What a bombshell!

Hold on, why does she sound so confident? Could it be true? | want to see, but what if it taints my sight? Still... |

want to look!

The Quirk family members were all stunned, staring at Rosalie in disbelief. However, Rosalie indeed had

surveillance equipment in her stuat home.

Madeline was aware of Rosalie's habit. However, she didn't expect her to do the sat that humble rental

house. As she watched Rosalie unlock her phone, her mind couldn't focus on anything else. In her panic, she

rushed over to try and snatch it away. Taking a step forward, Alexander blocked off Madeline, only for Dominic to

seize this opportunity to rush toward Rosalie in an attempt to snatch the phone..

In the next moment, Rosalie abruptly withdrew her hand. With her other hand, she swung in a wide arc, landing a

resounding slap across Dominic's face.

Dominic was caught off guard and stumbled backward, reeling from the surprise. Before he could even gather

his thoughts, Rosalie gave him another swift slap. Everyone was left dumbfounded.

Caught off guard by the shock, Alexander forgot to intervene, allowing Madeline to lunge forward. "Who gave

you the right to hit Dom!" she shouted.

The outcwas yet another resounding pair of slaps, one on each cheek.

Everyone was stunned. Rosalie, the campus belle... the goddess... the naive sweetheart who was deceived... the

delicate damsel... had just delivered four resounding slaps. As everyone observed the red handprints on

Dominic's and Madeline's faces, silence fell upon

them all.

Indeed, being let down by scum can really make a person grow. Youth is priceless, so go ahead and give that jerk

a good slap! | applaud you for that.

Isabella couldn't help but applaud Rosalic, and to her surprise, others started clapping too. There were even

swho whistled, shouting out praises for a job well done.

As the two turned to look at Rosalie, completely dumbfounded, Rosalie said with a melancholic yet mocking

smile, "I was merely tricking you, but | appreciate your guilty conscience proving it for me." This single

statement incited uproarious laughter throughout the entire room.

Madeline and Dominic glared at Rosalie with venomous eyes, seemingly wanting to seek revenge.

However, before they could make a move, two people behind them had already rushed forward.

Brian landed a punch on his stepson's face, then proceeded to kick him wildly.

"Damn it, you actually dared to sleep with my daughter! | brought you and your mother into my home, and this

is how you repay me! You're truly heartless and ungrateful!"

Kendra had already grabbed hold of Madeline's hair, continually slapping her.

"You little wretch, you must have seduced my son! How else could he have done such a thing? It's all because of

you, you shameless creature! You're just like your mother! You've brought disgrace upon our family!" "Dad, don't

hit Dom. Dom, save me!"

"Mom, don't hit my woman! Let go, you old fart!"

The four individuals were practically entangled with each other.

For a moment, the family of four, who had just presented a united front to the outside world, was in utter chaos.

The Quirk family members quickly rallied around Rosalie, retreating to avoid being splashed with anything

unsightly.

However, the staff in the office had no choice but to intervene. Despite their desire to continue watching the

unfold, they knew they'd be the ones dealing with the fallout if anything

went wrong.

"This is where we process exchange student applications. If you're short on cash, find a way to get it. The

deadline is 6 p.m. tonight. Don't cause a scene here, or I'll call security," the staff member sternly warned. Those

words brought the entire family back to reality.

"I understand now! You were merely using my son, manipulating him to secure a spot and funds to go abroad.

Looks like that's gone down the drain. You can keep on dreaming!"

"Who said she can't go? We'll sell the house if we need to! My daughter has to go, to put a great distance

between her and your son so she won't be preyed upon by that little beast!"

"Don't even think about it! That house was promised to my son! He's the one who will take care of you in your

old age! If you give it to our daughter, she'll just leave, and who will you rely on then?"

"Well, at least she's my own flesh and blood! Unlike your son who not only wants my money also can't keep his

hands off my daughter! Such greed!"

but

Brian and Kendra started arguing. Dominic watched with a face full of frustration, not bothering to intervene

even as it seemed like they were about to cto blows.

Suddenly, Rosalie picked up her phone and crafted a text message, then gestured for Madeline, who was

watching her, to read the message.

Madeline's brow furrowed in suspicion, but she lowered her head to take a closer look. After reading the

message, her expression shifted tically.

The text read: Actually, your brother secretly went on several dates withbehind your back, and he asked me

not to tell you.

