Chapter 167
Rosalie chuckled in disbelief. “I’m sorry, Grandma, but I think it’s not appropriate for me to stay here any longer. I’ll head to the hall now while you guys continue.”
She really didn’t want to stay here a moment longer. She was pregnant, and getting agitated might be detrimental to her baby.
“Sure, Rose. Leave this to me and go.”
Rosalie then left the dining room.
She headed to the hall by herself and settled down on the couch, her blood boiling.
Cynthia was clearly putting on an act–everyone could tell, with the sole exception of Theodore.
So, it was true that love is blind and a man in love would certainly be biased. In the mind of a man in love, there was no such thing as logic and objective truth!
Instead of blaming Cynthia for creating a rift between everyone and saying something like this, he chose to blame Rosalie for mentioning it in the first place.
She was exasperated at his line of thought.
After a while, she heard footsteps coming toward her. She turned to see Cynthia walking in her direction.
Rosalie said coldly, “What are you deline

Cynthia was glowing; not a hint of sadness that was etched on her face earlier was visible.
Rosalie snorted. “Your acting skills are way too lousy. No one else will believe you except for Theodore, but you probably don’t care since it’s enough that he alone believes you.”
Cynthia sat down next to her.
“Rosalie, you’re such a cunning woman. How could you tell Madam

Jarvis something that I told you privately? It was clearly my fault, but thankfully, Theodore chose to defend me.”
“Hah, defend you? What gives you such confidence? Theodore is blind when it comes to you, but have you ever considered this? Even if he thinks his grandmother landed you in this plight, he remains filial to her and won’t blame her. How important do you think you are to him?” Rosalie mocked.
Cynthia clenched her fists, and said through gritted teeth, “At least I’m more important to him than you are! Don’t you dare be smug. So what if Theodore finds out this truth? Believe it or not, he’ll still defend me even if I slander his grandmother!”
“You’re so confident, Ms. Zeller. What if there is concrete evidence?”
“He’ll still defend me, even in the face of evidence. Just watch if you don’t believe me! You’ll never win Theodore’s heart. He’ll stand up for me no matter what I do! I’ll show you!”
With that, Cynthia stood up and left the hall.
Rosalie didn’t know what happened next in the dining room. Things remained calm and quiet in the hall over the next half an hour.
Soon, Theodore arrived in the hall alone, and walked in Rosalie’s

direction.
Rosalie glanced at him, thinking that he might flare up at her. She sneered coldly, “Well, are you here to yell at me for Cynthia’s sake?”
Theodore sat down next to her. “I’m here to talk things through with you.”
“Is that so?” Rosalie glanced at him. “How are you going to do that?”
“Cindy’s operation really was delayed. She found out after she woke up from her operation, so she was in a very bad mood. Having known all along that Grandma didn’t approve of our relationship, she naturally suspected Grandma.”
Rosalie furrowed her brows in frustration. “How can you tolerate her when she so blatantly slandered your grandmother?”
“She didn’t do it on purpose, Rose. Don’t you empathize with her at all? It’s completely normal for Cindy to get agitated and let her imagination run wild in that situation. It is also true that she didn’t say with certainty that Grandma was the one who did it,” Theodore insisted.
