Chapter 84
“Don’t worry. Everything will be alright,” replied Rosalie. The fact was… everyone in the Environment and Sanitation Administration had already known that Rosalie was the person who caused Melanie to die in a car accident and was sentenced to three years imprisonment.
The man leaning on the sofa had one hand on his cheek while the other held a wine glass. He was slowly sipping the red wine in it. The man looked handsome and pure. The inadvertently charming look between his brows seemed as if it would pull someone into the intricate web he seemed to reflect in his eyes when he gazed at someone.
One would probably never struggle free of it, nor would they be able to leave it. They would sink into it willingly.
No wonder in Strico, so many socialites were attracted by him! Looking at Jonathan, who was drinking alone, Alan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. But even if he felt like helping, few people dared to act on that impulse.
After all, those who had dared to act on that impulse had annoyed Jonathan and ended up with miserable outcomes. Plus, they would also turn into a joke in Strico.
“Why did you come here if you are going to be drinking alone? If you came here to meet your friends, the least you could do is bring that woman with you. I want to see what kind of woman could make you abandon Mr. Leonard Youngblood on New Year’s Eve,” said Alan.
Alan was very curious about this woman. Although Jonathan said on the phone that day that it was just a game and there was no point in meeting her, the thing was, Jonathan had never played any games with other women. Therefore, Alan was still doubtful of Jonathan’s words.
Jonathan’s fingers holding the wine and drinking it froze momentarily. He lifted his beautiful gaze and stared at Alan with a faint smile. “Oh, do you want to meet her?”
Alan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and his hair stood on its end as he sensed danger permeating the air. It was like if Alan nodded in agreement at this moment, he would definitely meet a terrible end.
It was as if whatever Alan had asked about earlier was taboo for Jonathan.
“She is just another woman, yet she is already Jonathan’s… taboo? Is that woman really that important to Jonathan, or am I overthinking this?” wondered Alan.
Alan figured that he was overthinking things. Suddenly, he smiled at Jonathan sheepishly and said, “I don’t want to. So, let’s leave it at that, all right?”
While they were talking, two people came in through the entrance. Alan immediately changed the topic and said, “It’s that brat, Calvin. He has brought his new girlfriend here today. In the past two years, all his girlfriends were small-time celebrities. He would aggrandize them to make them popular before moving on to the next girlfriend and repeating the same thing. How many celebrities does he plan to aggrandize and popularize?”
Alan was also speechless about Calvin’s speed of changing girlfriends. However, Calvin treated every incumbent girlfriend well and spoiled those women rotten, fulfilling their every demand. But once Calvin broke up with them, he was so ruthless that it terrified everyone.
Some even said that Calvin was a cold-blooded person. Even if he spoiled a woman, he would throw her away like garbage in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Loretta took Calvin’s arm and walked with him into the magnificent banquet hall.
In the past, she didn’t dare to think about coming to such a place. Now she was living the best life with the film crew, and Calvin also said that for her next TV series, he would make her the female lead.
For Loretta, it was like winning a lottery prize. She used to flatter the screenwriters, assistant directors, and directors to get more screen time for her roles, but she didn’t necessarily get what she wanted, even if she escorted them for drinks and made sure they had a good time.
Now, becoming the female lead was dependent on Calvin just mentioning it.
But Loretta’s biggest prize was the chance to be Calvin’s girlfriend!
It was just a pity that although Calvin spoiled her rotten and treated her so meticulously that he spent so extravagantly buying Loretta all the luxury brand bags and clothes that she could only look at in the past, every time she wanted to get close to him, he just said indifferently that there was no need to rush it.
Even if Loretta wanted to kiss him, Calvin would refuse.
It made Loretta a little uneasy. After all, she also knew how fast Calvin changed his girlfriend. There were rumors that the shelf life of his girlfriend was not long. Sometimes it would only take several months for Calvin to get tired of them.
Loretta had to win over his heart no matter what, and she couldn’t let him get tired of her. She didn’t intend to be his girlfriend for only a few months. The more she stayed with such a man, the more she couldn’t help but want more.
After all, after experiencing living a life like this, who would want to return to their previous life?
Besides… Loretta glanced at Calvin’s handsome profile beside her and thought, “This man can easily make any woman fall in love with him, and I am one of them too. I want to get close to him not only for the glory and wealth he gives me but also because I really want this man and to deepen my relationship with him. When Calvin gazes at me, I can’t resist falling for him. My whole body heats up, and my desire for him rises from the deepest crevices of my heart. So no matter what, I must hold on to this man.”
“I see one of my friends here today. Let me introduce him to you” Calvin’s voice rang in Loretta’s ear.
“All right,” answered Loretta obediently.
Calvin’s friends were either rich or powerful!
But when Loretta met the “friend” that Calvin had mentioned, she was stunned!
“This man… Is he Calvin’s friend? But why does he look like… Is he the man I saw at Rosalie’s rental home the other day?” wondered Loretta,
This man looked different than the man in Rosalie’s rental home, who had thick bangs. Calvin’s friend had his hair combed. back, revealing a smooth and wide forehead.
“Could it be the same person?” wondered Loretta again.
Just as she was thinking about it, Calvin’s voice came from her side and rang in her ears. “Loretta, this is Jonathan. In Strico, you can mess with anyone but don’t mess with him. If you mess with him, even I can’t help protect you from him.”
Calvin’s words sounded indifferent like he was telling her about a mundane matter. But when Loretta heard it, she felt her mind go blank in shock.
During the time the two dated, Calvin could be said to be protective of her everywhere they went. There had never been a time when Calvin had said words like him not being able to protect her.
“And the man in front of me is Jonathan? Jonathan, who is known to everyone in Strico but whose photo could hardly be found on the Internet?” wondered Loretta in shock.
Jonathan raised his eyebrows lazily and looked at Loretta.
Loretta shuddered before immediately she went into acting mode and smilingly said, “Hello, Mr. Youngblood. I’m Lorella.”
Jonathan sneered coldly, “So, it’s you, Loretta. I didn’t expect to see you again.”
