Chapter 45 Who Does He Think He Is 

Rosalie’s tears shattered Selena’s heart. The latter shot a sharp glance toward the doorway. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing the commotion, David was about to step in. 

Upon seeing see daughter in tears, he felt his hands tremble. “What’s going on? Alex would never insult anyone. Could there be some sort of misunderstanding?” 

Tears streaming down her face, Rosalie sobbed, “Alex wants Dom to be the company’s driver.” 

For a moment, David didn’t catch on. “So what’s the problem?” 

Selena, however, realized the issue. “Is it possible that Dominic looks down on this job?” 

Choking back tears. Rosalie said, “Dad, you asked him to join the company, so Dom prepared seriously for it, only to end up being made a driver. You have no idea how disappointed and angry he was. He confronted me, asking if I was looking down on him. He accused me of messing around with him and using this as a way to insult him. He thought that my goal was to break up with him. He said I had succeeded and told me not to look for him anymore. Then… then he blocked on every means of contact. I tried reaching out to Maddie, but she’s angry with me, saying that her brother has never been this upset before. He thinks he’s not good enough for me and wants to pretend we never dated.” 

She cried out, “Why? Why d 

you all deceive me? I thought you really wanted to get to know him. Were you purposely trying to ruin my love life? Is what Dom said true? You all just don’t trust me, do you? You just want to control my life!” 

Due to it being her first breakup, she was so distraught that her words were jumbled. All she wanted was to vent her anger. 

David and Selena were utterly taken aback. Rosalie had always been a well–behaved and sensible child, a true joy to raise. This was the first time they had ever seen her lose her temper in such a way. It left them completely at a loss. All they could do was try to pacify her. 

They swore they had no such intentions, and neither did her siblings. It had to be a misunderstanding. Watching Rosalie cry her eyes out, Isabella felt quite awkward. The former had just been thanking her that morning, sharing desserts to express her gratitude, and looking forward to the future. 

How did it suddenly come to this? This breakup is so shocking and unexpected. 

Had it not been for seeing the breakup in the Gossip System, Isabella wouldn’t have believed it. 

Dominic was indeed extremely furious with Rosalie, to the point where he was nearly shouting at her, as if he had truly been humiliated. 

Isabella examined the situation again from Alexander’s perspective, only to find herself growing increasingly speechless. 

I almost made a mistake and was misled by Dominic’s anger. What’s wrong with him? 

No sooner had she heard Isabella’s thoughts than Rosale, who was in the midst of her tears, jumped up in shock. Being dumped was hard enough for her, but to have someone badmouth Dominic right in front of

her was too much. Even the meekest girl would lash out in such a situation. 

David and Rosalic, drawing from their experience, immediately held Rosalic back. They knew for certain that Isabella must have discovered something. Perhaps, they didn’t even need to wait for Alexander’s explanation to understand the truth.. 

Isabella thought, Dominic did go to the interview in high spirits, and Alexander had also informed the HR department. However, the HR department could never have imagined that the person recommended by the CEO was someone incompetent. The fact that he lacks formal education can be overlooked, but the fact that he never had a proper job at all is startling. Does this mean he has been freeloading through life all these years? 

Dad and Selena were stunned, looking at Rosalie in disbelief. 

David realized why he felt something was off from the start. He had formed an assumption of Dominic’s limited potential. Therefore, upon hearing the word ‘driver, he didn’t find anything amiss. 

“Rosie, be honest with me, does he have no working experience? Otherwise, the HR department wouldn’t have just made him a driver.” 

Selena’s head was buzzing. “Is that true? Rosic?” 

At first, they assumed that Dominic was merely jobless due to being in the preparatory stages of starting a business. However, they never imagined that since graduating, he had never held a proper job. 

This make him nothing but a hooligan! 

Isabella though, It seems like Mom and Dad have noticed that something is off, saving me the trouble of pointing it 

At first, Rosalie was taken aback, then she hurriedly said. “That’s because he is someone talented who hasn’t gotten the recognition he deserves. Dominic is clearly very capable, but due to his lack of formal education, he couldn’t find a good job and was discriminated against. Up until now, he hasn’t met someone who could appreciate his true worth and had bad luck, so that’s why…” 

As Rosalie faced her parents‘ increasingly troubled gazes, she found her words becoming increasingly unconvincing. 

Isabella thought, Unappreciated talent? What a joke! Does he even have any? He doesn’t have a single specialized skill. If it weren’t for his driver’s license, the HR department could only arrange for him to be a cleaner even after they racked their brains and lowered all standards. He doesn’t ever meet the physical requirements for a security guard. 

Upon hearing her beloved being belittled so harshly, Rosalie was filled with both anger and sorrow. She turned to Isabella. “Bella…” 

Isabella had assumed that Rosalie was calling her for help. 

She thought, You want me to speak up for him? Honestly, I can’t do that, Rosie. He was offered the driver’s position simply because the CEO ordered HR to relax their requirements. We’re talking about Quirk Group here, where a driver can earn tens of thousands a month, not to mention the top–notch benefits. People are practically begging for the job, and yet, he feels insulted. What is even more amusing is that he had the audacity to drop Alexander’s name to the HR department, questioning if they knew who he was. What a job. Who doesn’t he think he is? The scion of some wealthy family? 

Isabella continued in her mind, He even has the audacity to claim that Alexander was prepared to offer him the

role of a manager. Good heavens, is he out of his mind? He didn’t even bother to reflect on his own qualifications. Is it because he is shameless? Even a scion has to know their limits. If Quirk Group practiced nepotism and allowed relatives to do as they please, it would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. How else could it have developed into what it is now? Suddenly, I can’t help but sympathize with Alexander. In order to help his sister evaluate her potential partner, he had made a fool of himself at the office. This incident would likely damage his reputation within Quirk Group. To be pulling strings… It’s such a pity. 

Isabella got all worked up, yet her face betrayed no sign of it. She was about to gloss over her words toward Rosalie, whose judgment was clouded by love, when she heard the latter let out a sob before going into a complete breakdown. 

“He… He just wants to build a career to prove to you all that he is worthy of me. You shouldn’t think of him. like that. He’s not… not like that…” she sobbed. 

This time, instead of comforting her, David and Selena stood by with grim expressions on their faces. 

“Rosie, this man is unacceptable,” said David candidly. “He likes to brag, is full of himself, and lacks self- awareness, His character is simply too poor.” 

Selena couldn’t help but say, “Our family has good intentions, but they were misinterpreted. Alex is right, our values are different. Both of you aren’t for each other.” 

Hearing her parents echo the same sentiments, Rosalie grew even more anxious. She cried so hard that she had difficulty breathing, her face flushing a deep red. 

“Nobody truly understands Dom. He’s genuinely a good person, and anyone who really gets to know him will come to appreciate him. Mom, Dad, Bella, could you please persuade Alex to give Dom a different job? Give him a chance to prove himself.”
