Chapter 46 She Is Just Easily Manipted
Despite pampering their daughter, David and Selena maintained their principles when it came to crucial
matters.
“Rosie,” David said seriously, “The hiring standards at Quirk Group can’t bepromised over someone’s status. Alex has already made enough concessions regarding this young man. When Be joined Quirk Group, she only established a small studio under a subsidiarypany, responsible for her own profits and losses. No one pulled strings for her and gave her ess to major entertainment industry investments. Otherwise, given that she is the CEO’s wife, why would she only be doing photoshoots and remain a D–list
model?”
Isabe wondered, <i>I </i>suppose I should take that as apliment right? <i>He’s </i>right. I <i>rely </i>entirely on my <i>good </i>looks to make a living. Without any professional skills, I certainly cant participate in any serious projects. Even then, I have remained professional during my photo shoots and never tarnished thepany’s reputation.
“Don’t bite off more than you can chew. What’s <b>wrong </b>with being <b>a </b>driver? He knows nothing, yet he dares. to dream of instant sess? Why can’t he understand that things need to be done step by step?” Selena stated solemnly.
Isabe thought, <i>If </i>Dominic had been the type to take things step by step, he would’ve had work experience by now. It’s his constant desire to achieve instant sess thatnded him in this situation.”
Isabe couldn’t help but disparage him in her mind. Regarding this matter, Isabe felt that Dominic was ipetent and that breaking up was, in fact, the best oue.
Listening to everyone’sments, Rosalie seemed to have <b>lost </b>all reasons to salvage the current situation! In the end, unable to bear it any longer, she ran out the door in tears and locked herself in her bedroom.
After learning that Dominic didn’t take the job after all, Alexander reached out to Isabe to inquire about Rosalie’s situation.
Isabe reported what happened candidly.
Alexander, however, didn’t show any reaction, simply stating. “I understand.”
Isabe felt somewhat sorry for Alexander. He had only tried to meddle a little in his sister’s affairs, yet he ended up in a whole lot of trouble.
“Anyway, both Mom and Dad think it’s Dominic’s fault Just focus on your work. Don’t worry about it anymore.”
There seemed to be a pause on the other end of the phone. “I’m not bothered by it. Such an oue was expected.”
Isabe wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but when Alexander said those words, she detected a hint of amusement in his tone<b>,</b>
Could it really <i>be </i><i>a </i>deliberate n to intimidate the other party into backing off? I never expected Alexander to be so
cunning.
At night, Rosalie still kept herself locked in her room.

Everyone gradually returned and heard about what had happened during the day.
Christopher let <b>out </b>a derisive snort.

“Breaking up without listening to exnations just proves that he’s a stubborn individual. Rosie has been so well protected by us that she’s too easily influenced by others. If that guy hadn’t looked down on the job of a driver, she wouldn’t have thought there was any issue. In my opinion, their breakup is a good thing. All we need is to give her some time, <b>and </b>she’ll naturallye to terms with it. Later, I’ll introduce her to some handsome guys from the entertainment industry. She can choose from all sorts, from bad boys to sweet guys. They’re all better than <b>that </b>punk for certain
Isabe had a sudden epiphany, rm bells ringing in her head. Her eyes lit up as she rattled off a list of names to Christopher. “Can I choose from among them?”
She fantasized, An Innocent–looking young man, a fierce–looking young man… Woohoo!
Christopher wondered, What? I’m choosing a guy for my sister, not for her. Why is she being so excited?
Suddenly, Christopher felt a chill in the air. He stole a <b>nce </b>and sure enough, Alexander’s had taken on a
dark hue.
What are doing?” Christopher asked on behalf of Alexander.
“Recently, I’ve been following their drama, they’re quite handsome. Seeing them in person is a real treat for the eyes,” Isabe said,ughing heartily.
Evian had also watched the drama. Upon hearing <b>this</b>, he nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Christopher was having none of it. “Given my and Alex’s looks, do you guys really need to feast your eyes on someone else?”
“It’s a matter of novelty,” Isabe said with a straight face.
She thought, No matter how handsome you two are, it’s pointless. The fun lies in teasing the shy, uptight hunks until their faces turn red. <i>These </i>fellows here have all shown off their upper bodies on TV, and their physiques are clearly well–toned. Who knows, there might even be a chance to feel those abs!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, causing the corners of her mouth to curl up ecstatically.
Evian responded, “Ahem! I’m going upstairs to check on Rosalie.
Christopher added, “I’ming <b>too</b>! How can that naughty girl skip dinner? <b>Is </b>she throwing a tantrum?” While the two of them were <b>talking</b>, the moved incredibly quickly.
Isabe wore <b>a </b>look of utter bewilderment.
Wait a minute, we haven’t decided <i>yet </i>on which cute guys to bring in to cheer up our girl, have we<b>?</b>
When she turned around, she found Alexander looking at her with an impassive expression. However, there was something about his <b>gaze </b>that seemed hostile.
Without giving it much thought, Isabe blinked <b>and </b>quickened her pace to catch up with the other <b>two</b><b>,</b>

