Chapter 49
When Rosalie uttered his very name, Jonathan stiffened unnoticeably. “Do you hate Jonathan?” he murmured.
Rosalie sighed. “Who doesn’t know Jonathan is in Strico? The person who died in that accident was his fiancée, Melanie Hamilton. Obviously, it didn’t end well. Those who usually wanted to flatter him might want to see my downfall too.”
After a pause, she said as if she was mocking herself, “Sometimes, I even wonder whether I could win the lawsuit if it were not Melanie who had been in the car accident with me. Maybe I wouldn’t have gone into prison and encountered all those incidents.”
She didn’t feel any anger or sadness, but her indifferent self–mockery made him feel more guilty.
Perhaps half of her pain was due to him.
He squatted in front of her and stared at her through the heavy bangs. “If I had known that you would suffer so much, I would have protected you three years ago.”
The statement had nothing to do with their game, but it was from the bottom of his heart.
If he hadn’t indulged in other people’s flattery then, and if he had been willing to give her justice then, she wouldn’t have gone to prison for three years. Not to mention the wounds all over her body.
“I know your good intentions. Let’s stop talking about matters like this.” Rosalie smiled and patted his black hair.
It seemed that she had done this more and more frequently recently.
Lillian got the medicine and came back. She told them, “I’m going to pick up the car in the basement parking. Jon, you help Rosalie to the main entrance and wait for me.”
“Okay,” Jonathan replied.
Lillian hurried away to pick up the car. Rosalie was about to stand up with Jonathan’s help, but she saw his tall body standing short in front of her.
He was squatting with his back to her.
