Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 962

When he met Sean and his wife, Old Master Shaw dragged the words out between his lips and told them his intention to visit their home.

Before the words left his mouth, Rose started to cry hysterically. Not only that, she even fell to her knees i n front of him. "Uncle Shaw, you...you watched me grow up, you watched Sean grow up too. You know Sean and I are childhood friends. We attended college together, we studied abroad together, we fought hard, and built the Ford Group together. We already have three sons together. Do you want to see my perfect family fall to ruins just like that?"

Seeing her cry and wail like this, Old Master Shaw was infuriated.

He questioned her furiously, "Since you know the importance of your family, then why would you plan everything yourself and to find Sean a mistress?"

As he said that, Old Master Shaw coughed slightly in guilt. He had no right to question her on this, because he himself was a married man who had another secret family. That was why he regretted saying this the moment the words left his mouth.

As expected, Rose asked immediately, "Uncle Shaw, forgive me for my bold words, don't you have another woman on the side? Will you divorce your wife and marry the other woman?"

Of course not! He had never considered marrying that woman. He barely even glanced at the child she had given birth to. In his eyes, since ancient times, the women men had on their sides were only meant to be plaything. They were mere toys, and not to be viewed a s real, substantial relationships. Because most of those women were sly, unsightly things. For example, his own mistress only told me on her deathbed that their daughter was actually the daughter of his legal wife. She had stolen her as a baby and raised her as her own. Judge for yourself! How evil and conniving a mistress like her could be?

This was Old Master Shaw's understanding of a mistress. But even so, he did not forget to speak up for Grace. "Rose, it's not that I want to berate you but you were the one who came up with the idea of finding a mistress for Sean on this island, to help him cement his rule on the island. And you even purposely sought out the orphaned daughter of the former leader of this island. Now that she’s pregnant you want to discard her so ruthlessly? How unfair is it to her?"

Hearing Old Master Shaw's words, Rose felt even more righteous.

"Then tell me what I should've done, Uncle Shaw? For the sake of the greater good, which empire was not built on the blood and tears of its leaders? Since long ago, to protect his empire and reduce the loss of life caused by military conflict, the emperor would even give his daughter's hand in marriage to a distant, far away king. Sometimes, they would even send one of their old concubines to remarry. Do you think doing this doesn't cut the emperor to the core? Do you think his heart didn't bleed in pain when he did so?"

Old Master Shaw had no reply to Rose’s speech.

She continued solemnly, "Uncle Shaw, the Ford Group needs to expand, but a few of its subsidiaries are facing financial difficulty. If we can take advantage of this naturally rich but yet underdeveloped island and earn ourselves a fortune, then we can use the money t o revive those few failing subsidiaries. The Ford Group can be saved, and South City’s economy will not suffer. This way, thousands of jobs can be saved. But if our plan on Star Island failed..."

Rose left the rest of her sentence unsaid. But the old man already knew the gravity of the situation.

Rose continued, "For the Ford Group and for the livelihoods of thousands of Ford Group’s employees, I had no choice but to allow my husband to put down his roots on this island. And the best way to do so is to have a relationship with the daughter of the former leader of the island. My heart was already bleeding when I let my husband into the arms of another woman. Now, must I really hand over my husband to her?"
