Breaking Free From My Ex (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223

Wiped out, Edward waved Riley off and told everyone to head back inside. He’d have a little chat with Rosalie one–on–one, smonth things over with the rebellious kid.

Though Phyllis and the others were hesitant to do so, they were spooked by Rosalie’s attitude. Edward gave them the eye, so they had to suck it up and leave the living room, holding their tongues.

Every time. they comforted themselves with the thought that once Edward took over Talley Group, they’d really lay it on thick with Rosalie

Rosalie had lost her grandpa and mom, her uncle’s a vegetable in a coma, and Julian, the only one able to support her, also divorced her, Without Talley Group, she was nothing. They could squash her like a bug.

In fact, such reassurance was indeed helpful. The Graham family indeed felt much more at ease.

Edward reached out and pinched his tired brow. Facing Rosalie, he sighed and said, “Alright, everyone you don’t like has left. Can you calm down and have a good chat with me now?”

Rosalie gave him a glance and a weak smile, thinking. “But the person I hate most is still pestering me now.

But since her plan wasn’t ready yet, she didn’t show Edward the door. Instead, she played the spoiled brat card, sniffed, and settled onto the couch.

She pressed her lips and muttered. I didn’t mean to hurt them. But they all gang up

up on me, a helpless. girl with nobody in my corner”

In silence, Edward severely doubted her statement after witnessing how Rosalie beat Claudia and

and Riley

1. up.

In his view, this so–called helpless girl simply had no conscience at all.

Edward

gave Rosalie a puzzled look and said. “Alright, alright, From now on, I’ll warn them not to mess up with you?

“Dad, I love you so much. I know you’re always on my side,” said Rosalie.

Her mood flipped like a switch, from gloomy to cheerful. Her face lit up with smiles, but if Edward looked closer, he’d see it was just a fake grin, devoid of real emotion.

But at that moment, his mind was preoccupied with Rosalie’s shares, and he wasn’t paying attention to her emotional ups and downs.

He patted Rosalie’s head and said with a smirk, “You’re my golden girl. I’ll take care of you, don’t worry.”

Rosalie smiled at Edward’s fake show, but inside, she felt completely numb.

Even back then, when Rosalie asked Eden to look into Edward, she knew betrayal and Bella’s reaction was coming. But seeing the results still broke her heart.