Isabella happened to be standing right behind Rosalie, and thus saw the contents of the message. After taking a

moment to digest the information, she turned her gaze toward Madeline and Dominic.

Madeline, pale-faced, reached out to grasp Dominic's hand. "Dom, no matter what, at least letleave the

country first. If | stay, we'll both continue to be the subject of relentless gossip. This opportunity won't come

again casily, so please, hold Mom back." Dominic shook his head. "If you go abroad, what will happen to me? I'll

be the subject of everyone's scorn too. Furthermore, if the house is sold for you, what about my future? You're

not planning to run away and leavebehind, are you?" "Dom, don't you trust me? How could I possibly-"

"You're craftier than anyone else. How am | supposed to trust you-"

The two people, who once loved each other dearly, finally ended up arguing when it cto their own interests.

Rosalie's message had served as the catalyst, inciting Madeline to question Dominic's feelings for her. From then

on, she began to focus solely on looking out for herself.

Isabella believed in the truth of Rosalie's words, recalling the particular scene when Christopher ran into them

previously.

If Dominic had merely been playing along with Madeline's act, why would he have to act so sneakily?

This proved that Dominic himself was not exactly an honest guy.

Having Rosalie as a girlfriend, whether it was the ty or the bragging rights, all overshadowed. the years of

feelings for Madeline. It was just that he was momentarily tempted but lacked the courage to act on his urges.

When all was said and done, how much affection could one truly expect from someone of such a despicable

nature?

In the end, the staff simply couldn't take it anymore and sent security to throw them out.

This farcical episode had finally cto a close.

Meanwhile, the Campos family was embroiled in a major dispute. In the end, Brian, his face marred by scratches,

Madeline carnestly promised that the moment she started her studies, she would immediately begin selling her

money was refunded.

For the Campos family, it was nothing short of a bolt from the blue.

She couldn't bear the stares from others, leaving her with no choice but to drop out of university.

In the end, no one knew where the family had moved to.

When Christopher related the events to Rosalie, she was still lost in the haze of her tragic experience. After

listening, she couldn't help but ask, "Could it really be true that what goes. around comes around?"

Just as Christopher was about to nod, he heard the inner thoughts of Isabella.

Of course not. It was your father and brothers who stepped in as the champions of justice. Why should the

virtuous Quirk family have to endure the whims of these petty individuals? That would be far too suffocating.

Power should be wielded when it's necessary, t remind them of their place and not to get too big for their boots.

Rosalie paused for a moment before finally revealing a smile on her face.

That evening, she descended the stairs to join everyone for dinner. After the meal, she faced everyone and

solemnly bowed in apology, expressing remorse for her foolishness.

Isabella's assessment of this was: Hopeless romantics truly are frustrating when in love, but at least she cto

quickly enough, which shows she isn't completely hopeless after all.

Everyone from the Quirk family feigned a cough to mask their awkwardness.

Rosalie looked at her sister-in-law, who had just saved her, with starry eyes full of admiration.

Then, she turned to secretly ask Alexander, "I want to thank Bella. Do you know what she likes?"

Originally, Alexander intended to say there was no need because after rescuing his younger sister, the family

had already found various excuses to give Isabella monetary gifts. He felt that at this rate, Isabella was on track

to amass the two hundred million needed for a div Fortunately, all the money had been transferred to him.

Just then, he heard Rosalie muttering to herself, "I know Bella used to be quite smitten with you, so anything

related to you would suffice as a gift. But it seems like that's not the case anymore. She's changed a lot, hasn't

she?" Alexander was rendered speechless, feeling like he had been stabbed in the back.

Are you my younger sister or not?

"What should | give her?" Rosalie didn't realize she had unwittingly stabbed her second brother in the heart.

Thus, when she couldn't get any answers from Alexander, she felt utterly bewildered.

Turning to Evian, she got a straightforward answer: Isabella no longer had feelings for Alexander. She was now

more interested in moncy

Having just experienced the trials of a dark romance, Rosalie expressed that Isabella was very

wise.

Evian was doing quite well in her career at the moment, and she nodded in agreement to this, showing her

approval.

Following that, Isabella received a bank transfer.

The note that cwith it was: I'm grateful that you ordered takeout for me; it really helpedclear my head.

This is a token of my appreciation. Thank you, Bella.

The amount was over two million.
