After hearing what Heinz said, Rosalie's face instantly turned pale and lost its color.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Heinz who was in front of her. His words undoubtedly woke her from her blind rage.
It was only after a moment's hesitation that Rosalie realized that her son was already married with a certificate. If he got divorced, it would indeed affect his road to promotion in the future. Why didn't she think of this?
She always felt that since the news of her son's marriage had not been spread, and others did not know about it, she could forget about it.
However, the marriage certificate really did exist. How could it be written off?
She was really confused.
It was all because of that woman, Alice. If she hadn't been so anxious to marry Jensen, he would definitely have had a choice.
When they were at their most intimate, they chose to get married. They should have had a good talk with each other, and then they would naturally separate when their relationship turned cold.
However, she was in too much of a rush to stop them.
She had been so irrational that she made a mistake. She had wanted to break them up in such a hurry. As a result, their relationship seemed to improve and they even hated her.
Rosalie was even angrier at herself. What on earth was she doing?
Heinz saw Rosalie's expression change over and over. He knew that Rosalie had processed his words.
The only thing that could touch the deepest part of Rosalie's heart was probably Jensen's promotion.
Jensen's future was more important than anything else.
If his status kept rising, it would be an honor to the Charm family. Someone like Rosalie who highly valued her reputation would naturally feel very proud.
Heinz knew that Rosalie was always a person who valued reputation very much, up to the point where everything else was secondary to her.
She was also a selfish mother. She thought that reputation was more important than true happiness.
Heinz sighed. Maybe every parent had their own shortcomings. Where were the parents who truly selflessly devoted themselves to their children?
He didn't think he had seen one before, but he hoped he could be that one. He hoped that he could be a good father in the future.
Heinz looked at Rosalie indifferently. At this time, the butler served a pot of tea and added some water for Rosalie.
"Aunt Brooks, please have some tea!" Heinz said plainly, trying his best to be a host.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. As he tasted it, the mellow aroma of the tea diffused the bitterness in his throat.
Heinz looked up at Rosalie again. "You've always been a smart person in my eyes, and you always know what Jensen wants, Aunt Brooks. I'm sure you will congratulate them. Not to mention that Alice is now my sister-in-law and the only heir to the Smith family. Her older sister has been put in prison, while Grace won't inherit any of the Smith family's assets."
The reason Heinz said that was because Grace's status had changed.
He guessed that someone self-aware like Grace would not go after assets that were not technically hers. After all, Anderson was not her biological father.
Her biological father was Timothy, so Heinz concluded that Grace would not accept any property from the Smith family, and would probably give it to her sister Alice instead.
Rosalie had been given a rude awakening, and was then informed about Alice's status. Rosalie's expression was still incredibly unpleasant.
She knew that the higher Alice's status was, the lesser her son would appear to be. Jensen was a policeman, and his salary was low.
