Chapter 17


    Rosalind thought Leonardo would be angry. After all, her words were sharp. ording to Leonardo’s


    proud nature, he should be furious.


    However, Leonardo’s words went beyond Rosalind’s imagination.


    She thought, “Did it matter when I came back?


    Did he think I died five years ago?


    Five years ago, the Brocks Group framed the Jansen Group and put the Jansen Group on the verge of


    bankruptcy. My dad jumped off a building. My mom and I were homeless because the Jansen vi was


    taken over by the bank. After losing the Jansen Group, my family and I lost the Brooks family.


    If Lyle hadn’t helped me at that time, perhaps my children and I would have died!”


    Thinking of this, Rosalind’s clear eyes became cold.


    Rosalind snapped, “When did Ie back? Mr. Brooks, it seems to have nothing to do with you!”


    “What are you talking about? You’re my wife!” Leonardo retorted subconsciously


    Rosalind sneered, “Ex–wile! If I remember correctly, we divorced five years ago. Mr. Brooks, have you


    forgotten that?”


    Rosalind stared indifferently at Leonardo, the man she had loved for so many years but had never


    loved her.


    She thought, “Has he forgotten what happened five years ago? How dare he forget how messed up I


    was when I left the hospital with the divorce agreement and left the Brooks family?


    How dare he say that I am his wile?


    Humph! Interesting.”


    Hearing Rosalind’s words, Leonardo frowned even tighter. His eyes were full ofplexity when he


    looked at Rosalind.


    He didn’t expect that Rosalind would talk to him in such a joking but cold and even mocking tone after


    five years.


    He thought, “Has she forgotten that she left without saying goodbye? It has been so many years. She


    didn’t even bother to exin to me!


    Am I the only one who has suffered all these years!”


    Thinking of what happened five years ago, Leonardo wanted to exin it to Rosalind. He wanted to tell


    her that the divorce agreement he had given her five years ago was not his intention but a


    misunderstanding


    Leonardo murmured, “Five years ago…”


    Rosalind sneered and interrupted Leonardo, “Mr. Brooks, if you are here to talk about the old days, just


    save your words. I have long forgotten those people and things that are not worth remembering!


    After saying that, Rosalind didn’t want to stay in the same ce as Leonardo anymore. When


    Leonardo was stunned, she directly walked past Leonardo!


    Leonardo was dumbfounded at Rosalind’s words. He muttered in a low voice, “People and things that


    are not worth remembering?”


    Leonardo thought, ‘What did she mean?


    Was the past years not worth it in her heart?


    How could she think that way?


    She left and disappeared just as I fell in love with her. Now she’s back and she’s telling me she regrets


    ever being with me!


    Not worth it?


    How could she do this to me?


    Rosalind, how could you do that?”


    Leonardo wanted to talk to Rosalind, but when he came hack to his senses, he found that Rosaline had


    already gone far!


    Rosalind left without a second thought, but Leonardo found even her back so charming!


    Leonardo thought, “Rosalind, just wait and seet This is not the end!”


    In the evening, in Yanna and Kevin’s room…


    “So Yar?na, Dn is his son?” asked Kevin unhappily.


    Keyin sat at the table and looked at Yanna with a displeased look on his face.


    “Didn’t you hear what our ssmates said? He is the young master of the Brooks Group. He’s a bully


    who bullies his ssmates in kindergarten when he’s unhappy” Yanna said in disgust with her chin


    resting on her hand.


    17:11


    Kevin blurted out, “Why is he so stupid? How can he be that man’s sont Then he will be…”


    Kevin stopped speaking, II Dn was Leonardo’s son, then they were half–siblings.


    He couldn’t ept it.


    Yanna went on, “Now you know who’s smarter. We’re smart because our mom is Rosalind! Dn is


    stupid because that man is stupid. By the way, what’s his mom’s name?”


    “Virginia!” Kevin called out.


    “Whatever. He picked Virginia over Rosalind because he’s stupid!” pouted Yanna.


    Yanna’s cheeks were chubby.


    “You.. You’re right!” Kevin agreed.


    “Don’t tell Rosalind about this, or she’ll transfer us to another school!” Kevin said as he rolled his eyes.


    Kevin was no longer a three–year–old kid, and he knew how to keep a secret!


    “Ms. Jansen… There’s a handsome guy waiting for you downstairs!” said Susan, Rosalind’s secretary,


    cautiously.


    As Susan said this, she pointed at the window hesitantly with a weird expression.


    Rosalind frowned and thought, “What happened?”


    Looking downstairs in the direction of Susan’s finger, Rosalind’s lips twitched!


    It was Jonas, who was leaning against a conspicuous red Porsche. He was holding a bouquet of red


    roses and wearing a white suit, which nicely outlined his well–proportioned and slender figure.

    But none of this mattered. The most important thing was the two people standing behind him, who were


    holding a huge banner that read, “Amanda, I’m into you. I’m here for you!”


    Another man was ying the guitar next to Jonas. The scene was somewhat “grand“.


    However, Rosalind felt a headache when she saw all this!


    She thought, “Damn Jonas is he a high school student?


    Why is he doing this? It’s super awkward!”


    A few days ago, Jonas put on the Pink Star for Rosalind in front of the audience, which caused wide


    discussions among the citizens of Haldorin.


    Rosalind would die of shame if something like that happened again!


    “Tell the guards to get rid of them!” snapped Rosalind.


    Rosalind rubbed her forehead and wanted to settle this quickly


    “What?” blurted out Susan.


    Susan thought, “Get rid of them? Seriously?


    But he is so handsome!”


    Susan muttered, “Ms. Jansen, but he’s Jonas Macay, the oldest son of the Macay family, your


    rumored boyfriend. Do you really want the guards to drive him away?”


    To be honest, Susan wara little envious of Rosalind. Not long ago, the CEO of the Brooks Group invited


    Rosalind for dinner, and today, Jonas Macay pursued Rosalind publicly


    Susan wondered why Ms. Jansen had turned them both down.


    Rosalind snapped, “Am I not making myself clear, or can’t you understand what I said?”


    Rosalinded her eyes and nced at Susan. She was starting to think about hiring a more obedient and


    smarter secretary!


    Looking at Rosalind’s coldce, Susan didn’t dare to say anymore. She went to inform the guards with


    an awkward smile!


    Rosalind had thought Jonas would be upset, but Jonas quickly left when the guards drove him away
