As the visitors gradually left Rose Manor, only Bella and Rosalind remained in the vast flower gardens.

The surrounding light dimmed, yet Bella’s bare face retained a pure, bright allure, like a clear andradiant moon. This scene sparked a mix of envy and jealousy in Rosalind.

Setting aside all grievances, she must admit that Bella was an exceptional beauty, a diamond amongrhinestones. What woman wouldn’t feel jealous when such a stunning woman lived under the sameroof as her man for three years, even if it was all for show?

Rosalind gritted her teeth and approached Bella. She toyed with her long black hair, discarding herdelicate appearance in front of Justin. Instead, she revealed a triumphant smile, as if she were thevictor.

Rosalind asked, “So, you’ve found a new prospect so quickly? Your methods are truly

astonishing. But wouldn’t it have been better to do this sooner? No matter how you entangle Justin, hewon’t spare you another glance.”

Bella glanced at her as if dealing with a lunatic and scoffed, “Why would I want him to look at me? I’mnot a peacock in the park, and I don’t need to flaunt my feathers.”

Rosalind choked on her words for a moment, cursing inwardly. She decided to pull out her trump card.

“Now that we’ve bumped into each other, I might as well tell you the good news. Justin and I are aboutto get engaged. The engagement ceremony will be on the same day as my birthday celebration.”

“Is that so? Congratulations are in order, then… But I won’t be giving you a gift.” Bella spoke with a lazytone, showing little interest.

Seeing Bella’s complete indifference, Rosalind couldn’t help but feel infuriated. She felt offended andretorted, “Huh, even if you act tough, deep down, you must be furious and hateful. But what’s the use?”

“In the end, I got Justin, while you’ve become the laughingstock of the entire Savrow!”

“Ah, Rosalind, every time I see you, either you’re clamoring that you want Justin or flaunting yourrelationship with him. Is your life so dull and uninteresting? Other than a divorced man, do you haveanything else noteworthy?” Bella sighed in boredom, feeling that even talking to her lowered herstandards.

Bella pondered, “When dealing with such a self-righteous woman, it leaves you with a bad taste if youdon’t confront her”

Rosalind glared at Bella and shouted furiously, “What did you say?!”

Bella continued, “I can understand that you want to show off that you have climbed up the social ladderand married into a rich family, but you should replace a suitable confidant. What you regard as a treasure isgarbage that I don’t want to look at again. How mundane….”

Rosalind screamed, “Garbage?!”

Rosalind was so angry that her face alternated between red and white as she exclaimed, “Bella!

You’re just jealous! The more you curse now, the more it shows how much you care about me beingwith Justin! You’re calling Justin garbage just to vent your frustration. After all, you spent three years invain, and it was you who got kicked out by Justin!”

Bella’s eyes suddenly turned ice-cold. Her cold glare made Rosalind shiver secretly in her heart.

Bella replied, “Excuse me, but you need to know when to stop when things are going well. Justbecause I am giving you concessions does not mean you can use my kindness to blabber nonsense infront of me. Let me remind you for the last time: don’t use my tolerance as an excuse to push your luck.Otherwise, Ms. Ashley, your days ahead might not be so good.”

The name “Ashley” was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, shaking Rosalind’s soul. Her face turnedashen, like the bottom of a burnt pot. Her whole body felt a rush of blood. Her breath caught, and shestaggered back a tiny step in panic.

“What’s wrong? Why the sudden change in expression?” Seeing Rosalind turn pale, Bella asked with asmile. “Isn’t Ashley your name from studying abroad in Meridan? I’ve never seen someone react likethey’ve heard an exorcism spell just by hearing their name.”

“I don’t know who Ashley is… I’ve never heard that name. I don’t know what nonsense you’re talkingabout!” Rosalind’s breathing became more rapid as she attempted to distance herself. After all, theformer Ashley was a lustful, money-hungry woman, far from the pure and virtuous image she portrayedfor Justin now.

Bella squinted her dangerously beautiful, almond-shaped eyes. She approached Rosalind with herhands behind her back. Taking two steps closer, she leaned forward, revealing a prophetic and coldsmile.
