Rosalie forced a smile. “Nothing interesting, Grandma. You know that I don’t have a job right now,


    so…”


    “Oh yes. On the topic of a job, would you consider working at your mother–inw’s bank? You


    majored in finance and that matches the opening they have.”


    If Rosalie could work there, Reba would feel assured. Someone would be taking care of Rosalie


    and ensure she wouldn’t get

    harassed. Sydney was slightly aloof by nature, but she was not wicked.


    “I…” In fact, Rosalie didn’t want to work for anypany associated with the Spencers.


    She was happy to visit Reba and keep thetterpany frequently, but she would rather avoid


    the Spencers as much as


    possible in other aspects of her life.


    Rosalie’s hesitation made the smile on Reba’s face fade. “What’s the matter? You don’t want


    to?” a


    “Grandma, I’ll find my job on my own, so please don’t worry about it. Or do you find me so incapable


    that I can’t even find a job for myself, and have to rely on you all for help?”


    Rosalie pouted to express her displeasure. Her feigned displeasure, that is.


    Reba hurriedly exined, “I didn’t mean that. I know that you’re a smart girl. I just want to help


    you so that you’ll suffer less.”


    “Grandma, I’m not suffering. In fact, I’m very blessed. Thank you for your guidance and care over


    the years. Things are great right now,


    really.”


    Rosalie was speaking from the bottom of her heart.


    She couldn’t ignore how well Grandma had treated her over the past decade just because of her


    rtionship struggles with Theo. She was at least capable of separating these two issues.


    Reba suddenly sighed. “You’re such a kind–hearted girl. Strictly speaking, the ident your


    parents were in was due to a problem with SK Enterprise’s chemical nt. And yet, you’ve never


    med us‘ for it.”


    “Grandma, as you’ve said, it was an ident,” Rosalie said. “No one wanted it to happen. It was


    fated to happen, and I believe my parents have gone to heaven where there is no pain or sorrow.”


    “Yes,” Rebamented. “Your parents were good people. If it weren’t for them back then, I’m sure


    more people would have been hurt. You’re a good kid, too. That aunt of yours was too wicked to


    burn through your parents‘pensation money and even abandon you. Who would have thought


    that she was that kind of person?!”


    Rosalie was but ten years old at that time, and she was too young to receive thepensation


    money. Legally speaking, thepensation money had to be given to her guardian, who would


    manage it.


    Many rtives fought to be Rosalie’s guardian for the money. Eventually, her aunt ended up


    assuming the tole as her closest kin.


    Reba sighed, filled with remorse.


    “It’s all my fault for not checking through things thoroughly and being so anxious topensate


    you! Had I known that she was that kind of person, I would have adopted you no matter how


    troublesome it was. That way, you wouldn’t have needed to live with your aunt and watch her


    squander your parents‘pensation money. I’m sure she


    mistreated you. You must have suffered under her care.”


    Rosalie forced a smile. “It was all right.”


    She did suffer during the year she lived with her aunt. Her aunt had a bad gambling habit and a


    terrible temper, and would often re up at her. She was forced to do all the chores at home, and


    was treated like a maid, made to cook, clean, wash the clothes, and bear the brunt of her aunt’s


    fury.


    Sometimes, when her aunt had a drop too much, Rosalie would run to‘ her room and lock the door


    out of fear. Her aunt would then hammer at her door,pletely wasted.
