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 couldn't go on sleeping. Otherwise, she wouldn't 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 weren't 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, "Mom, I found many issues last night. Look, these are Regent Co.'s data from the previous quarter..."

"I read them," Sydney cut her off as she put her groceries on the table. "I 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."

"Mom, with such a high leverage ratio and clear signs of falsifying data, how in the world did they bypass the regulators and get listed?"

Sydney smiled, but didn't say anything. She simply looked straight into Rosalie's eyes for a few seconds.

Rosalie immediately understood what she meant.

It was none other than a bribe. Such a thing wasn't uncommon.

"Regent Co. once tried to bribe me to get a loan, but I didn't take it. Had I taken it and loaned money to that company, the consequences would have been dire. As the president of the bank, I'm responsible for my depositors."

"It's rare to have someone like you with a conscience in the finance industry," Rosalie said admiringly.

"Don't be so sure. I'm not as good as you described me. I just know what's good for me, and that's something you must learn."

"I hear you."
