"I've always felt guilty for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a mother when I was younger and failed to be by your side. I admit, I don't have the right to reprimand you. I'm not slapping you as your mother this time, but as Rose's mother, to protect my own daughter."

Tears welled up in Rosalie's eyes. She was very touched and completely caught off guard that her mother-in-law, whom she had no blood relations with and barely even knew until recently, would do something like this for her.

Rosalie found herself very tragic at times, a failure in both her love life and marriage. Yet other times, she found herself very blessed in other areas. When she was in tears and in misery, when others mistreated her, there was always someone watching over her.

Theodore rubbed his cheek gently with his fingers, and suddenly smirked. "Mother and daughter indeed. Each of you slapped me once. Do you feel great about that now?"

Sydney was furious to see Theodore smile even under such circumstances. "How did you become such a bastard?!"

"Mom, you said it wrongly." Theodore drew near, and went on, "I didn't become a bastard. I was always a bastard, it's just that you couldn't tell."

He smiled triumphantly. "Whatever it is, it's a foregone conclusion that Cynthia and I will get married. No one can stop me. I sincerely invite all of you to be present, but if you refuse to go, I have no choice. My wedding with Cynthia will be held as scheduled. I'm just informing you about it."

His cold tone made everyone's heart freeze.

As it turned out, this was his objective. He called his parents here and said something like this, despite knowing that Rosalie would be around. Not only did he successfully anger his parents, but he even managed to humiliate his ex-wife.

Sydney looked at her son in disbelief, and took a few steps back. "I barely managed to find you an opportunity, and you ended up doing something outrageous like this. I won't ever help you a second time. Never again."
