Chapter 381
“Vicious?” Rosalie interrupted Zachary. “I’m afraid you don’t know what the real viciousness is, Mr. Xanthos!”
She had been subjected to extensive abuse while incarcerated, and she had occasionally doubted if she would make it. Zachary must not have gone through even a fraction of what she had.
“You won’t be satisfied until you ruin her, will you?” Zachary yelled angrily.
“Didn’t she ruin me back then? Even my hands would have been unable to grip anything again if I hadn’t been lucky,” Rosalie said sarcastically.
Zachary was lost for words, and his eyes fell on Rosalie’s hands.
In fact, a complex emotion burst within him whenever he thought back to that scene from years ago.
He would ponder, particularly after learning that she had been mistreated, if he and Rosalie would still be together if she had not been wronged.
But then he stopped pondering because he realized that Yvette was the best choice for him and the Xanthos family.
“Rosalie, you have Jonathan now. Why do you want to ruin Yvette?” Zachary softened his tone.
Looking into Zachary’s almond-shaped eyes with disgust, Rosalie sneered, “Mr. Xanthos, I don’t think you know what ruin
means.
“Yvette is just forced out by the entertainment industry now, but she’s still the second daughter of the Hamilton family. “She still has you as her fiancé and has the Hamilton family and the Xanthos family to support her.
“The real ruin is when she is rejected by the Hamilton family, the Xanthos family, and her friends, and when she is in agonizing pain all over her body and has no one to turn to for help but to wish to die.”
As Rosalie continued, Zachary’s face grew noticeably paler.
“Mr. Xanthos, would you like to see that happen?” Rosalie asked.
Zachary couldn’t say a word now.
After Rosalie got in the car and drove off, Zachary finally came back to his senses and stumbled.
He was just overcome with fear that Rosalie would truly damage Yvette as she said.
Rosalie was confident and sweet when she was his girl. Every time he asked for something, she gave it her best effort.
But now, she just spoke to him with contempt and indifference.
Or, she might just be kind and sweet around another man he couldn’t afford to offend!
Zachary felt a sense of loss.
Yvette was better for and more compatible with him than Rosalie, but… why would he still feel like this?
His heart seemed to be pounding in agony.
Was it because of Yvette or Rosalie?
Or was it because of the ruin Rosalie had mentioned? Had she experienced that kind of ruin before?
At this moment, Zachary didn’t have the heart to ponder it further.
The driver was driving Rosalie back to the Youngblood residence.
On the way, Rosalie sent a WhatsApp message to Jonathan, confirming the veracity of Yvette being blacklisted by the entertainment industry.
She didn’t expect Jonathan to respond to her immediately.
However, only three seconds later, the man replied with a message: [Yes.]
Such a simple word meant that Yvette was really banned!
Rosalie was still surprised, although she was mentally prepared. After all, Yvette was not an ordinary celebrity in the entertainment industry but the second daughter of the Hamilton family!
Yet, Jonathan could force her out so easily.
For a moment, she was a little lost as she fixed her attention on the word “yes” on her phone’s display,
After a while, Rosalie sent another line: [Will the Hamilton family come after you?]
She didn’t want his career to be implicated because of her.
After all, the Hamilton family was also affluent in Strico.
Jonathan replied briefly again: [The Hamilton family dares not to.]
These words made her feel relieved.
In the evening, Yvette made a public announcement that she would leave the entertainment industry and return to the Hamilton family to take over the family business.
The unexpected news stunned the entire entertainment industry!
After all, Yvette was the most popular star now. She was reportedly going to be given the title of the best actress for one of her films that was released this year.
Yet, she was going to withdraw from the industry before being crowned the best actress?
The news became a trending topic right away, and hundreds of thousands of comments poured in.
Rosalie checked the news on her phone, only to feel that things had changed too fast.
On the day of the exhibition, Yvette was still an eye-catching female star, but now she was forced to withdraw from the industry.
“Are you reading the news about Yvette?” Jonathan’s voice suddenly sounded in Rosalie’s ear.
“I happened to see it. It’s a trending topic now,” Rosalie said.
“Since you don’t want to forgive her, I’ll make her pay for what she did to you.” Jonathan took a quick look at Yvette’s declaration on the trending news. “I won’t let Yvette withdraw in such a glorious way.”
What did he mean?
Rosalie was stunned. Suddenly, her phone rang. Rosalie glanced at it, only to find it was a call from her friend Lillian.
The moment Rosalie answered the phone, Lillian’s urgent voice sounded, “Rosalie, have you seen the news on the Internet? Yvette is leaving the entertainment industry!”
“Yes,” Rosalie replied.
“But she is so shameless. She was forced out of the industry, but she said that she wanted to leave the industry and return to take over the family business because her parents were getting older. It’s funny,” Lillian mocked.
Yvette infuriated Lillian severely for her brutal and vicious manners in abusing and torturing Rosalie! It was unthinkable that a woman who looked elegant and intellectual would be capable of doing something so heinous!
Rosalie was taken aback. “How do you know that she is banned?” Rosalie didn’t remember that she ever told Lillian about it, “Someone revealed it, of course! I have to repost it soon so that more people will know this woman is banned from the industry!” Lillian’s tone was upbeat. “By the way, is Jonathan behind this?”
“Yes,” Rosalie admitted, not hiding it from her friend.
“Rosalie, you’ve chosen a good husband!” Lillian commented.
Rosalie blushed and exclaimed inwardly, “Please! Jonathan is not my husband yet!”
However, Rosalie felt embarrassed to speak it out because Jonathan was next to her right now.
“Okay, I’ll talk to you later. I have to go now!” Lillian said this before ending the call.
