Chapter 2071


    ?


    Otherwise, one day, Thssa would turn her back on him with the same cold indifference!


    Burdened with bias and bitterness, Rosalind aimed to smear Thssa''s name in front of Lysander, hoping to tarnish Thssa''s image in his eyes. But she was clueless about how childish andughable her attempts appeared to Lysander. Lysander and Thssa had weathered storms together to find their slice of happiness. He knew Thssa inside out; how could he doubt her over Rosalind''s petty words? Instead, Rosalind''s desperate tries to discredit Thssa only fueled his disdain.


    "Ms. Whitman, you think you can nder my wife and get away with it? Apologize to her now!" Lysander''s eyes were sharp as daggers, cutting right through Rosalind''s heart. His tone was firm and icy, leaving no room for negotiation but demandingpliance.


    Rosalind paled, “I.....”


    His gaze frightened her, making her step back, but Lysander''s presence was too overpowering, filling the room with an inescapable pressure. Seeking help, Rosalind nced towards Joshua.


    Catching the signal, Joshua chuckled, "Rosalind was just speaking out of turn, she didn''t mean it."


    He was trying to cover for Rosalind. But his words were like pouring salt on Thssa''s already wounded heart. See, no matter what happens, Joshua''s first instinct was to shield his darling daughter. Even though Rosalind was the one who disrespected Thssa first, Joshua wasn''t looking to defend Thssa but to make excuses for Rosalind! One second he felt guilty for failing Thssa, and the next, he instinctively smothered Rosalind with all his love, sidelining Thssa.


    Thssa''s brows furrowed, suppressing the difort rising inside her. Noticing Thssa''s unease, Lysander grasped her hand in his, his voice cold as he continued.


    “We''re all adults here. You should know better than to let your mouth run wild. You''ll face the consequences one way or another! Apologize, or crawl out of here, your choice!"


    As Lysander finished, his piercing


    gaze shifted toward the door.


    Rosalind''s eyes followed, only to see

    two imposing bouncers already positioned at the entrance, their stares menacing. Clearly, they were ready to enforce her departure. And there, beside one bouncer, stood Lysander''s right-hand man, David, awaiting her decision with an expectant look.


    The moment Rosalind''s eyes met David''s, she felt utterly humiliated, her face a canvas of awkwardness and shame, Had David not been there, her embarrassment might have been somewhat bearable In those few seconds, Rosalind''s emotions churned, her face flushing with embarrassment. She knew even her father couldn''t save her now.


    After a couple of deep breaths, she lowered her head, murmuring, "I''m sorry."


    "What was that? Louder, I didn''t catch that!" Lysander barked.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Startled, Rosalind shivered, lifted her head to face Thssa, took a deep breath, and continued, "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have said what I did. It was stupid of me. Please don''t stoop to my level of foolishness."
