Chapter 1026 - Runes Decision (1/2)
They ate breakfast in silence. Duke and Duchess Fournier were busy thinking about how they could do damage control. Rose was thinking about how she had brought so much trouble to Rune.
She realized, Sarah would take that opportunity to embarrass Rune and made it as if the man was an impostor and pretended to be someone from the upper-class to be with Rose.
Rune was innocent and he didn't deserve to be treated that way, just because Sarah was having a grudge against Rose.
Uff, Rose was imagining all sorts of things she wanted to do to Sarah for causing this problem. She really wanted to pull Sarah's hair and drag her on the road until she screamed and begged for forgiveness.
Rose was not a violent woman. In fact, she was very cool and nonchalant. However, she had been poked too many times that she was losing patience.
Meanwhile, Rune was thinking hard about how he should handle the situation. He didn't mind being anyone, actually. He could be rich or poor, whatever Rose needed him to be.
He only needed to know how she would react if she knew he was not actually poor. Would she still accept him to be her fake boyfriend to teach Leon a lesson on humility?
Wouldn't it actually be better if Rose was dating a really wealthy man like Rune? Leon would see that Rose could get someone better than him.
In terms of wealth and power, even the Camilles and the Fourniers from Medion were nothing compared to the Schneiders whose wealth and power had been acc.u.mulated for centuries and only grew by the day.
So, if Rose was dating Rune Schneider, she was actually getting an upgrade. Yes, it was noble on Rose's side if she could take a simple and poor man to be her boyfriend and later husband.
She could also make her point to show Leon that wealth and power didn't matter to her.
However, it wouldn't do Rose any good if she kept having the poor man as her boyfriend. Rune remembered how Leon looked down on him yesterday when he came to the Fournier's mansion.
Leon could tell that Rose was still in love with him from her gesture. He had known her all her life anyway. So, it was hard to fool him.
Maybe he could even tell that Rose was intentionally dating Rune to show Leon that she still didn't care about someone's wealth and status.
Leon might not suspect that Rune and Rose's relationship was fake, but he could be thinking that Rose was using Rune while Rune was being clueless.
Leon might think Rose pretended to love Rune and tricked the man into a relationship and asked him to come to Moravia.
Hmm... the more Rune thought of it, the more he was convinced that it would be better if he came out to Rose as himself.
In addition to all the reasons mentioned above, if someone like Rune Schneider from the Schneider Group deemed Rose worthy to be his girlfriend, it should shut down the gossips that had been circulating in the public about Rose and Leon, right?

”Hello,” she spoke. ”What did she say?”
Everyone at the dining table turned their attention to Rose, trying to listen attentively to whatever words came out of her mouth.
Seeing their curiosity, Rose decided to put Leon on speaker.
”Good morning, Rose.” Leon's voice sounded tired. They could hear him sigh several times.
”Yes? I don't have all day. Tell me what she did!” Rose snapped. She was really angered by what happened this morning. From the sound of Leon's words, it looked like Anne actually had something to do with it.
”I talked to Anne, and she said she told Sarah about your boyfriend and they were joking about him,” Leon replied.
”They were joking about him? How??” Rose became more impatient.
Leon sighed.
”Sarah said she would play a joke on you by telling a reporter that you are dating Rune Schneider from the Schneider Group. They said it was a harmless joke.”
