Chapter 47 Are You Going To Hit Me Upon hearing Isabellaâs thoughts, the usually goodânatured Selena and Evian were outraged.
This time there wasnât even time to inform the men at home. She immediately pulled Isabella along and headed straight to the university.
The moment she stepped out of the car at the school gate, she received a call back from Rosalie. This saved them the trouble of having to look for each other With her phone in hand, Selena was trembling. After all, her obedient and sensible daughter had suddenly become deceitful one day, as if she had turned into a completely different person. Who could possibly accept that?
Evian took the phone and switched it to speaker mode, immediately piquing Isabellaâs curiosity as she promptly leaned in.
âMom, were you looking for me?â
Rosalie thought, âSurprisingly, Rosalieâs voice is so calm, it seems she has been deeply brainwashed.â Naturally, this version of Rosalie was even more unacceptable to her mother and sister.
âWho just answered your phone?â Selena asked outright âIt was a male classmate.â
âWhich one?â
âMom, what are you doing â Rosalieâs voice held a hint of annoyance, as if she was tired of her motherâs overbearing control. She was completely oblivious to the fact that she had already been exposed by Isabella.
âYouâ¦â Selena was practically seething with anger.
âRosie, where are you now?â Evian asked directly.
âEvie? 1⦠Iâm at the universityâs art studio.â
Isabella thought, Huh? Feeling guilty? Lying?
heâs on a date with Dominic me seeâ¦
spoke cold tone. âWeâre right outside your school. Since youâre in the art studio, go to Prof. Wilcoxâs office within ten minutes. Weâll be waiting for you there!â
âEvie!â Rosalie was immediately flustered. Upon hearing Carmen Wilcox being mentioned, she naturally knew the secret was out âHow⦠How could you guys come without telling me?â
âArenât you guilty of not informing us?â Evian retorted in a stern tone expected of an elder sister. âBe here in ten minutes.â
After finishing, she ended the call. He then guided Selena into the campus Isabella thought, Iâm afraid she wonât make it in ten minute 1/4 +5 Free Coms Evian figured that Rosalie was probably on a date, likely somewhere offâcampus. The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she felt.
All of a sudden, she heard the trailing Isabellaâs thoughts again.
Sheâs currently tidying up her rental place.
Evian and Selena stopped in their tracks, exchanging looks of disbelief.
It wasnât hard to imagine that it had to be Dominicâs rented apartment. Typically, at this time. Rosalie would be in her studio, brush in hand and lost in her artwork. She would be so engrossed in her work that she wouldnât notice if she had paint smeared on her face.
What is she doing now?
Isabella thought. Is she out of her mind?
Evian and Selena thought, Isnât it obvious? Love has thoroughly clouded her judgment.
However, in the next moment, they realized how naive they were. The situation that could drive Isabella to declare someone mad was a lot more complicated than that.
Isabella thought, It turns out that Rosalie didnât just get back together with Dominic, she has even moved out of the dormitory and is cohabitating with Dominic!
The revelation blew everyoneâs mind.
Selenaâs legs gave out from under her.
âMom!â Evian exclaimed in shock, quickly rushing to support her mother.
Isabella, who was idly passing the time in the system, saw what was happening and quickly stepped forward to lend a hand.
She thought, Who would have thought that Rosalieâs decision not to study abroad would hit Selena so hard? If she found out that Rosalie did it for that punk and they had reconciled and were even living together, she might just fit and end up in the hospital!â
Selena truly overwhelmed, her voice trembling he spoke to Evian. âGo⦠Go to Rosieâs dormitory. and help her move out â
Isabella thought, Moving out of dormitory is a good decision. Selena must have sensed that there is something wrong with Rosalie She needs to take Rosalie home and educate her properly.
Evian Subsequently, Isabella accompanied Selena to meet Carmen a middleâaged woman.
Out of her appreciation for talent and the status of the family, Carmen special consideration to Rosalie and wanted to advise the latter against her irrational decision. That why she contacted Selena.
