Mr. Law's Official Announcement: He is a Wife-Doting Fanatic!

As soon as the piano music of the auction began, no matter how much Rosalind White wanted to stay, Fiona Vaughn would not allow her to waste any more time here.

After all, she still had to go and make an impression on Mr. Adams!

”Rosalind, don’t sulk here. Mr. Law is probably upset with you right now. Instead of expressing your longing with words, why not see if there’s something at the auction that might capture his heart?”

Fiona Vaughn gently took Rosalind White’s hand, her delicate face filled with sympathy and understanding for her.

Tears welled up in Rosalind White’s eyes. Every time she thought of the red marks on Cecilia Vaughn’s neck, she felt unjustly treated. Even though Cecilia and Adrian Law were married, because of the fake marriage agreement she once discovered between them, she still harbored a fantasy in her heart.

Adrian Law was only with Cecilia Vaughn to maintain an image of deep devotion and loyalty. They hadn’t done anything together, and having children was out of the question.

But the scene she happened upon today shattered the fragile fantasy in Rosalind White’s heart.

...

”Adrian, would he really be willing to accept the gifts I buy? Actually, in the past... I’ve sent...”

Rosalind White, lost in thought, clung to Fiona Vaughn’s arm, remembering when she lived at The Law Residence and Adrian hadn’t yet moved to Starfall Bay to live alone. At that time, he was still a high school sophomore, already nearly six feet tall, and with a figure as handsome as a deity, causing many hearts at the prestigious school to flutter. She naturally was no exception, and due to their closeness, Rosalind had secretly slipped small tokens into Adrian’s living quarters.

Things like origami cranes expressing her love, T-shirts with famous basketball players’ autographs, and the latest sneakers.

Adrian Law always appeared indifferent to everyone. In high school, many girls confessed their feelings to him.

But no one ever succeeded.

Yet during that high school period, because she had once saved Adrian’s life and because of the fortune-telling from the master at Sage’s Mercy Temple, the Law Family highly regarded her and always pushed her toward Adrian. She even sat next to him for three years.

Even though Adrian Law ignored other girls, he never objected to her being his deskmate.

At that time, there was a small, misplaced thought in Rosalind White’s mind. Perhaps due to this slight difference and the destiny’s prophecy, she... still had a chance to be by Adrian Law’s side?

However, reality painfully shattered this hope.

Those sneakers, those origami cranes, even those T-shirts signed by basketball stars most admired by boys, Adrian Law only coldly observed her gifting them.

Rosalind White thought that even if he never expressed gratitude, he still carried a sense of obligation in his heart.

But many years later, she discovered all the things she had sent in a dusty box in the attic of the Law Family residence.

The T-shirts had already decayed, their mottled signatures resembling dried tears.

The heartache at that moment could only make Rosalind White comfort herself that at the very least, she was the woman who had the closest contact with Adrian Law in this world, the only one who could openly live in his home.

But now, reflecting upon it, the overlapping past pain with the present almost suffocated Rosalind White.

”Fiona... Do you think Adrian would really accept my gift?”

Rosalind White lowered her eyes dazedly, recalling the possessions she had abandoned, as if she had glimpsed the fate of her giving.

”Of course, he will!”

Fiona Vaughn was more clear-headed than Rosalind White, but she needed the woman’s support, so she sweet-talked her with every reassuring word.

”Mr. Law is only temporarily angry. At the worst, you can avoid signing your name when the time comes. Simply write a small symbol on the gift box and have someone pretend it’s a gift from a business associate to Mr. Law. If he genuinely likes the item, he naturally won’t abandon it. After a few days, you can reveal the truth yourself. Any man would be moved by such a roundabout sincerity!”

Fiona Vaughn wasn’t speaking nonsense with this tactic.

It was, in fact, her method of thriving in the entertainment industry and keeping a firm hold on Tyson Law’s heart—gentle attentiveness.

Who wouldn’t want to be coaxed?

Don’t think that it’s only a privilege for girls and children; men need it just the same.

Most importantly, it’s about telling the other person that they are special and valued. Back when Tyson Law and she had cold wars, this tactic never failed.

But now, the trouble was too big. She wouldn’t dare to act rashly regarding the matter of infidelity; she’d have to wait for Tyson Law’s guard against her to weaken over time.

Fiona Vaughn’s elaborate reasoning made Rosalind White’s heart waver.

She thought for a bit, then finally parted her lips lightly.

”Thank you, I think I know what to give him now.”

Though Adrian Law had never told anyone his preferences, Rosalind White was sure that someone as careless as Cecilia could never know as well as she did that Adrian liked collecting various cufflinks and tie clips.

Such as those made from lapis lazuli, cat’s eye stone, or even diamonds.

While they were unremarkable items, their significance to Adrian Law was exceptional.

...

Rosalind White had made up her mind, while Cecilia Vaughn was unaware of the disdain aimed at her behind her back.

She hadn’t considered Adrian’s fondness for those things, yet in her heart, she’d bitterly mumbled about how come Adrian as a child was saved by someone like Rosalind, the epitome of sweetness?

If it had been a slightly more normal woman, she wouldn’t have leveraged a favor like this.

Even in ancient times, such a thing made no sense.

The more Cecilia pondered, the more it seemed flavorless. She reached out to nudge Adrian Law.

”Adrian, don’t you think your family indulges Rosalind too much? Isn’t it a case of small favors breeding betrayal?”

Adrian Law responded with a faint smile.

”Do you think the Law Family spoils her just because of divine fate? If my father could be explained this way, then what about my stepmother, who’s not easy to deceive?”

Cecilia Vaughn shivered immediately.

”You don’t mean to say... Mabel Keaton wants to use her to keep an eye on you, do you?”

That’s why Rosalind had been pampered into behaving like that, and calling her the legitimate young lady of the Law Family wouldn’t be out of place. Yet Rosalind understood she was but a castle in the air. If she wished to maintain her current luxury, she’d have to rely on someone.

With Mabel Keaton extending an olive branch, she naturally became the best choice.

These women, who attempt to control the inner household, are the most frightening.

Seeing Cecilia’s incredulous expression, Adrian Law’s lips curled into a sharp smile.

”Generations of prestigious families represent not only immense wealth but also danger.”
