If she had only revealed information about the Bronks Group, perhaps Leonardo would have simply fred her. But she went too far by targeting Rosalind. That was something Leonardo couldn’t tolerate. Rosalind fell into silence, unsure of what to say. She understood that Leonardo’s actions were justified. Both Lucy and Kenneth were adults who should take responsibility for their awn actions. While Lucy might have her reasons, she shouldn’t have framed others for her own benefit. Kenneth was also pitiful, but as a college student, he should save used his own judgment and not agreed to buy an expensive bag for his girlfriend. And resorting to predatory lending just to buy a bag? Predatory lending was like a trap. Once you got involved with it. escaping it was challenging, often leading to financial ruin. It wasn’t as simple as it seemned. Rosalind couldn’t understand how a college student could make such a mistake. Instead of finding a solution after making an error, Kenneth even contemplated suicide to evade responsability. He showed na sense of accountability. He was both truly unfortunate and infuriating. Sensing Rosalind’s changed mood, Leonardo pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. “I can help them deal with the predatory lending, but they’ll have to handle the rest themselves” By dealing with the predatory lending, it would alleviate the pressure on Lucy’s family, but Leonardo didn’t want to interfere in other matters Leonardo wasn’t a saint, he simply didn’t want Rosalind to worry excessively about the Tonks family. She didn’t need to concern herself with those who had ill intentions toward her.. As long as Leonardo could put Rosalinel’s mind at ease, he didn’t mind going the extra mile.

slowly curled, clearly indicating surprise and joy in her heart. Given Leonardo’s temperament, it was unexpected that he would be willing to help deal with predatory lending

Rosalinds smile froze, unsure of how to respond. After a while, Rosalind finally spoke softly. “Leonardo, can have a look at the incoming and outgoing records of the Brooks Group from five years ago!” Rosalind had never given up on investigating the case of the poisoned clothing at Jansen Group five years ago. However, the Brooks Group had strict management controls. Even though Rosalind currently worked as a design consultant at the Brooks Group, the information she could access was limited, and finding useful information was even more challenging. Progress on the investigation had been slow for such a long time. During her time with Leonardo, their interactions hadn’t been perfect, but they had been satisfactory. Rosalind believed it would be better to ask openly rather than investigate covertly. It would also serve as an opportunity to gauge Leonardo’s arritude If Leonardo strongly opposed her request, it would undoubtedly be related to the Brooks Group and Leonardo. In that case, she would make those who harmand her father pay, even if it meant sacrificing everything. Rosalind also wanted to know why Leonardo harbored such hatred toward her. If he despised her and the Jansen Group, then why did he purchase the Jansen villa and put it under her name? Why did Leonardo often feign deep affection? And why did Leonardo help Rosalind investigate the Iraked design drafts this timet
If Leonardo truly hated Rosalind, wouldn’t it make more seme for him to increase the price and sell the Jansen villa to her at a high cost? If Leonardo despised Rosalind so much, shouldn’t he love waited for the situation to worsen this time, this destroying her career? It would have been easier for him to revel in her misery. 12.58 Chapter 98 Rosalind simply couldn’t comprehend who Leonardo truly was and whether the events from five years ago had any Connection to him. Whale Rosalind acknowledged her impulsive nature, she still wanted to take a risk. The atmosphere suddenly became heavy as if time stood still. Rosalind’s hand clenched slowly on the table, revealing her Leonardo paused, placed his oatmeal down, and casually wiped the water stains from his mouth with a piece of paper. Everything seemed to proceed smoothly, without any signs of tension or panic. He appeared calm and composed. In contrast, Rosalind wore a solenin expression, her gaze fixed on Leonardo. Even her breath slowed down as if time were awaiting the pivotal moment-the revelation of the ultimate answer. “Okay.” This nonchalant word struck Realind’s heart like a heavy stone, suppressing the rising tension. Rosalind ugly closed her eyes, released a long exhale, and slowly opened her misty eyes. Although Rosalind understood that Leonardo’s willingness to cooperate didn’t necessarily mean he had no involvement in the events from five years ago, she still felt an immense sense of relief at that moririt. And she herself didn’t know why “So, you’ve always suspected that the events happening in the Jansen family five years ago were connected to inc Leonardo’s expression darkened, his tone filled with questioning and disbelief Observing Rosalind’s demeanor, Leonardo realized she had harbored suspicions about him all along,
which deeply wounded leonardo. Was that how Rosalind saw Leonardo! Would he stoop so low as to schente against her family out of spite! Rosalind didn’t respond but calmly stared directly at Leonardo, a faint smile ragging at the corners of her lips. “Do you believe that I didn’t deliberately fallow you and intentionally create hype to associate myself with you?” she inquired “Do you believe that your father’s death had nothing to do with me? “Do you belive that I didn’t push Virginia back then?” Rosalind’s tone remained composed, but only she knew how long she had held these words in her heart. She only harbored suspicions about Leonardo yet he questioned and accused her. Why was it that she had to endure the accusations, insults, and grievances, while he could act as if they didn’t exist? Leonardo wanted Rosalind to believe that those things had un connection to him, but why didn’t he believe her? When neither of them trusted each other, why bother with this charade! “I don’t dwell on those past events. Why do we always have to linger on unhappy things” Leonardo asked. Because it concerned Rosalind, whether Leonardo believed her or not didn’t matter. He didn’t care about those past events. But Rosalind didn’t see it that way “You don’t mind, but I do. You don’t want to remember because you still believe I committed those acts, that you don’t trust me. But I didn’t do thačin, so I will uncover the truth!” It wasn’t for Lenardo to believe her, but rather to avoid hearing those unjust accusations. Leonardo was taken aback by Rosalind’s sudden outburst, and the words remained on the tip of his tongue, unspoken.
Did Leonardo trust Rosalind? Trouardo wanted to believe Rosalind, but how could be explain so much evidence and coincidence?Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
