After hearing Rosalie out, Sydney fell silent.

Her first thought was that Theodore was in trouble.

As it turned out, Rosalie stayed up the entire night reading through the documents to identify the problem with Regent Co. not for his sake at all. Quite the opposite she did it for Sebastian. Sydney suddenly laughed, the sound laced with helplessness and irony.

Theodore wasn't the only one who misunderstood the situation. She did, too. She really thought that Rosalie did it for her son, but she never expected...

Rosalie clearly had her priorities in place, more so than Sydney did in her younger days. The girl might look weak and vulnerable, but she had a clear mind and knew exactly what she needed to do. Meanwhile, Rosalie didn't understand why Sydney was laughing. "Mom? What's the matter?"

"Nothing," Sydney said, looking at Rosalie. "So Geoffrey Carter threatened you with his son, and you accepted it because you care about his son very soon?"

"Seb's a good friend of mine," Rosalie explained. "I can't sit idly by and watch that happen to him, so I'll help wherever I can. But it's fine if you're not willing to do it. I'll think of another way." "No need for that," Sydney said. "Tell him that I'll meet him."

Joy filled Rosalie's heart. "Really? Mom, you're okay with seeing him?"

Sydney nodded. "Go ahead and tell him that."
