âUseless wench!â Rosalindâs father, Patrick, coughed several times in pain and scolded Rosalind. Have
you done anything to help the family even though youâve cozied up to Justin all these years?! You
didnât get a single asset from him or marry him after dating him for so long. It seems to me that Justin
doesnât love you at all. Giving birth to a daughter like you is just a waste of money! You useless bitch!â
Rosalindâs eyes were red. Her father had always preferred sons over daughters. When Patrick heard
that his wife, Jean, was pregnant with a girl, he forced her to abort the pregnancy. However, the doctor
said that Jean would no longer have another chance of conceiving if they were to terminate this
pregnancy. Jean also insisted on giving birth to Rosalind.
As a result, after giving birth to Rosalind, Jean was still unable to conceive again. That was why Patrick
hated Rosalind even more.
Rosalind has lived in the shadow of her brother since she was a child. To get attention, she clung to her
aunt, Shannon. Rosalind lost her childlike innocence at a young age and learned how to be scheming
so that she could make a future for herself. She wanted to impress her father and become the most
respected woman in Savrow.
Justin was her first test subject when she was just 8 years old.
Rosalind initially looked down on Justinâs identity as an illegitimate son. Instead, she was more
interested in his eldest brother.
Shannon had told Rosalind to practice with Justin first. Even if Rosalind did not like Justin, it was still
nice to have a wealthy boy as her follower.
Thus, Shannon provided her with the opportunity to become Justinâs savior and the light of redemption
in his time of darkness. That was why Justin was so obsessed with Rosalind.
During this time, Rosalind brought a lot of benefits to the Gold family. But in the end, her father only
regarded her as a tool to gain power. Patrick said that she was worthless if she made the slightest
mistake.
Rosalindâs eyes were filled with hatred. She sneered and thought, âI donât want to help Zeke. He should
just rot in prison for the rest of his life. That way, Gold Corporation will be mine, even if itâs just an
empty shell!â
âThatâs enough, Patrick! Donât say such hurtful things! What can Rose do if Justin refuses to help?!â
Rosalindâs mother, Jean, hurriedly came over to hug her daughter and glared at her husband. âThis is
all your fault! If you hadnât spoiled Zeke to the point where he thinks that heâs above the law, we
wouldnât have ended up like this! You men only know how to take it out on us when things go wrong!â
Patrick was fuming. He reminded himself that his wifeâs sister was Gregory Salvadorâs wife, so he
controlled his anger.
âOur top priority now is to restore our companyâs image as quickly as possible. Secondly, we need to
finalize Rose and Justinâs wedding date.â
Jeanâs eyes turned vicious when she thought of Justinâs refusal to save her son. âIf it doesnât work out,
just find a way to get pregnant. When the time comes, the Salvadors wonât be able to get rid of Rose.â
âMom! Did you forgetâ¦â Rosalind pointed to her belly in panic.
Jean remembered the stretch marks on Roseâs belly that had not been removed yet and sighed in
frustration.
âRose, if it canât be removed, just cover them with tattoos. Thatâs the fastest solution.â
Rosalind was very reluctant to have random tattoos on her belly because she had always been playing
the âgood girlâ persona.
After several courses of laser treatment, her stretch marks were still obvious. If the marks would not
fade by her wedding date, this was her last resort.
At this time, the servants came downstairs with Rosalindâs things.
âMadam, weâve sorted out everything.â
âMom, these are my jewelry boxes! Where are you taking them?!â
âIâm selling these.â
âWhat?! Why? These are my collectibles!â
Rosalind ran over in a panic and grabbed the most valuable box.
Justin gave this ruby pendant named âThe Flaming Heartâ as a token of love. Justin personally flew to
Feranco three times two years ago and stayed there for more than half a month to hire a first-class
jewelry designer to design this necklace for Rosalind.
Although Rosalind did not know how much the pendant cost, such a large ruby was extremely rare. It
would cost at least seven figures. Justin had always been generous to her.
âThe company needs money now. If you and I sell some of our valuable jewelry, we can still keep the
company running. There will be a charity auction in half a month, so we must attend the auction to win
a favorable image for our family! Whatâs more, itâs Old Master Salvadorâs birthday soon. We can buy
something at the auction as his birthday gift. Thatâll kill two birds with one stone!â
Jean looked at her daughter with a lamenting expression, but she still comforted Rosalind. âRose, when
you marry Justin, that boy will buy you all the jewelry you want. Donât worry about it. Donât forgo the big
picture because of a small profit. You will be the future lady boss of Salvador Corporation. We canât
count on your brother anymore, so youâre our only hope!â
Rosalind hesitated for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and handed the jewelry box to her
mother.
