Whispers of Destiny: His Belated Love novel Chapter 91

Rosemary's comment was initially just a dig at Maxwell, but the guy didn't get all riled up like she imagined. He just looked at her and said coolly, "How do you know no one's got your back if you never try?”

?? Was this dude off his rocker again?

She grinned and warily edged back a few steps, thinking, "Help, there's a creep in the house."

As Maxwell saw her like that, his face darkened in an instant, "What do you mean?"

Rosemary chucked the plate she was holding onto the table, “I'm staying away from you before your crazy is contagious and I start jabbering like a lunatic too.”

She spun around and headed for the restroom. Just as she stepped out of a stall, she was blocked by a group of people.

"Rosemary, we're old classmates. How come you don't hang out with us anymore?" The ringleader was Crystal's BFF and a college mate, as were the others following her.

But not from the same department, not tight. Rosemary raised an eyebrow and smirked coldly, "What, you guys here to help Crystal get the video back?"

Shirley crossed her arms and looked down on her arrogantly, "Crystal kindly invited you to the party, and you repay her by spreading these wild accusations. Hand over the video."

"Calling me a liar on one hand and asking for the video on the other, you can't hide the truth just by covering your ears. Tell Crystal, if I don't see her publicly apologize in ten minutes, I'm gonna have a chat with Bernard."

She yawned. If it weren't for Pearl's request, she wouldn't have even bothered showing up. Sticking around this long was the most respect she could muster for an old classmate.

On her way out of the restroom, as Rosemary walked past Shirley, she was suddenly blocked, "Since you refused to do it the easy way, guess I have no choice but to be sorry about this."

She gestured to the others, "Tie her up and toss her in the stall."

The group slowly closed in on Rosemary.

Shirley continued, "Back in college, your recklessness could be chalked up to naivety, but after battling it out in the real world for this long, still not knowing your place, I can only call you stupid. You think you can threaten Crystal just by flapping your gums?"

She leaned in close to Rosemary, oozing disdain, "It's bad enough being dumb, but vain too? Can’t believe you orchestrated a scheme to sell your own graduation project at a high price and then donated the money to the school. If I were you, I'd be too ashamed to show my face after being exposed like that in public. And we have Victoria to thank for broadcasting this whole fiasco."

Back when Rosemary's grad project was displayed at Greenwood University, it sold for a record price. Everyone was shocked, even more so when she donated all the money to help poor students. She never meant to make it public, but Rosemary went around trumpeting the news and even convinced the university administration to hang a banner at the school entrance, supposedly to honor her.

Before long, the truth came out that it was all staged by herself. One could imagine the fall from grace, from the pinnacle to being the target of everyone's scorn!

Now, Rosemary was encircled by the group. She cracked her knuckles. It looked like she'd have to throw some punches to get out today.

Shirley added, "Snatch her phone. Without it, let's see how she,"

Before she could finish, Rosemary's foot sent her flying back a few steps! Shirley instantly went pale, doubled over clutching her stomach, "Rosemary, you dare hit me!"

"I hit you, so what? What are you, a cactus that can't be touched?"
