Chapter 93
Roseanne’s voice dropped with disappointment as she replied, “He hung up on me.”
Sophie faltered for a second but quickly recovered to offer a smooth explanation. “It’s a weekday. He’s busy. Maybe he’s in a meeting, right?”
She glanced at her daughter and continued in a reassuring tone, “Look, sweetie, let’s just have the driver pick us up for now. You can reach out to him later, maybe after work.
“And this time, don’t be stubborn like you were three years ago. Apologize to him properly and make it up with him, you know?”
With the whole lookalike wife and sudden divorce situation in mind, Roseanne actually felt more confident than ever. So when her mother comforted her, she easily bought into it.
Roseanne huffed, “I’m not apologizing to him. We’ve lost contact for three years. Now I’m the one reaching out, and he doesn’t even answer my call. The next time I see him, I’m not speaking to him first.”
Despite her words, the playful lilt in her voice and the slight curve of her lips told a different story.
Sophie saw the teasing smile on her daughter’s face and knew she had successfully convinced her.
To be honest, if Sophie hadn’t already found out that Rosalie looked like her daughter, or if Matteo hadn’t assured them that Julian filed for divorce right after hearing Roseanne was coming back, even she wouldn’t be so sure about Julian’s feelings.
‘Good thing we still have time to fix things. Roseanne just needs to secure Julian’s heart once and for all. If she does, Ascend Group will have a solid foothold in Hasmond. As for Palmer Group, we’ll take it back sooner or later, thought Sophia.
The thought sent a flicker of greed and ambition through Sophie’s eyes.
