At about nine o’clock in the morning, Rosalie drove her beloved luxury car to the trunk road of Blues Cafe. She carefully recalled what Credence had said-‘Only you and I will be there’. She was in a good mood as she slowly curled her lips, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.
She was younger, more slender, and gentler than Dorothy. Whatever Dorothy could do, she could do better than her. She was confident that she would be able to win over Credence’s heart!
When she answered the phone, for some unknown reason, she had deliberately recorded the audio of Credence’s call, and saved it into her memory card.
She had only done it subconsciously back then, but now…
Rosalie’s hands, which had been holding onto the steering wheel, suddenly turned the car to the left and headed towards Talco City’s police station.
This was something that was definitely worth celebrating. She had to show it off in front of Dorothy.
…
Dorothy, who was in the detention room, helplessly looked at Juelz who was busy picking out clothes from the piles of children’s clothing. She smiled as they talked about which clothes looked the best on the kid.
Dorothy’s figure was completely out of shape. She had a big, round belly. When she heard Juelz’s silly words, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you here to see me, or to see my child?”
Juelz put into her hands the most beautiful clothes he had picked, and took her wrist as he answered with a smile, “This time, I’ve come to see the baby. As for you, I just happened to pass by. I heard from a salesgirl in the kids’ store say that if we allow the baby to see more beautiful clothes, the baby will look better when they’re born.”
“Dory, from now on, I will bring you a pile of clothes like this every day. You can look at them all you want! How about that? Do you feel a little touched?”
The corner of Dorothy’s mouth twitched, “Juelz, have you noticed that you’ve become completely different during this period of time? You’re such a nag, I really can’t stand you anymore.”
“I am only nagging because I care about you, and I like you!”
“Hey, can you not mention the words ‘like’ every time you talk?”
He teased, “Then I’ll change the word. What about ‘love’?”
“Juelz, that’s enough!”
…
Just as Rosalie rounded the corner, the hollow iron bars could not block out the harmonious sweet conversation between Dorothy and Juelz.
There was a malicious smile hanging on the corner of Rosalie’s mouth. She listened with a smile, and recorded the scene on her mobile phone.
She thought to herself, “When I meet Credence in Blues Cafe, I will pretend to play this video by accident, and let him listen to it. Even if Dorothy has been locked up in the police station, she is still hooking up with Juelz, and is even pregnant with his child.”
Dorothy, who was already marked by another man, was so filthy that even if Credence was unwilling to let her go, he would be left with no choice.
“Dorothy, I’m here to see you. However, it seems that I came at a bad time. I might be disturbing you and Mr. Juelz’s private time.”
When she was almost done filming, Rosalie walked out. As she walked, she deliberately raised her chin, and was filled with arrogance.
When Juelz saw Rosalie, who was well-dressed and had an arrogant flair as she spoke, he could not help but frown. He snorted, “Since you know that it’s not a good time to come, get out of here! I’ve never seen a more disgusting woman than you.”
Rosalie’s face fell, “Mr. Juelz, I need to talk to Dorothy. Could you please leave us for a while?”
“Why the f*ck should I leave? Rosalie, if you have something to say, just say it. I need to be with the baby in her belly. She doesn’t have time to babble nonsense with you.”
When faced with such a bossy Rosalie, Juelz did not hesitate to refute.
A fake smile donned Dorothy’s face, “I’m not like you as I’m not always thinking about killing my own sister. Tell me, what do you want?”
Rosalie gritted her teeth, “This is about Credence. Do you really want Mr. Juelz to be around?”
“This again. Rosalie, aren’t you tired of the same tricks?”
This time, Dorothy really was laughing. She softly chuckled as she tucked her long hair behind her ear. Her effortless elegance immediately sparked jealousy within Rosalie.
Ever since she was a child, Dorothy was more beautiful than her. Her skin was fairer, and more translucent, while her features were exquisite and beautiful. It was as if she had been born to be the pride of their family.