Alexander let out a soft sigh. He was just about to leave when he heard the footsteps of his parents from behind.
David stepped forward, gently patting Alexander on the shoulder. “Ahem, everyone loves ogling at good- looking people, and young girls like to chase after celebrities. Although it’s normal for Be to do that, she might not be interested in you anymore if you continue to keep your distance from her.” Leaning in closer, David whispered into Alexander’s car, “You might end up losing your wife!”
Selena also stepped forward and nced sideways. “Even if we take a step back, can <b>you </b><b>say </b>you are not at fault? You can’t me Be. What kind of <b>husband </b>doesn’t allow his wife to touch him? She has no choice but to find a substitute.”
Alexander What did I say? <i>I </i>didn’t say anything at all! <i>She </i>has never even tried to do it! How does she know that I to let her touch me?
Unable to bear any further thought, Alexander felt as if his mind was being thrown into disarray. Upstairs, when Isabe arrived, she saw Christopher standing outside Rosalie’s door, fuming with anger. “Right, I simply don’t like <b>that </b>punk. I’m utterly against you two being together.”
A muffled voice echoed from within the room, <b>one </b><b>that </b>showed its desperation in defending something. “You… just because your rtionship didn’t work out, you can’t stand to see others happily in <b>love</b>, I even think you’re not worthy of Luna!”
“You!”
Isabe thought mercilessly, Rosalie, one: Christopher, zero.
Evian stepped in front of the livid Christopher, who was about to kick down door, and sighed, “Rosie, it’s Evie.”
In the room, the distraught Rosalie assumed her sister would take her side.
However, Evian couldn’t hold back and said, “Actually, I wasn’t really in favor of you and that guy. It’s not about being materialistic or clitist, but in a chauvinistic society, it’s hard to find a man who can tolerate a <b>woman </b>who is better <b>than </b>he is.”
up
Evian seemed to recall someone, her eyes gradually filling with disgust. She said, “If you two end together, he will undoubtedly face criticism and <b>injustice </b>in the future. In the end, he may most likely try to salvage his masculine pride by belittling and mistreating you.”
The moment Evian finished speaking, she heard Rosalie crying out, “Evie, you <b>can’t </b>just <b>assume </b>everyone Is like that just from your own experience.”
Evian said, “But judging by his behavior today, he’s definitely not the type who can keep his emotions in check. He isn’t willing to set aside <b>his </b>price for your sake.”
“You were too harsh on him. You can’t hold him to such high standards. I’m the one going <b>out </b>with <b>him</b><b>, </b>not you! Didn’t you give your all in the rtionship back then? Why is it not eptable when it’s my turn?”
<b>Evian </b><b>was </b>left speechless.

Isabe thought again, Evian versus Rosalie. Rosalie emerges victorious.

Evian and Christopher both turned to look at Isabe, their faces wearing indescribable expressions. Then, in a silent agreement, they gestured toward Isabe, inviting her to give it a try.
Isabe thought, <i>I </i>don’t want to get involved. It’s so easy to get caught up in the throes of a first love, obsessing over every little detail, and no amount of talking can change that. Besides, it was Dominic <i>who </i>initiated the break–up. Given the extent of his pride, there’s no way he would reconsider. What’s the point in offeringfort when the oue is already set?
Suddenly, Rosalie could be heard wailing through the door.
Evian and Christopher thought, Rosalie versus Isabe. Isabe wins!
In the following week, Rosalie stayed at home<b>, </b>nursing her broken heart alone. Though she <b>was </b>still deeply upset, she wasn’t one to hold grudges and had long since reconciled with her family. However, there were no signs of a possible reconciliation with Dominic. When the school term began, she reluctantly packed. up her suitcase and returned to her dorm room.
A monthter, while enjoying her afternoon coffee in the backyard, Selena suddenly received a phone call.
“Hey, hello, it’s me… Prof. Wilcox, we haven’t been in touch for a while. What happened?” Selena, who <b>had </b>been all smiles, suddenly wore a grim expression. “What? You’re saying Rosie gave up on applying for the international exchange student program? How could this be, we didn’t hear anything about it?”Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
“Alright, alright, I understand,” Selena responded hastily. “I’ll seek her out and ask her. Thank you for your concern, Prof. Wilcox. Without wasting another moment, she immediately made a phone call.
Evian was also anxiously waiting on the side. After all, that program was the primary reason her sister chose that school in the first ce. Regardless of the hardship, she had always strived to maintain her position in the professional rankings. How could she possibly <b>give </b>up the opportunity to further her studies at the arts academy overseas?
Upon answering the <b>call</b>, she was surprised to hear a man’s voice. “What kind of caller ID is this? Who are you?”
“Wait… Isn’t this my daughter, Rosalie’s phone number?”
Rosalie used world–renowned paintings for the caller ID of family members, making it hard for others to tell who they were.
No sooner had Selena finished speaking than the other party hung up.
Immediately, Selena became anxious<b>, </b>thinking that something had happened to Rosalie.
Isabe thought, What <i>the </i><i>f</i>*ck? It’s only been a short while <i>since </i>I’ve <i>check</i>, and I’ve just missed out on a ton of information that’s going on? This is outrageous!
Due to being overwhelmed by shock, Isabe didn’t notice that the two people beside her had turned their gazes toward her.
Isabe wondered, Could it be that Rosalie has actually learned to keep secrets from her family? She reconciled with Dominic three weeks ago. The reason she gave up her opportunity to study abroad was because Dominic <b>was </b><b>against </b>long–distance rtionships. <i>He </i>had made it clear that if she decided to go abroad, they would break up. Hence, Rosalie
