Chapter 219
"Oh," Rose’s shoulders dropped due to disappointment.
Rose thought Alexander would understand her position in all of this and never ask anything of this from her. She couldn’t be nice to Mathias anymore. She couldn’t be stuck in a dreamland with Alexander, believing that Mathias would change now.

Alexander didn’t want his friendship with Rose to end. They were just getting close again after eight years away from each other. "Don’t do this to me, Rose."
Rose released a dry laugh. "Do this to you? You’re the one putting me in a bad position."
"No," Alexander denied her claim. "He is the one who placed you in this position to see Mathias like that. He knew my answer about punishing Mathias and still decided to bring you here to show my answer. He did this."
