It seemed that Leonardo was well aware of the thoughts swirling around their minds, and a sig grin played across his lips. This was all part of his plan. Firstly, it was to quell the rumors as soon as possible and protect Rosalind from media. disturbance.
Additionally, it was a move to avoid unnecessary trouble. The media that had gathered at the hospital to besiege the ward lacked integrity and professionalism. Rather than letting them twist the truth and create chans, he chose to address the matter directly through a live broadcast, sidestepping many potential complications.
Jacob also stared at Leonardo in shock until Leonardo’s icy gaze swept over, confirming that he wasn’t joking. Jacob immediately grabbed his phone and initiated the live broadcast.
“Since everyone is so curious about Rosalind’s relationship with me, I have no reason to conceal the truth. Rosalind is, indeed, my wife.”

The revelation set off an explosion of reactions among the crowd. With Leonardo’s personal confession, the speculation surrounding their relationship was essentially confirmed
Leonardo glanced at the buzzing crowd.
He continued, “My marriage with Rosalind isn’t a calculated move, nor did 1 pursue her for personal gain. We were college classmates, and 1 had feelings for her even back then, However, due to my reserved nature and slow emotional progress, I only realized my true feelings later on
“Now, after all these years, I can say with certainty that I’ve loved Rosalind for a long time. I have loved her since our college days until this very moment. My feelings have never wavered
*Due to my immaturity, Rosalind was hurt in the past, but I still love her and want to be with her forever.
The revelation sparked an even greater commotion among the onlookers
The media, who had been eager to capitalize on this hot topic, felt frustrated that Leonardo’s live broadcast had stolen their thunder. Some of them disregarded Leonardo’s status and directly attacked him, seeking to undermine his credibility.
“Mr. Brooks, your words are just empty talk. If you truly loved Rosalind as you claim, why did you divorce her? It simply doesn’t add up!”
“That’s right. Rumor has it that your son with Virginia is already five years old. If my calculations are correct, Virginia must have been pregnant with him while you were still married to Rosalind. How can you call it love for Rosalind when you
cheated on her?”
“You keep professing your love for Rosalind, but isn’t Rosalind currently hospitalized because of Mrs. Maria Brooks? If you truly loved her, why would you allow your mother to come and harm the woman you supposedly care for?” “Exactly, Mr. Brooks, even though you want to defend Rosalind, there’s no need to fabricate lies about loving her. It’s so unconvincing, and nobody believes it…”
One after another, people voiced their opinions, connecting the dots and reaching a unanimous conclusion: Leonardo’s love for Rosalind was nothing but a lie. Everything he said earlier vas a charade meant solely to defend Rosalind.
As to why Leonardo was so keen on defending Rosalind, no one had given it much thought.

“That’s not enough, you little devil.”
Jerome replied teasingly, setting aside Virginia’s phone before lifting her up and carrying her into the bathroom.

The fact that the esteemed CEO of Brooks Group had been cuc kolded for so many years made people feel sympathetic. Some even sected to take pleasure in his misfortune, feeling that the Brooks Group’s CEO was nothing special.
“But Dylan’s surname is Brooks. If he is not Mr. Brooks son, why did Mr. Brooks let him have the surname and live in the Brooks residence?”
