"Rosalie, what do you think you''re doing!" Phyllis asked cautiously, her words softened by Rosalie''s earlier warning


    Phyllis wanted to bring up Rosalie''s mother. Be, but knew better than to provoke the already vtile Rosalie. She was certain that if the mentioned Be Rosalie might just as well dismantle her bones.


    Rosalie raised an eyebrow and replied nonchntly, "Teaching him how to


    behave. Didn''t you get it? Need me to demonstrate again?"


    Phyllis was left speechless. Damn it! Bastard! The Talley family has really raised a fine piece of trouble, she wondered


    "No, that won''t be necessary. Edward interjected, his face stern, fearing that Rosalie might actually strike Riley again.


    "Can we all eat in peace now!" Rosalie asked.


    Despite their son being humiliated, Edward and the others had no choice but to swallow their pride.


    "Let''s eat. No more trouble," Edward said, his expression sour.


    As he nced up, he noticed Julian standing in the entrance, watching the scene unfold with interest.


    “Julian Edward''s face flickered with surprise and regret upon seeing Julian Clearly, he didn''t want Julian to witness the family being dominated by Rosalie


    But Julian''s presence suggested he had been there for a while.


    At the mention of Julian, Rosalie''s back stiffened for a moment. But she quicklyposed herself, not even sparing Julian a nce as she walked to the dining table and sat down alone.


    Julian couldn''t help but frown at Rosalie''s deliberate ignoring of him. Her coldness over the past few days had already said enough.


    "Sorry I''mte." Julian said, walking up to the table and looking at the untouched dishes.


    "Mind if I join you?" he asked, though his casual seating next to Rosalie made it clear he wasn''t really asking for permission.


    Feeling the tall figure take the seat next to her, Rosalie''s grip on her fork tightened slightly


    "Of course not" Edward quickly adjusted his expression and weed him warmly. “When I called you this afternoon, you said you were busy, I thought you wouldn''t make it".


    “I finished up and came right over, Julian replied casually, ncing at Rosalie next to him who was focused on her meal, showing no reaction to his arrival


    Meanwhile, Rosalie, though outwardly calm, felt a twinge of suspicion when she heard Edward''s words.


    Julian has been invited by Edward?'' she wondered.


    He had sounded so supportive over the phone, but now he had brought the very person responsible for his daughter''s unhappy marriage into their home. Rosalie wondered what he was up to.


    Rosalie''s brow furrowed slightly, but she didn''t ask.


    "Come, let''s eat. The food is getting cold, Edward said as if the incident with Riley had never happened.


    Riley, having been beaten and now seeing his seat taken by Julian, had no mood left to stay. He made an excuse to go upstairs. Edward didn''t insist on him staying, even worrying if Riley might have sustained any serious injuries from Rosalie.
