“Sorry” Rosalie blushed. “I… I just… Um…. If you don’t have anywhere to go, you can stay with me.”
She spoke in a hurry, but after saying that, a sense of relief washed over her instead.
The other party looked at her flushed face with his obsidian-like pupils, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“If you don’t want to, just pretend I didn’t say anything” She bit her lip.
At last, his thin lips parted slowly. “Do you want me to live here?” His chilly voice was exceptionally clear in the silent room.
Had other men said that it would probably sound like words of flirtation.
However, when he said that, it seemed like it was merely a “yes” or “no” question, without the slightest ambiguity, and even his gaze was stolid.
Rosalie compressed her lips. “Yes,” was her answer.
Staring at her, he gradually smiled faintly, “Okay.”

It was the first time she had ever seen him smile. Although it was an exceptionally faint smile, it was incredibly captivating

When the man left the rental home, a person, who was already waiting outside, immediately greeted the former respectfully upon seeing the man’s appearance. “Mr. Youngblood.”
“Let’s go,” said Jonathan flatly.
A black Mercedes-Benz then pulled up in front of Jonathan. He got into the car and looked at the 4 dollars in his hand.
It had been years since anyone had given him money like that, never mind it being merely 4 dollars,
“Mr. Youngblood, the woman with you last night is a contract worker of the Environment and Sanitation Administration. She rented her current residence here last month and was just released from prison two months ago upon serving her
sentence.
Having been Jonathan’s personal assistant for many years, Carlos began to report the information as soon as they got in the
vehicle.
“She served a sentence?”
“Yes. She’s Rosalie Leighton, who killed Ms. Melanie Hamilton three years ago while drunk driving. She was the ex- girlfriend of Zachary Xanthos. Back then, she was sentenced to three years in prison, and her lawyer’s license was revoked.” As Carlos spoke, he cautiously observed Jonathan’s expression.
With a faint, amused smile on his face, Jonathan murmured, “Rosalie Leighton… Interesting”
At that time, his marriage of convenience with the Hamilton family was solely because Melanie wanted to marry him, and she was also a decent marriage partner. If he were destined to marry a woman in his life, then Melanie would’ve been a suitable choice.

Alas, Melanie ended up dying in a car accident, much to everyone’s astoundment.
Jonathan wondered, “How would Rosalie react if she knew the relationship between Melanie and me? Come to think of it, this is the first time in so many years that a woman held my hand and led me into her residence. She even said she wanted me in a shaky but firm voice.”
“Carlos, what kind of woman do you think is worthy of me?” Jonathan asked out of the blue.

“Huh?” Carlos was momentarily struck dumb. “I think it depends on what kind of woman you want, Mr. Youngblood.”
Jonathan then instructed indifferently, “Put Rosalie’s files on my desk later.”
“Got it.” Carlos couldn’t help wondering if this meant Jonathan was interested in Rosalie.
After work, Rosalie received a call from her father, Gordon Leighton, who asked her to make a trip home.
He claimed that since she had already been released from prison, she should go home to light candles for her deceased
mother.
Rosalie was a little taken aback. Ever since she was released from prison, her family had been eager to sever ties with her.
In the past three years, they never once visited her as if she had nothing to do with that family anymore.
Rosalie’s biological mother died when Rosalie was only three years old.
Three months later, Gordon married Caitlin Leighton, who gave birth to a daughter named Loretta Leighton.
From a very young age, Rosalie was aware that her father and Caitlin were biased, so she tried hard to make herself sensible, and get good grades on her tests.
Her studies had never been a cause for concern all her life. As such, gradually, Gordon was glad to brag in front of others. about having a daughter who excelled in her studies.
The period when she dated Zachary was perhaps the most glamorous time she ever had in her family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGordon had regarded her as a badge of honor, Caitlin had shown concern, and even her half-sister had buttered up to her.
Rosalie understood that that was purely because of Zachary, the heir of Xanthos Group.
At that time, however, she always hoped to receive real family warmth.
Unfortunately, a car accident made her comprehend that everything was simply her wishful thinking.
At present, in the Leighton residence, Rosalie listened to Caitlin talk about Loretta finally getting into the entertainment circle but needing various connections in order to obtain better roles.
“Rosalie, as you know, we’re not that well-to-do, but your sister needs money now. How about… you lend us some money first? We’ll pay you back when Loretta becomes a celebrity and strikes it rich,” requested Caitlin earnestly.

“I don’t have money,” answered Rosalie curtly.
Caitlin’s expression stiffened, but she quickly smiled and said, “You may not have money, but Zachary does. He had immediately broken up with you after you got into trouble when you two were still dating back then. Shouldn’t he make it up to you for this?”
“Caitlin, didn’t you, Father, and Loretta also distance yourselves from me when I got into trouble?” Rosalie replied.
Gordon chimed in furiously. “What? Are you here to rehash the past? Had you not killed someone, your sister would’ve long gotten the fernale lead role and become a superstar!”
Hearing that, Rosalie sneered. At that time, Loretta was only chosen as the female lead because that TV series was invested by Xanthos Group, and Zachary had specified that Loretta should be the female lead.
Thereafter, as Rosalie and Zachary broke up. Loretta naturally lost that opportunity.
“Rosie, are you resenting us for not doing anything for you when you were in trouble?” Loretta spoke up softly. “But you had offended the Hamilton family and Jonathan Youngblood back then! Even the Xanthos family was so scared that they made Zachary break up with you. What else could our family possibly have done? Had we really helped you to fight the case back then, it wouldn’t be just you but the whole family who’d offend the Hamilton family and Jonathan. How could ordinary people like us handle their fury and vengeance?”

“You have a point.” Rosalie suddenly smiled lightly, fixing her gaze on Loretta. “But since you guys couldn’t go through thick and thin with me, why should I make any effort now to aid your career progression?”
