?


    What the heck?!


    As soon as Hertha walked through the door:


    "Sadie fetch me an ice pack!"


    Beverley: "An ice pack? In this freezing weather..."


    "Mom, do you have any idea? I got punched!"


    "What?!" Beverley was rmed. "Who hit you?! Who dared to hit you?!"


    Hertha pouted: "Roseanne."


    "She''s got some nerve! Daring toy a hand on someone?!"


    "All I did was say a few things to her, and she just came up and pped me...sob...right in front of everyone... Look, my face is all swollen!" Beverley immediately touched her face with sympathy.


    "Ouch! That hurts-"


    "What on earth is Roseanne thinking?! Where''s my phone?! I need my phone!"


    She turned around to search for her phone: "Just wait... I''m gonna give her a piece of my mind..."


    At that moment, the housekeeper stepped forward: "Madam, your phone is right here."


    Beverley snatched it, dialed Roseanne''s number, and called-


    "You little wretch! How dare you hit "


    Oops!


    "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavable..."


    That''s when Beverley remembered, she had been blocked by Roseanne long ago.


    She couldn''t swallow this insult.


    She called out to the housekeeper: "Give me your phone."


    "...Sure."


    With a different phone, Beverley called again, and this time it went through.


    The other end: "Hello?"


    It was indeed Roseanne''s voice.


    She sneered, "Roseanne, you shameless little wretch! How dare you hit my daughter-Hello? Hello?! Roseanne, you dare hang up on me?!" Beverley was fuming.


    She couldn''t believe it, so she tried calling again, only to hear-


    "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavable..."


    Blocked again!


    "She dares?! She actually dares?!"


    Hertha rolled her eyes: "Well, she''s not my brother''s girlfriend anymore, nor does she want to marry into our family. What''s there to be afraid of?"


    Beverley was stunned.


    UMS


    She realized that Roseanne, with nothing left to desire from them, was like a horse breaking free from its reins, galloping away, impossible to hold back.


    "Mom, maybe we should just leave her alone. She''s..." Hertha paused before continuing, "pretty fierce now."


    "Tch-what is she? I''m not scared of her!"This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Beverley, out of anger, threw the phone down.


    The housekeeper: "!"


    Sadie, arriving with the ice pack: "?" May the Lord have mercy!


    On the other side, Mamie, seeing her hang up after just two seconds and even block the number, couldn''t help but be curious: "Roseanne,


    swno was


    that?"


    Roseanne: "A crazy woman."


    "...Oh."


    Sounded pretty crazy.


    Calling someone a wretch right off the bat, and so loudly, she could hear it from afar.


    Scales suddenly spoke up: "Now


    that the oldb ispletely unusable, and the new one won''t be ready for at least a month or two, what do we do in the meantime?"


    UMS


    Indeed, this was the biggest issue the trio was facing!


    The progress of their experiments couldn''t be dyed, so... they needed to find ab to use in the meantime. Roseanne: "Let me think about it."


    ...


    In the evening, returning to her apartment building, Roseanne was about to use her key.


    Suddenly, the door opposite opened-


    Owen Reynolds: "Roseanne."


    The man''s eyes were smiling, his presence in the cold winter felt like a warm spring breeze.


    Roseanne couldn''t help but smile back: “Professor, didn''t go to theb today?"


    "Hmm, I was waiting for you."


    Roseanne paused, a bit surprised: "...What?"
