Chapter 33 Helena could no longer hold back her emotions .
Covering her mouth with her hand , she let out a muffled sob .
Julian , do you really hate me ? +5 Her eyes , rimmed red , shimmered with unshed tears as she bit her lower lip , looking at Julian with a pitiful expression .
Her voice was soft , trembling slightly , as if she had just been abandoned by a heartless lover .
Seated beside them , Rosalie watched the scene unfold in silence , but inwardly , she couldnt help rolling her eyes .
Julians response was brief and cutting .

Sorry , but were not that close .
The meaning was clear Helena wasnt even worth his dislike .
Helena had always been sensitive since she was little , and there was no way she could miss the implication .
The moment the words left Julians mouth , her body swayed unsteadily , as if the blow had drained all strength from her limbs .
She had foolishly assumed that since Julian was technically her fathers son in law , he would at least show some restraint , that he wouldnt be too cruel with his words .
Clearly , she had overestimated his emotional intelligence .

Helena clenched her jaw , forcibly swallowing down the burning resentment that threatened to consume her .
Deep down , she wanted nothing more than to tear Rosalie apart , limb by limb .
If it werent for Rosalie , Julian would never treat me like this , she thought bitterly .
Her fingers curled into fists , her sharp nails digging so deep into her palms that they left crescent shaped marks .
Only when the sharp sting of pain registered did she snap back to reality , realizing that her face was already streaked with tears .
Claudia , ever the opportunist , had a keen sense of when to retreat .

She could tell that their family wasnt gaining any ground here if anything , they were only making Julian more displeased .
So , without hesitation , she reached out and gently grasped Helenas hand in silent consolation .
But her voice remained smooth and composed , as if she were the perfect mediator .
Alright , Edward , its just a little misunderstanding between the kids .
Helena isnt even holding a grudge , so why are you still making such a fuss ? Hearing that , Rosalie lifted her eyes , glancing at Claudia with a faint , amused smirk that didnt quite reach her eyes .
