Chapter 169

Fortunately, Julian had always been cold toward Rosalie, even mentioning that he would divorce her sooner or later. Matteo had believed him and privately reassured Roseanne not to worry, that Julian still had feelings for her. But recent events had made Matteo doubt his assumptions, especially Julian's inexplicable irritability tonight, which seemed quite odd.

Upon hearing Sean's exclamation, Matteo understood everything. It was quite a coincidence; Rosalie and Anya were also there. Thinking of this, Matteo's brow furrowed slightly, clearly displeased. However, no one cared about his feelings.

Kaleb followed Sean's gaze and saw Anya and Rosalie chatting and laughing at a nearby table. He deliberately glanced at Julian, who had just returned from the smoking area, and sent a video call to Anya.

"I'll take this call. It's from Julian," Anya said, pulling out her phone and showing it to Rosalie. Rosalie's face froze, her expression turning strange as she considered the people sitting opposite them.

As soon as Anya answered, Kaleb's voice came through. "Anya, I'm right across from you. Come over and join us." Through the video, Anya saw her husband waving. Besides Kaleb, she also spotted Roseanne.

"Alright, I'm coming," Anya said, hanging up with a hint of displeasure and grumbling, "Julian, dragging his feet on the divorce and yet has the nerve to bring out that bitch. What a bastard!"

Rosalie was taken aback, left speechless by Anya's muttered complaints.

"Come on, Rosalie. Let's go over there. I don't believe that couple has the audacity to flirt right in front of you," Anya said, pulling Rosalie's hand toward Julian and the others.

Rosalie was silent. 'No, I don't want to get involved in this drama,' she thought. Before she could say anything, Anya had already started dragging her. Rosalie gently struggled and pulled her hand free.

"Rosalie?" Anya said, surprised by Rosalie's resistance, and turned back to look at her questioningly.

Rosalie stood up, downed the rest of her Margarita, and said to Anya, "I actually have another appointment. It's about time for me to leave. You go over and join Kaleb and the others."

Anya, of course, didn't believe such a convenient excuse. It was obvious Rosalie didn't want to be near Julian. That was right. If Kaleb had treated her the way Julian had treated Rosalie over the past year, Anya would have broken his leg long ago. Kaleb, unfairly implicated, shivered for no apparent reason.

"Rosalie, I know you don't want to see that jerk Julian, but don't you see? His ex-girlfriend is here. As the legitimate wife, shouldn't you go over there and assert your authority?" Anya said.

If Roseanne dared to make a move on Julian, she wouldn't let her off easily.
