Chapter 61


    Rosemary became a bit hesitant. "But if I do this, wouldn''t our family''s reputation go down the drain—"


    "Honey, it''s just some fun. What is there to be ashamed about? What, you don''t want to be Mrs.


    Levisay now? You know how exceptional Robert is, don''t you? Now that Joaquin is disabled, the family


    would belong to Robert sooner orter. There''s innumerable families better off than us in Hovington


    and there''s even more qualified women than you in this city. Are you so sure that you can capture his


    heart?"


    Katherine patted her on the shoulder while breaking the cruel reality to her.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    This made Rosemary''s expression change into a sour one.


    Indeed, Katherine was right: it would be an intensepetition to be Robert''s wife. Besides the


    point that Katherine was Joaquin''s fiancé, there was nothing else Rosemary had a leg up over the


    others.


    No matter how much Lisa set her facade up to be some genius or sophisticated woman, Rosemary


    knew her strength very well. Words were merely words at the end of the day. If she really was


    compared to others, she knew that she could not win.


    Looking at the little pouch, Rosemary remained a little reluctant. "Are you sure this would work?"


    "Of course, it would. Even elephants are affected by it." Katherine was very confident.


    This was the form she created herself. Besides doing the deed, there was no other way one could


    fix the symptoms upon consuming it.


    Even though Katherine felt a bit sorry toward Robert, she had been doing her fair share of investigating


    him. Robert, who might seem like an upright man on the surface, was actually a fairly cruel and


    disgusting individual underneath. So, she deemed that it was not much of a loss if he were to be


    implicated in her schemes.


    "Ok! I''ll believe you! If you dare to lie to me, I will never let you off the hook, Katherine!" Rosemary took


    a deep breath and decided to risk it all.


    She had to be Mrs. Levisay no matter what!


    Now that Lisa had been sent to North Peak Nursery Home, she knew that news of this would leak soon


    enough.


    Once that happened and everyone knew that she had an insane mother, who would dare to marry her,


    fearing that she, too, might go insane in the future?


    This really was the perfect opportunity.


    With so many guests present, even if Robert tried to deny it when the dust settled, his family would not


    be able to do so; even by force, she would make him marry her!


    Clutching the little pouch in her hands, she left in a hurry to a secluded spot before secretly mixing the


    powder into the wine.


    The white powder immediately dissolved in the wine and left no trace.


    With an elevated heartbeat, Rosemary returned to Robert''s side as if nothing happened before offering


    the wine to him. "Fancy a drink, Robert?"


    He looked at her while smiling harmlessly and epting the drink, but he was looking down on her on


    the inside.


    Women like Rosemary often threw themselves at him, especially after Joaquin''s ident.


    Sipping the wine, he thanked Rosemary.


    "Hey… The banquet''s a bit boring, isn''t it? How about we go somewhere quieter? Like upstairs?"


    Rosemary, who saw him drink from the ss, was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out


    from her mouth, so she quickly extended her invitation.


    At once, Robert knew what she was aiming for as his impression of her grew worse, but he still rejected


    her gently. "Miss Cornell. Isn''t it a bit inappropriate for a man and woman to be alone?"


    "I-It''s fine. W-We''ll just be chatting upstairs. After all, it''s a bit inconvenient with so many people here."


    Rosemary blushed while clutching her skirt.


    Suddenly, Robert found himself bing warmer while looking at her.


    Paying no heed to this, he only thought that he might have had a bit too much to drink.


    Yet, Rosemary''s embarrassed look did awaken something in him.


    Since she asked for it… He smiled before nodding.


    The two proceeded to leave the crowd and went upstairs.


    Downstairs, Katherine saw the two enter the room. With a smile, she took a sip of her juice with a


    yful gaze.


    I wonder how happy Jorge will be when he knows what is about to happen?


    He''s always wanted Rosemary to be married to the Levisays. Now, he finally got his wish.


    Finishing the juice in one go, Katherine was about to go look for something to eat when she turned


    around and saw Joaquin sitting there, smiling at her with unknown intentions.


    Slightly guilty, she touched her nose and stuttered, "Um… How long have you been here?"


    "When you gave Rosemary the drug and wanted her to spike Robert''s drink." Joaquin smiled and


    gazed at Katherine, looking very mysterious.


    Feeling her heart skip a beat, she did not think that he would witness that.


    Still, she kept her calm and replied, "So, shouldn''t you thank me for helping you?"


    "Hm. Then, thank you, I guess?" Joaquin replied naturally.


    This made Katherine speechless as she found the man in front of her to not be easily deceived. He''s


    too sharp. I don''t like this.


    At this point, Katherine was starting to regret her decision. If her fiancé was too smart, her life after


    marriage might not be as smooth as she thought it would be. What if she slipped up identally?


    Just as she was looking at Joaquin, wondering what were the consequences of annuling their


    engagement, the host had finished his speech and invited Jorge to step onstage in a sea of apuse.


    She lifted her head to gaze toward the stage as the corner of her lips curled with anticipation. Now, let''s


    see the look on your face.


    As the guests watched Jorge walk on stage, he took the microphone from the host.


    Yet, just as he was about to open his mouth, the lights dimmed with a projection appearing behind him.


    Before they could react to this, a video started ying on the screen.


    It was a bedroom and in it spotted a man and woman kissing passionately.


    "Wow!"


    "Isn''t that Mr. Robert Levisay?"


    "I think the woman is the daughter of the Cornells, Rosemary."


    "My God. Is this live?"


    "Is this some special show to spice up the event?"


    The guests fell into heated discussion while the elderly group blushed, feeling second-hand


    embarrassment for them.


    Hera, who did not expect this to happen, felt a shortness of breath and nearly had a heart attack.


    Stunned by this, Jorge only turned around after losing hisposure for a while when the live sound


    came from the speaker.


    The scene made his blood gush straight to his head and his eyes rolled backward, making him faint out


    of sheer anger.


    Seeing how chaotic it was getting, Katherine ced down the winess in her hand.


    Joaquin turned and looked at her only to find an expressionless face with cold eyes.


    Pursing his lips, he stayed silent before directing his gaze to the video with a mysterious look.


    "Turn that off! Quick! Shut that down!"


    Hera managed to react to the situation as she clutched her chest and shouted.


    The Cornell''s butler rushed to shut the projector down, but the chaos did not end there.


    Since it was Jorge''s birthday today, not only were there plenty of guests, some paparazzis had also


    managed to snuck in. Originally, they only wanted to see if they could get an exclusive scoop, yet they


    never thought that such an outrageous scandal would happen before their eyes. Instantaneously, the


    paparazzis recorded the scene excitedly without any care for how messy the venue had be. With


    a fresh scoop on their hands, they quickly hurried back and started writing up their most breaking


    headlines.
