Edward took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "If your investment fails, you''ll have nothing. But if you give me your shares, once I make the Talley Group sessful again, I''ll give you 10 billion dors as your start-up capital"


    Rosalie couldn''t help sneering in her heart.


    She thought, it will take forever to wait for you to give me a penny. After you get my shares, you''ll absolutely kick me out.


    I don''t have time. I''m divorced now. Without my own career, what future would I have?" she said.


    Rosalie lowered her head, hiding her face between her hands. Her voice came out muffled and choked.


    "I just want Julian to see that I can still have a great life without him," she added.


    In silence, Edward mocked Rosalie in his heart for her ignorance of the fact that she was a loser.


    He looked at her with disdain, unable to understand how his daughter could be so unaware of her own situation.


    He thought. ''Even if you get all the luck and start a sessful business, Julian, with his trillion-dor fortune, won''t love you because of your minor


    sess.


    "Rosalie He still wanted to try again.


    "Alright, Dad, say no more. Let me go out and experience the world. I''ve lived under Grandpa''s and your protection. I don''t know what I''m capable of Only by facing the world can I prove myself," said Rosalie.


    Edward thought, ''How dare you start a business with a billion dors without knowing your own abilities? How can someone be so unaware o herself?


    Edward realized that no matter how he exined, Rosalie didn''t seem to understand him. He even began to suspect that she might be ying dumb just to politely decline his request,


    Over the past few months, he had found that spending time with his daughter left him feeling incredibly drained.


    The more Edward tried and failed to persuade Rosalie, the more impatient he became. He adopted a stern fatherly demeanor.


    Edward said, "Rosalie, when you were young. I let you do as you pleased because I could help you solve the problems. But now, I can''t let you act impulsively with a billion dors.


    “That''s a billion dors. I don''t want to see you in despair after your business fails," he said.


    He spoke of his selfishness in a particrly eloquent manner, and even those who were unaware of the situation were moved by his words. However, Rosalie remained unconvinced. On the surface, she continued to y the role of a


    fa stubborn, self-centered, and spoiled child.


    She stubbornly replied. "Failure doesn''t matter to me. Even if I lose all my money, you will support me. That''s why I take such a big risk to start my own business.


    Edward''s face twisted in frustration. Before he could respond, Rosalie blurted out, “Dad, you''ll be my backup, won''t you?"


    "Of course," he said with gritted teeth.


    She said, "How wonderfull With your words, I''m so relieved to start my ownpany. Love you, Dad."


    In silence, Edward could only curse in his heart.


    *But..... But if Tobias takes over the Talley Group, I''m not sure if I''ll still be with thepany. In that case, I might not be able to support you anymore" Edward tried to persuade her onest time.


    "How could that be? You still own 5% of the shares in the Talley Group, right? You can still support me with your dividends; Rosalie argued.
