Chapter 238
The more he looked, the more Edward thought they looked alike. The more he thought, the more he was reminded of the humiliation he felt when he first entered the Talley family.

So, at that moment, the way Edward looked at Rosalie, there was an unmistakable hint of resentment and humiliation in his gaze, especially since, throughout the entire process, Rosalie remained indifferent.
Edward clenched his fist and continued, “Do you understand what I mean?”
Rosalie put down her coffee cup and lazily glanced at Edward. The look in her eyes was full of contempt, as if she were looking down on him.
“Can you stop with the small talk and just tell me why you’re here?”
A flash of anger crossed Edward’s eyes, then he took out his phone and sent a few video clips to Rosalie’s hand. Rosalie opened them. They were videos of her teaching.
She thought, ‘No wonder Helena has been so quiet these past few days. Turns out, she’s been secretly playing this card with me.’
“These videos are proof of your teaching at Hawthorne University. If I send these to the parents of the students there, what do you think will happen?”
Rosalie calmly took another sip of her coffee and even “insanely” enjoyed the view of the busy street outside.
It seemed that for her, discussing such disgusting topics with Edward was far less interesting than watching the mundane traffic outside.
Rosalie’s indifferent attitude only made Graham Wenyang grind his teeth in anger.
Seeing that Rosalie didn’t respond, he could only continue, “My request is simple. Give me all the shares your mother left you. In exchange, I’ll return all these videos.”
After saying that, he confidently looked at Rosalie, expecting her to give in.
In fact, he had already planned how to get back at the Talley family and Rosalie for the humiliation they had caused him once he got his hands on those shares.
Rosalie said nothing, but her eyes showed a hint of pity.
She thought, ‘Silly old man. Ever since I kicked him out, his mind has started to lose clarity!
Edward anxiously waited for Rosalie to speak, but after a few minutes, she still didn’t say anything. His heart sank a little.
Seeing Rosalie finish the last sip of her coffee without even bothering to respond, she stood up and walked out.
“Rosalie, you’re really not afraid I’ll send these videos to those parents?” Seeing Rosalie walk off without a word, Edward panicked. Before he came here, he had been so confident that she would give in to him, but now, his anxiety was rising.
Rosalie turned to look back at him, letting out a soft laugh before saying, “Sure, I can give them to you. How much are you willing to pay?”
The moment Edward heard the mention of money, his face darkened.
He thought, ‘She’s my daughter, and she has the audacity to ask me for money? If I were willing to pay, would I need to go through all this pretending and negotiation?
Rosalie noticed his grim expression. Even though she already knew how shameless her father was, she still asked with a feigned innocence, “You don’t expect to get everything worth billions of dollars from me without paying a penny, do you?”
Edward paused for a second. Since they had already torn off the mask, he no longer cared about saving face. He coldly sneered and said, “Am I negotiating with you, Rosalie? Now I have the upper hand. You can only listen to me. Got it?”
Rosalie scoffed, glanced at the bright spring sunshine outside, and said, “On a bright sunny day like this, it’s really perfect for daydreaming.
Her blatant sarcasm made Edward’s gaze turn icy. Seeing that Rosalie was about to leave again, he couldn’t sit still anymore. “Rosalie, do you really thank Fin just trying to scare you?”
