Chapter 326 Please Let Roselle Off
“I don’t need anyone else. All I need is Grandma!” Gregory reached out his arms, held Stefania around her neck, and showered her with sweet mutterings. “You’re the best grandma in the world. Nobody can take your place!”
“Oh my, did my Little Greg have too much candy today? You’re such a sweet-talker.” Stefanie momentarily forgot that she was here to match up Nicholas with Hayley as she was overjoyed from being coaxed by Gregory.
Meanwhile, Nicholas went straight to the company after leaving his home. However, it wasn’t long before Edward knocked on his door and came in. “President Sawyer, our lawyer has started the case against Roselle Gingham, and her parents came here early in the morning hoping to see you.”
“I’m not available,” Nicholas said coldly.
He knew clearly why the Gingham couple wanted to meet him, but he couldn’t let Roselle off when she had extended her claws time and time again toward Gregory.
Edward nodded, then turned around and passed the instructions to the receptionists downstairs.
Upon receiving the order, the receptionist politely said to the Gingham couple, “I’m sorry, but our president isn’t available.”
Yana and her husband, Declan Gingham, had a rather nasty expression when they heard that.
After the police arrested Roselle, they went from place to place trying to pull strings to get Roselle off the hook, but the Sawyer Family was simply too influential. Finally, out of wits, they could only come to look for Nicholas, hoping that he would let Roselle go for the sake of the friendship between their families in the past.
But they didn’t expect that they couldn’t even meet Nicholas in person!
When they were out of the Sawyer Group, Yana started condemning them. “This is too much. Why does the Sawyer Family have to go this far when Roselle has already learned her lesson? What do they take the friendship between our families as?”
Although Declan was quiet, the look on his face was dreadful. In the end, they had no other choice but to look for Stefania.
…
At the entrance into the yard of the Sawyer residence, Stefania had just returned from Dynasty Gardens in high spirits because of all the sweet-talking by Gregory until she caught sight of Yana and her husband at her doors unexpectedly right after she got out of the car.
Immediately, her face fell, and her tone was harsh as she asked, “What are you people doing here?”
The fury in Stefania’s heart ignited at the sight of them as she was unpleasantly reminded of the things their family did to Gregory. Now, she especially regretted bringing the mother-daughter duo back home, which was as good as inviting the monsters under the bed out into the open.
Yana suppressed her dissatisfaction when she saw the unhappy look on Stefania’s face and put on a sycophantic smile. “Stefania, I know that Roselle has gone overboard, but she has learned her lesson. So will you please forgive her this time?”
“Yana Johnson, I truly wonder how you can be so shameless as to come begging me for forgiveness again and again.”
Stefania shot her a glare filled with rage, and she glowered at Yana fiercely.
Yana felt incredibly embarrassed as she stood there with a frozen face at Stefania’s words. For a moment, she had the urge to tear her relationship with Stefania into shreds, then turn around and leave. However, at the thought of her daughter’s situation, she bore with it in the end.
Instead, she once again pleaded, “Stefania, please forgive Roselle again, alright? For the sake of our friendship of more than a decade, and I promise you that I’ll keep a stricter watch on her after she’s released.”
“If I forgive Roselle, my Greg would have suffered in vain! Furthermore, it’s not the first time you guys have done something like this. The last time we let you off was due to the remaining tatters of our friendship, but if you ever think it would be the same as last time, don’t hold your breath!”
It didn’t occur to Stefania that Yana would still have the audacity to bring up their friendship, making her incandescent with fury.
Yana was so livid at Stefania’s words that they silenced her for a moment. Meanwhile, Declan found it even harder to say anything as he stood by her side. He never imagined that Roselle had actually tried to harm Gregory before the incident this time.
Stefania ignored how uneasy the Gingham couple appeared and gave them a full-blown dressing-down, “Leave this instant. If I see you lurking around my house again, don’t blame me for calling security!”
Yana and Declan could only leave since they were already at the end of their rope, sulking. After all, they still had their dignity, and if they were thrown out… Saying that they wouldn’t be able to live their lives in Southend would be an understatement.
