Chapter 49 Jacob though, Da mn, what did I just do? Did just yell at my boss? I will probably get fired. Jacob said, “Mr. Brooks, L.” Jacob felt depressed. He thought. He asked for my opinion. I might have talked too much but Mr. Brooks won’t fire me, right? He is not that cruel, right? Deduct my bonus but don’t fire me. Leonardo asked. “Did you just say that girls always fell for it?” Although Leonardo didn’t pay much attention to Jacob’s words, he vaguely remembered this sentence. Jacob was surprised that Leonardo didn’t mention anything about his bonus. Instead, Leonardo just asked Jacob about something he said before. Jacob thought about it carefully and remembered that he did say this to Leonardo just now Jacob nodded. “Yes!” Jacob’s voice was trembling. And he kept staring at Leonardo’s face for fear that Leonardo would suddenly get angry again. Leonardo raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Well, I don’t need you here. Go on” Leonardo glanced at Jacob and was surprised that Jacob knew such useful words. Jacob was a little confused. He walked out of the office abediently and left Leonardo alone. Jacob wondered what Leonardo was thinking A moment later, Leonardo took out his phone. Leonardo dialed a number and said. “Hello, find out… Rosalind didn’t know how she got home. She was absent-minded when driving and almost had a car accident. Looking at the property ownership certificate on the passenger’s seat, Rosalind had mixed feelings

so much. She couldn’t let Margery down. Although Rosalind said that she would double the price and transfer the money to Leonardo, she still couldn’t calm down. The moment Rosalind opened the door, the two kids rushed over to her. Yanna and Kevin said at the same time. “Rosa, you’re back.” Then Yanna and Kevin threw themselves into Rosalind’s arms. Rosalind asked, “Why are you here? The school is not over yet, right?” Yanna and Kevin looked at each other and felt a bit guilty. Suddenly, Rosalind heard Damian’s voice. “I brought them back. The teacher said that Yana and Kevin had stomachaches so slie called me. Then I brought them back.” Damian walked out of the room and looked Rosalind up and down. He was relieved when he saw that Rosalind was fine. Rosalind said, “Do you still have stomachaches? What happened? Did you go to the hospital? Hearing Damian’s words, Rosalind became nervous and looked them up and down. Damian’s Yanna said, “We’re all right now. We ate a little too much food for lunch and had a digestion problem. But now, we’re okay.” Yanna blughed and lowered her head in embarrassment. And her beautiful big eyes kept rolling. Of course, they wouldn’t tell Rosalind the truth-they were worried after seeing Rosalind leave the house from the surveillance video so thay hurriedly called Damian to take them home. Kevin also nodded slightly, agreeing with Yanna. Kevin stared at Rosalind’s bright eyes. Although Rosalind covered her eyes with a foundation, Kevin noticed her eyes were red and swollen after careful examination Kevin thought, ‘Did Mom cry? Was it because of that man again? Did that man bully Mom again” Yanna and Kevin knew Rosalind’s whereabouts because they implanted a tracker app on Rosalind’s phone after the last
1/3 Chapter 49 accident. Today, they knew Rosalind went to the office building of the Brooks Group from the tracker app so Kevin knew Rosalind must have met Leonardo. Rosalind handed the paper bag to Damian and took the two kids into the living room. Damian opened the paper bag curiously. He was also stunned when he saw Rosalind’s name on the property ownership certificate. Danian said, “What’s going on?” Obviously, Damian didn’t expect this. He found that this certificate was printed five years ago. Rosalind said. “He said that he bought the Jansen villa five years ago and the owner is always me.” Rosalind briefly explained what happened today with mixed emotions. Damian asked, “Did he threaten you? Or, did you promise him anything?” Damian didn’t believe that Leonardo’would do this for nothing Rosalind said. “No, nothing. But I’ve told him that I will give him double the money he paid for it.” Rosalind didn’t want to owe Leonardo anything. Damian said. “You did it right. We don’t have to oise him anything.” They had the money. But the most important thing was Damian did not know what Leonardo was up to. Danian didn’t want to own anybody anything without a solid reason. Rosalind said, “Yeah, I know. Let’s tell this to Mom. She will be happy if she knows that she can go back to the Jansen villa.” Thinking of this, Rosalind suddenly felt saustied and proud. Soon, they could get back to the Jansen villa again. The two little kids were listening to them quietly and they figured out what had happened, Yanna and Kevin thought. He gave the Jansen villa back to Mom for free! Why? What is he up to Is this some kind of trick? Yanna and Kevin looked at each other, exchanged a quick greeting with Rosalind and then ran into
their room. Yanna said in a low voice, “Kevin, did we misunderstand that man? Maybe he’s not that bad. Yanna took out a milk-flavored lollipop from her pocket Kevin said, “So, you start to believe him after that property ownership certificate?! Didn’t you see that Rosalind’s eyes were red and swollen? He must have bullied Rosalind again. How could you say he was not that bad?” Kevin rarely spoke to Yanna in such a cold and stern tone of voice, which frightened Yanna. Yanna paused and said, “I didn’t mean it. But Mom never said bad things about him in front of us. Doesn’t that mean that he is not that bad? And… and I didn’t notice that her eyes were swollen. Why are you suddenly so incan to me? Yanna’s voice was trembling as if she was about to cry. Looking at Yanna’s sad expression and her slightly wet eyes, Kevin sighed helplessly. Kevin said. “Rosa doesn’t want us to worry about her so she won’t say that kind of thing to us. But we can’t be kind to that man even if he is get a bad guy. He made Rosalind ery so he is our enemy. Do you understand?” Yanina pouted She was still a bit confused. But looking at Kevin’s serious face, she had no choice but to nod Yanna said, “Gor it,” After getting Yanna’s answer, Kevin’s face softened slightly and he gently parted Yanna’s head to comfort her. Kevin said, “Good girl, Rosa is silly. We must protect her, all riglu?”
