Chapter 252
At the emergency room of Savrow Hospital, Rosalind had already received a blood transfusion, but she was still in critical
condition.
When she was brought in, her entire face was so pale that it was almost transparent. The cuts on her wrists were hideous and
deep.
Patrick, Jean, Gregory, and Bethany were waiting in the corridor.
Jean was heartbroken and bawled while calling out her daughter’s name.
“That’s enough! How could you cry like this at your age? You’re embarrassing us!” Patrick admonished her with a gloomy face.
“Are you kidding me? Our daughter’s life is hanging by a thread, but as her father, you only think about how I’m embarrassing
you. Do you even have a heart?!”
Jean grabbed and pulled her husband’s collar while crying hysterically. “My son is already in prison. Rose is the only child I have
now! If anything happens to her, I won’t be able to live anymore!”
Patrick’s face was glum. His daughter attempted suicide because of a man, and his wife was making a fuss.
Patrick already had an inferior complex with Gregory. But this time, he felt even more embarrassed in front of his brother-in-law
because he could not figure out how to deal with his wife and daughter. In a fit of rage, Patrick shoved Jean, who stumbled to the
floor.
“Are you done making a scene?! This is a hospital. Do you think this is a farmer’s market? Look in the mirror! Do you still look
like the wife of a chairman?!”
“You... You pushed me...” Jean collapsed on the floor. She was so stunned that she forgot to cry.
“Aunt Jean, Uncle Patrick, please stop arguing! What’s most important is that Rose can survive the critical period.” Bethany
hurriedly stepped forward to help Jean. However, she was secretly smiling.
If Shannon had not been assisting with the investigation at the prosecutor’s office and Gregory had not dragged her over to
console Jean, Bethany would not have cared about Rosalind’s well-being.
Since Bethany was already at the hospital, she would have to complete the act. Thus, she could not laugh, no matter how
secretly happy she was.
“Gregory, my daughter has become like this because of your son. You must give us an explanation!”
Patrick had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only blame Gregory. “My daughter and
your
son have been in a relationship for so many years. She gave Justin the most precious years of her youth! Now that their marital
news is spreading, everyone in Savrow knows that my daughter is Justin’s fiancée. At first, their wedding was set to be after Old
Master Nigel’s birthday. Your son and that woman delayed finalizing their divorce, but we put up with it for Old Master Nigel’s
sake. Now that his birthday has passed and they have finalized their divorce, how could your son suddenly back out at this time?
What kind of girl from a good family can bear this kind of betrayal? Your son is just forcing my daughter off a cliff!”

Gregory was frustrated. His face was glum, and he did not know what to say.
“We... Although we’re not as rich and influential as the Thompsons, we’re decent people who deserve respect. Justin is bullying
Rose by treating her so callously!”
Jean stood up with Bethany’s support and said angrily, “Chairman Salvador, our family will not let this slide! If Justin breaks up
with my daughter, we will definitely leak it to the press. We can all go to hell together!”
She knew that Rosalind attempted suicide to force Justin’s hand in marriage.
Rosalind and Justin were childhood sweethearts. As long as that man still had a hint of nostalgia for Rosalind, he would not sit
idly by and watch her die.
Even if they could not get married in the end, Jean would strive to get the maximum benefit from the Salvadors. That way, she
could also save her family from bankruptcy. No matter how she looked at it, this was a profitable deal!
Gregory sighed repeatedly. He looked troubled.
With Shannon’s arrest making headlines, if news spread about the CEO of Salvador
Corporation two-timing his fiancée, forcing her to commit suicide, Salvador Corporation’s reputation would go down the drain,
and their stocks would plummet.
At this point, Gregory no longer cared about Justin’s willingness. He simply made a decision.” Don’t worry, when Rose wakes up,
you can tell her that I will make sure Justin marries her as planned.”
After hearing this, the Golds’ expressions relaxed a little.
However, Jean still had lingering fears when she thought about the past. Justin was gaining more power in Salvador Corporation.
He was no longer the weak, illegitimate son who would listen to Gregory’s orders. Thus, Justin might not even care about the
promise that Gregory made.
At this time, a series of footsteps came from the end of the corridor.
Justin’s handsome face was pale, as if it were covered in frost. He walked toward them with Ian in tow.
“How is Rose?”
Before Gregory could answer, Jean rushed over with fiery eyes and grabbed Justin’s shirt. “Justin! What did my daughter ever do
to you?! Look at what you’ve done to her! Do you want Rosalind to die so that you can get back together with your ex-wife?!”
“Mrs. Gold! Calm down!” Ian hurriedly pulled Shannon away from Justin.
This caused a big stir. Even though there were bodyguards standing guard over the area, some onlookers still poked their heads
to watch the fun.
