Meanwhile, Sean was still


    tagging Julian in the group chat over and over again. Seeing this, Roseanne suddenly let out a smugugh


    Sophie had just walked into the living room. Noticing how delighted her daughter looked, she assumed Julian had finally texted back. She teased, "What''s got you so happy, honey?"


    Roseanne handed Sophia her phone with a gleeful smirk and replied, Julian''s dear wife is out there getting cozy with another man, and Sean just sted the photos in the group chat for Julian to see.


    The thought of Julian''s reaction to those photos made her almost feel bad for Rosalie.


    No one had ever dared p Julian''s pride in the dirt like this before. Even if he didn''t care for Rosalie, he sure as hell wasn''t the type to let his ex-wife be seen messing around with another man in public.


    Sophieughed, clearly enjoying the drama. "Perfect. Now that Julian''s seen those photos, Roulic can kiss any chance of a reconciliation goodbye." Roseanne, who had been in a foul mood all day, suddenly felt like the skies had cleared.


    She eagerly scrolled down, wanting to see how Julian reacted. But before she could find his reply, she saw something else-Sean and Emilia roasting her while hyping up Rosalie.


    Her smule instantly faded, and she thought, What the hell! Talking trash about me right in front of my face? Do they think I''m dead or something? Sean and Emilia must be blind. Theypare Rosalie with me? Oh, please!


    Roseanne''s hands trembled with rage. She wanted nothing more than to storm into the chat and rip those two a new one.


    But then she remembered-Julian was in the group. She couldn''t afford to lose herposure in his presence. She hadn''t seen him in three years. No way was she going to let him think she had turned into some unhinged woman.


    Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down and sent a message.


    Roseanne: [Hey, everyone. Long time no see. I''m back. Let''s catch up over dinner sometime.]


    The chat group, which had been buzzing just moments ago, suddenly went dead. Sean, in particr, froze. Wait, Roseanne? When the hell did she join this chat? Why didn''t anyone tell me?


    Panicked, he immediately DM''d Matteo


    Sean Dude, when did Roseanne join the chat? Why didn''t you warn me?]


    Matteo: Right when you were spamming those photos. Didn''t you see the notification?


    Sean scrolled up and found the system message announcing Roseanne had been added. But he had been too busy warning Julian to even notice.


    Now, facing someone he had just publicly trashed, Sean had no idea how to react. Though he wasn''t a fan of Roseanne, keeping silent after sending those romuments about her felt way too awkward.


    He was torn between whether he should say hi or not. In the end, he decided the best course of action was to y dead. Matter: Roseanne, wee back. You''ll always be one of our closest friends. Let us know if you ever need anything.] Matteo, being the only one with some social decency, finally responded.


    Hoseanne waited for a moment, expecting more responses. But aside from Matteo, the group remained eerily silent. And then, just to twist the knife, Emilia tagged Matteo


    Emilia: I Matteo if you wanna do rity work, that''s on you. Don''t drag us into it.]


    Roseanne''s face twisted with anger. Her expression turned sharp and dark. She hissed under her breath, "Bitch Emilia"
