Chapter 93

“He hung up on me,” her voice dropped with disappointment.

Sophie faltered, then quickly offered a smooth explanation. “It’s a weekday. He’s busy. Maybe he’s in a meeting, right?”

She glanced at her daughter and continued in a reassuring tone. “Look, sweetie, let’s just have the driver pick us up for now. You can reach out to Julian maybe after work.”

“And this time, don’t be stubborn like you were three years ago. Apologize to him properly and make it up to him, you know?”

With the lookalike wife and sudden divorce situation in mind, Roseanne felt more confident than ever. So, when her mother comforted her, she easily bought into it.

Roseanne huffed. “I’m not apologizing to him. We’ve lost contact for three years. Now I’m the one reaching out, and he doesn’t even answer my call.”

“Next time I see him, I’m not speaking to him first,” she added.

Despite her words, the playful lift in her voice and the slight curve of her lips told a different story.

Sophie saw the teasing smile on her daughter’s face and knew she had successfully convinced her.

To be honest, if Sophie hadn’t already discovered Rosalie’s resemblance to her daughter, or if Matteo hadn’t assured them that Julian filed for divorce right after hearing Roseanne was returning, even she wouldn’t have been so sure about Julian’s feelings.

Good thing we still have time to fix things. Roseanne just needs to secure Julian’s heart once and for all. If she does, Ascend Group will have a solid foothold in Hasmond. As for Palmer Group, we’ll take it back sooner or later, thought Sophie.

The thought sent a flicker of greed and ambition through Sophie’s eyes.
