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 screen


    as she said, “If I’m not mistaken, he must have told you to not tell anyone about his car ident,


    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 to


    return to the home page.


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


    back.


    “Theo is probably busy right now. Let’s not bother him with this and add to his worries,” replied


    Cynthia in a shaky voice, clearly having.


    made up an excuse.


    Rosalie had guessed right – Theodore had indeed asked Cynthia to not tell anyone about his


    ident. 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 having


    fun ying these little tricks behind.


    his back?”


    “Who’s ying 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 get


    too 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 expected


    her to be so sharp–tongued.


    “Rosalie, have you looked in the mirror? If it weren’t for your parents. bing heroes out of


    nowhere, you’d probably be screwing bolts in a factory. Do you even deserve to sit next to me?”


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


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


    “That’s because they were trapped inside and couldn’t get out. If they could have escaped, do you


    think they would still have saved those people? They were just two low–level workers. What could


    they have done?”


    Ssh!


    Rosalie had picked up the ss 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?” Cynthia


    screamed.


    “So what if I treat you like this? Cynthia, what makes you so great? Why am I not worthy of sitting


    next to you? Do you really think you’re. so noble? You’re just pretentious and arrogant!“” Rosalie


    retorted.


    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. Say


    whatever you want! I’m warning you, don’t let me hear you talk about my parents again, and stop


    pretending to be


    noble. You’re just a lump of mud wrapped in gold foil. You’re putting. on an act and deceiving those


    who 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 escte things too much and cause


    the situation to get messy. So, she usually tried to downy big issues and resolve small ones, but


    that 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? What


    have you gained? You can’t win his heart, and soon, you won’t be his wife anymore. You have


    nothing. You’re just a pitiful creature, abandoned by him! So what if you’ve known each other for ten


    years? It doesn’tpare to my five years with him.
