Putting on a pitiful expression, she spoke up with feigned hurt. “Kaleb, what exactly is your relationship with her? Why are you always defending her?”
Those words were venomous, clearly meant to plant a seed of doubt in Julian’s mind. Even if Kaleb and Rosalie were completely innocent, the implication of such a question would still make Julian question Rosalie.
Besides, if Anya found out about any of this, Rosalie would be toast, and she could never choose to stay.
Kaleb’s face immediately turned stormy, and his eyes turned sharp as ice as he looked at Roseanne.
Kaleb was known as the calmest and most well–mannered guy among the aristocratic families. He rarely lost his temper, no matter how much someone provoked him.
But Roseanne’s insinuation hit a nerve. Kaleb’s glare was cold and cutting, his fury unmasked. Even though he never usually displayed his anger openly, it was clear he was beyond upset.
Though Roseanne knew Kaleb wouldn’t be mad at her, she felt the heat rise in her chest and instinctively shrank back, stepping closer to Julian.
“I’m not going to explain our relationship to you because you don’t deserve to know,” Kaleb shot back, his voice low and filled with contempt.
He then turned to Julian and said, “Man, it’s your private thing. I don’t want to meddle in. If you actually like someone like her, I seriously question your judgment.”
Kaleb’s words were sharp, and apparently, he was so furious that he lost all his usual composure. This wasn’t just about defending Rosalie; he made sure to humiliate Roseanne in front of everyone.
Roseanne’s face turned bright red with fury and embarrassment. Her anger was obvious, but she couldn’t show it too strongly in front of Julian, so she held it in, letting a small sob escape. “Kaleb, I haven’t done anything to you, have I? Why are you siding with that woman?”
