Chapter 478
The court session was about to begin in a few days. Thinking of this, Rosalie felt powerless.
When she returned to her senses, she found that the car had stopped at a beauty salon where Jonathan had brought her to last time.
Rosalie was stunned and asked the driver, “Why are we here?”
However, the driver only replied shortly, “Mr. Youngblood is waiting inside.”
Upon hearing it, Rosalie did not say anything more and got out of the car.
As soon as she entered the shop, the store manager greeted her and said enthusiastically, “Ms. Leighton, please come with
me.”
Rosalie followed the store manager and soon came to a room on the second floor. Jonathan had already sat on the couch in the room, while there was a light purple gown hung on the coat hanger next to him.
It was a beautiful gown with dark purple and white crystals embedded in the dress, looking elegant and classic.
“Accompany me to a banquet tonight. Have a try on this gown,” Jonathan said.
“Banquet?” Rosalie was stunned for a while.
“It’s just an ordinary banquet. You don’t need to get too nervous, Jonathan replied.
Rosalie had accompanied Jonathan to banquets before, but the experience was not pleasant.
She wondered if something would happen at the banquet later today.
Rosalie went into the dressing room and changed into the gown.
It had to be said that Jonathan was very careful in choosing a gown for Rosalie. The scars on her body were covered without being exposed.
The only part that was exposed was probably her hands.
The joints of her fingers were slightly deformed, which still looked fine from a distance. Yet, once one looked close, the deformation could be seen.
However, she could not conceal it.
When Rosalie walked out of the dressing room, Jonathan’s eyes flashed with astonishment.
When Jonathan first saw the gown, he thought it suited Rosalie very well. Therefore, he deliberately bought this one-of-a-kind designer’s handmade piece.
Now, it looked very beautiful when Rosalie wore it.
“Beautiful.” Jonathan stepped forward and smiled gently.
Rosalie pursed her lips but said nothing.
Jonathan picked up a piece of jewelry from the jewelry box next to him and put on a string of white pearl necklaces for her.
Rosalie looked at the beads. Each of them looked big, round, and glossy without any defects. The necklace would probably cost millions of dollars.
Standing before the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Rosalie looked at herself in it. She looked beautiful and elegant, graceful and noble, but nobody would have thought that she was just a legal assistant.
Her whole look was just dressed up by Jonathan.
Rosalie was now like a doll getting dressed up according to how Jonathan wanted.
“My dear sister, do you like it?” Jonathan asked with a murmured voice, leaning down from behind her with his face close to –her cheeks.
Looking in the mirror, they looked as intimate as a couple.
The staff on the side was stunned and thought, “Mr. Youngblood called her sister? What’s going on? When he brought this young lady here back then, the lady seemed to be Mr. Youngblood’s girlfriend!”
Although the staff was full of astonishment and speculation, she did not dare to ask anything.
“It doesn’t matter whether I like it or not, right?” said Rosalie.
“Why would it not matter? If you don’t like it, you can change to another gown then,” Jonathan said softly as if Rosalie was a princess he cherished a lot.
It also sounded like Rosalie was very important to Jonathan.
Rosalie was in a trance. Jonathan always gave her the illusion as if they had not broken up yet.
“Well then, if I don’t like playing make-believe family, are you willing to stop it?” she suddenly blurted out the question from her mouth in a sudden.
Jonathan’s eyes gradually darkened, but there was a slight smile formed at the corner of his lips. “Don’t ever think about it. It’ll never happen!”
Jonathan wanted Rosalie to stay by his side forever and be his only “sister”.
He could give her everything she wanted, and he would present her with everything she desired in front of her, anything but letting her go and loving her.
Even if Jonathan said it was just an ordinary banquet, in Rosalie’s opinion, it was a very grand banquet.
Many prominent figures in Strico, even those whom Rosalie could only see from the news media, came to participate.
When Rosalie held Jonathan’s arm and walked into the banquet hall, they naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Rosalie could feel those gazes falling on her.
Some people who had seen Rosalie before understood the situation, while those who had not seen her were guessing the relationship between her and Jonathan at this moment.
“Are you hungry? How about getting something to eat first?” Jonathan asked.
Rosalie thought for a while and nodded. She was indeed a little hungry. After all, she was asked to change out her clothes and do makeup straight after work. She would have been taking her dinner at that time.
Her stomach was also growling with hunger.
“Wait here. I’ll get you something to eat,” Jonathan said. If others heard his words, they would probably be surprised again.
In Strico, there was no one qualified enough to let Jonathan get something for them to eat in person.
Back then, Jonathan’s fiancée, Melanie, had never enjoyed this treatment before, too.
After Jonathan left, Rosalie stood still and looked around. The people who attended the banquet today were either prominent figures or celebrities.
However, no reporter was present at all.
Some banquets would not allow reporters to enter, but this was also a good thing for Rosalie. At least she would not be exposed in front of the public and attract people on the street.
Yet, it was no different from being watched with her presence at the banquet right now.
Even if she was in a relatively secluded corner at the moment, she could still feel many different gazes on her.
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed towards Rosalie, and when the person came over, their leg seemed to be slightly limped.
Rosalie was stunned as the person had already stood in front of her, who turned out to be her old acquaintance and Zachary’s sister, Zendaya.
Rosalie was a little surprised and did not expect to see Zendaya here.
Speaking of which, ever since Zendaya deliberately tripped Rosalie and made her roll down the escalator, she had not seen. Zendaya.
“Looks like you can even come to such a place,” Zendaya said while staring at Rosalie with hatred. She had not seen Rosalie and Jonathan walking in together just now, so when she saw Rosalie stay here alone, she only thought that Rosalie had followed someone else into the hall.
“Such a person like you are not allowed to enter this kind of place.” Zendaya was full of hatred when she noticed Rosalie.
She thought that if it were not for Rosalie, her leg would not have become limp.
