Chapter 147

After a night of successive setbacks, Elwand had finally calmed down. He kept reassuring himself and wondered, "Let her continue to act out; she’ll get what’s coming to her one day."

Helena, feeling wronged and bullied by Rosalie, was forced to move out of her room. “What’s Rosalie planning to do next?” she wondered. She couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke up. “Rosalie, I’m such a frail person. Do you really think I could break your bed? Why make things so difficult? I’ve already moved out as you wished. Isn’t that enough?”

Rosalie had been prepared to let things lie, but Helena, the illegitimate daughter, still wanted to stir up trouble. Rosalie couldn’t be blamed for speaking harshly. She glanced at Helena, who looked both wronged and resentful, and smiled. “Firstly, this room was always mine. You were the one who took it over. Moving out is only right. Secondly…”

She paused deliberately, narrowing her eyes at Helena, her look full of contempt and disdain. “Are you joking with me? Let me sleep on a bed you’ve slept on! I have a germ phobia, you know?”

“Germ phobia? Germ phobia. There it is again,” Helena mused. Hearing the word reminded her of Julian’s humiliation at the dinner table. The anger building inside her surged. “D-do you think I’m dirty?” she asked.

“No, of course not,” Rosalie replied with a smile. “I just don’t want to catch whatever illness you might have.”

Rosalie wasn’t about to consider Helena’s feelings. Before time travel, she had been considerate, and look where it had gotten her—a family that had deceived her for over a decade. Now, she didn’t owe anyone any consideration.

“You…” Helena was speechless.

“Alright, Helena, you’re not feeling well. Let your mother take you upstairs to rest,” Edward quickly interjected, seeing another argument brewing. His precious and obedient daughter was no match for Rosalie, the troublemaker.
