Chapter 163
After washing up, Rosalind asked Leonardo to sit still, peeled a boiled egg, and carefully rolled it on his
forehead.
“It’s said that doing so can reduce the swelling fast without causing bruises. Bear with it.”
“OK…”
His low and husky voice sounded sweet to Rosalind.
Leonardo fixed his gaze on Rosalind as she was quietly taking care of the wound on his forehead.
Neither of them talked, yet they didn’t feel awkward. Instead, there was a trace of tranquility, peace,
and happiness around them.
Now Rosalind no longer red at him, shut him out from him, or kept a distance from him intentionally
or unintentionally, Leonardo thought it would be good too if she kept treating him this way for the rest of
his life.
“What are you doing?”
After a short while, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, causing a creak that hurt
Rosalind’s eardrum, and she frowned ufortably.
Rosalind and Leonardo turned around and saw Virginia in a white snow ke dress standing at the
door angrily, her eyes filled with shock, anger, and grievance.
Rosalind was not happy at the sight of Virginia.
Virginia had been fighting against her for a long time. Rosalind had once. dragged her into theke and
tortured her, but that didn’t keep her away from Rosalind.
Rosalind still remembered that Virginia kept persuading Leonardo to terminate the contract with her
when she confronted Lucy yesterday.
Rosalind just didn’t have time to deal with Virginia yesterday as it was chaotic.
Suddenly, Rosalind wondered if what happened yesterday had anything to do with Virginia.

Chapter 163
If there was someone who hated Rosalind the most and wanted her to
leave Brooks Group, that person should be Virginia.
Could it be Virginia?
Thinking of this, Rosalind raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Virginia with a faint smile.
“What are we doing? Can’t you see it?”
Virginia hated to see Rosalind act like there was nothing to make a fuss about.
Earlier, Virginia was very happy to learn that Rosalind had been besieged. by people, but when she
heard Leonardo protecting her in front of so many people and even getting injured, Virginia became
jealous.
How could Leonardo do that? How was she supposed to handle it?
“Rosalind, you’re in the office. W-What will others think of Leonardo if they see you doing so?”
Virginia was angry, but she couldn’t flip out in front of Leonardo.
Leonardo was fond of women who were gentle. She must show her perfection and tenderness in front
of him.
“They can think however they want.”
Rosalind disdained Virginia for pretending to be sensible and piteous. Since Virginia wanted to pretend
and act, Rosalind didn’t mind ying along.
In the past, Virginia was so unscrupulous in front of her. Now Rosalind had nothing to lose and could
be unscrupulous.
Leonardo looked at Rosalind’s arrogant face and thought that she was so cute. Rosalind was always
feisty and behaved unscrupulously in front of Virginia.
Leonardo even wondered if Rosalind was being jealous and if Rosalind would be more jealous if he
interacted with Virginia more.
“You…” Virginia clenched her fists behind her, but she held back her words. She turned around and
looked at Leonardo with a warm smile.
“Leonardo, why didn’t you tell me about your injury? You shouldn’t trouble Rosalind. Mom will me
me for not taking good care of you if

she knows.”
Then she walked to Leonardo with a gentle smile.
“Danny has been asking about you these days. He said he hadn’t seen Dad for a long time. Let’s
spend some time with him tonight.”
After saying that, Virginia looked at Rosalind with a proud face. As expected, Rosalind’s expression
was gloomy, and Virginia’s eyes were full of mockery and gloating smiles.
Even though Rosalind had a sharp tongue, she wouldn’t end up with Leonardo as long as Maria
disliked her.
Besides, Virginia had a son with Leonardo. She didn’t believe Rosalind really wouldn’t mind that at all.
Virginia was right. Rosalind did mind that.
Rosalind still had a vivid memory of how Maria had disgusted, tortured, and insulted her.
And Dn would be the forever obstacleing between her and Leonardo.
Rosalind smiled bitterly. She almost forgot everything she had suffered in the past due to the frequent
interaction with Leonardo these days, especially when the evidence showed that he had nothing to do
with the clothes poisoning case of the Jansen Group and the death of Nafis.
Leonardo was protective of her, took special care of her, and helped her investigate the case and deal
with Lucy.
Rosalind admitted that Leonardo treated herpletely differently from five years ago, and sometimes
she even had the illusion that Leonardo loved her.
How could Rosalind forget the indelible harm between them? And the existence of Dn and Virginia
was the very evidence of how Leonardo had hurt her.
With a racing mind, she remainedposed, slowly put down the egg, and smiled at Leonardo and
Virginia.
“Since you want to curry favor, you go ahead.”
It was not until Rosalind left that Leonardo came back to his senses from
the beautiful life he had fantasized about. Looking at Virginia’s gentle

smile and proud face, Leonardo felt disgusted.
“Didn’t I tell you not toe to my office?”
His voice was cold, emotionless.
“I… I care about you. I rushed over immediately after learning that you were injured. Why did you even
block those people? What if they sshed sulfuric acid at you?”
Virginia frowned slightly, picked up the egg, and was about to roll it on Leonardo’s forehead, but before
she could reach Leonardo, he dodged
away.
“Get out!”
Leonardo didn’t care about Virginia at all. Rosalind was upset and he wanted to drive Virginia away so
that he could go find her.
“Leonardo…”
Virginia wanted to speak but was interrupted by Leonardo.
“Get out!”
Virginia bit her lips and ran out with red eyes as if she had been greatly wronged.
Seeing Virginia leave, Leonardo was going to find Rosalind and exin to her, especially about Dn.
He had been reluctant to talk about his family, afraid that Rosalind would see the dark side of his family,
which would affect how Rosalind thought of him.
But the existence of Dn became an obstacle between him and Rosalind. If he didn’t make it clear,
Rosalind would always be separated from him.
Leonardo intended to make a change, so he decided to tell Rosalind the truth, which meant she would
learn about the nastiness of his family and his father.
However, Jacob hurriedly rushed over before Leonardo walked out of the office.N?velDrama.Org content rights.
