It was also her home with Stephen. If they sold it, she wouldn't have a home anymore, and Rosa didn't want to move into a rental.
"Yes, this is the only solution now. Sell the apartment to make up the five million! Don't worry. Once the company starts making profits, we'll buy it back," Stephen said anxiously, worried Rosa might refuse. He was truly desperate now-he had to come up with five million. What happened to Rosa after that wasn't his concern. He just couldn't afford to let those people destroy him.
Rosa bit her lip and shook her head. "No, let me think about it."
"We don't have time to hesitate. They're waiting for our response, but they'll only hold off until tonight," Stephen pressed.
Rosa got up and walked toward the bathroom. "Give me a moment to calm down."
As soon as Rosa stepped into the bathroom, a dark expression crossed Stephen's face.
If he had known Rosa was this poor, he would have devoted himself to Simona instead. If he had connected with her family, he might have climbed into a higher social circle.
Rosa emerged from the bathroom ten minutes later.
She looked at Stephen with an expression full of love and trust, then made a decision she would regret for the rest of her life.
"Alright, let's sell the apartment. Like you said, we're working hard to build a business, and we'll face all sorts of challenges. I can't hold us back, and I believe our company will only get better in the future." Hearing this, Stephen let out a sigh of relief. It was a success!

Skylar arrived at the restaurant first and ordered ahead of time. She knew Joe's preferences well and chose items they both liked.
Just as she finished ordering, her phone rang.
Thinking it was Joe, she almost

answered without looking. But noticing it was an unfamiliar number, she hesitated briefly before picking up.
"Skylar, it's me-Rosa! I didn't know who else to call. You're the only persond could think of. I know you're acquainted with Stephen, so you must know where he is, right?"
It was Rosa on the other end of the line, and her voice sounded frantic.
Just as Skylar was about to respond, the door to the private booth opened and Joe walked in.
She smiled at Joe and then replied to Rosa, "I've only heard some things about Stephen. I don't know him personally."
