Chapter 60


    Sarah tried hard to persuade Wilma. After all, her father and two brothers had promised her that


    they would give her 6,000 dors out of the 60,000 dors.


    The 6,000 dors was equivalent to her one–year sry!


    However, no matter what Sarah and Luke said, Wilma did not agree with them. In the end, Sarah


    said ruthlessly, “Daniel and Edward said that if this deal went off because of you, they’d me you


    for life if Henry and Richard couldn’t afford to buy a house or marry a wife!”


    Wilma was angry and anxious. “You guys… Do you guys have any conscience? Have you forgotten


    how Rosalie treated us before?”


    Sarah smiled. “Mom, let the past be the past. We should focus on the present. You can’t risk all of


    us and ruin the future of the younger generations just for her. Besides, Rosalie is part of the reason


    why Henry and Richard can’t find themselves a wife. A girl from a good family will never be willing to


    get married to them after hearing that one of our family members was once a prisoner! If Henry and


    Richard don’t have a marital home, it would be even more impossible for them to get married.”


    Wilma gritted his teeth for a while. Then, she looked at her third daughter with tearful eyes. “W–


    Won’t you feel ashamed in front of your sister?”


    Sarah did not take the question seriously. As Rosalie’s mother had been dead for so many years,


    Sarah’s affection toward her had diminished as time flew by. Furthermore, money was more


    practical than the rtionship between her and herte sister.


    Rosalie was surrounded by several cousins in the front hall. Fiona Haberly, her elder cousin said


    with a faint smile while snacking, “Grandpa said that he has asked your father about you. Your


    father said that you are just a sweeper now. Is it true?”


    Fiona was only one year older than Rosalie. However, when they were younger, Fiona would be


    downgraded when peoplepared her to Rosalie. Rosalie was a top student since young. On the


    other hand, Fiona could not even get into any university. Eventually, she went to work after


    graduating from high school and then married a cksmith in the neighboring town.

    At that time, Zachary, the son of a wealthy family, was still Rosalie’s boyfriend. Thus, when Fiona


    compared her husband to Zachary, she would feel defeated and ashamed.


    Upon seeing Rosalie facing her downfall, Fiona naturally wanted to belittle her.


    “Yes. I work as a sweeper now,” Rosalie said indifferently.


    “Poor you. What’s the use of going to a university like you when you’ve ended up sweeping floors?


    Haha. But, in the future, you might not need-” Before Fiona could finish her words, Henry Lopez,


    Rosalie’s cousin, winked at her.


    Only then did Fiona stop continuing her sentence. Then, she looked at Rosalie with an expression


    as if she was going to watch a show and thought, “Humph! No matter how good she is at studying,


    she’ll have no choice but to marry a dimwit soon. I want to see what Rosalie would look like after


    she gets married to the dimwit.”


    At night, Rosalie finally met Wilma at the New Year’s Eve dinner. As soon as Wilma saw her, she


    held thetter with teary eyes for a while.


    “You must have suffered a lot, didn’t you? It’s all because of my weak body. I couldn’t help you


    when something happened to you back then.” Wilma choked.


    Before Rosalie could answer, Fiona said, “Grandma, thew was ying its role. That’s why she


    was imprisoned. She was guilty and deserved to be punished!”


    Wilma red at Fiona, who then shut up resentfully.


    Rosalie shook her head and said to Wilma, “Fortunately, I didn’t suffer a lot. Besides, I’m released


    now. I’ll visit here often and be more filial to you and Granddad in the future.”

    Upon hearing her words, Wilma felt even more sad.


    Luke and the others were afraid that Wilma would spoil their n, so they hurriedly asked everyone


    to sit down and have New Year’s Eve dinner together. During dinner, Daniel, Edward, and Sarah


    kept persuading Rosalie to have some wine.


    “Today is a special day. It won’t hurt if you drink some wine. You shoulde back and visit your


    grandparents more in the future,” Sarah said with a smile.


    Rosalie replied with a smile, “I’ve stopped drinking, Aunt Sarah. You


    10:37


    should know that I was charged with drunk driving when I got into that car ident. I would never


    dare to drink again.”


    Upon hearing Rosalie’s words, Sarah instantly choked and could onlyugh awkwardly.


    Daniel coaxed, “It’s New Year’s Eve today, Rosalie. You can have a ss or two. You don’t drive


    now anyway.”


    “That’s right. If you don’t drink it, we’ll feel disrespected!” Edward also said.


    Wilma suddenly shouted, “That’s enough! Your consciences have been swallowed by dogs. Do you


    really want to push Rosalie into the fire?” Instantly, no one spoke at the table. At the same time,


    Rosalie looked at Wilma in surprise.


    Wilma said to her, “Rosalie, they have ill intentions toward you. They want to marry you off to the


    dimwit of the Foster family. In return, they’ll obtain 60,000 dors. They-”


    Before Wilma could finish her words, Luke interrupted, “What’s wrong with the Foster family? She


    thought, “Did I treat her badly? “The Foster family doesn’t think that she has been in prison. What


    kind of good family do you think she can marry now?”


    “That’s right. The 20,000 dors given by the Foster family can be used to buy houses for Henry


    and Richard. You owe them, Rosalie. If you hadn’t been in jail, they would have found a good date.”


    Fiona added fuel to the fire as she spoke.


    Rosalie stood up and nced at her rtives coldly. “I won’t marry him! I don’t owe you guys any


    favor. I’d rather owe an outsider but you guys a favor!”


    She turned to Wilma and said, “Grandma, I’ll pay you a visit next time.” After finishing her words,


    she intended to leave. However, Daniel and Edward Lopez, her uncles, stopped her.


    “You’re not allowed to leave! No matter what you think, you’re going to get married!” Daniel said


    fiercely.


    Rosalie looked at her cousins, Henry and his younger brother, Richard Lopez, sitting not far away.


    She remembered that when they were young, they used to y together and had a good


    rtionship. “Do you guys also want me to marry a dimwit?”


    Henry replied, “You should feel d the Foster family is willing to ept


    you. Otherwise, do you think you can find yourself a quality husband?” Meanwhile, Richard shrank


    and said awkwardly, “I–I need to have a marital home when I get myself a wifeter. I have no other


    choice.”


    “I shouldn’t have had any expectations for Henry and Richard. In the end, I ended up feeling


    disappointed again,” Rosalie thought andughed at herself. She took a deep breath and dered


    to everyone. “I won’t marry that dimwit!”


    The next moment, Luke pped her in the face. “How dare you refuse to marry! There is no room


    for bargaining!”


    In the VIP ward of the hospital, there was a round table full of New Year’s Eve dinners. However,


    only two people were eating.


    Jonathan slowly ate the food in front of him. Meanwhile, Leonard, sitting opposite him, watched the


    nurse serve food to his te.
