Rosalie suddenly didn’t know what to say. Her mother–inw’s.


    attitude change was too drastic. So, why had she been so nice to Cynthia? Was it just to hit her


    hard at this moment, or had she been speaking sarcastically? Rosalie couldn’t understand.


    Unable to hold back any longer, Cynthia hurriedly said, “Aunt, I also looked at the divorce papers.


    Theo really did give her a lot, especially since they’ve only been married for a year. Not many men


    are as generous as him. And anyway, Rosalie doesn’t seem to have done anything for the Spencer


    family, so…”


    “What do you consider as contributing to the family, Ms. Zeller?” Sydney frowned, seeming


    somewhat displeased. “Do you think. dividing property in a marriage depends on contributions? Do


    you think marriage is a job where the more you do, the more you get paid? Are you likening Rose to


    a nanny?”


    Though momentarily stunned, Cynthia quickly recovered and said, ” Aunt, that’s not what I meant.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Sydney smiled. “I know you definitely didn’t mean that. After all, youe from a wealthy family,


    Ms. Zeller. You certainly wouldn’t care if your future husband gives half of his assets to his ex–wife,


    right? You want to marry my son not for money, but for love. You would still marry him even if he


    had nothing, right?”


    Cynthia was speechless, caught off guard by Sydney’s question.


    Seeing Cynthia’s stunned expression, Sydney continued, “What’s wrong, Ms. Zeller? Are you more


    interested in my son’s money than


    him?”


    “No, of course not!” Cynthia hastily protested. “Aunt, of course, I love him. Even if he had nothing,


    my feelings wouldn’t change. It’s just that


    I don’t really understand how property division in a divorce works, especially since I’ve never been


    married.”


    “That’s understandable. You really don’t understand the situation between Rose and Theo. After all,


    they’ve kno… each other for ten years and practically grew up together. What’s half of his assets?


    Even if they get divorced, they’ll still be like siblings. I’m sure they’ll keep in touch often. If Rose


    encounters any difficulties, Theo will always help her.”


    Sydney’s words sounded calm, like everything she was saying was a matter of fact, but Cynthia’s


    expression was theplete opposite.


    “Aunt, once they get divorced, Rosalie will probably have her own life, right?”


    “She’ll have her own life, but she won’t cut off contact with Theo. Just like you and Theo, right?


    Although Theo married Rose, he still fooled around with you. So, if Theo marries you in the future,


    why can’t he continue to contact Rose?” Sydney said.


    Cynthia’s expression suddenly turned ugly, finally realizing that Sydney was mocking her. From


    start to end, the older woman had never intended to like her and had just been pretending.


    Rosalie also finally understood. Sydney had first lulled Cynthia into a false sense of security, then


    delivered a heavy blow. Indeed, her mother–inw was skilled. In contrast, Rosalie hadn’t been


    able to control her temper and had directly sshed water on Cynthia.


    “Aunt, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by Theo and I fooling around? We were


    originally a couple.”


    “A couple?” Sydney seemed to find it funny. “Then, is your name on the marriage certificate?”


    Cynthia clenched her fists. “But Theo and I fell in love first.”


    “Just because you fell in love first, does that give you the right to be a homewrecker?” asked


    Sydney, dropping the act and confronting that woman directly.


    “I’m not a homewrecker!” Cynthia was furious. “If anyone’s a


    homewrecker, it’s Rosalie. If it weren’t for her, I would have married Theo!”
