Chapter 696:
Rosalee was unusually calm. She didn’t pretend to be the meek girl, as she usually did, and this surprised Hans a
lot. In the past, Rosalee had always been too cutesy, which made him never actually like her. But of course, he
never openly expressed his dislike for her.
After all, they both got what they needed from the relationship, and that was what mattered. Hans needed a
famous and obedient girlfriend, and Rosalee played that role well. They had easily reached an agreement, signed

biting it, causing her intense pain.

security team intervened, and only then did the situation cunder control.
Despite the commotion outside, Norah remained unaffected and composed as she stayed in the emergency
department office. She wasn’t sure how Rosalee was doing after the treatment and wondered if she would return
for the scheduled follow-up checkup next week.
Norah hadn't expected to interact with Dolores again, but to her surprise, she suddenly saw her in the hospital.
