Before, Sebastian really did frame Theodore.
If Sebastian hadn't confessed his mistake, Rosalie might have misunderstood Theodore until now.
Now that she thought about what happened, she found it rather scary.
If Sebastian could do it once, what was stopping him from doing it again?
But with no surveillance cameras around this time, she didn't know the truth about what happened.
She didn't want to see Theodore in such a terrible light, but all the more she didn't want to think so badly of Sebastian.
One of the two of them was bound to be in the wrong.
Who exactly was it? Rosalie wanted to get to the bottom of it.
She selfishly wished Sebastian was at fault because she didn't want to be disappointed by Theodore yet again.
"Rose, I admit I did say something to him, but that's because he humiliated you and I was so angry about it. I didn't expect him to pounce at me and punch me. Of course I had to hit him back! Trust me, what I said is true," Sebastian said.
"You said something to him?" Rosalie asked in a shaky voice. "What did you tell him?"
"I just told him something along the lines of taking good care of you, treating you and the baby well, and so on. I rebuked him for humiliating you and being too harsh with his words."
"No, Theodore wouldn't do that!" Aurora said, anxiously speaking up for Theodore. "He's a gentleman. How could he possibly humiliate you? He wouldn't do that!"
Aurora hugged Theodore tight. She believed unconditionally in Theodore.
"Is that so? Are you sure?" Sebastian smirked.
The foreigners didn't know the context, and found the recording inappropriate when they heard it out of context. Women weren't men's belongings to be objectified. They found Theodore's words demeaning, especially after Sebastian used stronger terms in his translation.
Through the lenses of the translation, Theodore had become a proud male chauvinist who objectified women.
Rosalie stared blankly at Theodore. It was his voice indeed.
"Theo… Did you really say that?"
She said every word with a trembling voice.
Theodore looked at Sebastian, shock registering him.
He didn't expect Sebastian to record his voice—and specifically this part, which was taken out of context.
