Chapter 220

Edward looked at Rosalie seriously and continued, “Even if I give the green light for you to use company funds, the other shareholders of Talley Group won’t sign off on it. What are you going to…”

“Dad, what are you talking about? Don’t paint me as some kind of thief,” Rosalie cut in quickly.

The Graham family was too stunned to utter a word, as they doubted whether she was scolding them.

Edward was struck by Rosalie’s words so hard that his face became stern. However, he still maintained the feigned mildness on his face.

He said, “I didn’t mean that. I’m just worried about your career. I know you’re fresh out of a divorce and eager to succeed, but there’s no need to rush, especially not by investing so much money upfront…”

“Dad,” said Rosalie.

Suddenly, Rosalie frowned and slammed the biscuit in her hand onto the table. She fixed Edward with a stern gaze. Her sudden mood swings made Edward’s heart skip a beat.

“Even you start to bring up the fact I got dumped by my husband?” she said.

Her voice broke. “I knew your whole family was thrilled about my divorce. I was wrong about all of you.”

The Graham family was too stunned to utter a word.

Suddenly, Edward felt utterly drained by the conversation with Rosalie. She always managed to divert his carefully constructed arguments so effortlessly.
