Chapter 90
Though Cynthia’s suicide attempt was a commonplace tactic, it was effective. It had really got to Theodore. She as quite something,
huh? She could be so ruthless to herself!
Theodore tightly gripped Rosalie’s wrist, trying to drag her into the hospital room, but she stood her ground.
“Why are you standing here? Get in!” Theodore demanded.
“Theodore, even if you kill me, I won’t apologize to her. You can forget
about it!”
“Kill you?” Theodore was exasperated. “You know I won’t do that. Are you trying to resist me to the end?”
That’s right. I want to see how far you’ll go for Cynthia!”
Hearing Theodore’s voice, Cynthia called out, “Theo, is that you? Are you outside?*
Theodore’s hard grip was almost enough to turn Rosalie’s arm red.
“Get in.”
“I won’t go. Even if you drag me in and break my teeth, I won’t apologize to her. Watch me make her explode from anger.”
Rosalie was as stubborn as ever. Theodore’s eyes were blazing with anger, and it looked like he was practically about to spew fire.
“Rosalie, don’t force my hand. I have many ways to make you suffer!”
A cold yet authoritative woman’s voice rang out, “Oh really? I’d like to hear what methods you have to make your wife suffer.
The couple turned their heads and saw Sydney striding over in high

heels, her steps brisk and forceful. She reached Rosalie, pulled the younger woman behind her, and faced Theodore.
“You’re quite imposing, hmm, Mr. Spencer? You’re threatening your wife because of a mistress. How admirable!”
Theodore’s expression turned even uglier. “She’s not a mistress.”
“Then, who is? Are you saying Rose is the mistress?”
“Mom, please don’t cause trouble here.”
“Am I causing trouble?” Sydney seemed to find it amusing. “Am I causing trouble, or are you going insane? What would you have done.
to her if I hadn’t come? Go on! Tell me!”
“Enough, I don’t want to argue with you. This is a hospital. Don’t disturb Cindy’s rest!”
Sydney laughed. “You’re the one who brought Rose here, and now you’re worried about disturbing Cindy’s rest. You’re really ridiculous.”
Suddenly, Sydney opened the hospital room door and walked in..
“Mom!”
Theodore hurriedly followed, but it was too late.
Sydney approached Cynthia’s bedside and said, “You act so well, don’t you? Let’s have a showdown today. Theo, tell me, what did Cynthia tell you about what happened at lunch?”
“Mom, please leave.”
Theodore was trying his best to suppress his anger. If the person in front of him wasn’t his mother, he would have been less polite.
“I’m not here to fight. Don’t worry. I won’t lay a finger on your precious Cynthia. I just want to clarify things. In fact, let me guess.”
Sydney thought for a moment, then continued, “Did she tell you that it
was Rose who contacted me so that I would team up with her and bully Cynthia? Did she imply that today’s lunch was Rose’s plan to pick on her?
Theodore clenched his fists, his face darkening. “Mom, please stop.”
“Why? We need to clear things up. No matter what Cynthia told you, I’m telling you now that I was the one who arranged today’s lunch. Neither Cynthia nor Rose knew that the other was invited.”
