Chapter 203
“Looks like I didn’t get the wrong person that day. It was really you.” Calvin glanced at Amelia indifferently. “You came here. to ask for my help. Are you asking me not to tell Warren about seeing you?”
After hearing him mention Warren York’s name, Amelia’s body suddenly trembled. It had been a very long time since she heard others mention the name again.
It was the name she had ever loved and remembered deeply, but also the name that she hated.
Nevertheless, she just wanted to stay away from the name now and live a peaceful life.
“Yes.” Amelia gritted her teeth and added, “I know I don’t have the right to negotiate with you. But I just hope that you can sympathize with me and pretend that you haven’t seen me!”
Her tone was extremely humble. As a matter of fact, even if Calvin were to ask her to beg him, she would do it without hesitation.
“You should know that he has sent someone to look for you in recent years,” Calvin said.
Amelia pursed her lips and kept silent. That man was searching for her just because he felt that she had not suffered enough, and because she got rid of the miserable life he had set for her.
It was because he did not expect her to “disappear.” That was the reason why he looked for her.
“I beg you, Mr. Gunner. I’m sure you know something about the relationship between me and him. I just want to live a peaceful life. I never harmed people and I don’t want to be harmed by others,” Amelia begged.
“Never harmed people?” Calvin chuckled lazily as he added, “But everyone seems to know that you caused Warren’s girlfriend to have a miscarriage. You ended up killing a person.”
Amelia gritted her teeth and closed her eyes sadly. It was a crime that was forcibly set on her. Even though she vehemently said she had never done it that time, no one believed her.
Meanwhile, the man she loved most personally sent her to prison. When she was taken away by the police, she asked, “Have you ever loved me, Warren?”
“How could I possibly love you? From the beginning, I only hated you. I want you to live in pain all your life, Amelia.”
This was the last thing that Warren said to her.
The man she loved most wanted her to live in pain for the rest of her life, and the strong affection that she felt before was merely his hatred and revenge.
After that, she was sent to prison and heard that he was engaged to his girlfriend. They were very much in love with each other. Meanwhile, she was just the vicious woman mentioned occasionally in the news.
“I… did not harm anyone!” At this moment, Amelia spoke these words tremblingly as if she wanted to defend her innocence with the last trace of strength.
The image of Rosalie somehow flashed past Calvin’s mind when he looked at Amelia.
He had investigated Rosalie before. Naturally, he knew that she was sent to prison as well. “That year… The car accident,” he mused to himself. What he had read from the information was that Rosalie did not admit her crime in court.
Then, he thought, “The car accident that year… For Rosalie, was there something else?” Calvin smiled when he thought of it. The person who died in the car accident was Jonathan’s fiancée, Melanie. Meanwhile, Rosalie was with Jonathan now.
After that, he thought, “If there was something else that happened during the car accident, Jonathan would figure it out. Why should I worry about it? However…”
After that, Calvin said all of a sudden, “When did Rosalie work in your diner?”
“What?” Amelia was obviously stunned and added after a while, “Probably half a month ago. She came to my diner to work as a rider for food delivery.”
“How is she usually when she’s in your diner?” Calvin continued to ask.
“She’s quite good. She works very hard and delivers food efficiently. Moreover, she doesn’t complain about being tired and the work is hard…” Amelia was talking about what Rosalie was like when the latter was in the diner. Meanwhile, Calvin held one side of his cheek with one hand as if he was listening with great interest. The corners of his lips curled slightly, and there was a trace of gentleness on that face that was initially indifferent.
Amelia was shocked. “Does Calvin treat Rosalie as… But how is it possible?” she wondered.
Calvin was a famous scion in the entertainment industry and he was always surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women. Meanwhile, Amelia always saw Rosalie wearing ordinary clothes when the latter was at work. Rosalie would not put on any makeup and even her hands were callused. One merely had to take a glance at her to know that she had done a lot of menial
work.

Chapter 203
If Amelia had not seen the two of them talking in her diner before, no one could have imagined that someone like Calvin would have anything to do with Rosalie.
After Amelia finished talking about what Rosalie had been doing in the diner, Calvin finally fixed his gaze on Amelia again. “You just said that when she arrived in your diner to apply for a job, she had been sentenced to prison before. Then why did you hire her? Aren’t you afraid that something will happen later and place your diner in trouble?”
However, Amelia smiled bitterly. “Maybe because I’ve been sentenced to prison too, so I have compassion.” She always put. herself in other people’s shoes. Therefore, she could see that Rosalie really wanted a job at that time.
“Compassion…” Calvin pondered for a moment. A while later, he added to Amelia, “Okay, I promise to help you. At least I won’t tell Warren about seeing you before. As for whether someone else will tell him, I can’t guarantee it.”
Nevertheless, even such a guarantee was enough for Amelia.
“Thank you, Mr. Gunner. Thank you…” Amelia said gratefully. Vaguely, she seemed to have come to a realization. Perhaps it was because she had mentioned the word “compassion” that made Calvin willing to agree to this matter.
Then, she thought, “I’m afraid that this Mr. Gunner treats Rosalie as…” There was a trace of worry in Amelia’s eyes. She wondered if it was a good thing or a bad thing for Rosalie.
After all, she herself could be the perfect example. After dealing with Rosalie for these few days, she treated Rosalie more as a friend rather than an employee.
If Rosalie involved herself with Calvin, perhaps her fate might change. However, it would be hard to say if she were to be happy in the future.
At noon, Gordon received a call from the owner of the house, Harper Smith. Harper said that on the previous day, someone had entered the room Gordon rented. Gordon immediately shuddered and said in a hurry, “Who was it? I rented this place. How can you open the door without my permission?”
However, Harper was angry with Gordon when the latter questioned him. “How bold of you to say that? I rented the room to you so that you can stay in it. But instead, you put an urn in the room. Besides, if it weren’t for you, the police wouldn’t have come to investigate my house. Now, I have to renovate it. The reason why I called you is to inform you that I want to renovate the house. I won’t refund the rest of your rent and deposit!”
