Chapter 20 Her Intentions
Claire’s smile froze. Raymond was stunned before fury overtook him..

Meanwhile, Roseanne stood there, her expression calm as a soft breeze under a clear sky. She even smiled as she asked, “You can’t do it, can you? Then let’s not waste time.”
She turned to close the door, but Claire grabbed her wrist. “Rosie! We’ve raised Aury for twenty–two years. We have feelings
for her-”
“Then don’t acknowledge me.” Roseanne cut her off. “Mdm. Claire, you can’t have it all. You only had one daughter to begin with. You have a bond with Aurora and can’t bear to part with her–I understand”
She continued. “But I’m willing to let go. There’s nothing between us. Just pretend you never made a mistake and never found me. Don’t recognize me.”
Claire shook her head, her face streaked with tears. “No, that’s impossible, Rosie.”
She had raised Aurora for over twenty years, pouring all her love into her. That was the daughter she had nurtured with her own hands! How could she bear to let her go?
And yet, Rosie was the daughter she had carried for nine months and given birth to. She had already lost her once. She couldn’t afford to lose her again.
Despair gripped Claire.
“Mom!” Raymond’s eyes burned with anger. “Can’t you see? Roseanne just wants to drive Aurora away! Let’s go! Stop begging her!”
He reached our to pull Claire away, but she stubbornly held on to Roseanne. “No.”
“Mom, let’s go!”
Amidst the struggle, a crisp slap rang through the air.
All three of them froze.
Claire stopped crying. Raymond stared at his own hand in shock.
What just happened? Did I just hit her?
His palm tingled with numbness. Instinctively, he glanced at Roseanne. She stood still, her head tilted slightly to the left, a faint red mark appearing on her cheek.

Bang!
Before he could say another word, he was struck hard. The force of it sent him stumbling to the side, nearly knocking him off his feet. Roseanne had slapped him back. Her expression remained indifferent as she met his gaze. “Now we’re even.”
“Then, without another word, she turned around and slammed the door shut.
Raymond felt his head buzz. He reached up and touched his face.”
The pain made him suck in a sharp breath, his chest heaving with rage. “Roseanne, d’mn you!”
He kicked the door forcefully and shouted, “I didn’t hit you on purpose! It was an accident! An accident! What gives you the right to hit me back? And so hard!”
Just as he was about to kick the door again, Claire grabbed his arm.
The woman who had been crying as if the world had ended had suddenly calmed down. Wiping away her tears, she warned, “If you kick Rosie’s door again, I’ll tell your father.”

Chapter 20 Her Intentions
“Yvie, Eula hurt the Sylvester family’s daughter and got arrested for assault”
“What?” Yvonne’s expression darkened. “Which daughter? Aurora or Roseanne?”
Upon hearing Roseanne’s name, Brandon looked up.
After listening to the full account, Yvonne’s expression darkened. “Eula is too naive. This has to be a setup by those two sisters. to trap her, I never thought the Sylvester family would sink this low. Yvie, what do we do now! If the Sylvester family refuses to settle this privately, Eula and her boyfriend will end up in jail”
“Don’t worry. Since this started because of us, I’ll take care of it” After hanging up. Yvonne relayed the situation to Brandon, her tone cold with disdain. “I never imagined the Sylvester family would go this far. They actually plotted against my cousin just to get at me.”
Brandon, however, didn’t seem as outraged as Yvonne. Instead, he asked, “Your aunt mentioned that Eula’s boyfriend harassed Aurora. Is that true?”
“That’s ridiculous. Eula is the daughter of the Calanis family. Aurora is just a fraud, a nobody with peasant blood. Who would
after her when they could have Eula?”
Brandon looked as if he wanted to say something, but after seeing the icy look in Yvonne’s eyes, he changed the subject. “Til visit the Sylvester family tomorrow to meet my Mr. Burton. I’ll try to get a clear picture of what happened. Ideally, we can resolve this privately.”
–
Yvonne’s voice was frigid. “They’re doing this just to target us. There’s no way they’ll agree to resolve this privately. Leave it to me–I refuse to believe the Sylvester family can control everything on their own.”
