Chapter 240

“Haha…” Rebecca suddenly laughed. “I said so much, but you only focused on the fact that I hit

him. Looks like your heart still aches for him.”

“No, Grandma…” Rosalie smiled awkwardly. “I was just…a little surprised.”

“Is that so? Just surprised?” Rebecca shrugged dismissively. “All’s good, in that case. I taught him a

lesson on your behalf, and he’s probably still lying in bed in pain.”

Rosalie gripped the hem of her shirt, suddenly feeling anxious. The image of Theodore injured and

in pain flashed past her mind

instinctively, and made her panic.

“Grandma, no matter what, you shouldn’t have hit him in a fit of anger. I’m not worried about him,

I’m worried about you getting angry. Hitting someone takes quite some energy.”

Contrary to her own words, Rosalie couldn’t help but be worried about Theodore. She didn’t expect

Theodore to say all those words and take all the blame.

He would always blame her, but in front of others, especially Grandma, he would always admit his

wrongdoing.

What exactly was he thinking?

“All right, you silly girl. Just admit that you’re worried about him. It’s not like I can’t tell. Now that you

two are divorced, what do you plan to do next?”

“…”

Rosalie looked up. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “Many

things have happened during this period, and I feel very suffocated and miserable. I want to go

abroad for a holiday for a few months, and get some fresh air.”

She had to find a place to give birth to her baby. She was worried that if Rebecca were to find out

that she was with child, she might

demand Theodore to remarry her.

Under such circumstances, there were only two possibilities.

Theodore would either be forced to remarry her for the sake of the, baby and end up hating her

even more, or refuse to remarry her and make her abort the baby.

Both possibilities were terrible, which was why she decided to only tell Grandma about the baby

after she gave birth.

By then, Theodore would probably be married to Cynthia. He wouldn’t need to remarry her.

Rosalie would then tell Grandma that she was in love with another man. She would at most hire an

escort to help her explain to Grandma that she had a partner. Everything would then be resolved.

“All right,” Rebecca said with a nod. “You should go get a breather. It’s been tough on you over the

years. Go visit a few countries and have fun. Don’t worry about spending the family’s money. Theo

told me that he’s given you five percent of the company’s shares, which is the least he could do.”

“Yes, Grandma. See, I didn’t lose out. You don’t need to worry about me at all,” Rosalie said with a

bright smile.

Rebecca lifted a hand to caress Rosalie’s face. “You silly girl.”

Rosalie had lunch with Rebecca before heading back in the afternoon.

When she reached home, she felt rather uneasy thinking about how

Grandma hit theodore.

Grandma’s cane was made of solid wood. Anyone hit by it would certainly be in a lot of pain.

Rosalie pulled out her phone, wanting to call Theodore to ask how he was. On second thought, she

thought it was a bad idea to call him.

In what capacity would she be asking him in?

Oh yes, she could call Anthony.

She wondered if Theodore had settled them down yet. It wouldn’t be a big deal for her to call

Anthony to find out, and take the chance to casually ask about Theodore.

Rosalie justified her actions to herself before calling Anthony’s number. The line rang for slightly

over ten seconds before he answered it.

“Hello, Madam Rosalie.”
