Gossip Girl Reborn



Chapter 54 Finally Seen The Light

“Rosic, what’s wrong?”

“I won’t be footing the fees for you. Don’t even dream about getting this spot,” Rosalie suddenly uttered in a cold voice.

Madeline’s face dramatically changed. “Rosie, what do you mean by this!”

In an instant, Brian and Kendra became nervous.

Brian frowned. “Aren’t you my son’s girlfriend? And my daughter’s best friend? What’s wrong with lending a hand? Why do you have to speak so harshly? If we weren’t pressed for time to gather the money, we wouldn’t even need to ask you. It’s not like we won’t pay you back!”

After speaking, he looked at Rosalie with dissatisfaction and asked, “And you still expect to marry my son like this?”

Kendra expressed her displeasure, “Rosie, we’ve always considered you as part of our family. Are you upset because Dominic hasn’t been visiting you lately? But you should also consider the attitude of your own family. If they don’t respect others, naturally my son won’t visit. Even if you’re upset, you shouldn’t sabotage Madeline at such a critical moment. And to think you two are supposed to be best friends!”

After finishing her sentence, Kendra wore a light smile and added, “It’s okay to throw a tantrum at other times, but now, in such a critical moment, you should stop.”

How much dignity could a woman who moved in with her boyfriend less than a week into their relationship possibly have?

Kendra felt she had complete control, already assuming the haughty airs of a mother–in–law.

Rosalic looked at Kendra with a stiff expression. She couldn’t muster a particularly fierce look, but it was somewhat unpleasant, nonetheless.

“What kind of person your son is determines the treatment he’ll receive from my family. You expect my family to respect him? Does he deserve it?”

Upon hearing this, the Camposes were dumbfounded.

Madeline looked at Rosalie in disbelief before moving to grab her sleeve, but she was shrugged off by Rosalie. “I came here today to break up with Dominic and to take back my painting from his rented unit, not to be an easy mark for you to mooch off of.”

This statement was practically roared out, resonating throughout the entire office and even reaching the corridors.

The four members of the Quirk family who had just stepped out of the elevator also heard it.

Everyone was stunned in place.

Ah, looks like she’s finally seen the light.

A flush of surprise crossed the faces of the Quirk family members. It was their first time hearing Rosalie raise her voice in such a manner.

However, their hearts quickly leaped into their throats as Dominic just happened to step through the door.

They quickly followed along.

“Rosie, what are you talking about?” Dominic asked, trying to suppress his anger.

Rosalie finally saw Dominic. She had always thought he had a roguishly handsome look and was incredibly cool. Yet, it was this free–spirited man who was utterly devoted to her, his heart and eyes filled only with her. This made her feel an overwhelming sense of happiness.

In Rosalie’s eyes now, however, he was nothing more than an ill–mannered, impolite, and delusional hooligan!

She knew she had been overly obsessed before, as if under a spell. But that night, her world was shattered by a succession of shocking news. By the time she regained her senses, she realized that there had been signs all along. She had just been too naive and blind. The things she thought had attracted her were merely illusions she had created through countless layers of filters.

She had thrown away her future and ruined her prospects, all for this worthless individual. She was utterly overwhelmed by her own foolishness.

Looking back now, she thought she must have lost her mind. How could she have fallen for such a revolting man? The mere thought of it made her want to throw up.

When Dominic saw that Rosalie was just staring at him without saying a word, he was at a loss for what to say. After all, during their time together, he had always been in a superior position, merely teasing Rosalie at most. He was never one for small, tender gestures.

His gaze swept over Madeline, who quickly conveyed a silent cue, hinting for him to appease Rosalie.

Based on what Rosalie had just said, if the situation wasn’t smoothed over soon, there would be trouble with the money for Madeline’s overseas exchange.

Dominic was growing a bit trying to placate her, “don’t be upset. You must be hungry. I made this for you. Let’s eat first and then we can talk.”, but he still raised the lunch box he was carrying. “Here,” he said,

Every time he used this tactic, it would remind Rosalie of the time he had saved her. Consequently, Rosalie would forget all her worries and obediently stay by his side.

