Chapter 364
Chapter 364:
Even if Maia was married, it didn’t matter. He didn’t care about titles or vows. He only cared that her heart belonged to him. And if he couldn’t have that, if she dared give it to someone else, then he would rather see her completely destroyed!
Later that evening, Rosanna returned to the Morgan Villa. Settling onto the sofa, she lazily scrolled through the latest financial headlines on her phone, a faint smirk playing across her lips. The Ward family’s downfall was all but official now, and she found a twisted sense of satisfaction watching it unfold. This was karma, payback for the way Vince had humiliated her, ditching her in front of everyone at the engagement party just to chase after Maia.
Did Vince honestly think she would crumble without him? How laughable! A cold smirk tugged at Rosanna’s lips; marrying Vince had always been nothing more than a stepping stone into high society.
Now that the Ward family was crumbling, she saw no point in clinging to a ship destined to sink. Luckily, she had been smart enough to forge strong ties with Mariana, whose influence was far greater and far more stable. She had no intention of going down with Vince.
Lost in her moment of clarity, her phone buzzed unexpectedly. It was Mariana calling.
“Rosanna, the Cooper Group is hosting its annual private banquet tomorrow,” Mariana said warmly. “I’d love for you to attend. You won’t turn me down, will you p>
Rosanna’s heart skipped a beat. The Cooper Group’s private banquet? That was a dream invite, one even the Ward family had never managed to get into!
Without hesitation, she answered brightly, “Of course! It would be an honor to attend. Thank you so much, Mariana p>
As she spoke, Jarrod happened to be coming downstairs. Hearing the excitement in Rosanna’s voice, he caught a few key words and immediately froze. Cooper Group? Private banquet? Jarrod’s eyes widened in shock as realization hit him.
After ending the call, Rosanna sat, clutching her phone, still glowing with excitement.
The best stories are at gⱯlnσν𝒆𝓁s․𝒄𝗈𝗆
A voice broke through her daydream. Lifting her gaze, Rosanna found Jarrod standing nearby.
The moment Jarrod heard that Rosanna had been invited to the Cooper Group’s banquet, excitement sparked in his eyes.
“You’re serious? You’re really invited to the Cooper Group’s banquet?” he said, unable to hide his amazement. “That’s the most exclusive event in the entire country! Even the Ward family never got close. How in the world did you pull that off p>
Rosanna’s brows furrowed slightly. Why did Jarrod have to show up now? She suppressed her irritation and replied gently with a smile, “Not too long ago, Vince took me to a private party hosted by Mariana Cooper, the youngest daughter of the Cooper family’s head. She took a liking to me, and this time, Mariana invited me p>
Jarrod’s eyes grew even wider with amazement. Mariana wasn’t just anyone; she was adored by nearly everyone in Wront’s elite circle and rarely ever let outsiders get close. His sister really had a way of charming people!
Breaking into a broad grin, Jarrod said eagerly, “Rosanna, I never thought you’d have such strong ties to someone like Mariana. This is huge! Can you bring me along? I’d love to see how the real upper class lives, and who knows, maybe I can find a few investors for our Morgan family p>
He, too, had seen the financial news today. With the Ward family on the brink, the Morgan family needed a new path. But more than anything, Jarrod simply wanted a taste of high society life.
Rosanna’s smile faltered for a split second. The last thing she wanted was for her clueless brother to tag along and risk humiliating her.
Still… After a brief pause, Rosanna softened her tone and said, “I could bring you, but you have to promise me something first p>
Jarrod wasted no time, sitting down next to Rosanna with a burst of energy. “You name it! I swear, anything p>
