"If you''re a man, tell me the truth. Rose married Sebastian not long after divorcing Theo. It all happened so fast, it''s not normal. What''s more, you''re Sebastian''s father and that makes things even less normal."


    Sydney came here because Theodore came looking for her yesterday, and told her some things.


    Sebastian had wanted Sydney to talk to Rosalie, but instead of contacting Rosalie, Sydney went to meet Geoffrey instead. She felt that Rosalie wasn''t the root of the entire incident.


    Geoffrey nodded. "Yes, you''re still as intelligent as you were in the past. You''re able to pinpoint the essence of the issue. I found it strange why you''d marry Wesley Spencer. Oh, I know. Did you have your heart broken and lose hope in life?"


    Sydney''s eyes narrowed, and she said coldly, "The greatest regret of my life isn''t marrying Wesley, but that I was with a money-minded, cold and heartless bastard thirty years ago. I still feel sick thinking about it now. Well, I was young and insensible, and even a little blind when I was young. I''d even like to thank him for enriching my life experience."


    Geoffrey clenched his fists under the table. He saw the look of contempt on Sydney''s face, and scoffed. "Does Wesley know about this enriching life experience of yours? If he does..."This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "So what?" Sydney cut him off. "Do you think I care? Go ahead and tell him! Tell him that I was with you before I married him."


    Geoffrey looked at her silently.


    Sydney grabbed the ss on the table and took a huge gulp before mming it back on the table.


    "Geoffrey Carter, if you think you can threaten me with this, you underestimate me. I don''t care about this at all."


    "But you''re here looking for me," Geoffrey smirked. "For the sake of your ex-daughter-inw."


    "You find me an easy target, is that it? Don''t forget that I have mywork. Skycrest Enterprise has a huge project that requires a loan, doesn''t it? If any problems crop up in between, I wonder how long the approval process will take


    Geoffrey smiled, and said calmly, "Seems like it''s your turn to threaten me now. I must say, I like it when you threaten me."


    "Can we talk normally now? What exactly is going on between Rose and Sebastian''s marriage?" Sydney was getting annoyed.


    "Rose is a very kind girl, and married my son whom I was forcing to marry another woman. That way, my son wouldn''t need to marry a toxic gold- digger he doesn''t love."


    Sydney''s brows furrowed. "Why must it be Rose? She''s not a rich heiress. I don''t think she fulfills your criteria of an ideal daughter-inw."


    “She benefits me in a myriad of ways. If she didn''t marry my son, how would the two of us be able to sit down and talk so patiently with each other?"


    Sydney took a deep breath, and leaned back against the chair. She wrapped her arms around her chest, and looked coldly at Geoffrey. "Are you telling me you did it for me?"


    "That''s right," Geoffrey said with a


    chuckle. "When I saw how much you cared for her, it was a foregone


    conclusion for me to make her must


    daughter-inw. It would be even better if her baby took my family name in the future. That would give úreasons to see each other even more next time."


    Sydney grabbed the ss on the table, and sshed the water on Geoffrey''s face.


    Geoffrey shut his eyes, his face


    his


    completely wet as beads of water dripped down his face. A smile


    of


    stretched across his face, the napkin


    getting mad, he picked up the napkin


    on the table and leisurely wiped his face with it.
