Lady Thompson was serious, not joking in the slightest.
At her words, Rosalind Rohr squinted.
In her life, she may not have married a husband she could take pride in, but she had a daughter who made her proud.
Depending on her husband, she could end up dealing with infidelity at any given day.
But relying on her daughter was different.
Because her daughter is, at any time, the person connected to her own bloodline.
Her husband could betray her.
But her daughter wouldn't.
Hearing now from Lady Thompson herself, promising to hand over the Thompson Clan to Vicki's administration, Rosalind Rohr wished everyone could know of this news.
Even though she felt excited, Rosalind Rohr didn't show it. Instead, she said, "Mother, you mustn't say such things. Vicki's young and can't bear such heavy responsibility, particularly because there are two older cousins before her. She's just a girl; it's not her turn to hold power in the family."
