    "Cynthia, please understand. Whatever the reason he married me, we''re legally married. Even if we get divorced, in any country, if he remarries, it will be a second marriage. I will always be his first wife," said Rosalie calmly.


    Cynthia''s eyes turned red with anger at the mention of "second marriage." No matter how much she insulted Rosalie or said she didn''t deserve it, Rosalie seemed unaffected - she was such a shameless woman!


    "Rosalie, if you really take Theo''s money, how will he see you? Do you want to leave a gold- digger image in his mind?" said Cynthia, attacking her from a different angle.


    ''You''re really funny." Rosalie chuckled. "The money is something he wants to give me. I didn''t ask for it. If you don''t believe me, go ask him. You''re really good at jumping to conclusions.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "Bute to think of it... Ms. Zeller, you keep looking down on me and talking about how Ie from a humble background. I thought you were born into a wealthy family, but it seems that the amount of money in the divorce papers was enough to make you see red. Based on your reaction, one would think that you''ve never seen such wealth before."


    Cynthia''s anger bumed even stronger. Rosalie was now mocking her background - how truly vulgar! If only Theodore were here, this woman wouldn''t dare bully her like this.


    "Sorry to keep you waiting," said Sydney as she returned to her seat. What happened to your eyes, Ms. Zeller? Are you feeling unwell?


    "I''m fine, Aunt," Cynthia said politely. "Something got in my eyes earlier, that''s all. By the way. Aunt, you mentioned there was something unsuitable in the divorce papers?"


    "I think the properties mentioned in the divorce papers are excessive." Sydney looked at Rosalie. "Rose, do you really want all these properties that Theo is giving you?"


    Rosalle''s eyes shed with some confusion. Her first reaction was that Sydney also thought the money was too much. It seemed she was really siding with Cynthia now, and Rosalie didn''t understand why.


    "Mom, these divorce papers are invalid aren''t they? I never asked him for money. All the divorce terms were his decision. If you''re not happy with him giving me that much money, you can talk to him about it," Rosalie exined.


    If Sydney insisted on siding with Cynthia, there was nothing Rosalie could do about it, except to address the issue.


    "I''ll talk to him about his part, but what about you? What should I say about you?" said Sydney, frowning and clearly unhappy, as if reprimanding her daughter-inw.


    What do you want to say about me?"


    Rosalie didn''t understand why Sydney was suddenly targeting her.


    "I want to say you''re naive, Sydney said, displeased. "You didn''t even ask him for money. You left all the decisions to Theo, and he ended up giving you so little. You''ve been taken advantage of. Can''t I criticize you for that?"


    Rosalie fell silent. What was this all about? Sydney''s behavior could be likened to a car that was speeding down a highway suddenly making a 1BD-degree tum. It was dizzying and unexpected.


    A very surprised Cynthia looked at Sydney in disbelief. "Aunt, what are you saying?


    She could only force an awkward smile, clinging to thest bit of hope, thinking that maybe her future mother-inw had misspoke.


    "I''m saying the amount Theo gave Rose is too small. I finally understand why his father tore up the divorce papers. I would have torn it up too. Houses, cars, jewelry, cash- trying to dismiss someone with such a small amount of money?" said Sydney, seeming somewhat angry.


    "He should have given you half of his shares. Owning shares in SK Enterprise for the long term is real wealth. What''s a hundred or two hundred million? He''s being stingy," she continued.
