Chapter 234
Damian’s intense gaze made Jonas feel uneasy, causing him to unconsciously step back, his scalp tingling slightly as he bugged his shoulders.
Damian’s mouth pitched with frustration Damian wouldn’t even consider Joens n suitable match for a woman like Rosalind, let alone Rosalind herself.
Suddenly. Damian thought of Lyle. So many years had passed, and that guy was still single and got along well with Rosalind, Yamma and Kevin. If Lyle became his brother–in–law, perhaps he might feel more at ease.
On the other hand, Leonardo carried Maria into her hospital room, drawing mumerous curious glances.
Even though some people saw Leonardo carrying Maria, they didn’t dare to approach him due to his status and the cold aura around him
Leonardo gently placed Maria on the bed and turned to leave, but he was halted by Maria’s sharp voice.
“Leonardo, am I still your mother? Why didn’t you help me when I was being allied? I’ve lived for so many years, and this is the first time someone has beaten me. How am I supposed to maintain my reputation in the future!”
Leonardo turned around and looked at the hysterical Maria with a calan expression.
“Mom have you ever thought about why Rosalind’s mother hit you?”
Leonardo’s tone remained composed, making it hard to gauge his feelings.
____“Isn’t it because I rxposed the ugly things that Rosalind did? She felt quilty, and that’s why!”
Maria snerrril, as if she had long known Margery’s intentions, showing disdain on her face.
Leonardo was left speechless. He didn’t know when his mother had become sos judgmental and sarcastic.
Did Margery hit her out of guilt?
No, any mother who heard someone inselting their daughter like that, especially in front of so many people, would probably react with violence. Why couldn’t his mother understand this?
“What ugly things! Is it ugly for her to like toe, or for me ta like her?”
“Of course it is…
Maria wanted to say that Rosalind was seducing Leonardo hut was interrupted by Leonardo’s firm voice.
“What do you mean of course? Both Rosalind and I are single and have feelings for each other. We’re not stealing or taking away anything. What’s wrong with us being together? Why do you find it sa unbearable?”
“What stealing or taking away? How can you say such nonsense?”
Maria stared at Leonardo, who was talking loudly to her, in disbelief, feeling like she didn’t recognize him anymore,
“Why can’t I say it? You just insulted Rosalind in the harshest way possible. Why can’t we defend ourselves in a similar way?”
Leonardo chuckard lightly, his smile ringed with bitter helplessness. He turned his head to gaze out of the window, looking
weary.
“Mom, why have you become so unreasonable? Have I indulged and doted on you for so long that you’ve stopped caring about others in your actions?”
Looking at Leonardo’s expressionless face, Maria sensed that something bad was about to happen. She panicked and quickly shook her head.
“I didn’t…”
But her guilty voice was as faint as a mosquito’s,
“You didn’t?”
“Hmph, how can you deny it? When Margery slapped you, you felt embarrassed. Have you ever considered haw I would face the public and the employees of Brooks Group when you slapped me in front of so many people during a live broadcast?
“You felt wronged, but have you ever thought about how Rosalind will cope with the situation at BUT Group after being insulted by you like that? She was almost strangled by you; how frightened maist she have been?
“Have you ever considered that your behavior turned Brooks Group into the biggest joke in Hallowin?”
Being repeatedly questioned by Leonardo, Maria fell her swollen Esce get even hotter, and she instinctively retorted.
*1… did it all for what? but it all for you!”
Leonardo chuckled helplessly.

“You think you did everything for my sake, but have you ever considered how I’m going to face Rosalind when you cursed her and spread rumors about her?
“The person I lave so deeply looks so terrible in your eyes, and the person I want to protect is now hurt by you. Is this supposed to be beneficial for me? Do you really think my judgment is so poor that I can’t distinguish right from wrong?
“You keep saying it’s all for une, but just because of that, you think you can freely meille in my emotions, interfere with my work, and try to push women like Virginia tensard me?
“Is it all for my sake! No, It’s just for your damn possessiveness”
Leonardo should have realized this long ago. Five years ago, when he was prepared to live a good life with Rosalind, Maria forced him to divorce Rosalind by threatening him with suicide.
From that moment, he should have sensed how strong Maria’s possessiveness was. But at that time, in order to appease her. Leonardo didn’t think too much about it.
He even agreed to her unreasonable demand to have Virginia appointed as the design director at Brooks Group, all because he was concerned about Maria’s health.
“You… you…”
Maria didn’t know if it was because Leonardo had hit a nerve or if it was out of guilt, but she gasped heavily and raised her hand to fiercely slap Leonardo’s cheek. The force was so great that Maria’s hand became slightly numb from the pain
Leonardo moved his somewhat stiff cheek and used his te
