[Edward's P.O.V.]
When I was done with some temporary matters, I found my way back to Rose at the dinner party. She and Jane were standing in front of a round table and I quickly realized that it was Emily's table where she sat with a few of her best friends, and Emily's expression looked terrible right now.
"Rose, what happened?" I just wanted to make sure that my mate didn't suffer any losses thanks to Emily.
"Nothing much. I was just chatting with these ladies. They were looking forward to my ceremony."
I kissed Rose in front of Emily. Her previous behavior had annoyed me, and I had yet to find a suitable reason to punish or expel her. After all, her father had coincidentally saved my grandfather's life in the past and the former had been given the privilege of clan merit. But that didn't mean that I wouldn't do anything bad to her, especially if she mistreated my Rose.
