"Yes, you\'re right. I covet him, but there\'s something I need to clarify. I still love Leo, and my feelings for him have not changed," Rosy replied with unwavering determination.

Irish couldn\'t help but find amusement in Rosy\'s response. "So, Rosy, you\'re saying that you love both Joseph and Leo? That sounds quite absurd," Irish remarked with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"You are not me. How can you claim to understand my emotions?" Rosy countered, refuting Irish\'s remark.

"Indeed, it is true that no one can fully comprehend another person\'s grievances. However, that does not justify ruining other people\'s lives due to one\'s own grievances," Irish stated firmly, maintaining eye contact with Rosy. After a brief pause, she continued, "Let\'s cut to the chase. If we continue this conversation while eating, I\'m afraid I\'ll lose my appetite," Irish added, emphasizing her desire for a more direct and focused discussion.

Rosy cleared her throat and spoke, "Don\'t you understand my intentions? People often say you are a perceptive woman."

"You took the initiative to invite me here, and it\'s clear that you have feelings for my husband. So, based on your curious nature, I can only assume that you want me to leave Joseph because you believe that only you can help him in this critical moment," Irish responded calmly, though her eyes conveyed a hint of harshness.

Rosy pondered for a moment before responding, "You\'re right, but there is something I need to clarify."

"Alright, I\'m all ears," Irish replied, raising an eyebrow in anticipation.

Rosy took a sip of water before continuing, "It\'s not that I can help him alone, but rather that we can help each other. I do have feelings for Leo, but I also understand that it\'s impossible for him to work for my father. I recognize that the same condition applies to Joseph. However, the circumstances have changed now that Joseph has left the Runestone Group, and I believe it presents a good opportunity for him. My father values both Joseph and Leo\'s abilities, but Leo has his own company. My father sees potential in Joseph and hopes to have his assistance," Rosy explained, clearing her throat as she finished speaking.

Irish continued to listen to Rosy, maintaining an expressionless demeanor.

After a brief pause, Rosy added, "You might view me as snobbish, but I have no other choice considering my upbringing. I cannot live the life of an ordinary girl. They can marry for love, have children, and lead a simple life, but that is not an option for me. I have to marry someone with a similar social status as my family, and our marriage must be based on mutual interests. In other words, they don\'t care about whom I marry as long as he can bring profit to my family."

Irish leaned forward and took a sip of her water.

The dishes arrived shortly after, but neither of them started eating.

"If you\'re going to tell me about your love troubles, I\'m sorry, but I\'m not interested. Your worries and problems are solely due to your wealth. Compared to those who are struggling to make ends meet, your issues are hardly worth mentioning," Irish replied sarcastically.

Rosy bit her lip, locking eyes with Irish. "Well, let\'s talk about Joseph," she said.

Irish nodded, signaling for her to continue.

"My father hopes that Joseph can join his company, creating a mutually beneficial situation. To be honest, I believe I am well-suited for him since I am younger than you. He needs a young woman," Rosy continued.

"Ah? Are you planning to write me a check and ask me to leave him?" Irish retorted with a sneer.

"If you need money, I can do that," Rosy responded after a moment of contemplation.

A smile spread across Irish\'s face as she continued, "I\'m curious, how much are you willing to offer me? How much do you think he is worth?"

"I\'m being serious," Rosy hastily clarified.

"I\'m not joking either. Tell me, how much are you willing to pay?" Irish replied calmly.

Taken aback, Rosy stared at Irish with widened eyes and asked, "How much do you want?"

After a moment of thought, Irish replied, "Ten billion."

"No problem," Rosy responded immediately, visibly relieved.

Irish couldn\'t help but notice the change in Rosy\'s expression and found it rather absurd. "It seems that he is worth more than that, considering how readily you agreed. Alright, I\'ve changed my mind. I want fifty billion."

"Okay, as you wish," Rosy replied once again.

"What about a hundred billion?" Irish continued.

"Okay," Rosy replied without any wavering in her mood.

"Wow, I never knew that Joseph was worth so much money. What if I ask for even more?" Irish remarked with a touch of sarcasm.

Rosy leaned forward and spoke earnestly, "I am willing to pay you whatever amount you ask for because all I need is Joseph\'s assistance. My father has ambitions in the diamond mining industry, and Joseph possesses the talent and expertise in that field. With Joseph\'s help, my father\'s endeavors would soar to new heights. As for myself, I am set to inherit my family\'s assets sooner or later, and having a husband like Joseph would be advantageous for me as well."

Irish smiled and posed a question, "And what about Leo?"

Rosy\'s expression turned melancholic, and it was evident that she held feelings for Leo.

"It\'s impossible for me to be with him," Rosy sighed.

"You truly are a devoted daughter, but you are also undeniably snobbish," Irish remarked, her words carrying a meaningful undertone.

"You might be correct in thinking that I would act similarly in your shoes," Rosy retorted, glaring at Irish.

"Perhaps you\'re right, but I am not you. I understand the significance of genuine love for a woman. You don\'t believe in it, which is why you will be abandoned. You complicate love and even seek to profit from it, ultimately destined to lose happiness in your pursuit. I may not fully comprehend your perspective, but I know myself well and what I truly desire," Irish replied.
