Chapter 329
Rosalie woke up at the sound of the alarm at noon, just in time for lunch.
She was still feeling woozy and very tired.
When she looked at the time, she knew she couldnât go on sleeping. Otherwise, she wouldnât be able to sleep at night and end up having her day and night reserved. That would be terrible.
It would be fine if she werenât pregnant, but she was. She had to think for the baby.
After climbing out of bed, Rosalie walked into the bathroom, washed up, bathed, and changed into a clean set of clothes.
After leaving the bathroom, she felt a lot better and not so tired
anymore.
Rosalie walked into the study and took out her notebook. Just then, Sydney returned home from the market.
Rosalie walked out of the study with her notebook in hand. When she saw Sydney, she walked over to her and said, âMom, I found many issues last night. Look, these are Regent Co.âs data from the previous
quarterâ¦â
âI read them,â Sydney cut her off as she put her groceries on the table. âI read through your notes while you were asleep. Coupled with the information, I know what you found. There are indeed problems with Regent Co. It looks glorious on the outside, but is in fact riddled with problems.â
âMom, with such a high leverage ratio and clear signs of falsifying data, how in the world did they bypass the regulators and get listed?â

Sydney smiled, but didnât say anything. She simply looked straight into Rosalieâs eyes for a few seconds.
Rosalie immediately understood what she meant.
It was none other than a bribe. Such a thing wasnât uncommon.
âRegent Co. once tried to bribe me to get a loan, but I didnât take it. Had 1 taken it and loaned money to that company, the consequences would have been dire. As the president of the bank, Iâm responsible for my depositors.â
âItâs rare to have someone like you with a conscience in the finance. industry,â Rosalie said admiringly.
âDonât be so sure. Iâm not as good as you described me. I just know whatâs good for me, and thatâs something you must learn.â
âI hear you.â
Just then, Rosalieâs phone rang in her room.
âMom, Iâll go take the call.â
She returned to her room with her notebook in hand. After a while, she
ran out of the room with her phone and notebook.
âMom, Iâm sorry. Something urgent came up, and I need to leave right
now.â
âWhat happened?â
âSomething happened to my friend. I need to go help out.â
âIs it very bad? Do you need my help?â
âWellâ¦â A thought suddenly came to Rosalieâs mind. âI might need your help after all. Iâll call you when I get a chance to, but right now, I need to go.â

âArenât you having lunch?â
âI canât, I donât have time. I need to leave right away.â
âShall I send you there?â Sydney chased after her.
âNo need, Mom. I can drive there myself.â
âBe careful on the road, and donât drive so fast. Take it slow and donât beat the red light. Donât panic.â
âGot it, Mom.â
Rosalie slammed the door shut and ran off. Sydney ran to the door,
and sighed.
âThat girl is so anxiousâ¦seriously.â
Suddenly, Sydney was stunned.
What was going on with her?
She was behaving just like Rosalieâs real mom, grumbling about and nagging at her daughter.
Rosalie got into the car and called Yvonne.
âVonnie, whatâs the status right now?â
âItâs bad! My brother will probably get hit today. My dad is super fierce, and he goes all out in his beatings. Heâs been very strict with me and my brother since we were young,â Yvonne said with a trembling voice.
She feared her dad from the depths of her heart.
âCanât you drag things out?â Rosalie asked.
âIâve tried my best to do that. Rose, you said just now that you have a

way to help Sebastian. Is that true?â
âYes, yes. Iâm rushing over right now. The address you sent me is accurate, right?â
âYes, thatâs the address of my familyâs mansion.â
âAlright, Iâm heading over right now. Wait for me at the gate and bring me in.â
âOkay!â Yvonne said. âIâll wait for you.â
Rosalie put her notebook and phone aside, and drove off.
After over half an hour, Rosalie stopped her car right outside a luxurious mansion. With security standing guard at the gate, cars from outside werenât allowed in.
Just then, Yvonne ran over to her and said with a wave of her hand, Rose, Iâm here!â
She immediately instructed one of the security guards to open the gate.
Rosalie drove her car inside. After parking her car, she stepped out with her phone and notebook in hand.
Yvonne ran toward her. âRose, how are you going to help Sebastian? Tell me.â
Her father told Sebastian to come home today. Yvonne found out from the servants at home that her father looked so fierce, it was as if he wanted to devour someone alive. Apparently, Sebastian had lost. a project.
Yvonne was so frightened and worried that something bad might happen to Sebastian. She called Rosalie, not so that she could save Sebastian, but to make her heart ache for him.
She never expected Rosalie to come to her house in a bid to help.
Sebastian.
âI donât have time to explain things to you right now. Letâs go to Sebastian right now! Youâll know in time.â
âOkay,â Yvonne said with a nod.
Rosalie took a few steps, and suddenly felt a discomfort in her stomach. She felt queasy and nauseous.
âRose, whatâs the matter?â Yvonne asked with worry in her voice.
âIâm fine. Letâs hurry inside,â Rosalie said.
She tried to suppress the nausea, and walked forward.
