Chapter 128
It seemed like every time he arrived, it was at the wrong moment. At that moment, everyone in the Graham family was focused on Rosalie and Riley, so no one noticed Julian’s arrival. Julian stopped the servant who was about to alert him and casually leaned against the entrance, watching the interesting scene unfold.
Riley’s face was dark with anger; his neck veins bulged as he held back his rage. He glared at Rosalie, clenching his teeth and remaining silent.
“Do you understand?” Rosalie repeated, stamping her foot on Riley’s face again and grinding it back and forth.
Julian was momentarily stunned. He instinctively touched his own face, as if that foot would eventually end up on his.
Riley felt as if his nasal bones were about to be crushed, and tears welled up in his eyes from the pain. Finally, he had no choice but to admit defeat through gritted teeth. “I understand.”
Only then did Rosalie remove her foot from Riley’s face and turn back to the people at the dining table, who had been terrified into silence. She curled her lips into a smile. “Do you all understand?”
The group, their faces pale with fear, remained silent, looking both angry and helpless, which Rosalie found rather amusing.
“Huh?” Rosalie said again, emphasizing her words.
This time, the group, fearing that Rosalie might take out her anger on Riley, quickly nodded and reluctantly replied, “We understand.”
When Riley finally got up and moved away from Rosalie, Phyllis came fully to her senses. Seeing her beloved grandson beaten and bruised by Rosalie, she felt both heartbroken and furious.
