Seeing how eager Rosalie was to clarify herself, it seemed she really had nothing to do with Sebastian.
Sydney was an objective and fair person, and she wasn't someone who would side with family over reason. But Theodore was her son, so she was somewhat biased toward him. "So that's how it is." Geoffrey nodded. "I understand. Now, I can rest assured about Sebastian getting married." "What?" Rosalie asked in confusion. "Sebastian's getting married?" Geoffrey said, "Yes. He's not young anymore. It's tfor him to settle down and start a family. I've already chosen a wife for him." Rosalie frowned. "Who is she?" "A friend's daughter, whom I watched grow up. I like her a lot, and most importantly, her father and I have a good relationship and sbusiness dealings." Hearing Geoffrey's explanation, Rosalie understood everything completely. This was an undisguised business alliance.

"He's the eldest son of the Carter family. This is his responsibility, so whether he agrees or not doesn't matter." "Mr. Carter, people should have the right to choose who to marry. After all, this isn't the past. Times are changing, so I think..." "Rosalie," Geoffrey interrupted her, "I understand your point, but regardless of which era we're in, interests always cfirst. Of course..." He continued, "At first, I thought you and Sebastian were a couple. I never planned to break you up. I think you're very smart, so if you stay by his side, you can be of significant help to him. But since you said you're not dating him, I definitely need to find him a wife. If left to him, he probably wouldn't want to settle down even by the the's forty." Geoffrey's words sounded reasonable on the surface. Upon deeper thought, however, he was still the patriarch who dictated everything in the family-just like in ancient times.
Even if his son didn't have a girlfriend, he shouldn't arrange a marriage like this.
Rosalie wanted to say more, but Sydney said leisurely, "Rose, you're not his girlfriend. You shouldn't meddle in his marriage. I'm sure Chairman Carter will handle himself." Sydney was hinting at Rosalie to stop minding other people's business.
Rosalie wanted to say more, but hearing Sydney, she swallowed her words. It wasn't because she was obedient, but because she knew that speaking up now would be useless. Geoffrey was a very dictatorial person; how he treated Sebastian at hlast twas evident.
Rosalie was very worried about Sebastian. He had a father who even interfered in his marriage. She felt that Sebastian wasn't someone who would willingly accept an arranged marriage and a fate like that if he clashed with his father, it would lead to another chaotic situation.

Later, Sydney and Geoffrey discussed seconomic issues, and Rosalie listened in. Just from these two bigwigs' conversation, she learned quite a bit.
After lunch ended, Sydney went to the bathroom. Only Geoffrey and Rosalie remained.
Rosalie also wanted to find an excuse to go to the bathroom but before she could speak, Geoffrey spoke first. "Rosalie, I'm very happy to have met your mother-in-law today. Thank you." Rosalie forced a smile on her face. "You're welcome, sir."
