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.

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
