?Chapter 1320:


    Rosie was caughtpletely off guard. Tessa was actually ming her for meddling. This was odd.


    Hadn’t Tessa always been on her side?


    With a huff of grievance, she nced at Tessa, her eyes brimming with disappointment.


    Tessa acted as though she hadn’t noticed.


    Meanwhile, Giselle and Shepard carried on with their conversation, discussing the best time to meet the Richardsons regarding the engagement ceremony.


    A restless feeling lingered with Rosie. Once the meal was over, she led Tessa back to her room as usual.


    As soon as the door closed behind them, Tessa’s voice turned serious. “You’re letting your mind wander, child. Quit dwelling on nonsense and concentrate on your husband. He’s your priority. Do you understand?”


    Rosie brushed the advice aside. “Honestly, Grandma, wealth means more than any man to me. If my husband leaves me, I’ll find another man. But if I’m stripped of my assets, he will divorce me in an instant. I’ve barely lost a few businesses, and he’s already taken another wife. If I end up without my Harper Group shares, he’ll definitely divorce me, because I’ll be nothing to him then.”


    Tessa shook her head, unable to ept Rosie’s perspective. With decades separating them, it was only natural that their perspectives and values would sh.<fnbb46> Read full story at find(?)ovel</fnbb46>


    “You foolish girl,” Tessa said softly. “Money can’t buy everything you want.”


    Rosie pouted, unwilling to agree. “I still believe wealth and influence are what count. But Grandma, you did make one good point: I need to secure my ce in his heart. He can have as many women as he wishes, so long as I’m the one holding authority.”

    Tessa frowned in confusion. “You’re fine with your husband having other women?”


    Rosie shrugged, her tone t. “That doesn’t bother me, Grandma. In Plieca, polygamy is part of the culture; it’spletely legal. But no matter how many wives there are, only one truly runs the household. And that role belongs to me.”


    She suddenly clutched Tessa’s arm. “Grandma, you’re all I have left. Everyone’s ganging up on me; you have to stand by me.”


    Tessa gently patted her hand. “How are they ganging up on you? They’ve already promised you the shares that are rightfully yours. You now control twenty percent of the Harper Group’s shares. With that much, you can hold your ground in Plieca. What’s there to fear? What you should do is return to your husband and win his heart back.”


    Rosie gave a scoff. “I won’t tter him, Grandma. He’s the one who depends on me, not the other way around. He should be the one trying to please me.”


    “It’s your decision,” Tessa replied calmly. “In a few days, I’ll be leaving. I don’t feel at ease staying here. You can live however you want; I won’t interfere.”


    She had grown weary of this ce. Luther had died herest year, and every time she walked into the living room or the dining room, memories of him overwhelmed her with sorrow.


    After a pause, she continued, “What’s more, my condition keeps weakening. I should return to the estate and focus on resting.”


    By Monday noon, Ethan was in thepany cafeteria, having lunch with Brenna.


    As he ate, his phone rang with a call.


    Seeing the caller, he scowled and muttered, “What is it this time?”


    It was Elsa calling.
