Chapter 485
Who would have thought that insignificant woman from back then was now backed by the most powerful man in Strico?
Kayden had been on edge these past two days, especially after Zendaya’s video came out. He was so scared that he could not sleep at night.
He remembered that Zendaya insulted Rosalie at the banquet, and then… she ended up like this.
The Xanthos family was prominent, whereas the Yaeger family could only be considered, at most, rich. Of course, the money they had was incomparable to that of the Xanthos family
“Zendaya is already in this situation. What will become of me? That day, I had kept Rosalie standing by the pool table for a long time, and it looked like she was limping when she left,” he thought.
In an instant, Kayden could picture his legs crippled.
Hence, Kayden hurriedly bought thousands of yellow roses as an apology gift and had them sent to Rosalie’s law firm. Then, he prepared expensive gifts and went directly to the firm to offer her a sincere apology.
When Kayden appeared in the firm, everyone was stunned. The yellow roses could be seen everywhere.
Elodia was even more excited. “Kayden showing up here is practically hard evidence! Rosalie hooked up with Kayden. That’s why she’s often picked up and dropped off by luxury cars!” she thought.
Elodia hurriedly grabbed her phone and secretly shot a video of Kayden and Rosalie. She then posted it on the Internet and directly tagged Kayden’s current real girlfriend, Kelsey Yarbrough, a celebrity who always liked having catfights.
After doing all this, Elodia was in a good mood. She just needed to wait for Kelsey to quarrel with Rosalie. Once that happened, the firm would surely fire Rosalie.
Moreover, once something of such impact had gone viral online, no firm would be willing to accept Rosalie.
Once a lawyer’s reputation was ruined, their career was over.
However, at that moment, Elodia could not hear what they were saying due to the distance.
Naturally, she did not dare to move forward. After all, as soon as Kayden came in, he made it clear that he wished to speak to Rosalie alone, and then they walked to the corner on the other side of the hall.
Elodia could only see Kayden taking out a box and offering it to Rosalie, but she pushed it away in rejection.
A colleague walked to Elodia and muttered, “What are they talking about?”
“Who knows? Anyway, it’s just a conversation between a mistress and her sugar daddy,” Elodia remarked.
“Kayden has a real girlfriend, right? Rosalie is so shameless to be a mistress. She has disgraced our firm. Others will think that our lawyers are all mistresses in the future!” said the colleague.
“Exactly!” another colleague interrupted. “People like her shouldn’t be here at all.”
“Report it to our superiors. If she stays, our reputation will be ruined!”
Elodia was secretly delighted when more of her colleagues joined the topic.
Meanwhile, Rosalie was staring at Kayden with frustration. The current Kayden seemed like a completely different person from the one she was facing that night.
“Ms. Leighton, just accept it. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have ignored you and let you stand on the side for se-long that day. It always wanted to apologize to you in person, but… I hadn’t figured out how to express the sincerity of my apology. Now that I’ve finally bought something suitable to make amends to you, I don’t know what to do if you don’t accept it.” Kayden’s tone was extremely humble.
Even if Rosalie didn’t see what was in the box, she guessed it should not be cheap. “You don’t need to give anything. Besides, Mr. Yaeger, didn’t you already send yellow roses to express your apology last time?” Rosalie said.
She did not understand why Kayden suddenly sent another batch of yellow roses and even came to apologize in person after so many days.
Well… I’m trying to show my sincerity. Just accept the apology gift.” Kayden desperately pushed the box toward Rosalie. Only after she accepted it could he feel at ease.
Otherwise, he would have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life!
Rosalie was at a loss for words. She had a feeling that Kayden was afraid of something, as even his hand giving her the gift was trembling faintly.
“No. There’s no need for this!” she refused.
Kayden was nearly in tears. It was the first time he had offered a gift to a woman only to have her reject it.
“Ms. Leighton, please accept it. If not, I-I’m getting on my knees,” Kayden said.
“You must be joking, Mr. Yaeger,” Rosalie said.
“Joking… I’m not, truly!” Kayden thought. He was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. “It’s difficult to apologize these days!” he remarked inwardly.
At that thought, Kayden had a growing urge to give his past self several slaps.
“Of all people, I had to ignore the woman Jonathan and Calvin are fighting over! If either of them moved a finger, I’d be dead. I’m afraid the Yaeger family will be dragged down with me, let alone be able to protect me,” were his thoughts.
Just as Kayden and Rosalie kept pushing the gift around, a figure suddenly rushed into the firm, shouting upon seeing Kayden and Rosalie surrounded by yellow roses. “My, my, Kayden. You’ve upgraded your taste and came here to have fun. How could you do this to me?”
Kayden was stunned. “What is Kelsey doing here?” he wondered.
Elodia, who was watching the scene not far away, was also dumbfounded. “Why is Kelsey here? Even though I wrote the address to let Kelsey know where I shot the video so she could find Rosalie… That was fast! It has only been less than ten minutes since I tagged Kelsey!” she thought.
Elodia naturally did not expect that Kelsey happened to be working nearby and noticed someone tagging her online account. Upon seeing the content, she immediately rushed over in anger.
However, after recovering from the surprise, Elodia was excited. “Now that Kelsey is here, it’ll be livelier!” she thought.
Elodia quickly held up her phone and secretly filmed the scene before her, earnestly wanting Kelsey to make a big fuss. “When that happens, Rosalie will be screwed!” she exclaimed inwardly.
At this moment, Kelsey rushed to Rosalie and was about to swing her hand at her face.
However, Rosalie had already caught her hand before she could deliver the slap.
