After wiping his face, Geoffrey placed the napkin back on the table.
That’s the way. The anger on your face brings me back to those times, when you’d throw a tantrum. How nostalgic. It’s been a while since anyone dared to throw a temper tantrum at me.
You’re a filthy, mad dog. Does your wife know about this? Sydney sneered.
I’m going through divorce procedures with her, and we’re facing issues with division of my property. The process is taking some time, but I’ll divorce her eventually.
Geoffrey Cater, make your son divorce Rose, Sydney said emphatically.
No problem, Geoffrey promised without any hesitation.
Sydney was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to agree so readily. However, she knew he wasn’t such an easygoing man.
What’s your condition? Sydney asked.
It’s simple. Divorce Wesley Spencer, and be with me after I divorce Xyla. And, I’ll tell you a secret… Geoffrey said.
Sydney burst out laughing. Hahaha! Even if I divorced Wesley, I’d never marry you! Geoffrey Carter, I’ve seen many despicable, wicked and cunning people in my life, but you disgust me the most of all. Is your son as cunning and wicked as you are? Did you two scheme against Rose? The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, after all!
Geoffrey’s face stiffened. Syd, you can scold me all you like—but watch your words, lest you regret them in the future.
Regret what? Scolding your son? Did I say anything wrong? she sneered. You two are utterly shameless, but I believe your son will surpass you and be even more insidious than you are.
Geoffrey folded his arms around his chest, and remained silent.
Sydney grabbed her bag and stood up, turning to leave.
Syd, Geoffrey said to her retreating back. I was only able to succeed back then because I left you. If you were in my shoes, you’d have left me, too.
Sydney stopped in her tracks, turned around, and snapped coldly, Since you chose success over me, you should hug your success to sleep for the rest of your life. Quit dreaming about things you gave up, because you don’t deserve it.
She then walked away, and disappeared into the distance.
Geoffrey suddenly chuckled as his eyes glinted wickedly. He muttered to himself, We have all the time.in this world. You’ll know soon whether I deserve it or not. I’ve always gotten what I wanted.
Even if he didn’t want it in the past and even threw it aside, as long as he wanted to get it back, it would eventually be his!
Sydney got into the car, and slammed the steering wheel hard.
Disgusting! she cursed.
She pulled out her phone from her pocket, and gave Rosalie a call.
Rosalie answered her call very quickly. Mom, what’s up?
I want to meet you. Where are you right now?
I’m with Seb.
I’ll go to his place, then.
What’s the matter? Why don’t I go look for you instead? We’ll meet somewhere, Rosalie suggested.
No, I can take the chance to see Sebastian, too, Sydney said.
Mom, why do you want to see him?
What? Why can’t I see him? Sydney said with furrowed brows. Since you call me ‘Mom’, what’s wrong with me seeing my son-in-law? You married him without even telling me. Can’t even have lunch with you two?
Sensing the displeasure in Sydney’s. voice, Rosalie said hurriedly, I didn’t mean that. I’ll send you my location so you can come. I’ll have the kitchen prepare lunch.
After they hung up, Sydney received Rosalie’s location through text and immediately drove over.
