Chapter 76

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 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 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 accident. 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 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 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. becoming 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 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 you think they would still have saved those people? They were just two low–level workers. What could they 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?” 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 escalate things too much and cause the situation to get messy. So, she usually tried to downplay 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’t compare to my five years with him.
