Cynthia’s heart skipped a beat, and a hint of nervousness flickered in her eyes.

After scrolling to Theodore’s contact listing in her phone, Rosalie’s finger hovered over the screenas she said, “If I’m not mistaken, he must have told you to not tell anyone about his car accident,

including me.”

As soon as Rosalie pressed the call button, Cynthia’s face turned pale. She quickly reached out,snatching the phone away and ending. the call before it connected, causing the phone screen toreturn to the home page.

“Why are you so anxious, Ms. Zeller? Weren’t you so confident?” asked Rosalie, taking her phoneback.

“Theo is probably busy right now. Let’s not bother him with this and add to his worries,” repliedCynthia in a shaky voice, clearly having.

made up an excuse.

Rosalie had guessed right – Theodore had indeed asked Cynthia to not tell anyone about hisaccident. After all, he had also told his mother the same thing.

Rosalie smirked. “Ms. Zeller, I’m afraid you’re the one adding to his worries, not me. Are you havingfun playing these little tricks behind.

his back?”

“Who’s playing tricks?” Cynthia clenched her fist, outraged. “Rosalie, what do you mean?”

“Don’t get too angry. You only have one lung, and your heart isn’t in great condition either. If you gettoo angry and something happens to you, it won’t be good for me,” Rosalie said sarcastically.

“You..!”

Cynthia was furious. She had always thought Rosalie was just a dumb woman, and hadn’t expectedher to be so sharp–tongued.

“Rosalie, have you looked in the mirror? If it weren’t for your parents. becoming heroes out ofnowhere, you’d probably be screwing bolts in a factory. Do you even deserve to sit next to me?”

“They didn’t become heroes out of nowhere. They saved a lot of people!”

Cynthia had touched a nerve. Bringing up her parents was the last straw for Rosalie.

“That’s because they were trapped inside and couldn’t get out. If they could have escaped, do youthink they would still have saved those people? They were just two low–level workers. What couldthey have done?”

Splash!

Rosalie had picked up the glass of water in front of her and thrown its contents at Cynthia’s face.

“Ahhh! Are you crazy? How dare you do this to me! Who do you think. you are?” Cynthiascreamed.

“So what if I treat you like this? Cynthia, what makes you so great? Why am I not worthy of sittingnext to you? Do you really think you’re. so noble? You’re just pretentious and arrogant!“” Rosalieretorted.

Cynthia trembled with anger. “I… I’ll tell Theo. I’ll tell him, and you’ll be done for!”

“That’s fine. Go ahead and tell him. Hurry up, record your pitiful look and show it to him. Saywhatever you want! I’m warning you, don’t let me hear you talk about my parents again, and stoppretending to be

noble. You’re just a lump of mud wrapped in gold foil. You’re putting. on an act and deceiving thosewho don’t know any better!” Rosalie snapped back.

Rosalie wasn’t someone who never got angry, nor was she a

pushover. It was just that most of the time, she didn’t want to escalate things too much and causethe situation to get messy. So, she usually tried to downplay big issues and resolve small ones, butthat didn’t mean she didn’t have boundaries. Once the line was

crossed, she wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.

Momentarily silenced by Rosalie’s scolding, Cynthia didn’t speak for a while.

Finally gathering her courage, Cynthia retorted, “Theo loves me! What about you, Rosalie? Whathave you gained? You can’t win his heart, and soon, you won’t be his wife anymore. You havenothing. You’re just a pitiful creature, abandoned by him! So what if you’ve known each other for tenyears? It doesn’t compare to my five years with him.
