Chapter 139 You Disdain Me
She wanted to throw herself into his arms, but considering her current situation, she could only timidly
stand still.
âEdmond, I, I have something to tell you,â Rosalie bit her lip and looked at him with teary eyes.
Edmond had deep, mysterious eyes, with his eyebrows and eyes drooping.
âEdmond, I know you saw that news too. I was forced into it, that disgusting and greedy Hugh deceived
me into having a relationship with him. But my heart only belongs to you, Edmondâ¦â Rosalie wanted to
hold Edmondâs hand, but he instinctively took a step back.
Rosalieâs face stiffened, tears quickly welled up in her eyes, âI know, you despised me for being dirty.â
Looking at her face full of grievances, Edmondâs gaze was deep and his eyes were filled with unknown
meaning: âThe Darwin family has already agreed to your marriage with Hugh.â
On the day when Hughâs affair was exposed, he quickly investigated the Darwin family. Hugh showed
responsibility by promptly explaining the reasons to his family and convincing them.
âI came this time to ask if you would be willing to marry Hugh.â
If Rosalie was willing to marry Hugh, he would prepare a generous dowry for her and send her off as
her brother.
This can also be considered as a tribute to my late brother.
However, when Rosalie heard these words, she became extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan: âI
donât want to, Edmond. My heart only belongs to you, and the only person I want to marry is you.â
Edmond fell silent, thinking about Abelâs identity, his expression became a little subdued. âYou should
really think about it, Hugh is more suitable for you than me. I am often away from home and even if we
get married, we can only have a sibling-like relationship. It wouldnât be good for you.â
This means that even if two people are married, they will not have any relationship anymore. This is a
blatant rejection.
Rosalieâs face turned very embarrassed, with both cheeks turning bright red
Now is not the time to save face. If Edmond didnât marry her, then she would have to marry Hugh.
That man was simply not worthy of her!
Couldnât marry Edmond, wouldnât all her years of anticipation be in
vain?
âI didnât want to marry Hugh!â
The sound of Rosalieâs resistance echoed through the entire mansionâs hall, just as Hugh was coming
down the stairs.
I had a brief chat with Dempsey, and he had already made up his mind. Unexpectedly, he happened to
overhear Rosalie talking badly about
him.
âEdmond, you have no idea how twisted Hugh is. If I donât obey him, he goes to great lengths to
torment me. Despite his well-groomed appearance, he is actually filled with filth inside.â
Chapter 149
âIf I married him, it would be like a sheep entering a tigerâs mouth, Edmond. I donât want to marry him,
really donât!â
Rosalie sobbed and poured out her grievances, tears streaming down her face. The listeners couldnât
help but shed tears themselves, and those who heard her were deeply saddened,
Hugh heard these words, and even the thickest skin at this moment collapsed.
In the past, Rosalieâs sweet words turned out to be all fake,
And her accusations were so fake that they couldnât be any faker.
Although he had a good popularity with women, he never had any encounters with a woman in all
these years, except for Rosalie. Even with Pamela, it was mostly just a formality, and nothing really
happened between them.
The only woman related to him was Rosalie!
And now? She, for another man, actually went crazy and slandered him!
Hughâs full lips curled into a cold smile, while his clear eyes were filled with a mad hatred.
He stood on the stairs, coldly watching the couple below.
Edmond seemed to feel the deep gaze, and he glanced at him lightly, seeing him standing on the stairs
with a slight frown on his brow
Rosalie in front of me was still complaining, and even becoming more and more excessive.
Edmond interrupted her calmly, âIf you donât want to get married, you can discuss it with him, but I
cannot marry you.â
Seeing Rosalieâs suddenly changing face, Edmond suddenly chuckled softly.
For Tristen, he endured a lot from Rosalie in the past, but that doesnât mean he could always turn a
blind eye to her wrongdoings.
âI have already found a top-notch lawyer for you, Adron, but this is the last time I will help you. You will
have to handle the rest on your own.â
Claudiaâs matter was not yet settled, and the repeated troubles caused by Rosalie here made him even
more exhausted.
Perhaps knowing that he was behind her, Rosalieâs actions became more and more outrageous over
the past year.
Hugh checked and found that everything he did was for Rosalie. Rosalie marrying him was also
considered a good outcome.
If Rosalie remained obstinate, he was powerless to do anything.
Abel was the child of my brother. As long as Abel was well brought up, it would be a consolation to the
soul of Tristen in heaven.
Edmondâs words completely shattered Rosalie.
She knew that every move she made was being monitored by Dempsey. Edmondâs actions were
equivalent to directly telling Dempsey that she had been abandoned.
Remembering Edmondâs past kindness toward her, Rosalie covered her mouth and burst into tears.
At the moment Edmond turned around, Rosalie broke down and chased after him, tightly hugging him
from behind, âEdmond, I was wrong, I truly was wrong, please, please donât leave me, Iâm so
scaredâ¦â
Edmondâs eyes turned slightly red, he let out a sigh, pried open her fingers, and walked away quickly.
A gentle breeze blew, and Rosalieâs tears felt as cold as ice on her face.
Winter came, the air was dry and cold, but no matter how cold it was, it couldnât match the shattered
state of her heart.
Edmond gave up on her!
Her fingers clenched tightly into a fist, and her slightly long nails sank into her palm without her even
noticing.
This was her first time admitting her mistake, her first time pleading, but Edmond didnât give her a
chance at all.
After hearing Rosalieâs words, Hugh immediately turned around and went to find Dempsey.
âUncle,â Hughâs eyes turned icy as he thought of her blaming words, âif Rosalie really refuses to marry
me, please do not force her.â
Although he liked her and their family did not have the power and influence of the Clayton family, it did
not mean that she could blame him at will.
Dempsey was just about to ask for the reason when suddenly a scream came from outside.
âSomeone, come quick! Ms. Clayton has cut her wrist!â
