All Chapters of Falling Into Her Trap of Addiction: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The message came from an unknown number.Rosalie tapped it open absentmindedly, only to see an explicit photo.It was a picture of Simon, asleep on a bed. His half-naked body left little doubt about what had just happened."You haven't slept with him yet, have you?"Rosalie didn't need a name to know who sent it. She immediately dialed the number.The call was picked up almost instantly. A smug voice came through the line. "I knew you'd call me.""You said if I didn't forgive you, you wouldn't be with him.""It's not like I had a choice. He kept coming after me," Ivory replied.Hearing the smugness in the voice on the other end, Rosalie pressed her lips together. "I don't care about whatever's going on between you two.""Rosie, you're really good at acting."Ivory continued bitterly, "I honestly thought when you moved out of the Johnson residence, you were serious about cutting ties with Simon. I didn't think you were pulling that hard-to-get game. You thought moving out woul

Simon looked at Joseph and continued, "I've always treated Rosalie like a sister. If she doesn't like something, you can't force it on her. Respect her. And if you can't give her that, then stay away from her."Simon's words hung in the air—respect her. Without a moment's pause, Joseph nodded firmly. "Got it."Rosalie wasn't like other women. Whether it was out of respect for Simon or their childhood history, if she ever agreed to be his girlfriend, he would treat her right.Simon picked up another glass of wine.Graham's gaze flicked over to Simon. The latter had his eyes lowered, giving nothing away. No one could tell what he was really thinking.Just then, Graham's phone rang in his pocket. He took it out, glanced at the screen, and quickly answered, "Yes, Gideon?""We need a fourth. Get over here."The voice on the other end was demanding.Graham responded immediately, "On my way." His tone was all too eager, like a servant seeing his master. No one in the room batted an

"Si, I thought you said Rosalie's boyfriend was just a teaching assistant. Why did Graham say otherwise? He said Rosalie's boyfriend isn't someone I can afford to offend. He also told me not to bring trouble upon myself!" Joseph replied."Did he tell you who Rosalie's boyfriend is?""Graham didn't tell who the guy was. He just told me not to make a move on Rosalie."Not to make a move on Rosalie, huh?Sneering, Simon grabbed his phone and called Graham. Alas, the call didn't go through—his phone was turned off. Clearly, Graham was keeping the information from Simon on purpose!That being said, Simon had met Rosalie's boyfriend the other day. The guy had gone upstairs with her. Why else would she move in with that man if he weren't her boyfriend? Did he have some kind of hidden identity?Immediately, Simon made another call. "Look into this again!"…When Melinda came to the boutique, Rosalie was helping a customer with a fitting, so Melinda enjoyed some refreshments while she w

"Melinda, didn't you say we'd be wearing matching mother-daughter outfits?" Rosalie asked."We can do that next time. The gown you're wearing now looks even better!" Melinda declared while admiring Rosalie's ensemble with a look of satisfaction.In her eyes, Rosalie was the prettiest young woman in the world and worthy of receiving all the best things in life. The thought of Rosalie becoming her daughter soon gave her true joy.Truth be told, Rosalie felt rather conflicted about everything, but she could see the gentle and loving smile on Melinda's face. She was reluctant to lose such comforting warmth.Instead of a hotel, the Johnsons held their dinner party at the Johnson residence. As Melinda had previously told Rosalie, she only invited those she was well-acquainted with, people whom Rosalie knew as well.Every family in the upper echelon of society held dinner parties like these. The entire social circle participated in this culture. It was as common and familiar as an ordina

Most of the guests present heard the commotion. Pausing their conversations, they focused their attention on Simon and Ivory."What do you mean by that? What on earth happened?" Simon questioned Ivory with a frown.Ivory's tears were streaming down her face as she repeated what she'd heard earlier. Eyes red with fury, she questioned, "Simon, are you just fooling around with me? In the end, you'll do what Mrs. Johnson wants and marry Rosie, right?"You don't get to choose who your wife will be. All the things you told me, those were just lies to trick me, right? Just like them, you think I'm nothing more than a plaything who isn't fit to be your wife. All of you look down on me…"Yes, I'm not as rich as you guys, and I don't have the same social standing, but I'm a person too! I have a sense of dignity too! How can you people insult and humiliate me like that…"Simon's expression turned stormy. Glaring icily at Rosalie and the other young women, he asked, "Did you lot say those thi
