come to clean up the Jansen villa? Why are they all so diligent?â