This time, as before, Rosalie took the lunch box. But before anyone could react, Rosalie flipped the lid, raised her arm, and fiercely smashed the lunch box into Dominic’s face.

As the food splattered, she smushed it harder.

A scream echoed throughout the entire floor. This drew even more curious onlookers,

"Ah!" Dominic shrieked, having been scalded. He clumsily scraped the piping hot food off his face in a flustered panic.

The Camposes were instantly dumbfounded, frozen on the spot.

Dominic, in his pain, couldn't suppress his temper. His true nature instinctively revealed itself as he raised hand, ready to strike.

However, just as his hand was about to swing down, it was seized by a grip as firm as iron.

Before Dominic could clearly see who had arrived, he was already kicked aside. With a grunt, he found himself seated on the ground.

Looking up, he saw a couple with an impressive air about them standing behind Rosalie. The one who kicked him was familiar. After all, he had made sure to brush up on some basic information. before going to Quirk Group to see who his backer would be.

Now, as he stood before this formidable figure, his once imposing demeanor diminished. A cold glance swept over him, instantly causing Dominic's legs to tremble, and he was unable to stand upright.

In an instant, Dominic's temper was completely extinguished. He knew well who he could not afford to offend.

The members of the Campos family hurried over to help Dominic up. Kendra, with her heart. aching for her beloved son, was the first to voice her outrage.

"How could you all behave so rudely, each and every one of you? My son made this meal out of kindness-

"Ahem, the plastic bag for the food container seems to be from a Clusian cuisine franchise." Leaning against the door, Isabella began to chastise herself, "Not long ago, Rosalie lost her appetite. I tried to cheer her up by saying I'd cook for her, but I didn't anticipate how terrible my cooking skills were. So, I ended up ordering Clusian cuisine as food delivery and pretended it was my own cooking. Coincidentally, it was from this very place." Isabella blinked and chuckled. "Your son and I are on the same wavelength. But he's quite a fool. If he had to pretend, he could have at least changed the plastic bag."

This immediately amused the onlookers who were secretly watching the spectacle.

Kendra's face flushed red in an instant. She knew it was takeout, but she never expected to be called out on it. Still, she stubbornly retorted, "He... just reused the plastic bag."

"You're quite the stubborn one, aren't you? How about I order some takeout right here, and we can compare?" Isabella said, all while still smiling.

"What business is it of yours!" Kendra said in anger.

Kendra was instantly taken aback.

Madeline felt that they had probably been inadvertently exposed by Isabella, which was why Rosalie was so angry.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Rosie, even if my brother deceived you about his cooking, his feelings for you are genuine. After all, you've been living together. You must have felt it, right?"

Upon hearing that, Isabella quickly pulled out her phone and began taking a video of the scene.

Her action immediately set off a chain reaction, with many in the crowd following suit.

Isabella wasn't doing this to hold any scandalous information over Rosalie's head. Rather, she was concerned about the dangers of the public blindly believing baseless rumors.

In any case, Rosalie had cleared her mind, so things would be easy to explain later. Should there be a lack of comprehensive video evidence, considering Madeline and Kendra's propensity for spreading rumors, who knew what trouble they might stir up?

Although the Quirk family wouldn't be scared even if something like that happened, it was still quite distasteful.

Hence, Isabella simply decided to harness the power of the masses. She knew that if more videos of this sort were circulated, it would be difficult for the Campos family to turn things around.

In the end, Isabella had never anticipated that Rosalie would kick things off with such a sensational headline.

"Living together? You mean tricking me into becoming a caretaker for your

brother and looking after him, but not allowing us to have a sexual relationship?"

Everyone was taken aback, feeling awkward and at a loss, yet their curiosity was piqued, and they were eager for gossip.

Dominic's parents were unaware of the situation, while Dominic and Madeline both stared at Rosalie in stunned disbelief. They couldn't believe that the usually reserved Rosalie had the audacity to speak so bluntly.

Rosalie took a step forward, her gaze fiercely fixed on the two of them. "All while you two were sleeping together behind my back! You're truly disgusting!"
