Chapter 423
Hearing the last two words, Rosalie immediately understood what Yvonne meant. She couldn’t even bear to imagine the scene, and shuddered. “We have to save Seb. Is your father insane? Even if he wants a marriage of convenience for your brother, he should find someone normal!”
“My dad doesn’t care about that. He’ll take whoever benefits him, regardless of their character. Not only is the Jones family wealthy, but they also have powerful backers. My father values power,” Yvonne said.
Rosalie huffed angrily. “In his eyes, power is more important than his own son!”
Seeing Rosalie a bit out of breath, Yvonne put her arm around her shoulder. “Let me take you outside to get some fresh air.”
She then led Rosalie out of the club. The air outside was much better, and Rosalie took deep breaths. She had felt so suffocated inside.
“I’m sorry, Rose. I shouldn’t have brought you here today. It must have scared you,” Yvonne said.
“It’s okay. Thank you for bringing me here. If you didn’t, I could have only watched as Seb got married.”
“But how can we stop it? My brother certainly doesn’t want to marry her, but…” Yvonne said, confused. She sighed. “You know my father. He doesn’t care about any of that.”
Rosalie thought about what Geoffrey had said to her before-that he approved of her as Sebastian’s partner.
“Rose? What’s wrong?” Seeing Rosalie lost in thought, Yvonne was a bit worried, and held her arm. “Don’t worry. No matter what, as long as my brother’s status and position are secure, he won’t be kicked out of the family. In life, you can’t have both career and happiness. You have to give up one.”
“Why must you give up one?” Rosalie turned around. “You can have both, but you’re forced to give up one, as if it’s something you must experience in life. It’s so unfair!”
“There’s nothing we can do. Life is unfair,” Yvonne said. “Sometimes, we have to face reality.”
“If we know it’s unfair, we should try to change it. If everyone tolerates unfairness, what will the world become?”

“But what can we do?” Yvonne said, looking dejected. “Right now…”
Yvonne continued to talk about potential issues, but Rosalie didn’t hear her clearly because she was focused on a bold idea. She took out her phone, and dialed Sebastian’s number. Content belongs toOriginal content from NôvelDrama.Org.

But no one answered for a long time, and the call was hung up automatically in the end.
Rosalie dialed again, but the same thing happened. The call connected but no one answered, and later, it hung up automatically.

Yvonne saw her brother’s name on her phone screen. “Rose, are you calling Seb?”
Rosalie nodded. “Yes. I need to talk to him, but he’s not answering.”
“Let me try.” Yvonne took out her phone and called Sebastian.
The same thing happened; it connected, but he didn’t answer.
“He’s not answering your call, either. Could something have happened to him?” Rosalie was getting more and more anxious.
“Wait, I have an idea.” With that, Yvonne quickly typed a text message to Sebastian.
[Seb, where are you? Something happened to Rose! Hurry and text me back!]