That was why Rosalie hated Dorothy the most. She was just an orphan who had been adopted from the orphanage, but no matter how hard she practiced her etiquette, when she stood before Dorothy, she would still look like an insignificant weed by the roadside.
She did not understand why she just could not compare to Dorothy. Therefore, she could only continuously scheme against Dorothy again and again in an attempt to drag her down.
However, Dorothy did not end up being miserable or depressed. On the contrary, she became more and more stubborn and courageous. She was deeply loved by the old man of the Scott family. In the end, she had slept with Credence and became the real Mrs. Scott, enjoying her moment of glory.
Fortunately, Dorothy was no longer married to him.
In conclusion, Rosalie had gained an overwhelming victory for now, but she had to find a way to drag it out for as long as possible!
Rosalie stared at Dorothy’s flawless face, and gritted her teeth to resist the urge to tear off her pretty face. She replied softly, “Dorothy, since you don’t mind being embarrassed, then I’ll just say it! Credence has told me that he has no feelings for you anymore. He called me to accompany him an hour ago. He also emphasized that there would only be the two of us-the two of us!”
The next second, Rosalie pressed the play button, and Credence’s gentle and charming voice echoed in the narrow room.
Dorothy listened with a poker face. Even if she had told herself to not care about the man anymore, there was still a dull pain in her heart, which she found hard to bear.
In the end, she hid all her emotions beneath a calm expression, “Credence has finally cast his eyes on you. That’s good, so why are you looking for me? Are you here to show off?”
Rosalie’s face paled upon her words, and then she smiled coldly, “Dorothy, what I mean to say is, if you have no valid reason to do so, please don’t disturb Credence ever again. After all, after I become his woman today, he will be your brother-in-law. There are lots of things you need to do in order to avoid suspicion so as not to make others gossip.”
Dorothy believed that she would never be as shameless as Rosalie.
Inwardly, she ruthlessly scolded Credence for being blind as she tried to suppress her foul mouth. In the end, she did not say anything.
She and Credence had already divorced. No matter what kind of woman he was pursuing, she had no right to judge him for it anymore.
Juelz could not stand it any longer, “Rosalie, are you done here? If you are, then f*ck off! This place doesn’t welcome a b*tch like you, so get the f*ck out of here and go as far away as possible.”
Juelz could not stand it any longer. He drove her out with a cold face.
“Dorothy, remember my words. The man who I like belongs to me, and only me. If you want to fight for him, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Besides, you should be satisfied that you can find a man who treats you well with sincerity, like Mr. Juelz, even after you are divorced.”
After she said that, Rosalie sneered and left.
She stared at Rosalie’s departing figure until she could no longer be seen. Dorothy raised her head and closed her eyes. Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper and held no expression.
The incandescent light from the lamp on the ceiling shone on her face, making her look cold and particularly fragile.
Juelz frowned, “Dory, are you alright?”
Dejectedness flashed across his handsome features.
No matter how much effort he put in to make Dorothy feel a little better, the word ‘Credence’ was like a spell that could easily send her back into a whirlpool of sorrow.
Dorothy stiffened. She turned to Juelz and forced a smile, “Juelz, you should go back first. I want to be alone.”
Looking at her gloomy expression, Juelz did not want to upset her any longer. He reached out to gently rub her head and sighed, “Okay, I’ll be leaving first. Take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly.”
Dorothy forced a smile and nodded.
Soon, silence fell upon the room after Juelz’s departure.
Dorothy reached her hand out, and touched her bulging belly through her thin summer clothes. She slowly turned around and laid back on the bed. She looked at the white ceiling above her, staying in a daze for a long time.
After staring for a long time, her eyes felt sour. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no more expression on her face.
“Credence, you have Rosalie, and I have my baby. That’s good, really good!”
However, her unwillingness was like a shadow that had attached itself to her bones. It continued to linger in the deepest parts of her heart.
