Chapter 57

Chapter 57

“Useless wench!” Rosalind’s father, Patrick, coughed several times in pain and scolded Rosalind. Have you done anything to help the family even though you’ve cozied up to Justin all these years?! You didn’t get a single asset from him or marry him after dating him for so long. It seems to me that Justin doesn’t love you at all. Giving birth to a daughter like you is just a waste of money! You useless bitch!”

Rosalind’s 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 Justin’s 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 Justin’s 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.

Rosalind’s eyes were filled with hatred. She sneered and thought, ‘I don’t 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 it’s just an empty shell!’

“That’s enough, Patrick! Don’t say such hurtful things! What can Rose do if Justin refuses to help?!”

Rosalind’s mother, Jean, hurriedly came over to hug her daughter and glared at her husband. “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t spoiled Zeke to the point where he thinks that he’s above the law, we wouldn’t have ended up like this! You men only know how to take it out on us when things go wrong!”

Patrick was fuming. He reminded himself that his wife’s sister was Gregory Salvador’s wife, so he controlled his anger.

“Our top priority now is to restore our company’s image as quickly as possible. Secondly, we need to finalize Rose and Justin’s wedding date.”

Jean’s eyes turned vicious when she thought of Justin’s refusal to save her son. “If it doesn’t work out, just find a way to get pregnant. When the time comes, the Salvadors won’t be able to get rid of Rose.”

“Mom! Did you forget…” Rosalind pointed to her belly in panic.

Jean remembered the stretch marks on Rose’s belly that had not been removed yet and sighed in frustration.

“Rose, if it can’t be removed, just cover them with tattoos. That’s the fastest solution.”

Rosalind was very reluctant to have random tattoos on her belly because she had always been playing the “good girl” 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 Rosalind’s things.

“Madam, we’ve sorted out everything.”

“Mom, these are my jewelry boxes! Where are you taking them?!”

“I’m selling these.”

“What?! Why? These are my collectibles!”

Rosalind ran over in a panic and grabbed the most valuable box.

Justin gave this ruby pendant named “The Flaming Heart” 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.

“The 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! What’s more, it’s Old Master Salvador’s birthday soon. We can buy something at the auction as his birthday gift. That’ll kill two birds with one stone!”

Jean looked at her daughter with a lamenting expression, but she still comforted Rosalind. “Rose, when you marry Justin, that boy will buy you all the jewelry you want. Don’t worry about it. Don’t forgo the big picture because of a small profit. You will be the future lady boss of Salvador Corporation. We can’t count on your brother anymore, so you’re our only hope!”

Rosalind hesitated for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and handed the jewelry box to her mother.
