Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442 Temper

Upon hearing what Rose said, Yasmin let out a cold snort. "Did you hear that, Claudius? Mdm. Rose is asking her to apologize. You guys are in the wrong!"

Sophia glanced at Yasmin before flashing Rose a smile. "What if I don't want to apologize?"

Sophia paused and continued, "I think you should be very clear about whether I have snatched Ms. Lawre's fiancé away."

Rose wasn't angered. Instead, her gaze turned friendlier when she looked at Sophia. "You have quite a temper."

With that, Rose turned toward Yasmin and said, "Yas, I'm actually at fault. I met your dad privately and arranged your marriage with Claudius. If Claudius doesn't want to marry you, I can't force him to."

After that, Rose cast Sophia a glance and added, "If Claudius likes this lady instead of you, there's nothing I can do about it. Please forgive me regarding the marriage arrangement. When I get back to Lusterg, I'll tell your dad about it and cancel the arrangement."

Needless to say, Rose's words caught everyone off guard. Sophia was mentally prepared to get scolded, and she didn't expect Rose to cancel the marriage arrangement between Yasmin and Claudius.

Besides, Sophia could tell that Yasmin was in no position to stop Rose from canceling the marriage arrangement.

On the other hand, Yasmin thought Rose was there to back her up. After all, Yasmin regarded Rose as her family ever since Yasmin was little. Rose treated Yasmin very well back then, so when Rose asked Yasmin if she would marry Claudius, Yasmin agreed hesitantly.

Yasmin agreed to marry Claudius because he was Rose's son. Besides, he was a good-looking man. Growing up, Yasmin was used to getting praised for her looks, and everyone wanted to befriend her. That was the case for everyone apart from Claudius. In fact, he would ignore her whenever she approached him to greet him.

Since Yasmin had always been living abroad, her personality differed from the local girls. However, she came from a rich family, and she excelled in everything she did. Claudius had been her biggest challenge for the past thirty years of her life. Regardless of how she tried to be more open-minded, she still couldn't accept it.

Besides, she seemed to be attracted to his aloofness.

The more Claudius ignored her, the more she wanted him.

Hence, Yasmin regarded Claudius as a challenge in her life. That was why she couldn't accept it when Rose canceled the marriage arrangement.

Yasmin looked at Rose in disbelief and asked, "What did you say, Mdm. Rose? I don't think I understand you."

"You know how I've always been respectful toward the younger generations, Yasmin. Naturally, I'll give Claudius the freedom to choose who he wants to be with." Rose smiled.

Rose's words had crushed all of Yasmin's hopes and dreams. Yasmin's face was as pale as a sheet when she questioned, "Are you kidding me, Mdm. Rose? An ordinary person would surely not care who Claudius was into. However, considering your status and net worth, the marriage arrangement will only benefit our families."

"I'm old now, and I don't even know how much time I have left. Thus, I don't think too far into the future." Rose heaved a sigh. I'm done talking to Yasmin because my mind is set.

With that in mind, Rose turned to look at Claudius. "Send Ms. Yarrow back."

Rose's attitude toward Sophia was unexpected. Not only Yasmin but Claudius and Sophia also found it mind-boggling.

Sophia didn't know who Rose was, but Sophia found it better now that Alexander had become Claudius. Claudius' mother has to be someone with significant influence. I bet she had already investigated me before she came here today. Still, I didn't expect her to stay out of Claudius' love life. Regardless, it's good that she's a friendly person, and she isn't out to make my life difficult.

Since Rose had already mentioned it, Sophia glanced at Claudius and said, "That's not necessary. My room is on the sixteenth floor."

As soon as those words fell, Rose smiled and said, "Let him send you. I need to talk to Yasmin."

Seeing how straightforward Rose was, Sophia tactfully flashed a polite smile and said, "I'll be on my way, then, Ma'am."
