Chapter 178
Dad shot Rosalie a fierce glance, then cautiously looked at me. I checked the time on my phone and decided it was time to leave. Whatever he was going to do about the media today, let him do it.” Once he and my mother get divorced, the truth will come to light.” Ignoring my father’s gaze, I walked past them.
Just as I brushed past Rosalie, something glinting at her neck caught my eye.
A strange but familiar feeling surged in my chest. Without thinking, I reached out and yanked the necklace from around her neck. “Why do you have my necklace?!”
My eyes turned cold with rage. I wanted nothing more than to rip it off her right then and there.
Rosalie stumbled from the force of my pull, and the chain scraped across her skin, leaving an angry red mark on her neck.
Rowen, looking worried, rushed over and slapped my hand away.
“What are you doing?!“}
He saw me tugging at Rosalie and assumed I was hurting her.
(
He tried to pull me off her, but I pushed him away with my other hand.
“Rowen, you better explain why my mother’s necklace is on Rosalie!“}
“thought I lost it and was heartbroken for a long time–turns out you stole it all along! This was my favorite necklace.” I pointed at Rowen and yelled.
Rowen froze, and thundered, “Alicia! How can you accuse me of stealing? It’s just an ordinary necklace.”
“Stealing? Sis, I asked for that necklace, and he gave it to me immediately.“}
Rosalie smirked, looked at me with smug satisfaction, her fingers deliberately brushing the necklace at her neck.
“Everything that’s yours–if I want it, Dad and Rowen will hand it over to me,” she said, her voice dripping with arrogance.§ Her words pierced straight through me, but what hurt even more was the thought of my child…
How could I ever forget the reason my baby died?!!
A wave of hatred rose in me, my gaze sharpened. “You don’t deserve an
any of my things!”
I yanked the necklace away, ignoring the pain in Rosalie’s sharp intake of breath.
Because of my strength, the necklace cut into her neck, drawing blood.§
She screamed in pain, clutching her neck as blood stained her hand.
Rosalie panicked, and Rowen hurried to comfort her.
I casually tossed the necklace on the ground.§
Rowen looked at me, clearly wanting an apology.
“Alicia! How can you treat Rosalie like that? She’s pregnant!”
“Apologize again? Rowen, when Rosalie killed my child, did you ever ask her to apologize to me?“> Rowen’s face shifted through several emotions. Rosalie cried out louder, seemingly frightened.§
“How can you be so petty? That was so long ago. Besides, it wasn’t her fault!”
Rowen frowned; to him, I was just an unreasonable shrew.
I laughed coldly, then slapped him hard across the face.
The slap left his face red and swollen. Rosalie was so shocked she stopped crying.
“Rowen, do you still think I’m the same girl you used to bully?”
I turned and walked toward the door.”
Before leaving, I glanced at Rosalie one last time.”
“Rosalie, I hope the day you have nothing left, you can still smile as arrogantly as you just did.”
With that, I walked out without looking back.
If it weren’t for Mom, I wouldn’t bother with any of these people.
But luckily, now I know all their true intentions.
