Theresa would of course be glad if Cristina was to protest for her when it was not in such a case. Yet here,
Cristina was the last one who could stand out, as that might expose the secret they’d tried so hard to hide. Theresa

be as brave and rash as she liked since Rose could back her up, especially when Rose was pregnant now.
Yet Rose started to stop her from going on.
Rosales protested, “Rose, I actually don’t like gossiping at all. But I just can’t help warning your uncle of the

Mrs. Calsis looked quite embarrassed at the moment.
Rosales was proud to notice that, and quickly added, “Madam, I’ll have to advice you to think twice, since
everyone knows what a degenerate woman she is. I just find it so unfair for Charlie to marry such a woman when
he is so excellent a man.”
“Really?” came Charlie’s voice, which seemed to come from some distance away yet was still overwhelming
enough to stop Rosales’ “advice”.
Looking at her husband, Theresa just wondered what had stopped him from appearing earlier.
Under the help of Jonathan, Charlie came to the table on the wheelchair and got seated. He then cast a sharp look

“No, you can’t.” Charlie snapped curtly. “I just feel ashamed of dining with someone like you.” Rosales was finally

ridiculous! Your Calsis family should have allowed some younger generation to give commands.
What makes you think you have the right to drive me out when your parents haven’t said anything? Think of it,
you are only the third son in this home, and the father of my Rose is your elder brother, who is the very one to
have the final say!” She just grew even more confident even facing Charlie, as she believed no one would hurt
her when Rose was with a baby now.
With a faint smile on her face, Theresa even began to wonder whether she should praise the unreasonable
woman for her bravery or sympathize with her for her stupidity.
Jimmy, who was entering the dinning room at that instant, hastened to stop his mother from making a fool of

unreasonable words that made him so awkward.
