Chapter 335
“Yes, I know her, but…”
Rosalie didn’t tell Geoffrey that Sydney was her mother–in–law. Technically, they were no longer in-laws, but she still called Sydney‘ Mom‘. She was worried Geoffrey wouldn’t believe her if she told him. this fact, and right now, saving Sebastian was more important.
“Do you have any proof? Why should I believe you? Even if she refused to lend to Regent Co., it doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Unless…” Geoffrey’s firm tone suddenly softened. “Unless I can hear it from her directly. Otherwise, your words are just that–words.”
‘Alright, I’ll ask her to tell you herself. Wait a moment.”
Rosalie took out her phone, and walked to the side to send a message to Sydney.
[Mom, please help me with something. My friend’s father thinks he lost a project to Regent Co. and wants to punish him severely. I need to prove that Regent Co. has issues so I can help him avoid punishment. Can you tell his father that Regent Co. has problems? You’re respected in the field, so he’ll definitely believe you.]
Sydney replied almost immediately. [Alright.]
Rosalie sighed in relief.
[Thanks, Mom. But please don’t tell him about our relationship. I’m. worried that if he knows, he’ll think we’re in cahoots.]
[Okay.]
Then, Rosalie immediately called Sydney. Sydney answered the call at
once.

“Hello.”
“Hold on, I’ll pass the phone to him.”
Rosalie walked back to Geoffrey, and handed him the phone.
Geoffrey stared at the phone in Rosalie’s hand, lost in thought for a moment. Seeing the string of numbers on the screen, he was
momentarily dazed.
When she saw that he didn’t respond, Rosalie called out to him. “Mr. Carter?”
Geoffrey regained his senses, feeling rather annoyed with himself. He hadn’t zoned out like that for a long time. like that for a long time.
After a brief hesitation, he took the phone and put it next to his ear.
“Hello. I’m Sydney Harper, President of Apex Bank. Whatever Rosalie has told you is true.”
Hearing her voice after so long, Geoffrey gripped the phone tightly. He felt as if his voice was stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him, to speak.
“President Harper, this is Geoffrey Carter.”
A terrifying silence followed.
Upon hearing his voice, Sydney abruptly hung up. Geoffrey could no longer hear any sound from the other end.
Rosalie didn’t know Sydney had already hung up. She didn’t
understand why Geoffrey wasn’t speaking, nor did she know if Sydney. was still talking to Geoffrey.
Why was it taking so long?
After another ten seconds or so, Geoffrey lowered his hand until it reached his thigh. He seemed dejected.

“Do you believe it now?” Rosalie asked. “She’s really the president of Apex Bank. If you don’t believe it, you can check.”
Geoffrey suddenly sighed softly, and raised his eyes. “Yes.”
He handed the phone back to Rosalie. She took it, and sighed in relief.
“Since you believe it, I hope we can handle this matter another way. Sebastian should be spared the punishment. Instead, he should be given a chance to make up for it. I’m sure he’ll do a great job.”
“How do you know President Harper?” Geoffrey asked.
“I…”
If Rosalie revealed her relationship with Sydney, Geoffrey might feel deceived and think they were colluding to trick him.
