Chapter 479
Zendaya later learned from Zachary that Rosalie had Jonathan as her backer, and all the suffering Zendaya had received was all given by Jonathan.
The Xanthos family was afraid that Jonathan would retaliate further, so they sent Zendaya abroad.
Although she was abroad, she also paid attention to everything about Rosalie.
She heard that Rosalie had moved out of the Youngblood residence and rented a small rental home to live in, only working as a legal assistant in a law firm. Therefore, Zendaya concluded that Jonathan must have dumped Rosalie, so she hurriedly returned to the country.
She originally intended to get back at Rosalie in later days and make her limp to vent out the anger in her chest. However, Zendaya did not expect to see Rosalie this soon at the banquet.
“Which sugar daddy are you with this time? I think you’ve put all your effort into getting in here just to find a chance to approach Jonathan again, right? But why don’t you look at yourself? Jonathan was only interested in you for a while back then. Without him now, you’re a nobody at all. Are people like you qualified to stand here?” Zendaya’s words were vicious.
Rosalie ignored Zendaya and caught a glimpse of Zachary and Yvette walking toward her.
Thinking about it, Rosalie thought it was natural to see them at such a banquet with the gathering of various prominent figures in Strico.
Although Yvette had quit being a celebrity in the entertainment industry, she was still the second daughter of the Hamilton family, maintaining her high and mighty appearance.
Yvette walked up to Rosalie and said with a smile, “What a coincidence to meet you here. By the way, congratulations on turning over your case. But the Hamilton family didn’t owe you anything back then regarding this matter. The judge found you guilty in the first place.”
Yvette’s appearance still looked arrogant. It was as if the words “congratulations” from her were like giving something to the charity.
Rosalie replied faintly, “Really? But you owed Melanie justice. Speaking of the Hamilton family, isn’t it necessary to investigate the accidental death of their heir thoroughly? Or does the family want me as a scapegoat?”
“You…” Yvette’s expression changed slightly, and she sized up Rosalie.
She had heard from Zendaya that Rosalie had broken up with Jonathan, but she wondered why Rosalie appeared here and even wore such an expensive gown and jewelry.
“Could it be that…” Yvette thought with a bad feeling in her heart.
Zachary looked at Rosalie in a daze. The light purple gown and pearl necklace made Rosalie look so noble and elegant. She, looked very
different from the time he had seen her wearing fluorescent clothes and holding brooms before.
Rosalie looked even more dazzling like this than before she went to jail.
Back then, Zachary knew that she was beautiful. Otherwise, he would not have pursued her and become his boyfriend.
Rosalie’s beauty was not the eye-catching type but a very comfortable, tranquil, and elegant one. The more one looked at. her, the more relaxed the person would feel. Her beauty was like a gurgling stream, which was unlike the surging sea or rivers, but it would flow into one’s heart bit by bit.
Zachary thought of the last time he went to see Rosalie for the issue of Yvette getting banned from the entertainment industry, but Rosalie looked at him coldly with no trace of the past friendship left in her gaze.
Zachary thought Rosalie would act that way, as he had abandoned her like a discarded pawn back then.
Since Zachary had made this decision, there was nothing to regret.
Moreover, his relationship with Yvette was the most powerful thing for the Xanthos family.
“All right, let’s go over there and say hello to Mr. Adams,” Zachary said while planning to stop their argument.
However, Zendaya refused to stop. “Zach, why are you ignoring her? Can you bear Rosalie talking about the Hamilton. family in such a way? Aren’t you going to vent anger for Yvette?”
“Come on. Have you forgotten your lesson previously?” Zachary said displeasedly.
“That was because she had Jonathan as her backer back then, but now she has broken up with him. Speaking of which, she’s just a leftover from Jonathan!” Zendaya deliberately spoke loudly, letting everyone around her hear it.
The people around them also turned their gazes at Zendaya. Even some gazes were filled with sympathy and curiosity. However, Zendaya did not think much about it because she assumed the people were just sympathetic to Rosalie.
Zendaya became more excited as she spoke. “Jonathan is sure really strange. Zach, that man’s interested in the woman you don’t want, but now he has no interest in her anymore, too. How surprising. By the way, Rosalie, I heard you even knelt on
the ground in prison back then and ate leftovers like a dog. How about you perform now-”
However, before she could finish her words, a slap landed on her face directly. Zendaya was stunned and collapsed to the ground from the blow, subconsciously covering her face. It took quite a long time for her to return to her senses. “Who is it? Who dared to hit me?” Zendaya shouted angrily. As soon as she spoke, her mouth and cheeks were in pain, and her face felt even stinger.
Initially, she had come to the banquet with Zachary and Yvette today, wanting to see if there was a suitable partner for herself in the upper-class coterie. After all, after one of her legs turned limp, the chances for Zendaya to find one had become much worse than before.
However, if Zendaya were to make herself feel wronged and marry into an ordinary family, she would not be willing to do so. All the partners of her friends and best friends were prominent figures from wealthy families. Even if their relationship did not work well, at least they came from families with more than tens of millions of dollars in assets.
Therefore, being slapped to the ground like this made Zendaya feel utterly embarrassed. Not to mention that those unmarried men who attended the banquet would not have favorable impressions of her.
“It seems that the Xanthos family really does not learn from their lessons.” The elegant voice, accompanied by the cold tone, immediately made Zendaya shudder. Immediately after, a tall figure appeared before her eyes.
Zendaya’s pupils suddenly widened, and as she looked at the person, she was surprised that it was Jonathan.
However, Jonathan did not even give Zendaya a single glance. He just looked coldly at Zachary and Yvette and then asked Rosalie, “Did they do anything to you?”
His tone was totally different from before, which sounded extremely gentle.
“We just exchanged a few words,” Rosalie said indifferently. As for Zendaya’s malicious words, they did not influence her at
all.
Upon seeing the scene, Zachary and Yvette understood that Rosalie and Jonathan had never broken up.
No matter whether they broke up or not, at least Jonathan was still Rosalie’s backer.
With Jonathan’s presence, no one could touch Rosalie.
