Breaking Free From Mr. Ceo novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 

Matteo was taken aback by Julian’s words, recalling how years ago, after Roseanne’s father, Theo, lost the battle over the family fortune to the second branch, Roseanne had asked Julian for help. When Julian refused, she proposed a breakup, which he accepted without hesitation. 

It seemed that Julian had never been particularly fond of or attached to Roseanne. The notion of her being a stand–in was merely a guess among their group, never confirmed by Julian himself. 

But Matteo hadn’t anticipated that Julian would be so unsparing toward Roseanne, casually uttering words that were so hurtful. 

Not just Matteo, but Roseanne herself was shocked by Julian’s public humiliation. 

He had left her alone in the cold earlier, accused her of slandering Rosalie in front of Kaleb, and now he was making it clear that he didn’t welcome her at all. 

‘Does he hate me so much?‘ Roseanne wondered. 

With tears welling up in her eyes, Roseanne looked at Julian and asked in a hoarse voice, “Julian, are you still upset with me for breaking up with you back then?” 

She opened her mouth to explain further, “At that time, I was just acting on impulse. It wasn’t really what I meant. I just wanted to…” 

She wanted to say she did so to test how sincere he was about her.
