Chapter 46
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âWho said we wonât buy it? I canâ¦â Lillian wanted to force herself, buy the clothes, and vent her anger so the staff would not look down on them.
Rosalie stopped Lillian and said to the manager, âCanât I check out the shop without buying clothes?â
âI suspected you two for making a scene when you came to the store where the clothes are more expensive than your income. Iâm just protecting the rights of other customers in the store.â The manager seemed to be reasonable.
Rosalie replied directly, âYou donât have any evidence. Yet, youâre obviously suspicious of discriminating against consumers. By the way, Iâve recorded what you said just now. I think it should be considered as evidence and can be submitted to the shopping mallâs management.â âYouâ¦â The managerâs face immediately flushed red. He did not expect Rosalie to record it on her phone.
Zendaya mocked, âRosalie, thatâs enough. Youâre only a sanitary worker. Why did you come here to check out the clothes? Do you still miss the time when you can still wear these clothes? If you really want this dress, I can buy you one when youâre this pathetic.â
âWhat? Canât a sanitary worker who cleans the road come here to check or buy clothes? Or does the Xanthos family think that a sanitary worker is inferior? If the public knew that the Xanthos family treated a sanitary worker like this, how would they think?â asked Rosalie calmly. She directly related Zendayaâs personal behavior to the Xanthos family.
Zendayaâs face turned as red as the managerâs. She could not say anything to retort at that moment.
If Zendaya claimed a sanitary worker was inferior to others, advocates. would attack the Xanthos family online the next day.
Yvette, who was keeping silent, said coldly, âZendaya just said that casually. Why do you have to be so harsh? Of course, a sanitary worker can come here to buy clothes. Which one do you like? If you donât buy anything, donât affect their business.â
Rosalie pointed at a long dress that was on display and priced at 960 thousand dollars. âThis one.
Didnât you say you wanted to buy it for me, Ms. Xanthos? Then, buy this one.â
10:54 L Zendaya was furious and almost coughed up blood. She did not want to buy it for Rosalie. Plus, the dress was 960 thousand dollars, not 96 dollars.
Lillian chimed in, âMs. Xanthos, are you going to take back your words?â
Zendayaâs face turned redder.
Yvette said disdainfully, âItâs 960 thousand dollars. Itâs not that Zendaya canât pay it. But itâs just not worthy to buy such a dress for a murderer.â
Rosalieâs face turned pale while Lillian protected her friend. âWhat murderer are you talking about?â
âWhat? You killed Melanie but dared not admit it.â Yvette stared at Rosalie.
Rosalie pursed her lips tightly. The scene of the car accident flashed in her mind. If she was late to escape, she might die in the explosion after the car accident.
Rosalie met Yvetteâs eyes and spoke. âI didnât.â
Yvette sneered. âThe judge has already sentenced you. Do you still want to say that the car accident had nothing to do with you? Didnât you just say something about the evidence? The evidence of the accident back then was all against you.â
Rosalieâs face turned paler. No matter how she defended herself, all the evidence was against her.
She was obviously being accused, but no one except Lillian would believe her.
âLillian, letâs go.â When Rosalie was about to walk out of the store with Lillian, she met Zachary, who happened to enter the shop.
Zachary was clearly stunned. âRosalie!â
As soon as Zendaya saw him, she immediately stepped forward and complained, âZach, you donât even know how shameless Rosalie is. She asked me to buy her a dress worth 960 thousand dollars.
Does she think she deserves it?â
âShut up!â scolded Zachary immediately, and his expression darkened. Zachary thought, âZendaya has a death wish! The person backing Rosalie now is Jonathan. She even deserves a dress worth 9.6 million dollars, not to mention a 960 thousand dollars dress!â
âZach, whatâs wrong with you? Why are you so loud? Iâm just talking about Rosalie.â Zendaya was dissatisfied.
10:54)
âWhatâs the point?â Zachary was angry. Then, he turned to the shop assistant and said, âPack that dress.â
Everyone in the store was surprised by his words.
âZach, what are you doing? Are you buying that dress for Rosalie?â Zendaya could not believe it.
Yvette frowned with anger in her eyes.
As for the shop assistant, she was surprised. She could earn a huge commission from the dress worth 960 thousand dollars.
âRosalie, Iâm sorry. Zendaya speaks a bit harshly but means no harm to you. Please be the bigger person. This dress is an apology from me.â Zachary put on a humble stance when he said that.
Zendaya looked at Zachary in disbelief. âZach, why did you give her a dress? Apologize? Who does she think she is?â
When Zendaya said that, Zachary became more annoyed. If Rosalie said something to Jonathan, the Xanthos family might be in trouble.
âRosalie, you wonât mind what Zendaya said, right?â Zachary was a little embarrassed.
Rosalie looked at Zachary in confusion. He suddenly was willing to give. her a dress worth 960 thousand dollars. His cautious attitude seemed like he was afraid of something.
She didnât know what she had that could make Zachary scared.
Rosalie pursed her lips before saying, âYou donât need to give me any dresses. Just give me 960 thousand dollars. Mr. Xanthos, you should have a checkbook with you.â
She knew Zachary had the habit of bringing a checkbook.
Zachary was stunned and could not react.
Zendaya stared at Rosalie with hatred. âHow embarrassing you are to ask for money!â
âWhy should I be embarrassed? Ms. Xanthos, you said you could give me a dress from the store. I just exchanged the dress for cash,â said Rosalie. Zendaya replied, âAre you crazy about money? Donât think Zach willâ¦â
However, Zachary had already taken out the checkbook, written the amount of money, and handed the check to Rosalie.
âZach!â shouted Zendaya with dissatisfaction.
10:51 âEnough, Zendaya. Since youâve promised Rosalie, now you have to do what you said! Iâm just helping you!â While scolding Zendaya, Zachary turned around and forced a smile. âRosalie, hereâs your check.â
