StarNovelChapter 765:
Rosie’s words left a bitter taste. Lilith’s jaw tightened as she fired back, “You're right—my family’s not that
wealthy. But at least | don’t have nude photos of myself floating around the internet. If | were you, | would never
show my face in public again.”
Rosie snapped, “How dare you say that?”
That incident had left her deeply shaken. For nearly a month, she had refused to step outside, holed up at home
as she worked tirelessly to scrub the inteclean—deleting posts, burying discussions, and doing everything
she could to make the scandal go away.
She had forced herself to pretend it had never happened. At tonight's charity ball, no one had dared bring it up—
until now. Just when she felt a bit better, Lilith mentioned the incident.
Rosie raised her hand to hit Lilith.
Brenna stepped in just in time, her grip catching Rosie's wrist mid-air. “Struck a nerve, didn’t she? So now you
want to hit her?”
Rosie scowled, yanking her arm back. “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t be so quick to play the hero. She's
not even guaranteed a place in the Harper family. | still am. Her insult is an insult to us all.”
Brenna let out a cold laugh. “Oh, now we're family? When you dragged the entire Harper family to court, trying
to ruin us, why didn’t you say we were family?”
Rosie sneered. “Sparethe lecture. Am | wrong? She's just Ernst’s girlfriend, not even engaged to him. He

The commotion in the vicinity drew the curiosity of several bystanders, who shifted their attention toward the
unfolding scene.
Brenna grasped Rosie’s motives—she wanted to avoid stirring memories of the recent incident whenever others
saw her. So, Rosie chose to ease up on Lilith. Scanning the gathered crowd, she locked eyes with the onlookers
and said sharply, “What's so fascinating? I'm just talking to my cousin. Are you all that eager to eavesdrop?”
As anticipated, people quickly looked away.
Rosie, wary of sparking another commotion that might draw scrutiny, softened her voice. “I don’t care who Ernst
chooses to marry. I'm here to pass on a message. Please tell Ethan I tried to reach him earlier, but the crowd
around him was too thick, and | couldn't get through.”

Brenna’s stare was cold. “Don’t you have his WhatsApp? Can't you just message him? Why do | need to be your
messenger?”
Rosie exhaled resignedly. “He blockedages ago and wouldn't pick up my calls. What else am | supposed to
do?”
