Chapter 4565
Rosalie bumped into her enemy again when she was shopping. River had brought his niece and nephew out to play. He had two bodyguards and two nannies behind him. They were all strangers. Rosalie thought River had hired the bodyguards and nannies to look after the children as they had come to Solville with Serenity. With his status and wealth, hiring nannies and bodyguards at the last minute was a simple task. River had washed off the lipstick stains on his face and changed his clothes. He met Rosalie just as he was exiting the toy store with the kids. They both stopped. River walked over with Callia in his arms and a smile on his face. “What a coincidence, Rosalie. We meet again. Don’t you think we share a special connection?”Rosalie thought he was spouting nonsense. However, she replied, “Solville isn’t very big. Our companies are close by. We can meet each other every day.“Don’t speak as if we haven’t met each other in a long time.”Indeed, Rosalie and River cou

Rosalie felt everyone around her was viewing her and River as a couple. She leaned against the car seat and felt angry. After sulking for some time, she even felt a twinge of pain in her chest.As she had told her grandpa, she and River could never be together.They were business competitors. Even if she left Summit Group and got married to him, would he be able to trust her and not suspect she would steal his company secrets?Besides, she could not leave Summit Group and her position for River. If she had to make such sacrifices, she would rather not get married. Her grandma, Old Mrs. Lafayette, had always taught her that girls had to be financially independent before or after marriage and never to ask for money. Even a young lady who married into a wealthy family would have to walk on eggshells if she did not have an income and had to rely on her husband. Old Mrs. Lafayette said she had witnessed the miserable post-marriage life of her mother-in-law, who was Rosalie’s

Christian asked nosily, “What happened? Did River want to get revenge?“Did he want you to take responsibility, or was it something else? Are you heading out now, Rosalie? Tell me the address. I’ll rush over now and give you a chance to treat me to a meal.”Rosalie said, “I’m about to head out. You said you weren’t free, so I thought I’d treat you another day. I’m going shopping to get River ten new suits. Since I dirtied his clothes last night, he requested I compensate him with ten new sets of clothes.“Why do I feel like you’re interested in this situation, Christian? Do you find my predicament amusing?”Christian smiled. “I’m interested, but I’m not gloating.“We can’t become lovers or husband and wife, but we can still be friends. We get along well and trust each other.“Friends care about each other. I care about you.”Rosalie replied, “We were going to take things further after our blind date. River suddenly acted that way and became your love rival, but I don’t feel any

“Even if you give your niece and nephew all your assets and expect them to take care of you, what if they’re unkind and force you to transfer your assets to them beforehand? Once you do so, they can get rid of you anytime.“Sometimes even biological children aren’t dependable, Rosalie, let alone nieces and nephews. Your own children are simply relatively better.“If you don’t get married, I can’t rest in peace. Do you want me to feel tormented in the afterlife?”Rosalie said resignedly, “Fine, okay. I’ll find a man and get married. I’ll look for Christian now. I need to thank him and treat him to a meal anyway.“I also have to buy ten new suits for River, that bastard. No wonder he didn’t fight back when I hit him and splashed him with wine. He was digging a trap for me.“If we weren’t enemies, I would’ve suspected that he was doing it on purpose and finding an excuse for me to buy him new clothes. That way, he can have plenty of new clothes for free.”Last time, she only gave Ri

Old Mr. Lafayette did not urge Rosalie. He let her ponder.After a long time, she finally answered his question. “I admit River is a good man and worth entrusting myself to, but he’s not suitable for me.“Our companies have similar business models. We’re competitors. If he were simply an employee, we could’ve headhunted him and made him work for us. That way, River and I can still be together.“However, he’s not an employee but the co-owner of Crest Co. He was the one who revived the company. There’s no way he’ll abandon it because he’s already attached to it.“Besides, we’re competitors and enemies. Even if we feel any sort of admiration for each other, we can’t be husband and wife. If we do, we’ll have to keep preventing one another from stealing our companies’ confidential files.“You can stop your wishful thinking, Grandpa. River and I can’t be together.”Old Mr. Lafayette was rendered speechless.His granddaughter was right on this.Unless River gave up on Crest Co., sol

“Everyone has their biases, after all. They still wouldn’t necessarily be on the same page even if Serenity were his actual sister-in-law. Sometimes, the ones who wish most for your failure are your own flesh and blood.”“That logic applies to most, but not to River and his cousin’s wife.”Decades of life had honed Old Mr. Lafayette’s judgment to razor-sharpness.“I can tell Ms. Serenity genuinely treats River as if he were her younger brother, and he respects her deeply in return. They’re like real siblings.“So, she’ll always take his side. From now on, you should keep your distance. Otherwise, you’ll be caught between them, sold out, and you’d still be counting their earnings for them.”Rosalie’s cheeks flushed. “Grandpa, do you really think I’m that stupid? How could I let them play me like that?“Besides, Serenity is just here on vacation. She’ll leave Solville in a few days. What could she possibly pull?“I just adore her children. Those two are unbelievably adorable. If y
