Roseanne steaed, her words dripping with disdain. "I haven''t been back to the country in years, but is this how all the women there are- like you!"


    -low-ss


    Rosalie''s patienor was wearing thin. In her past life, Roseanne had made a point of showing off in front of her, trying to y up her presence because Rosalie was so fixated on Julian


    In the end, it was that very obsession that made Rosalie lose ground, and she ended up doing some pretty pathetic things.


    Looking back now, it wasn''t just Julian who might''ve wished she were dead- sometimes, Rosalie wished her past self could just disappear too


    She shook off those thoughts, focusing on the song look on Roseanne''s face.


    With a smile, Rosalie replied. "Tm not sure if all women in our country are as say maybe we should send fewer students overseas


    y are as low-ss as


    as me, but if a trip abroad can turn someone into you, I''d


    Roseanne''s face turned grim. She wasn''t so clueless as to miss the sarcasm in Rosalie''s words. "You


    Her hand shot up, clearly aiming for a p. But Rosalie was faster. Before the p couldnd, Rosalie grabbed Roseanne''s wrist and pped her back in one swift motion.


    The sharp smack echoed through the street, drawing the attention of nearby passersby.


    Roseanne, stunned and holding her burning cheek, couldn''t believe what had just happened. She never expected a mere substitute to have the guts


    to hit her


    "You hit me?" Roseanne seethed, her face alternating between pale and red as she red at Rosalie. Maybe still in shock from the p, she didn''t make another move to fight back.


    Rosalie casually adjusted her cor and gave Roseanne an uninterested nce. "What''s the matter! Are you a queen or a princess! Should I be terrified toy a hand on you?"


    She let out a mockingugh. Her words wereced with so much disdain that it almost felt like she pped Roseanne again without lifting a finger. Staring at Roseanne''s angry face, Rosalie retorted, "Thest person who daredy a hand on me ended up sleeping on the streets. You should be d your p didn''tnd on my face


    Her eyes shed a cold glint, and her slurp gaze was enough to make Roseanne feel like she was under attack


    After giving Roseanne a final warning, Rosalie turned to leave, determined to have no further interactions with her.


    But just as


    as she was about to get back into her car, she saw a ck Bendey slowly pull up behind her.


    Two figures then got out, and both Rosalie and Roseanne''s expressions changed instantly.


    Rosalie thought, Juliant of all ces to run into him, this is just my luck


    Her brow furrowed, clearly irritated by his presence.


    At the same ti


    time, Roseanne''s voice rang out, full of excitement. "Oh,


    1. h. Julian


    Her eyes were practically glued to him, a look of undisguised joy liing up her face.


    As Julian walked past Rosalie, his eyes licked over her face for a split second, catching the clear disdain she didn''t even bother to hide.


    His expression immediately turned stormy. His gaze lingered on Rosalie for a second before moving past her, heading straight for Roseanne.


    Right behind Julian was Kalebs. Seeing that Julian headed toward Hoseaune without a second nce at Rosalie, Kaleb widened his eyes for just a moment. His gaze instinctively drifted towards Rosalie, though he quickly looked away.
