Rosy was reminded of the contract she asked Alice to sign. She’s been abiding by the terms really well. “She’s not as bad as the rumors say she is.”

“Told you the rumors can’t be trusted. Only fools do that.” Lawrence never trusted any rumors. He knew barely any of them were true.

“But it’s true she wanted to marry Bruce. She even gave him her company before they got married.” Rosy heaved a sigh. “But she does know her place in the family, at least.”

Lawrence looked at her and cocked his brow. “A bit too much, I reckon.”

“Isn’t that good?” Rosy shot him a weird look. That makes things easier when it comes to the breakup.

“The fact she’s doing her part too well means she’s calm and collected. It means she has nothing she wants from us. None at all.” Lawrence paused for a moment, then he added, “And she expects nothing from our family or its members.”

She’s calm, collected, and won’t even be fazed even when presented with a mountain of wealth. Even if the best man in the world were to stand in front of her, she wouldn’t fall for him if she thinks he’s not hers. She knows her place in the family. She knows her role, and she doesn’t expect anything from Ethan. Yes, she doesn’t feel any affection for him. Judging from her attitude, that won’t change anytime soon.
