Chapter 142
If Rosalie really knew some big shot, would she still work as a sanitary worker at the Environment and Sanitation Administration, or even take on background actor jobs for extra income?
*I-It’s nothing, it’s all in the past,” Rosalie replied vaguely. “But Yulissa, I think I may not be suitable to be a background actor. I won’t continue with this job, so please apologize to Jeremy for me, and I’ll leave the group chat later.”
Considering that many people had witnessed what happened on set yesterday, and the entertainment industry was a small circle where most people frequently interacted with each other, Rosalie felt it would be awkward to continue as a background actor Quitting seemed like the best option.
However, losing this source of extra income left her somewhat regretful, so she had to think of other ways to increase her
earnings.
“I see. Yulissa could tell that Rosalie didn’t want to discuss the events of yesterday any further, so she didn’t press the issue. She said. Tll let Jeremy know. But it’s better if you inform him yourself before leaving the group.”
“Okay, Rosalie replied.
In her heart, she was also worried about making money. After all, she needed to repay her debt to Lillian as soon as possible. and if there were additional medical expenses for her grandmother in the future, it would only add to her financial burden.
Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but feel a bitter irony.
In the past, she believed that studying hard and acquiring knowledge would enable her to earn a living, but ironically, she was now engaged in manual labor to make money. All those years of studying various subjects and even memorizing legal texts seemed utterly useless to her.
She couldn’t help but wonder if this was a form of irony.
After work, Rosalie went to a small food stall near the Environment and Sanitation Administration and had a simple boxed meal.
Compared to the dinners prepared by the Youngblood residence’s chef, this boxed meal was undoubtedly inferior, but when she ate it, she felt no burden or restraint.
Unlike at the Youngblood residence, where eating with Jonathan often made her feel as though she were bound and weighed down, with a heavy sense of oppression that sometimes made her want to escape.
Ultimately, it was because she couldn’t truly understand this man. Even when he said he could be her “Jon” alone, she had no idea how much of it was sincere and how much was a jest.
Or perhaps, her experiences in prison had left her with a deep-seated fear of him, and she was genuinely afraid of him.
She was afraid that she might inadvertently provoke him, and he would subject her to those hellish days again!
Shaking her head, Rosalie told herself to stop dwelling on it. She quickly finished her fast food and then took a bus to her original home.
But now, this place was no longer home to her.
Rosalie pressed the doorbell, and shortly after, it was Loretta who answered the door..
“Rosie, you’re here,” Loretta greeted with a demeanor reminiscent of a dutiful wife, a stark contrast to her earlier confrontational attitude when they first met on set.
Rosalie gave her a faint glance and walked into the house.
Caitlin warmly approached her, saying, “Rosalie, you’ve come. Your dad and I were just talking about you.”
“Come, have a seat first,” Gordon said.
Rosalie took a seat and directly asked, “Where are they moving Mom’s grave?”
kreat
“There’s no rush for that Gordon waved his hand. “Let’s talk about you and your sister first. Today, I want to play the peacemaker between you two. No matter what happened in the past, you’re still sisters. As the elder sister, you should look out for your younger sister”
Rosalie frowned slightly I just want to know where they’re moving Mom’s grave”
Gordon became displeased Tve already told you, we’ll discuss that later. Let’s focus on your and your sister’s matters first.”
“Rosie, if I did anything wrong in the past, please don’t hold it against me. I apologize to you,” Loretta said with a sincere expression.
But Rosalie remained guarded.
The more earnest Loretta acted, the more suspicious she became.
As expected, Rosalie got to know Loretta’s true intentions from Gordon’s next words.
“All right, you are sisters after all. Don’t let a man come between you,” Gordon told Rosalie. “Rosalie, Calvin is Loretta’s boyfriend. You mustn’t ruin her chance at happiness. Besides, you’re getting closer to Jonathan now, right? You shouldn’t interfere in your sister’s relationship with Calvin.”
Rosalie suddenly understood the point. This was the real issue.
“I have no interest in meddling in her relationship with Calvin. I just want to know where they’re moving Mom’s grave,” Rosalie repeated her question once again.
Gordon grew displeased. “Are you unwilling? Do you really want to interfere in Loretta and Calvin’s relationship? Let me tell you, if you dare to ruin Loretta’s future, you won’t be able to visit your mother’s grave for the rest of your life!”
Rosalie stared coldly at her father. “Whether I’m willing or not is not the point. If Calvin truly likes her, no one can take her away. If Calvin wasn’t serious about her from the beginning, then she can’t hold on to him either.”
“What do you mean by that?” Caitlin, who was standing nearby, became anxious. “You must be unable to marry Jonathan, so you’re cursing Loretta like this! Loretta is different from you. She’s pure, without any criminal record, and she’ll win the best actress award in the future. It’s not the same as you.”
“If you think she’s different from me, then let her capture Calvin with her own abilities, Rosalie said coldly.
She actually didn’t fully understand why Calvin had chosen Loretta as his girlfriend. Was it out of love? It didn’t seem like it because if it were love, he wouldn’t have let Loretta kneel in front of so many people on set.
Even though it was at Jonathan’s request, with Calvin’s background, he didn’t have to fear Jonathan to that extent.
Moreover, Rosalie had witnessed how Calvin treated his ex-girlfriend. Perhaps those who appeared the most affectionate were actually the coldest-hearted. She didn’t believe that Loretta would truly be Calvin’s last girlfriend.
“I came here today only for Mom’s grave relocation. You can give me the necessary documents and household registry, and I’ll take care of it myself, Rosalie said. Speaking of which, her household registration had not been officially transferred from her family yet.
However, she hadn’t transferred it because she didn’t know where to relocate it. She didn’t own any property in Strico, and she couldn’t add it to the collective household registration at the Environment and Sanitation Administration. As for putting it with her grandmother’s household registration, her relatives would probably assume she wanted to claim part of the demolition compensation, and they wouldn’t agree.
Suddenly, Rosalie felt incredibly isolated as if she didn’t even have a place to call her own.
