Camelia gave Rosalie a pitiful look.
“Rosalie, are you still angry at me for taking your place at Stellar Group? But I swear I really didn’t want to do it. In fact, I want things to go back to the way they were between us.”
Rosalie was a little dazed when she saw Camelia’s sad, innocent face. How had she never seen how
hypocritical the latter really was?
Ursula once told her that Camelia was a little two-faced and warned her to be careful. She vividly
remembered what she said in return.
“That’s not who Camelia is. She’s just a little more unrestricted because she spent years overseas.”
Now that Rosalie thought about it, perhaps she had looked at Camelia through rose-tinted glasses because the latter was the daughter of her mom’s best friend.
All she had ever thought about was how best to look after Camelia on her mother’s behalf. Yet, she had
never taken into account just how far the latter would take it.
And now, Camelia had stolen Rosalie’s fiancé and taken her job, without the slightest sense of remorse.
Rosalie suddenly laughed.
“Camelia, just how shameless do you have to be to say something this brazen?”
Camelia froze, and tears welled up in her eyes at once.
Lucian’s eyebrows furrowed. He took a step forward.
“Rosalie, I’m the one who treated you badly. Why are you this mean to Camelia? You never used to be this
way!”
Hearing that, Rosalie burst out laughing. How was she supposed to behave, then? Did Lucian expect her to still love him hopelessly? Was she supposed to keep simping for him, even though he dumped her?
It wasn’t as if she would have trouble looking for a man who loved her.
At that moment, someone walked through the lobby door and cast a curious glance their way.
Rosalie ignored Lucian and led Richard into the elevator, her arms wrapped around his.
Lucian’s expression immediately darkened. He instinctively took off after her and pulled her away from
Richard
“You’re too naive if you think you can get rid of me with an assistant. Come with me!”
Rosalie shook his hand off and said, “Mr. Fenwick, please control yourself!”
As it happened, the elevator slid open. A wealthy heir stepped forward and clicked his tongue in

impatience.
“What, a love triangle? Cut the drama. This is not the place for this. If you guys want to do this, do it outside!”
Things became awkward after that. For a brief moment, nobody said anything. The elevator slowly went up, and Lucian kept a grim expression the entire time.
With a soft chime, the elevator doors slid open. Rosalie immediately stepped outside with Richard in tow.
Lucian was about to take off after her, but Camelia called out to him.
“Lucian, wait for me.”
He turned around and saw that she was blocked by the other people in the elevator. By the time he grabbed her hand and turned around, Rosalie was already gone.
Tonight’s cocktail party was high-end, and most of the members of high society in Claver were here. Rosalie had attended a lot of social functions in her past life. So, she was quite used to occasions like
these.
It didn’t take her long to find her target for the night-Reuben Fitzgerald, Vista Furnishings’ project director.
Rosalie straightened her dress and was about to approach him when she heard a commotion in the
crowd.
Someone charged out of the crowd and bumped into her. Her high heels slipped on the carpet, and she barely managed to steady herself.
The man who hit Rosalie didn’t even realize what he had done. He faced Reuben and cried out, “It’s the scion of the Yarwood family! He’s here!”
It was a brief message, and yet it immediately silenced everyone in the party hall. A second later, the place erupted in an even louder chatter. Every single guest cast their gazes at the door.
“Is it really Mr. Yarwood? Isn’t he the type of person who avoids cocktail parties like this?”
“You really should keep up with the current events. Didn’t you hear about Yarwood Group’s stock price increasing exponentially last week? It’s all because, according to rumor, he married someone!”
“Married? Who’s his wife? Gosh. This is insane! Which lucky heiress got married to Mr. Julian?”
“No one knows! That said, this is the first time Mr. Julian has shown himself in public after the wedding. He’s probably here to support his own company!”
The two noble ladies standing in front of Rosalie spoke even more directly.
“I’ve only seen Mr. Julian in person once. Let me tell you, not even the celebrities hold a candle to him!”
“From what I heard, not only did Mr. Julian look stunning, but he even owns half of the Yarwood family’s properties. I wonder who scored the chance to be his wife.”

“You said it. Just thinking about it makes me jealous.”
Hearing all of these, Rosalie was speechless. Even so, she was also feeling curious, and her eyes followed everyone’s gaze to the door.
