Before Raima could finish her words, other colleagues said, "Did you do it?"
"Yes. What on earth is your relationship with Mr. Cowell?"
"Your sister has been defiled by gangsters. Doesn't that mean she's no match for you?"
My colleagues spoke one after the other.
They, who were almost in the same mood, just intend to watch the show and gossip.
It was especially true with Raima. She knew that Caroline had wronged me by taking advantage of Ronald and that Ronald's wife had put Ronald's corpse at the gate of the company. She knew everything back then.
Most of the people working in Glorious Seth Design at that time had a bad impression of me.
Raima was no exception.
I looked at these people and said word by word, "Regarding my relationship with Caroline's fiance, who is also our Mr. Cowell, it is the same as those between you and him."
My words sounded somewhat indirect.
But it seemed that I had made it clear.
"But you mixed highly-concentrated formaldehyde on the wall of her studio previously. You had a grudge against her, didn't you?"
Raina was persistent.
"There's a grudge between me and her. But, whether it's the matter of mixing formaldehyde in her studio or what happened to her this time, neither of them has something to do with me." I looked at her and said calmly, "Even if there is deep hatred between me and her, I won't go so far as to ask someone to rape her."
After that, I sat down.
I didn't say any words to them.
However, after that, I had been looking for posts about Caroline online.
I found that Caroline seemed to have escaped to a farm in the suburbs in the middle of the night by herself and asked them to help call the police.
Then, the farmer's son, who was just sixteen years old, saw Caroline's look and took a few photos of her.
After that, he posted the photos on the Internet.
Only after that was this matter exposed. I told Raina and my colleagues that I would never do such a thing.
They were skeptical.
But some people wouldn't believe it.
And they were the members of the Archer Family.
As soon as I finished taking a nap that afternoon, I received a call from the staff of Holy Spirit Hospital. It was a doctor. It seemed that someone asked him to tell me that Rosy was in the hospital.
Hearing this news, I was shocked.
I immediately asked for leave and went straight to Holy Spirit Hospital.
After I arrived at the hospital, I got Rosy's room number and went straight upstairs!
Rosy lived on the 9th floor.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a familiar person in the corridor.
It was Tracy Archer.
In terms of seniority, she should be my aunt.
However, just like other members of the Archer Family, she didn't even give me a serious look after I entered the Archer Family's house.
At this moment, she was on the phone.
I wanted to go inside, only to hear her say over the phone, "I think my mother can't survive this time. You should ask the lawyer to make a fake testament. Otherwise, my brother's shares will be more than mine because of the two more illegitimate children of his!"
"Two more illegitimate children?"
I was a little surprised.
"Could it be that Tracy was referring to Caroline and me?"
"Although she wasn't good to me in daily life, she was good to Caroline. How could she address me and her the same behind my back?"
"Get it done in a hurry during these few days. My brother has been thinking about his daughter recently. So he certainly can't care less about this."
When I heard Tracy's words, I suddenly found it a little strange.
"Could it be that Tracy was the one who had ruined Caroline?"
"And she did so to change Rosy's will, right?"
I wanted to listen to her conversation more. But Tracy had hung up the phone and entered the ward.
I also came out of the corner and walked into the ward.
Before I could arrive at the door, I heard Tracy crying and saying, "Mom, you have to get better!"
She was indeed good at acting.
Tracy still wanted to say something. But there was noise in the ward.
Both of us looked over and found that Rosy, who was weak, wanted to get out of bed!
The two of us rushed in quickly.
I grabbed Rosy and helped her back to the bed. Then, I said worriedly, "Grandma, don't move."
Rosy didn't look at me. Instead, she looked at Tracy who was behind me as she said, "I've told you that this matter surely has nothing to do with Charlotte."
Although her tone was weak, it sounded pretty firm.
When I heard her words, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.
Tracy said reluctantly, "Mom, never can a human's true nature be known!"
"It's enough." Rosy waved her hand, "You've been here for a whole day. Now that Charlotte is here. You can go back and have a rest."
"Mom!"
Tracy was a little hesitant.
Rosy insisted on letting her go. So Tracy had no choice but to leave.
As soon as Tracy left, I asked Rosy what on earth had happened.
Rosy let out a long sigh and told me the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that after Caroline tricked me at the door of my company that day, she had a meal with Patrick.
It wasn't unknown what the two of them had talked about. That evening, after Patrick sent Caroline back home, Caroline made a crazy fuss at home. She quarreled with Jeremy and Gina and then went out alone.
Then she didn't come back that day. The next day, the Archer Family realized that she was missing.
As soon as something happened to Caroline, Gina remembered that Caroline said that she had seen me before.
However, Rosy told me one more thing, that was, over such a long time, Caroline had been living at home and rarely stayed outside at night. Therefore, Gina found out that she hadn't come back home within one day.
As for this point, it was totally out of my expectation.
I stayed in the hospital, accompanying Rosy. And Olena brought porridge for Rosy in the evening.
As I was feeding Rosy, I saw Gina and Jeremy carry a bunch of healthcare products into the ward.
As soon as they saw me, they, who were smiling brightly, instantly became angry.
