On her way ho after eting Dylan, Rosemary suddenly received a call. Recognizing the familiar number on the screen, she hit the button on her steering wheel to hang up But Attlee was persistent, calling again and again.
"What do you want?" Finally, Rosemary picked up, her tone laced with irritation,
"Rose. I’ll cut to the chase. I saw you having dinner with the head honcho of Allbara Investnt Group tonight. Are you two acquainted?"
"What’s it to you?" Rosemary was surprised that he called to ask such a trivial question and was about to hang up."
"Rose, straight up, is Dylan into you? Is he wooing you?" Rosemary was speechless.
"Don’t tell you’re the one who told him not to collaborate with our company. If you want to marry into a rich family, you’ve got to have so dough too, right?" Rosemary’s icy eyes flashed with coldness,
"What are you implying?"
"Your biological parents are in the countryside, they could never afford this lifestyle. It’s embarrassing!
But I could have your back; imagine how it sounds: the richest man in Tranquil City is your father. Eve got all the gifts sorted. That way you could marry into the wealthy family without a hitch!"
Rosemary said coldly, "What do you want?"
"As long as you get in touch with Dylan, arrange a eting, and facilitate our collaboration again.."
"No can do."
Just as Rosemary was about to hang up, she heard him pleading. "Rose, I raised you for eighteen years!
Are you really going to leave high and dry? The company is in crisis "
"What’s that got to do with ?" Rosemary said coldly, "I don’t know where you get off telling this. My grandma raised , not you. Have you ever contributed a di to in these years? Have you ever visited ?"
"Every year during the holidays, she was sent to learn various things from a bunch of old guys. Her so–called parents never noticed how she spent her holidays! It’s easy to guess how often they ca ho!
was busy making money; I had no choice."
Rosemary ended the call, she couldn’t be bothered wasting her ti with him.
"What did Rosemary say?" Waiting nearby, Olga saw Attlee’s depressed look after he hung up and imdiately understood what happened "She refused?"
"I told you! Be nicer to her! But you didn’t listen, and now she doesn’t want to help us! Attlee sighed, unsure what to do next.
Olga was fuming: "It’s not like we only have her to rely on! And she definitely won’t help us, what about Yoli? The VIP ward must have been arranged by the Panter family. Let’s invite the Panter family out for dinner tomorrow night and explain our situation to them. Besides Allbara Investnt, there are two other groups that refuse to work with us, right? Those two groups are close with the Panter family, so let’s ask the Panter family to be our go–between."
"That’s the only way."
Thinking about the Panter family’s help, Attlee felt a little better. "Soone, call Yoli," He had sothing to say
Just then, Yolanda ca running down the stairs, excitedly saying, "Dad, Mom, I won second place in the national piano competition!"
"What?" Attlee and Olga didn’t expect their daughter to be so talented Wasn’t she raised by a cleaning lady since she was little? How could she play the piano? And win awards?
Yolanda quickly brought her phone to them and said, "Look, these are the results! Serena won first place, and I won second""
"You’re only second to a billionaire’s daughter" Olga was so proud of her that she couldn’t help but say,
"This is a golden opportunity"
Attlee also realized, "Yoli, with the award, do you think you could invite Zachary and his family out for dinner?"
"Invite Zachary’s parents too." Yolanda was a bit surprised.
When Attlee disclosed the company’s predicant to her, she imdiately assured him, "Mom, Dad,I’ll help the company out!"
"What a good kid!"
After Rosemary got ho, she found a crowd in the living room, all showering Serena with praises.
"Serena, you’re amazing! You won first place in the piano competition!"
"It’s such a blessing to work in this household, getting to listen to such refined piano playing every day."
"Serena’s piano playing is truly enchanting!"
Louisa was the first to notice Rosemary’s return. "Honey, you’re ho from work? Was your first day exhausting? Did anyone at the company give you a tough ti?" "Ms. Collins is ho?"
"Folks at the company were saying that the person who took charge today was really impressive. They don’t even know they’re talking about my precious daughter, haha."
Noticing all the attention on Rosemary, Serena, feeling a bit jealous, walked over
"Sis, you’re back"?" She put on a gracious smile and said, "How about we all go out for a al tomorrow? On one hand, to celebrate your taking over the company, and on the other, to welco you back ho! What do you think?"
She purposely didn’t ntion her first place win, feigning concern for Rosemary.
"We haven’t really taken you around since you got back, and you’ve been working hard. Let’s go out for a al,"
Serena, seizing the opportunity, took Louisa and Kenneth’s arms and cooed, "Dad, Mom, what do you think?"
"I think it’s a good idea." Louisa looked at Kenneth, who also nodded, and said, "Rose, what do you think?"
"Whatever is fine" Rosemary didn’t want to upset her parents. Seeing them cheerfully making reservations, she absentmindedly went upstairs, freshened up, and went to bed!
The next day, Roo dropped her off at work. On the way, he sounded a bit upset upon hearing about the family dinner "Didn’t you promise to spend your free ti with ?"
Rosemary hesitated. "I forgot."
She genuinely hadn’t thought of him when she agreed.
"You’re not taking to the family dinner?"
"Next ti"
"Then you owe double" Roo held her hand tighter and said, "If you’re not having dinner with , then let’s have lunch together."
"Alright"
After a day’s work, Rosemary arrived at The Happy Chef with Roo, saying. "Okay, no need to pick up later, I’ll go ho with my parents"
"Call when you get ho."
"Sure."
anwhile.
It took Attlee a lot of effort to
richest person in Tranquil City!
A room at The Happy Chef. Even though it was the lowest tier, it wasn’t sothing just anyone could book,
Mrs. Panter didn’t think much of Yolanda, who was raised by a cleaner and had an aura of poverty about her, even when dressed in designer clothes. The occasional glimpse of self–doubt and sensitivity in her eyes couldn’t be concealed
However, upon hearing that Yolanda won second place in a piano competition, Mrs. Panter’s attitude improved slightly. But when she heard Attlee’s request, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and said,
"Mr. Harris, I’m afraid we can’t help with this."
"What?" Attlee thought he’d heard wrong.
