The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 308

Everyone in the city's elite circle knew she regretted it. She had thrown away a flawless marriage and an incredibly good man.

She regretted ignoring her parents' advice. She regretted being so naive, not realizing that when you walk away from the right person, it's for a lifetime. Fate rarely offers second chances.

Her younger sister had married into the Grant family, securing the eldest, legitimate son who was backed by the powerful Sterling family.

But Harrison Grant's abilities were a pathetic joke compared to Gideon Grant's.

Genius was genetic. Harrison took after his mother, the arrogant, entitled Sterling matriarch.

Meanwhile, the illegitimate son, Gideon, had inherited every ounce of his father's brilliance, ultimately surpassing him in every way.

Or perhaps he had inherited it from his stunningly beautiful mother, though since she had long passed away, there was no way to confirm it.

Gideon was exceptionally brilliant. Even among the sharpest young heirs in their elite circle, he was an absolute standout.

Whenever her parents thought about their two daughters' marriages, they could only sigh in despair.

Her mother constantly blamed her father, arguing that her sister had always liked Gideon. If they had just let her marry him, she would be living a perfect, harmonious life right now.

Her father felt the sting of regret too, but how could anyone have predicted that Gideon would become such a ruthless powerhouse?

As the years dragged on, Harrison's mediocrity had become glaringly obvious. He lacked the basic strategic vision for any major decision, and his influence within the corporation had practically vanished.

It wasn't even that Harrison was terribly incompetent; it was simply that Gideon was far too exceptional. Leading a massive empire required sheer, unadulterated talent, not just hard work and effort.

Jocelyn strongly suspected that Gideon had spent his entire life brilliantly hiding his true capabilities.

And so her parents wallowed in regret. Both daughters had been presented with the perfect marriages, and both had squandered them, making colossally wrong choices.

Vanessa opened her mouth to plead again, but Jocelyn shot her a death glare. The lingering sting of Zane's refusal to take her back made her increasingly irritable.

"Shut your mouth! One more word and I'll slap you senseless!"
