Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 187 Richard's Sudden Heart Attack Rosaline's POV: 78% Finished A shiver coursed throughas I knitted my brows, locking eyes with Caden's cold stare without backing down.

Did he truly return from Tessa's place so easily? Was his fury because I suggested calling off the engagement before he could? Now, the whole world knows that I was the one who ended things with him. Is his pride so wounded that he's this enraged? Hah! Shouldn't he actually be relieved? I was the one who proposed ending our engagement, which means he can openly be with Tessa.

On top of that, since I initiated the breakup, no one would accuse him of being disloyal.

Ker mus the breakup, no one would accuse kit So why is he acting so furious? As he strode towardwith a frigid expression, a smirk tugged at my lips, laced with mockery.

with Before I could utter a word, a sudden force clamped around my wrist.

"You..." My reaction ctoo late. Caden had already seized my wrist and yankedto Hounge, pinningagainst the wall.

"Caden, let go!" Trapped in his grip, frustration exploded from within me.

rd the backstage Summoning my strength, I shoved him back a few paces.

He stared atin shock, his dark eyes flickering with both anger and disbelief.

Clearly, he was too consumed by his own fury to realize that I had just unleashed my Alpha strength.

His intense gaze locked onto mine, his voice rough with a hint of darkness. "Rosaline, why? "Why did you call off the engagement?" Caden repeated when I remained silent.

The look in his eyes stirred something deep withinfor a fleeting moment.

I lowered my head, shutting my eyes as the image of Caden embracing Tessa earlier that afternoon resurfaced in my mind.

A sharp pain twisted in my chest.

Taking a slow breath, I opened my eyes, my voice sounding cold and unfamiliar even to myself. "Why? Shouldn't you already know the reason?" Caden hesitated. “Is it because of Tessa? Didn't I tell you I would explain everything about her?" 1/3 Tue, Chapter 187 Richard's Sudden Heart Attack A bitter smile tugged at my lips.

The truth was right in front of me. What more was there to say? 78% Finished At that moment, Mr. Richard entered the lounge, leaning on his cane, supported by Leslie.

"Caden, Rosie, what exactly is going on here?" His tone was both stern and anxious, his expression grave. "Grandpa." Caden moved to assist him.

"Did you do something to hurt Rosie?" Mr. Richard's face darkened as he tapped his cane against the floor, his voice carrying an unmistakable chill.

Before Caden could respond, Eleanor appeared, clearing her throat. "Dad, why are you blaming Caden?" She paused for a moment before shootinga fierce glare. "It's obvious that Rosaline is the one responsible for this mess! A country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin, completely ignorant of proper etiquette! On such a significant occasion, if you want to humiliate yourself, fine-but why drag our Eclipse Pack into it?" Queenie chimed in, "Exactly! How could Caden possibly have done anything to upset Rosaline? Today was supposed to be a perfectly smooth engagement ceremony, yet she caused such a ridiculous scene and utterly embarrassed us all!" As Eleanor and Queenie chattered nonstop, Mr. Richard furrowed his brows and clutched his chest. His gaze landed onas he asked, "Rosie, explain to us, what really happened?" "Mr. Richard, I truly appreciate your concern all this time, but I must call off my engagement to Caden today," I stated firmly, pressing my lips together.

"Rosie, is this because of Caden ... " Mr. Richard began, but before he could finish, he suddenly grabbed his chest, his expression twisting in agony.

Thud! A loud sound echoed as Mr. Richard collapsed onto the floor.

"Grandpa! Grandpa, what's wrong?" Caden rushed over in a flash, attempting to catch him, but he was too slow.

I stood frozen in shock.

Mr. Richard's face had turned ghostly pale, beads of sweat covering his forehead, and his eyes were tightly shut.

"Grandpa, what's happening?" Caden knelt beside him, shouting in panic.

But there was no response.

"Somebody call an ambulance!" Caden's voice rang out urgently.

A crowd quickly formed, and the entire lounge turned chaotic.

My chest tightened as I stared at Mr. Richard lying motionless on the ground.

His symptoms looked like a sudden heart attack.

I wanted to rush forward and assist him, but Eleanor and Queenie m blocked my path: 'Rosaline, haven't ed you done enough harm to Grandpa? What more do you want?" "Move aside!" I said icily.

Mr. Richard's condition was dire. I needed to administer first aid before the paramedics arrived.

The outccould be disastrous if I didn't act quickly.

Mr. Richard was an Alpha, and I was the only one who knew how to provide him with emergency care.

However, Queenie scoffed, her expression icy as she refused to move. "Rosaline, who you think you are? Now that you and Caden are no longer engaged, you're nothing! You have no right to go near Grandpa!" "Step aside!" I snapped. There was no tto argue, so I shoved her out of my way.

"Ah!" Queenie yelped as she hit the floor, shootinga furious glare. "Rosaline, how dare you lay a hand on me?" I ignored her, but she suddenly grabbed my leg, refusing to let go.

Eleanor and Queenie clung tolike wild beasts, trying to restrain me.

Frustrated, I used force to break free from their grip and pushed through the gathering crowd, finally reaching Mr. Richard. I knelt beside him and stretched out my hand to check his pulse-only for Caden's strong hand to block me.

"Rosaline, what do you think you're doing?" His voice was sharp, his eyes cold and accusing.
