Rosalie's voice was tinged with resigned sorrow. She had no energy to scold him or get mad at Theodore, and every word she said
was drenched with helplessness.
"I have a question for you that | hope you'll answer honestly," Theodore said.
"What is it?" Rosalie asked. "Letgo before we talk."
It wasn't appropriate for him to be holding her like this in public.
Theodore let go of her arm. "Rose, tellthe truth. Did you tell Sebastian to leave?"
His question was neither interrogative nor asked in anger. He simply wanted to know the answer to it.
Rosalie's eyes flashed with doubt when she heard his question. She understood every word he spoke, but when strung together in
the question, she didn't seem toprehend at all.

Was he interrogating her?
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean | told him to leave?" she shot back.
"Did you already know what Sebastian did and thought that | would cause him trouble, so you told him to leave?"
Rosalie chuckled. "Do you know what you're saying? | only knew what he did when you showedthe video evidence. What
you're saying makes it sound like | was in cahoots with him to flee the country."
She had no clue what gave him such a thought.
Theodore clenched his fists and stared at her in silence. Rosalie suddenly found it hilarious.
"Why did you even have such a thought? Were you unable to find out who leaked the information no matter how hard you rack
your brain, so you thought of me? That | must have known about it beforehand?" she said sardonically.
"Did you do it or not? Rose, | just want an honest answer from you," Theodore pressed.
Rosalie was speechless.
"Theodore Spencer, you're a joke," she finally said. "I don't want to say anything to you."
If that was what he truly thought, there was no point in her explaining anything. She would leave him to think whatever he wanted.
With that, Rosalie turned to leave.
Theodore grabbed her arm once more.
"Wait." He stopped her from leaving and pleaded, "Tellthe truth, please?"
"Letgo," Rosalie said. No matter how much she struggled against his hold, he refused to let her go.

Suddenly, Rosalie slapped him hard.
"Theodore Spencer, are you quite done?"
Not far away, Aurora was hiding in a corner. She had wanted to rush forward to stop Theodore from getting slapped, but at the next
moment, she stopped herself.
She couldn't do that. She couldn't head out right now.
All she did was stay where she was, her heart aching as she looked at Theodore. Fury and pain filled her eyes as she watched on.
Rosalie had barely managed topose herself when Theodore's words agitated her once more. She almost burst out laughing.
"Theodore Spencer, you're simply laughable! What do you mean, you ive me? Who told you | was the one who told Sebastian
to leave? Did you think of that yourself?"
Rosalie was in utter disbelief.
Theodore's heart leaped. "Impossible. Aurora would never do that."
Listening to him mention Aurora's name, realization dawned upon Rosalie.
