Phyllis, fired up with rage, let loose and said some really mean stuff.


    Edward was so mad his head hurt. He''d just settled one mess, but his mom stirred it up again.


    Rosalie nced at Phyllis pissed off face with a smirk.


    "My dad used my money for Helena''s university permit. Ain''t I supposed to be proud? I helped her get in. like a hero. She''s grateful, right? Why''s Helena ungrateful and trash-talking me?" said Rosalie,


    This statement not only tarnished the Graham family''s rep, making them look like they were stepping all over people but also used Helena of being ungrateful for Rosalie''s favor.


    Helena was shaking with rage, She gripped the sofa tightly, ring at Rosalie''s contemptuous face. It took all her strength to stay calm and not rip Roule


    "Rosalie, I''m not trying to degrade you," Helena said softly, her eyes welling up with tears that suggested she was totally misunderstood.


    Meanwhile, Helena also harbored resentment towards Phyllis, who she considered troublesome. Earlier, Helena had remained silent and stayed out of the way, but Phyllisparison between her and Rosalie had reignited Rosalie''s hostility towards Helena


    Helena couldn''t help but wonder if Phyllis was really proud of her, or if she was deliberately trying to drag her back into the spotlight for Rosalie to degrade her again.


    "Really! From the way Grandma spoke, I thought she was alwaysparing me to you when I wasn''t with you guys," said Rosalie


    "No... That''s not t


    not true," said Helena.


    Even though Helena didn''t want to, she kept forcing a smile. Her face was so tight from smiling that she felt worn out. Every sh with Rosalie seemed to make her heart condition ir up.


    Rosalie said, "Fine. I''m an excellent woman and don''t mindparisons. But I hate beingpared to losers."


    Speechlessly, Helena pondered, ''Go to hell, bitch!''


    She sneered at Rosalie''sments of being excellent in her heart as Rosalie was just a loser who was able to matricte at all.


    Helena thought Rosalie must have thrown her sense of shame into the wind when chasing Julian, which was why she was spouting such shameless talk now.


    Edward, however, heard Rosalie obscurely use him of using her cash to support other women and kids, even his mom. It reminded him of the days he was living under Be''s thumb, dependent and useless.


    He red at Rosalie with pure hate and malice. At that moment, he wanted to strangle his own daughter.


    He thought he hid his herce gaze well, but Rosalie had already felt his intense luate.


    Rosalie couldn''t help but chuckle bitterly. She realized that her own dad, the man she''d always loved, had wanted to kill her over some words.


    Now, she thought sarcastically that she might really need to thank the Graham family for keeping her alive.


    "Rosalie, why bash Helena like that? She has had a weak heart forever, Getting into Hawthorne was a big deal for her. You''re healthy and couldn''t even get in. How dare you mock her? Compared to her, you''re the loser, Riley snapped.


    Ever since Rosalie beat him up, Riley had hated her, though, he still pretended to respect her.


    At this very point, hearing Rosalie insult Helena again, he couldn''t take it anymore.
