Back then, Rosalynn was doing her best to play the role of a good and gentle girl for Wayne.
The folks around Wayne didn't pay her much mind, they didn't even bother to watch their words around her.
So, Rosalynn heard a lot of chatter about Erica from the people around Jacob.
"Genetics don't lie, her mother was a home-wrecker, so how good could she possibly be? Just look at the endless stream of men around her in these years since she split with Jacob!"
"She claims she turned down her marriage proposal, but who knows if the guy just got wind of her reputation and decided to beat it?"
"Maybe she's just spreading this rumor to keep Jacob on a leash?"
Back then, Rosalynn had a few encounters with Erica.
Regardless of anything else, she had seen the way Erica looked at Jacob. Her eyes were always full of admiration and sparkling, totally different from how she looked at others.
She felt really uneasy about what those people were saying.
The only time she ever interfered with these rich kids' affairs when she was around Wayne was for Erica.
When Jacob's friends were all making fun of Erica and Jacob was there, she thought Jacob would stand up for Erica. But he chose to stay silent the whole time.
At that moment, Rosalynn understood. In Jacob's mind, Erica was exactly as these people portrayed her.
She bumped into Erica the next day.
Thinking that Erica had been nice to her, Rosalynn blurted out, "Ms. Lawrence, do you really have to be with Jacob?"
Erica looked incredibly shocked, then as if she realized something, "You were at the party with Wayne last night, right? You heard them talking about me, right?"
Rosalynn didn't say a word, but Erica suddenly hugged her, "You're a good person."
After that, Erica started hanging out with Rosalynn on her own initiative.
Until the "male prostitute" incident long ago, when Erica was scared by Wayne into fleeing the country.
