Chapter 72: She’s Just a Joke
Rosaria Gavyn had been anxious the past few days and was afraid that the thugs wouldn’t be able to stand the interrogation and would expose her. It was better to take the initiative.
Ever since she moved out of Rex’s house, she had returned to Gavyn’s Villa. Cassie Gavyn had always treated her as her own daughter, which pleased Rosaria Gavyn. When she was adopted by Cassie Gavyn, she had been told early that she would marry Rex in the future. What was more, she had always thought that she was a hundred times better than Wendy. Why did Rex want to marry a woman like Wendy?
Rex had doted on Rosaria since she was a child. Rosaria had pinned all her hopes on him. It was impossible for her to let go of someone she had secretly loved for so many years!
As soon as Cassie walked into Rosaria’s room from the door, she saw Rosaria holding a pair of scissors and was about to insert it into her body. She immediately walked over and stopped Rosaria. “Rosaria, what are you doing?”
Rosaria’s eyes were red and swollen. It looked like she’d been crying for a long time and her voice was hoarse. “Mom, I’m a cripple and brother has a wife. What am I still doing here? Just let me die! Don’t stop me!”
Cassie’s face fell, and she immediately took the scissors from Rosaria. If it weren’t for the fact that Wendy Walters was too difficult to deal with, she would never have used Rosaria again. Back then, she had used Rosaria as a child bride just to keep Rex in check. Who knew that she would have had a car accident, and with Wendy’s appearance, she had no choice?
At least for now, Rosaria Gavyn was still very useful.
“Rosaria, you……”
Before Cassie could finish, Rosaria began to cry. “Brother doesn’t love me at all! Mom, I can’t beat Wendy at all. She already has a child!”
The scissors slipped from Cassie’s hands and fell to the ground. She stared at him and asked, “What did you say? You have a baby?”
Rosaria covered her face and began to cry, her voice broken. “Brother…… He…… He doesn’t want me anymore……”
Cassie immediately clenched her fists and held Rosaria in her arms. “Rosaria, don’t cry. As long as I’m here, no one will dare to bully you. As for that Wendy, I have my own way to deal with her and the child in her belly. If it’s the Gavyn Family’s blood, then it can only be raised by the Gavyn Family.”
Rosaria assented and the tears on her face fell but a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Wendy, you’re still too inexperienced.
Cassie asked Wendy to see her alone and deliberately arrived nearly an hour late. By the time she arrived, Wendy was already a little tired.
“Wendy Walters.” Cassie hit the girl’s back with enough force to wake her up with a stinging pain.
When she saw Cassie, she immediately stood up. “Mom.”
Cassie didn’t even look at her. She sat down without a hint of a smile on her face.
Wendy didn’t know whether she should stand or sit. She didn’t know what to do and didn’t notice the displeasure in Cassie’s eyes at all.
“What are you standing there for? If Rex finds out, he’ll think that I abused his wife and child.”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing this, Wendy immediately sat down with a smile on her face. “Mom, you know about it?”
“What’s wrong? Are you trying to hide it from me?” Cassie pretended to be a strong woman, which scared Wendy so much that she quickly waved her hand. “No, no, it’s just that it’s not even three months yet. Rex and I are also afraid…… So we want to announce it after a period of time.”
Cassie said, “I won’t beat around the bush. I’m here today to talk about children with you.”
Wendy had a bad premonition, and it was a very strong one at that.
“What’s wrong?”
“Give birth to the child and then hand it over to Rosaria to raise. I can pay for your mother’s illness and help her heal abroad.”
“She’s bringing up her mother again. The Gavyn Family is really talking business.”
Wendy froze. No matter how much she was afraid of Cassie, she wanted to take her child away. She had no reason to back down.
“Mom, I can accept the rest, but I won’t give my child to anyone,” Wendy said.
Cassie said with sarcasm in her eyes, “Do you think you can raise a child well? To tell you the truth, even if you give birth to a child, I will never admit that you are my daughter-in-law. There is only one candidate for my daughter-in-law, and that is Rosaria.”
Wendy felt as if she had been struck by lightning as her head buzzed. “Rosaria? Isn’t she…… isn’t she…… Rex’s younger sister?”
“Yes, she is, but Rosaria and Rex are not related by blood. What’s wrong? Didn’t Rex tell you? The Gavyn Family has already decided that she is Rex’s woman.”
Wendy came out of the cafe, and when she returned home, she was in a daze.
If Rex and Rosaria were not related by blood, then were the things he had said in the past all lies to fool her?
Hearing a voice, Rex walked out of the study. Seeing that it was Wendy, he hurried over and asked, “Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?”
Wendy bit her lip and raised her head to look at Rex. She suddenly found him a little strange, “Rex, are you hiding anything from me?”
Rex was confused. “What is it?”
Wendy lowered her head and shook her head. “Forget it, I want to rest.”
Rex noticed that something was wrong with her, so he immediately grabbed her wrist and asked, “You’re acting weird. What’s wrong?”
Wendy immediately shook off his hand and roared, “I told you that I’m fine!”
“Wendy, why are you throwing a tantrum!?” Rex said with a cold expression.
“Heh……” Wendy sneered. “That’s right, what can you do when I throw a tantrum? You don’t like me anymore, do you? Are you tired of me? I am tired of being a victim.”
Rex’s eyes were aching and his temples were throbbing from Wendy’s sneer. “Wendy, I’ll give you one more chance. Are you going to tell me?!”
“I’m fine. I’m going back to my room.” Wendy did not want to say anything more to the man in front of her. Since he was already of one mind with the others, why did he still provoke her?
At the end of the day, she was just a joke.
Rex did not want to give up. He grabbed her again and used all his strength to straighten her body. His other hand was holding her chin. His eyes were so cold that they could chill people’s hearts. “Is this what you mean by ‘nothing’? Why are you crying if there’s nothing wrong?”
Wendy’s tears flowed down her cheeks like a broken string of pearls. Her heart trembled with her breathing.
