âRose, this is a good opportunity for you to make a comeback!â
Jean squeezed Rosalind excitedly. âYou should think of a way now to make Justin come to you right
away. You have to let him see this so he can completely give up on that little whore, Anna!â
âBut Justin is working now. He rarely went shopping with me on weekends in the past. Itâs even less
likely that he will come out now. Besidesâ¦â
Rosalindâs eyes darkened, and she lowered her voice and said, âI just regained favor with Justin by
saying that I have severe depression. I need to behave these days and capture his heart, so I canât be
reckless and cause trouble again.â
âYouâre so stupid!â
Jean jabbed Rosalindâs forehead with her sharp nails. âHeâs at work, so it would be foolish for you to
ask him to accompany you shopping. But if you have a valid reason, it will be a good opportunity to get
closer to him! You canât keep being considerate. Men wonât like you if you are too obedient. They like a
challenge. He will only feel important if you call him when you have trouble or an emergency. That way,
he will feel proud and superior that you rely on him.â
Rosalindâs eyes flickered. She actually disagreed with her motherâs words.
In the past, when her father was powerful and the family was well off, her mother clung to her father
like a koala bear. In the end, her father paid less attention to her mother. Patrick even kept several
lovers and disrespected Jean in front of the servants at home.
Jean had no choice but to endure all those grievances just to keep her title as Mrs. Gold. She was 50
years old, but the Gold family fell into decline, and her husband was suffering from chronic illness. Now,
Jean only had the status of Mrs. Gold, but she was reduced to a laughingstock in the elite circle. Her
whole life had been wasted.
âIâll call Justin later and tell him that you are shopping alone and that I couldnât contact you. He knows
that youâre not emotionally stable recently, so if he loves you, he will drop everything and come find
you.â
Jean held Rosalindâs shoulders and smirked. âWhen the time comes, Justin will hate Anna even more
when he sees his best friend hooking up with his ex-wife!â
After a meeting, Justin returned to his office and received a call from Jean.
âMrs. Gold.â His tone was cold.
âMr. Salvador! Has Rose contacted you?â Jean asked nervously.
âNo, what happened?â
âRose said she was feeling a little down, so she wanted to go out for a walk. I wanted to accompany
her, but she refused. She said she didnât want me to treat her as a patient, so I didnât follow her⦠But
itâs been a few hours now, and I couldnât get through to her on the phone. When I called her again, her
phone was turned off. Do you think something happened to her?â
Justinâs heart clenched when he recalled that Rosalind had severe depression. He asked in a deep
voice, âDid Rose tell you where she went?â
âShe said she wanted to go shopping in the newly opened department store near the KS World Hotel,
but she didnât say anything else.â
âOkay, I understand. Iâm going to find her now. Sheâll be fine.â
After hanging up the phone, Justin frowned, grabbed his suit jacket, and walked out.
âGet the car.â
Justin arrived at the mall as quickly as possible. He walked around in a hurry, looking for Rosalind while
calling her.
Finally, the call was connected. Rosalindâs soft voice came through. âJustinâ¦â
âRose, where are you? Iâm at Century Mall now!â Justinâs voice was filled with worry.
âI feel a tightness in my chest, so Iâm sitting in the elevator lobby on the second floor.â
âDonât move. Iâll be right there!â
Justin strode over and found Rosalind as quickly as possible.
âJustin!â
Rosalindâs eyes were teary as she stood up and threw herself at Justin. âYouâre here⦠Iâm fine. I donât
feel uncomfortable anymore.â
âYour mother called you earlier. Why didnât you answer the phone?â Justin asked with concern.
Rosalind hurriedly found an excuse and said, âMy phone ran out of battery, so I was searching for a
power bank to recharge it.â
âNext time you go out, you must get someone to accompany you, okay? Donât go out alone.â Justin
took a deep breath and held her.
âJustin, I only want you to accompany me. I donât want anyone else.â Rosalind rubbed her face against
the manâs chest and snickered in her heart.
Rosalind was glad that she listened to her mother this time. This showed that Justin still cared about
her, and she was the most important person to him.
At this moment, they could hear faint whispers around them.
âOh, look at that young couple. That girl is so beautiful. They look like movie stars!â
âThat young man is quite handsome too. He has a really good figure. Itâs obvious that heâs rich.â
Justin heard it, but he was not a curious person, so he did not look back.
Rosalind, on the other hand, suddenly gasped in shock.
âJustin, look! What a coincidence!â
Justin looked back expressionlessly. He was stunned by what he saw.
The next second, his charming eyes turned red, as if two balls of flame were ignited in them.
