Chapter 204

Rosalie couldn't have cared less about Julian's feelings at that moment. She slipped the divorce decree into a safe place and set her sights on the rising sun, ready to move on. The sun blazed brightly, casting golden rays on the snow-covered ground and reflecting a dazzling, radiant glow. That picture-perfect scene lifted Rosalie's spirits and put a spring in her step.

She was finally able to shake Julian off. From that day forward, there would be no more tangling with him. Standing in the snow, she took a deep breath and willed herself to ignore the hollow ache in her chest, a vice gripping her heart.

Afterward, she headed back to Graham Villa and began formulating a plan to get even with those who had wronged her. Ever since Rosalie had given those at Graham Villa a good old-fashioned scolding, the Graham family had been too afraid to provoke her again.

Tomorrow marked Christmas Eve. All companies had already announced their holiday schedules. With the festive buzz reaching a crescendo, the Graham family would embark on their annual trip to Edward's hometown to visit relatives.

The Graham family's visits weren't driven by deep emotional ties. It was more about leveraging the Talley family's wealth and status. However, the people in Edward's hometown were unaware that he had married an heiress. They viewed his annual visits—aboard a private jet laden with gifts—as a testament to his success.

After all, Phyllis Graham, Edward's mother, always boasted to the extended family that her son was chairman of a publicly listed company. Had it been anyone else, they might have doubted Phyllis's claim. But because it was Edward, and he did fly back to his hometown in his own private jet, they found it entirely believable. Although they were bragging, they had the means to justify their boasts.