Carmen a sharp individual herself, began dropping hits to Selena the moment they met, subtly 2/4 E O Chapter 47 Are You Going To Hit Me inquiring if Rosalie was in a relationship.
.
âEver since she returned from her last field study, sheâs been out of sorts. Lately, she hasnât been focusing on her paintings, her assignments are always delayed, and Iâve occasionally seen a boy picking her up⦠Of course, itâs normal for her to be dating at this age, but she canât let it jeopardize her future. After all, sheâs a highly gifted artist.â
Selenaâs face was ashen. âYouâre right. Rest assured, if this child has strayed, we will certainly guide her back onto the right path.â
Originally, they were waiting for Rosalie to arrive. However, Evian had finished with the paperwork and arrived before Rosalie finally showed up, panting heavily, âMom, Evie, Bella, Prof. Wilcox,â Rosalie greeted, her manners intact. However, the expressions everyoneâs faces as they looked at her were far from pleasant, especially those of Selena and Evian.
Pointing to the application form on the table, Selena said, âYouâve already met all the criteria required by your university. You should fill out the application form now.â
Rosalieâs expression shifted slightly before she finally spoke up, âMom, Iâm an adult now. Iâm free to choose my own path in life. I donât want to go.â
Upon hearing such words, Selena felt that she was way passed her boiling point, her anger settling into an eerie . âSo, youâre willing to give up on the dream you have been chasing for years just because of some punk?â.
Rosalieâs face turned pale. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Isabellaâs thoughts. It seems that Selena has already guessed it. As a woman, she naturally knows that the thing that can shatter a womanâs strong will and cause a drastic change in her temperament in a short period of time is a manâs sweet talk.
The words Rosalie had on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.
Evianâs voice rang out. âRosie, I just visited your dorm. Thereâs dust everywhereâon the desk⦠on the bed. Did you really think you could keep this from your family? No wonder you havenât been home on the weekends for the past three weeks. We thought you were immersed in your work. Rosie, youâve truly disappointed Rosalieâs face turned ashen in an instant. Living with a man was already a monumental challenge for a wellâbehaved girl like her. Now that she had been exposed, she was genuinely frightened to the point of trembling.
âItâs not⦠I didnât mean to hide it from you all, itâs justâ¦
Isabella thought, When you two reconciled, Dominic had mentioned family would do everything in power to separate you, hence he advised you to keep it from your family. She is indeed obedient, not even worried about the possibility of encountering someone with ill intentions. Surprisingly, when it came down to choosing between her family of twenty years and her of one month, she chose the boyfriend.
Rosalie was left utterly ashamed by Isabellaâs mockery, insure of how to react.
Upon hearing this truth, Selena and Evian wore incredibly gloomy expressions, âSo, even after what happened last time, you havent come to your senses? You still believe weâre making things difficult for you and that young hooliga?â Selena lamented.

3/4 Chapter 47 Are You Going To Hit Me âHe isnât a hooligan. All of you just have the wrong impression.â
No sooner Rosalieâs voice risen her motherâs hand was already in the air, poised to strike. If it werenât for Evianâs intervention, the elegant Selena would have slapped her precious daughter at that very .
âMom, letâs deal with this matter first. We can deal with Rosie back home.â
Rosalie was taken aback, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. âMom, are you going to hit me?â
Growing up, even Alexander had been scolded, but never Rosalie. This was her first time seeing her mother so furious at her, and she was completely stunned.
Tears welled up in Selenaâs eyes. She truly wanted to knock some sense into her daughter.
do suddenly like I donât recognize this daughter of mine, even after I had struggled so hard to give birth to hert Meanwhile, Carmen intervened to ease the tense atmosphere. âWhy donât we let Rosalie submit her application first? Tomorrow is the deadline, any later and it would be too late.â
Quickly, Evian gave Rosalie a nudge. âGo, donât make Mom angry anymore.â
However, Rosalie merely swayed slightly. She stood firm, refusing to budge.
