Chapter 364 The Real Rosalie
Iledy's words caused a change in Preston's expression, his demeanor became serious as he lowered his voice, "What's going on?"
Hedy wouldn't slander others. If she said that Rosalie was a fake, then Rosalie really was a fake.
And William was his friend, deeply in love with his wife, he could not stand by and do nothing.
Hedy glanced around at the guests, her dark eyes sparkling. "There are too many people here, let's talk back home."
"Hmm." Preston nodded.
The two left the party side by side.
Andrew watched them leave from a distance, then turned to the heiress in front of him with a polite smile, but his eyes were distant.

Inside the car.
Hedy told Preston about Gloria's identity and the fact that she was looking for the real Rosalie.
Preston's eyebrows furrowed, his thin lips pressed into a straight line: "The Williams family's assessment of those in power, and their wives, is very strict. How could there be a situation where Gloria pretends to be single?"
"The person who helped Gloria conceal her identity was an insider, the purpose of which is still unknown," Hedy lowered her eyelids.
"I will arrange for someone to find the real Rosalie immediately. You need to be careful recently, watch out for Gloria's ill intentions towards you." Preston looked at Hedy, a chill flickering in his deep eyes.
"I suspected that she was very likely the one who sent the assassin to kill your employer."
"I thought the same," Iledy finished, just as her phone rang.
The call was from Tan, who was holding the hospital's landline, sounding a bit
embarrassed:
"Xie, thank you for saving my mother, helping us with the hospital admission procedures, and leaving us so much money."
"You're welcome." Hedy said calmly.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
lan was silent for a moment over there, then raised his voice, "I, I won't take your money for nothing! When I grow up and can earn money, I will pay you back ten times! I mean what I say!"
"Oh?" Hedy raised her eyebrows, her mood slightly lifted by these words, "Then I'll wait."
During their conversation, it seemed that Ian's mother had woken up, coughing softly a couple of times.
"Mom!" Ian called out, then said to Hedy, "I'm going to get some water for mom first, bye."
Iedy hung up the phone, her lips curling up in a smile, "Ian is a very filial son."
"What was the name of his Summerian mother? It's not easy for her to raise a child alone in a foreign land. If she doesn't have a stable source of income, I'll arrange a job for her," Preston planned to help as much as he could.
Ile also quite admired Tan.
"Ilis mother's name was Caitlin," ITedy replied. "I saw this name on her French ID card when I was helping her with the hospital admission procedures."
She was an employee of a cleaning company, her salary was not much, barely enough to support her and lan, but this sudden serious illness disrupted the originally balanced income and expenditure.
Preston: "Let's first see how she recovers from the surgery, and consider her own wishes."
Hedy: "Him."

Hospital.
Jan tiptoed and struggled to pour a cup of warm water for his mother, Caitlin, and then handed it to her.
Caitlin took a sip to moisten her throat, a smile appearing on her pale, thin face: "My
Jan, you're becoming more and more like a gallant knight, even capable of taking care of your mother now."
"I am not like a knight, I am a knight!" Ian puffed out his chest, his tone proud.
"Yes, yes, do you still remember the letter I put on the wardrobe, and the man-to-man promise between us?" Catelyn gently rubbed her son's head, her tone gentle.
"Remember, you told me that only if you died one day, could I open that letter. Following the address in the letter, I could go to a place where I could be carefree for the rest of my life," Ian nodded, his expression not very pleased.
He never wanted to open this letter in his life, but he didn't understand, "Mom, if that place can make me carefree, why can't you go?"
"Because that place didn't welcome me, I, too, didn't like that place." Caitlin's expression was calm and indifferent. She slowly moved her body, which was a bit stiff from sleeping all day, but accidentally knocked her wallet to the ground.
The wallet was very old, having been used for many years. The edges of the leather were worn through, and a single drop would completely ruin it. IDs and a few small coins were scattered all over the ground.
"I'll pick them up for you." Ian crouched down to pick up the coins and ID.
Inside, there were a work permit, a driver's license, a food discount card, a points redemption card, and an ID card from France.
After picking these up, lan found another ID from USA under the French ID.
There was English printed on it that he didn't understand.
If he had understood, he would have known that the owner of the ID card was named
"Rosalie".
However, he recognized the photo next to the name. It was his mother, Catelyn, without makeup and not looking withered due to illness.
"What's this, Mom?" lan placed USA's ID card on top of all the other documents.
Caitlin's pupils slightly contracted, she pressed USA's ID card under the French one, and lied:
"It was a work badge from a previous job at another location, kept as a memento so it wasn't thrown away."
"So that's how it is, Mom. This is the money Ms. Ellis gave me. I didn't know where to put it, there are many thieves in the hospital," Ian said, taking out the cash he had
placed beside his pillow for ITedy.
"That mom will teach you a trick," Caitlin... no, it was Rosalie, her eyes sparkling a bit more as she instructed her own son:
"The most dangerous place was the safest place."
lan, being naturally intelligent, quickly understood the meaning of the sentence and
put the money back under the pillow.
Rosalie chuckled.
Actually, this money could have been put directly into the pocket, just need to pay
more attention.
She called Hedy, thanking her for her generous financial help, and promised that she would repay the money Hedy had given to her and her child once she recovered from her illness and resumed work.
It was just that medical treatment in France was expensive, and this amount of money was not small. She wanted to repay it in installments plus interest.
Hedy did not agree.
She said. "Your son lan has already promised me that once he grows up and earns
money, he will return this amount to me tenfold. You can rest assured and focus on
your recovery."
Rosalie was taken aback for a moment.
It was unclear whether it was the son's responsibility that moved them, or gratitude for
Hedy's kindness.

William Castle.
A piece of news startled everyone.
The fake "Rosalie" was actually pregnant Gloria.
William's crimson pupils were filled with confusion, "I don't remember us..."
Rosalie once made him swear not to touch her again.
Ile always remembered that sentence.
"Big brother, have you forgotten the night you drank too much?" William's younger
brother, Blake, was very surprised.
Gloria blushed. "That night, you were too strong, I...I couldn't push you away."
William was overjoyed, half-squatting next to Gloria, stroking her belly through her clothes, his eyes full of anticipation.
After touching for a while, William stood up, "Xiao Xiao, you rest well, I'm going to buy some mother and baby supplies, I'm leaving now!"
Ie was so happy that he felt like he was walking on clouds.
"Go ahead," Gloria said, her eyes curving.
After everyone had left, Blake quietly returned to the bedroom and touched Gloria's
stomach.
"Give birth to my son safely, the future of the William family will be his."
"Of course, but your brother is really stupid, doesn't he know that a truly drunk man
can't get an erection?" Gloria scoffed.
There was no such thing as losing control after drinking in this world. The so-called loss of control after drinking was just an excuse for lustful intentions. Black glanced at Gloria indifferently. "He's not stupid, he just loves Rosalie too
much."
