Rosewood, the elderly gentleman, stood on the stage and gently coughed before announcing loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you all understand how much I cherish my late-in-life daughter, Charlotte."
Indeed, his affection for Charlotte Rosewood was quite famous among their circle.
"I once thought that when Charlotte came of age, I would hand over the entire Rosewood Family's assets to her. However, I clearly overestimated the capabilities of this old body of mine, and I'm afraid it may not last that long," said Rosewood with full confidence, leaving the crowd somewhat baffled.
Although Rosewood's physical health could not be described as robust, he appeared to be in better shape than many younger men.
As a result, his words were met with disbelief, as he did not appear to be in such poor health.
