As soon as Chloe walked out the door, Benedict's face turned serious right after.
"What's wrong with you? Don't always talk nonsense about our family affairs!"
His voice was so stern that it made Melody's face turn ugly.
"What? I'm not wrong. Besides, Chloe is much closer to me than that Rosalie. She's not really an outsider. Why would she, as an outsider, decide to play pretend with our son and help save Rosalie in the end?"
Benedict frowned at his wife’s angry face.
"You, why can't you respect Byron's choice? Byron is no longer a child. Can you stop being so controlling? Whether it's his relationship, marriage, or family, let him deal with it himself. Can't you just enjoy the happiness?"
Benedict's mentality was purely laissez-faire.
He had been galloping in the business industry for decades, and he learned a lesson well— no matter what the reason, one will never be able to persuade others if the other party refuses to listen.
Even those closest to you!
Therefore, in the early stages when his son took over the Lawrence Corporation, he let his son mess up even when he knew that there would be some mistakes.
No one can take away the valuable wisdom obtained from making your own mistakes!
However, how could Melody understand his wisdom?
Melody was upset with what she heard, so she stood up abruptly, almost arms akimbo. "What's wrong? Aren’t I only doing what’s best for Byron? Well, truth be told, Rosalie must have seen how weak Estie was and decided to abandon her. Then, she had these two boys with another man. Now she comes back to masquerade these boys as the Lawrence family’s grandsons. Do you know about this?"
“......”
She felt as if the whole world was standing with Rosalie, and no one supported her.
Immediately, she retorted. "Don't talk about Wendy. Wendy was fine when Rosalie wasn’t in the picture. Who knows what Rosalie did to trigger Wendy, which caused Wendy to do irrational things? So, must the root cause be Wendy?"
Benedict finally gave up when he knew his wife could not accept the fact. He could not reverse his wife's prejudice against Rosalie in such a short time.
This could only come slowly.
"Okay, let's forget about that. We haven't seen Estie for some time. Now it's almost the end of school, so let's go see her together."
Melody's expression slowly returned to normal after her husband deliberately switched the topic. Then, she nodded in agreement.
