"Look at yourself. udia has done so much for you, and this is how your repay her?" Edward pointed a furious finger at Rosalie, his anger intensifying at her indifference andpleteck of remorse.
Rosaliezily lifted her gaze, casting him a slow, mocking look. A smirk tugged at her lips. "She and Helena have freeloaded off our family for decades. I never asked them to repay me. And now, Dad, you have the nerve to ask me to repay her?
Her smile remained infuriatingly "smug" as she turned to udia and Helena, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Helena already looks like she''s on death''s door. You want me to repay her? Aren''t you afraid she won''t live long enough to enjoy it?"
"Rosalie." Edward''s face darkened with rage. Her mocking words were thest straw to him. His hand shot up. poised to strike her across the face.
Just then, a deep, authoritative voice rang out from the doorway. "What''s going on here?"
It wasn''t loud, yet it carried enough weight to freeze Edward mid-motion.
All eyes turned toward the entrance. A tall figure, d in a te-gray suit, stepped inside, exuding a quiet yet unmistakable dominance.
Julian strolled in, being led in by a maid, his posture rxed, but there was an invisible force in the air that made people instinctively straighten their backs.
Even Edward, the head of Talley Group and Julian''s father-inw, found himself unable to maintain his usualmanding presence in front of this younger man. Forcing down his fury, Edward let out a forced chuckle and stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Julian, what brings you here?"
Julian ignored the question, his long strides carrying him into the room. His gaze quietlynded on Rosalie, who remainedzily draped across the couch, utterly unbothered by the chaos around her. His brows furrowed ever so slightly.
Julian thought, "Two days apart, and she already feels like a stranger to me.
He had heard every single word of that biting remark just now, and it left him momentarily taken aback.
Julian had never paid much attention to the Graham family''s inner workings. He only knew that Edward''s current wife was Rosalie''s stepmother-a woman who had brought along a daughter from her previous marriage, Helena, andter had a son with Edward.
