ALL of a sudden, the scenes from that night vaguely flashed through Brian's mind.

“Yes, I saw it. I thought it was Eleanor's, so I gave it back to her."

“Well, it's mine, I wore it since I was a child, and I've taken it back. Do you still not believe me?" Rosalynn asked flatly.

Brian looked at Rosalynn and said, "I trust you."

She had no reason to deceive him, It was only natural for him to have faith in her.

However, her confession came a bit too late, leaving him with a lingering unease.

When Rosalynn mentioned the pendant, Selina couldn't help but panic.

But when she remembered that she had taken away the jade pendant, a wave of relief washed over her,

Unable to openly confront Eleanor's tragic end, Selina decided to provoke Noemi and stir up trouble for Rosalynn instead.

Selina cast a sidelong glance at Noemi, a cunning idea forming in her mind.

“It appears there is more to this story than we know. Eleanor's actions might not deserve sympathy after all

After a pause, she continued, “However, I suspect Eleanor did what she did out of envy for Rosalynn's ability to capture Brian's heart. After all, there are very few men like Brian in the world who are faithful and devoted to one woman."

By deliberately showering praise on Rosalynn and Brian's relationship, Selina hoped to redirect Noemi's sensitive emotions squarely onto Rosalyn.

Noemi had never liked Rosalynn. Therefore, she didn't want her son to love her.

As expected, Noemi's expression changed.

“Brian, you haven't answered the question I asked earlier, I'll ask you again. Are you going to divorce her?"

Brian stood tall, a hint of impatience and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He softened his tone, saying, "Mom, the most important thing right now is your well-being. Let's not dwell on anything else."

Although he didn't say it clearly, it was evident that Brian didn't want to get a divorce.

Noemi understood what he meant, and her eyes welled up with tears.

“I know you have always resented me for abandoning you. You grew up without a mother's love, nearly losing your life at one point. So, you prefer Rosalynn over me. In that case, you should leave. You are not my son anymore."

Her voice trembled with sadness.
