The two of them had purposely chosen a table not too far away from Rose’s.
Even after insulting her earlier, they had continued glancing in her direction while quietly making mocking comments as they watched her eat.
Now, they were leisurely enjoying bowls of the restaurant’s simple chicken soup.
Rose stopped beside their table.
The shadow she cast over them made both Emily and William look up.
“Are you two seriously that jobless?” Rose asked coldly, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
“I didn’t have your time before but now I did.”
Before either of them could react…
Rose reached forward without the slightest hesitation.
She grabbed William’s bowl of steaming chicken soup.
Splash!
The entire bowl was overturned onto the table directly in front of him, sending the soup spilling across the tabletop and soaking part of his clothes.
William immediately shot to his feet.
His face filled with fury.
The loud commotion instantly drew the attention of nearly everyone inside the restaurant.
Students who had been chatting among themselves stopped eating and turned toward the source of the disturbance.
Most of them didn’t even know who Rose was yet.
“Are you insane, Rose?!” William roared, glaring at her with eyes burning with rage.
Rose remained perfectly calm.
“No,” she replied coolly.
“You’re the insane one.”
She folded her arms across her chest.
“And unbelievably rude.”
Without sparing William another glance, she shifted her attention toward Emily.
“So…” Rose began with a faint smile.
“Are the two of you sleeping together too?”
Emily’s eyes widened.
Rose continued before either of them could interrupt.
“I thought Ava was your fiancée now.”
Her smile became even colder.
“So why are you here having such an intimate lunch with another woman?”
William slammed his hand heavily against the table.
“Don’t you dare say things like that about me, Rose!” he shouted, his voice echoing throughout the restaurant.
His chest rose and fell violently as he turned toward the surrounding students.
By now, almost everyone had already taken out their phones.
Several students had even begun recording the confrontation.
It was a hot gist and the academy is known for spreading hot gist fast.
“Don’t pay any attention to this fool!” William announced loudly, forcing out a confident smile.
“She’s only bitter because she lost her position as the heiress of the Hart family.”
He pointed directly at Rose.
“She’s angry because I dumped her and chose the real heiress instead.”
A scoff escaped Rose’s lips.
“You dumped me?” she repeated in disbelief.
She slowly took out her phone.
After a few taps, she opened the matching forum before turning the screen toward the students nearby.
“Take a good look, everyone.”
She scrolled through the page before holding it higher.
“I am matched with five partners.”
“Every single match had one hundred percent compatibility and are all from good families. Only people from good family can look for a match on the matching forum anyways.”
She looked directly into William’s eyes.
“And you honestly think I’d still want to settle for someone as pathetic as you?”
“What a joke.”
William’s expression immediately darkened.
“Stop recording!” he yelled, pointing frantically at the surrounding students.
“Put your phones away!”
But no one listened.
If anything, even more students raised their phones to capture the dramatic scene unfolding before them.
Rose looked at him with complete disgust.
“You’re nothing but a scumbag,” she said without hesitation.
“You claimed you ended our engagement because the real daughter of the Hart family returned.”
She paused briefly.
“But the truth is much simpler.”
Her voice became even colder.
“You spent your heat cycle with her hence you both had to become engaged to each other.”
She folded her arms.
“If that doesn’t make you a scumbag…”
“…then I honestly don’t know what does.”
Rose then turned toward Emily.
“And what about you?” she asked.
“Are you two planning to spend your heat cycle together so that you can become engaged?…”
“…will the two of you spend your heat cycle together while he’s still engaged to Ava? I’m sure your family richer than the Hart family anyways hence I believe Williams will want to become your fiancee.”
Her lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.
“Actually…”
She shrugged.
“I’m not even surprised.”
“That’s exactly the kind of thing scumbags do. Good luck to you two.”
Neither William nor Emily could find the words to respond.
Their faces alternated between anger and embarrassment as countless phones continued recording them from every direction.
Having said everything she wanted to say, Rose no longer spared either of them another glance.
She simply turned around.
Returning briefly to her table, she collected the neatly packed bag containing her leftover food and slung her handbag over her shoulder.
Without looking back even once, she calmly walked toward the restaurant’s exit.
