Chapter 270

Rosalie was the driver responsible for the car accident involving Melanie back then. Now, she got together with Jonathan. These two people, who were originally the least likely to be together, became an item. No one could have imagined that!

Bang!

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from behind Alan. He turned to look, only to see Chelsea sitting on the floor with her legs giving way.

Alan glanced at Chelsea sympathetically. It seemed like the Wallace family would be in trouble, and Chelsea might be expelled from this circle shortly.

After all, Jonathan was not known for being forgiving.

Jasmine and Lucy were scared at that moment, especially Jasmine. Despite her inner resentment, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear.

Jonathan’s behavior earlier indicated he knew about Rosalie’s past as a convict. Therefore, Chelsea’s action just now was undoubtedly looking for trouble.

To think about it, Jonathan squatted in front of Rosalie with his knees bent. No other woman had ever been treated like this by him. Not even Melanie.

At the thought of the scene she just witnessed, Jasmine couldn’t help but feel jealous. However, she felt relieved it was Chelsea in the spotlight and not her at the same time.

Suddenly, Chelsea returned to her senses and looked at Jasmine and Lucy. “Jasmine, Lucy, you have to help me. I… I did that to Rosalie because of you two…”

“Nonsense. We didn’t ask you to do anything like this.” Lucy quickly distanced herself.

Chelsea was anxious, and her face reddened. “How can you say that? I didn’t know Rosalie was in prison until you told me!”

“I just mentioned it casually, but I didn’t ask you to say it in front of so many people,” Lucy hurriedly explained.

Chelsea was enraged and turned to look at Jasmine. “Jasmine…”

Among the three of them, Jasmine was most interested in Jonathan. If she hadn’t wanted to please Jasmine and hoped the Lane family could help her family, the Wallace family, she wouldn’t have targeted Rosalie.

Jasmine showed a troubled look and said, “Chelsea, you were too impulsive this time. How about finding an opportunity to apologize to Mr. Youngblood and Ms. Leighton? Maybe there’s a chance to resolve this.”

Chelsea thought, “Apologize?”

Chelsea suddenly felt like she was about to cough out blood. Jasmine’s words were useless, and she fully distanced herself from the situation.

Even though they caused trouble together, now she was the only one being blamed.

Chelsea immediately jumped up and said, “It was you who didn’t like that woman and dragged me into this, making me the bad guy. Now you’re denying it, huh?”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Jasmine immediately rebuked.

“I’m not. Fine. You and Lucy are using me as a scapegoat now, huh?” Chelsea said indignantly.

At the banquet, the three women turned against each other and began a dispute, becoming the biggest joke.

Yvette’s lips curled with a hint of coldness. She thought, “Apologize? My family’s mall wouldn’t have been demolished if Jonathan was someone so easily appeased by an apology.”

Earlier, the three women had dragged Zachary to humiliate Rosalie, but they didn’t think that Zachary was her fiancé now. They would only embarrass her by doing so.

That was why she deliberately didn’t remind them that Jonathan had long known Rosalie’s past. Sure enough, Chelsea, that fool, eagerly poked the hornet’s nest in front of Jonathan. Meanwhile, Yvette stood idle and watched the scene like a spectator.

“Zachary, I feel a little suffocated. Accompany me to the back garden for some air,” Yvette said.

“Okay.” Zachary looked at his fiancée by his side with a complicated expression. “Just now, you deliberately didn’t let me speak for this reason, didn’t you?” His voice was extremely soft. Only they could hear it.

“Yeah, we don’t have to dissuade anyone who wants to start a conflict.” Yvette smiled faintly and said, “Besides, apart from our two families, other families will offend Jonathan sooner or later, and they’ll do it worse.”

Zachary looked at the smile on his fiancée’s lips and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loss and heaviness. It was as if he had lost something and could never find it again.

Now, all he could do was tie himself tightly to the woman in front of him for the sake of their two families’ interests.

Not far away, there was another person coldly watching this farce unfold.

Calvin stared coldly at the three women accusing each other, and then he raised his glass and finished the remaining red wine in his glass.

Earlier, when he saw Rosalie being ridiculed by these three women in public, he wanted to stop them.

Just as he was about to step forward, he saw Jonathan walking toward Rosalie.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be doing something unnecessary again. Naturally, Jonathan would protect Rosalie, so he didn’t have to worry about it.

And those who mocked Rosalie would naturally be dealt with by Jonathan.

After all, he had decided not to fight with Jonathan for Rosalie. Calvin lowered his eyes gently, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

Loretta stood aside and couldn’t help calling out, “Calvin…” She just felt as if he was getting farther away from her.

Or, he had never been close to her.

“Let’s go back. It’s too boring here,” Calvin said indifferently and then walked toward the exit of the banquet.

“Ah!” Loretta was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

Jonathan carried Rosalie out of the banquet hall. Rosalie said, “Put me down. I can walk by myself.”

“Do you really want to get down?” He lowered his head and asked.

“Yes,” she bit her lip slightly and said. After all, being held like this by him was too conspicuous.

“All right.” He put her down as she wished, then called the driver waiting in the parking lot to come over to pick them 1.

It was quiet and empty outside the banquet hall, not as lively as before.

“I shouldn’t have left earlier. You must feel wronged,” Jonathan murmured.

“It’s not a big deal.” Rosalie smiled calmly. “After all, some things have happened, and there’s no way to change them. I am indeed an ex-convict. Even if it hasn’t been mentioned today, it will still be mentioned another day.”

Her past would be scrutinized as long as she was with Jonathan.

Today, it was just in front of these people. In the future, it will be in front of even more people.
