Bright and Sky's eyes met, the former relaxed and the latter serious.
Sophie hurriedly held Sky's arm upon seeing the situation. "Of course not. My husband loves me a lot."
"Then Mrs. Tanner doesn't have to envy my wife. Otherwise, I will think Mrs. Tanner wants something
else." The suggestiveness in Bright's words was just right. Anyone could make out the meaning, but no
one dared to think further about Bright.
"We are a loving couple that trusts and is loyal to each other. We naturally won't have any of the
thoughts that Mr. Bright just said," said Sky to help Sophie. "We are all people with morals. We don't do
things that cross the line."
What this meant was that even though Bright was attractive, he was not enough to attract his wife.
But not those who didn't have morals. As for who didn't have morals – it was Rose, "the other woman",
in Sky's eyes.
"Mr. Sky said it very well. Morals are important, otherwise, you are immoral." Rose's smile widened, not
caring about Sky's hateful attitude toward her.
"Haha... Why is this conversation so serious?" Chandler didn't like what he heard and felt
embarrassed. "Mr. Bright, let's relax a bit."
"Yeah, chat about something casual." Someone named Mr. Jax also pitched in to ease the mood. "Mr.
Bright and Mr. Sky are both young and successful in your relationship and career. Unlike my son who
has been hiding abroad all these years and never comes back. I'm very anxious considering he's
almost 30 and doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
"Nowadays, young people are getting married late, unlike back in the days when we would get married
as soon as we are of age."
"Mr. Chandler's youngest daughter is married to Mr. Sky. We are very jealous that you have such a
good son-in-law."
"Yes, Mr. Chandler's youngest daughter is married. I'm curious as to which upper-class family your
eldest daughter married into?"
"She..." Chandler glanced at Rose but couldn't continue his words.
Bright was present. Although the two of them did not interact, he did not dare to talk nonsense.
"Mr. Jax, my sister is not married yet," said Sophie. Rose had been abandoned by Bright, so it didn't
matter what she said. Besides, she spoke the truth.
"She's not married?" Mr. Jax looked at Rose and nodded in praise. "Mr. Chandler's eldest daughter is
very beautiful. I am afraid that there too many suitors that there is no more room in the Linder family's
villa, huh?"
"Hehe... Not at all, she's just an ordinary girl," said Chandler modestly.
Although Joy barely talked, she disliked Rose from the bottom of her heart like Chandler. What she did
five years ago ruined the Linder family's reputation. If it weren't for the Linder family and the Tanner
family's efforts to cover everything up and the poor memories people nowadays had, then everyone
would laugh at the Linder family.
"If Mr. Chandler doesn't mind, then how about setting up a meeting for my boy and Miss. Linder to have
a meal together?" Mr. Jax purposefully wanted an arranged marriage with the Linder family.
"Thank you, Mr. Jax." Chandler was stressed, mainly because Bright was still here, so he didn't dare to
make decisions for Rose.
"Mr. Jax, nowadays young people's marriage is not up to their parents. They want to have a love
marriage… Perhaps it would be better for you to ask her yourself to a meal for her and your son. The
only thing we can do as parents is not being nosy." Joy's dissatisfaction with Rose was obvious in her
words, but she hid it as much as possible.
"What does Miss. Linder think?" Mr. Jax turned to Rose and asked. "Since Miss Linder and my son are
both single, why don't you give it a try?"
Rose smiled slightly but did not answer, only listening politely.
"Miss. Linder doesn't want to?" said Mr. Jax.
"It's not that I don't want to. I can't say yes." Rose remembered that she was a married woman, so how
could she have a blind date with someone else?
"What does Miss. Linder mean? Are you looking down on my son? Perhaps Miss. Linder set the bar
too high." Mr. Jax was slightly displeased with the way Rose rejected his proposal so frankly.
Sophie continued the conversation. "Mr. Jax, you might not have heard, but Mr. Timothy loves my sister
and proposed to her, but she didn't accept it. Well, she is very beautiful…"
What Sophie wanted to imply was evident, and Mr. Jax also understood. "So Miss. Linder has high
expectations and doesn't just consider anyone."
"I think there is nothing wrong with high expectations," Rose admitted frankly. "You even have to pick
when you are shopping for cabbages at the grocery store. This is a matter of my happiness for the rest
of my life, so there's nothing wrong with being picky."
Mr. Jax's face was sullen, and he felt humiliated.
"Perhaps Miss. Linder views us as cheap cabbages?" Timothy sneered.
"Doesn't Mr. Timothy know how bad your reputation is? I think comparing Mr. Timothy to a cabbage is
an insult to the cabbage. I think a crooked melon is a more suitable comparison for Mr. Timothy." Rose
looked at Timothy expressionlessly. Her eyes were cold, and her words were mean.
Rose, who now had a powerful presence, was completely different from the weak and sad Rose in the
small garden just now.
Rose's words successfully angered Timothy. He had a ghastly expression on his face, and his eyes
were filled with anger. He snorted coldly, "Rose, I have a bad reputation? Then what kind of person are
you?"
"Never mind you being divorced with a child. You want to associate yourself with someone of a higher
social position. At least I don't have a child and I'm not so immoral as to be the other woman! Aside
from you being beautiful, what fucking strengths do you have? You deserve to be abandoned!"
Timothy was a man whose head was filled with lust for women. He became big-mouthed easily
because he would get angry whenever he ran into a problem.
As soon as he spoke, everyone was in an uproar. No one expected Rose, who looked pure and
innocent, to be the other woman.
William and Matthew didn't believe that Rose was such a person, but others didn't think so. Some
"righteous" people started criticizing and attacking Rose verbally, and she became the enemy of the
public.
In particular, Mr. Jax, who had just been angered by Rose, ridiculed, "Miss. Linder sure has a unique
taste. You would rather be the other woman than be a wife. Now I know what shamelessness looks
like!"
"I wonder who is so unlucky to be cheated on because of her!"
However, Bright stood and watched from the side without saying a single word. This further convinced
Timothy and Sophie that Bright and Rose had broken up.
"Who did I have an affair with? Do you have any evidence?" Rose was still so calm, not anxious or
angry.
"Why would I talk nonsense about something that I don't have evidence on? I'll let you know." Timothy
snickered triumphantly.
