Chapter 598
However, Josephine did that privately. The Tall family didn’t know it. Otherwise, if it were done by the Tall family, the method would be more secretive and difficult to expose.
After reading Josephine’s statement, Lillian said to Rosalie with a guilty face, “Sorry. It was all my fault that you almost got killed!”
Rosalie said, “Don’t say that if you consider me a friend. If you really want to say sorry, I’m afraid I have more things to apologize to you!”
At that time, Lillian gave up her studies and a better future for her case. She had been running around for her for three years. Josephine couldn’t repay Lillian’s kindness no matter what she did.
Callum stepped forward and said, “I didn’t handle this matter well. I didn’t expect Josephine to have the courage to do such a thing privately! As a result, you two are involved in this accident”
He only kept an eye on the Tall family but didn’t send anyone to monitor Josephine.
After all, in his opinion, Josephine was just a discarded child of the Tall family, so she shouldn’t be able to cause any significant trouble. Unexpectedly, Josephine did such a thing.
“I will give you an explanation. I won’t let Josephine escape from the law. Since she dares to do such a thing, she should bear the consequences,” Callum said in a cold voice, his eyes flashing menacingly.
Rosalie’s heart trembled. She had a feeling Josephine would have a tough time surviving in the future.
For Callum, Lillian was the limit of his patience. If someone tried to hurt her, a man like Callum would never show mercy to the culprit.
Moreover, Callum had always been a tough character. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the current head of the White family. One could already imagine the fate that would befall Josephine and the Tall family.
After the incident, they walked out of the police station. Lillian said, “Rosalie, why don’t we go to dinner together? It’s almost time for dinner.”
Rosalie was about to say something, but when she inadvertently glanced at the figure walking out of a nearby government building, she suddenly froze.
It never occurred to her that Strico was so small.
The more one wanted to forget someone, the more they would bump into them.
Lillian noticed Rosalie’s strange behavior. Following her gaze, she exclaimed, “It’s Jonathan!” Immediately, Lillian looked at Rosalie awkwardly. She remembered the last time she saw Jonathan in the church with Rosalie.
At that time, Jonathan ignored Rosalie completely.
And now, they met Jonathan there again.
At that moment, a figure suddenly rushed in the direction of Jonathan. But before he could reach Jonathan, his bodyguards had stopped him.
Seeing that, the woman directly got to her knees and kept groveling at Jonathan’s feet.
“Mr. Youngblood, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have approached you with an ulterior motive. Please spare me. I won’t dare to do it again. Please!” As the woman spoke, she knocked her head against the ground. After a while, her forehead was already red
and swollen.
Some pedestrians around also looked over curiously because of the commotion.
Jonathan didn’t even look at her. He just walked toward the car waiting beside him.
Seeing that, the woman suddenly caught a glimpse of Rosalie and rushed to her. “Ms. Leighton, please help me. Last time, you were going to help me, didn’t you? Please tell Mr. Youngblood to spare me!”
Before Rosalie could react, the woman had already run up to her. Her hands and fingertips were wrapped with white gauze, which looked very conspicuous.
At that moment, the woman’s forehead was red and swollen. Blood trickled down her face. The expression on her countenance was a look of desperate pleading. She was resorting to any possible means to resolve her current predicament. “That day, I shouldn’t have thought about using your previous experience to put on a show. It was me who pretended to have my nails pulled out to attract Mr. Youngblood’s attention, but now I am punished! My nails have been pulled out. I’ve already suffered that pain!”
Disregarding the injuries on her fingers, the woman grabbed Rosalie’s wrist and said, “Ms. Leighton, please sympathize with me. Please help me plead with Mr. Youngblood and tell him to let me go!”
She didn’t expect that everything she planned did not bring her the slightest benefit but instead caused her doom.
Not only did Jamus, whom she asked for help, want to settle accounts with her, but even her relatives and friends also steered clear from her after knowing that she had offended Jonathan.
Only then did Rosalie realize that the woman in front of her was the waitress she met in the private room at Siren Nightclub that night, whom Jonathan defended.
At that time, she remembered that Jamus had a conflict with the waitress and wanted to pull out her nails. And now, the waitress was telling her that everything that happened back then was just an act.
She thought, “So, this woman colluded with Mr. Lane to put up a show to get close to Jonathan?”
Rosalie raised her eyes and stared at Jonathan, who was not far away. She wondered, “Did he know that they were acting? And that day, did I look like a fool to them when I rushed out that day?”
Rosalie suddenly had an impulse to smile bitterly. “I can’t help you. You found the
wrong person.”
“How could it be? Ms. Leighton, weren’t you with Mr. Youngblood? I heard that you are about to get married. Didn’t Mr. Youngblood place an order for the Icy Crystal diamond? the woman said hurriedly, which she accidentally heard from a big
boss.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have decided to attract Jonathan’s attention with what happened to Rosalie!
Rosalie’s body suddenly stiffened. She thought, “The Icy Crystal diamond… How long has it been since I heard the name? I’ve only seen the diamond initially. I’ve never even seen the final product of the ring.”
That was because she had already broken up with Jonathan before she could see the ring.
When the woman said that, her voice was not soft. Naturally, Jonathan had already heard it.
Jonathan’s face darkened immediately. Carlos’ heart sank, a sense of foreboding surging within him.
