Chapter 42

Edward hadn't expected Rosalie to act like this. She had caught him completely off guard. "The Gibson is here," someone called out, diverting Edward's furious gaze from Rosalie.

"The Gilsum, please check in, Helena," Claudia's voice trembled as tears streamed down her face. Helena had a weak heart. Over the years, she had relied on countless supplements and medications to maintain a semblance of a normal life. But she couldn't withstand emotional turmoil. The family had always tiptoed around her, ensuring she remained calm. Yet today, every word from Jamalie's mouth felt like a dagger aimed at her, pushing Helena to the brink.

Chudu shot Rosalie a venomous glare, her eyes filled with malice. "I won't let this little bitch get away with it," she thought, a sinister chill running through her. "I made sure Hella died without a trace. Killing this wretched brat would be just as easy!"

"Take Ms. Graham back to her room and have her lie flat," Harney instructed. The maids quickly carried Helena upstairs. "Hollie, serve the food," Rosalie's unbothered voice rang out, slicing through the tension.

Seeing Rosalie eat at such a time, both Edward and Claudia felt their anger rise uncontrollably. As he ascended the stairs, Edward threw a parting shot over his shoulder. "Rosalie, you'll pay for your cruelty. Karma will catch up with you."

Rosalie scoffed. "Dad, listen to yourself. If it weren't for us—the Talley family—spending a fortune on Helena's treatments, she would have been dead several times over by now. It's only because of our family money that she's lived this long. By that logic, I'd say I'm Helena's savior." Her smile remained unfazed, sharp as a blade. "After I did such a good deed, how could karma possibly come for me? Don't you think?"
