”

Rosalie took the check and left with Lillian.

As soon as they went out of the store, Lillian asked, “Rosalie, don’t you think it’s a little weird? Zachary just gave you 960 thousand dollars without hesitation. And Yvette is still there! Isn’t he afraid that Yvette will misunderstand?”

“Yes, it’s strange,” replied Rosalie.

Lillian guessed, “Does Zachary still like you?”

“No, he’s afraid. It feels like he’s afraid I’ll be angry with Zendaya and harm the Xanthos family.” Rosalie told Lillian what she felt.

Hearing that, Lillian felt a little ridiculous. “Is he overthinking?”

“Who knows?” Rosalie shrugged and looked at the check in her hand.

“What are you going to do with this check? Rip it?” She knew Rosalie very well. With the latter’s personality, she would never use the money. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Why should I tear it? I’ll just donate it to the people who need it.” Rosalie carefully put the check into her bag.

They went shopping for a while and had dinner. When they were about to walk to the escalator to the underground parking lot, they saw Zachary, Zendaya, and Yvette.

The three of them were obviously not very happy. It was as if there was some dispute.

At that moment, the three also saw Rosalie and Lillian walking toward the escalator. As Zendaya looked at Rosalie, the angrier she became. She did not know what Rosalie did to Zachary. He took sides with Rosalie and stopped Zendaya from cursing Rosalie.

Especially earlier, Zachary had warned Zendaya to send her abroad if she still targeted Rosalie.

It made her almost explode from anger.

Seeing Rosalie walking toward the escalator, Zendaya suddenly stretched out her foot and tripped Rosalie as the latter passed.

Rosalie was caught off guard and fell down the escalator.

Lillian screamed, ran to the escalator quickly, and pressed the emergency stop button.

However, it was too late. Rosalie had rolled several steps of the escalator. Lillian hurriedly stepped forward to help Rosalie up and glared at Zendaya. “You’re hurting others. Do you know Rosalie could’ve died from that?”

Zendaya responded carelessly, “She didn’t watch out when walking and tripped on my foot. How could you accuse me?”

Lillian said angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense. We’ll know the truth if we check the surveillance footage!”

Then, she looked at Rosalie nervously. “Rosalie, are you hurt?”

“A little… painful.” Rosalie took a deep breath and felt like she was about to fall apart.

“I’ll take you to the hospital right now,” said Lillian hurriedly.

Zendaya said ironically, “It’s merely a fall, and you’re going to go to the hospital. You really make a mountain out of a molehill! Do you want to fool me into paying your medical expenses next?”

No one expected that the next moment, a slap suddenly hit Zendaya in the face, which almost made her fall from the escalator.

“Zach!” Zendaya covered her face and looked at Zachary in disbelief.

Zachary’s face was extremely pale. “Apologize! Quickly apologize to Rosalie!”

Zendaya raged, “Why should I apologize?”

At that moment, people came over one after another. Some of them recognized Yvette. After all, she was a celebrity. Even though she wore sunglasses and a hat to cover most of her face, she was still being recognized.

“It’s Yvette. The one beside her looks like her fiancé!”

“What are they doing here?”

“What’s wrong with the escalator? Did some accidents happen just now?”

People around started talking about it. Lillian held Rosalie and walked down the escalator. Seeing the situation, Zachary hurriedly caught up with them.

Yvette was surprised. She could not expect Zachary would leave her and go after Rosalie. The people around Yvette began to gossip again.

“Yvette’s fiancé went after another woman.”

“Oh, my. Is it a cliche love triangle?”

Yvette’s face was full of embarrassment. She tried to avoid the phones that were taking pictures of her and left with Zendaya in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Zachary chased Rosalie and said anxiously, “Rosalie, I–I will pay all the medical expenses. Zendaya didn’t mean to do it. As long as you don’t tell others, everything can be negotiated-”

Lillian was infuriated. “Negotiate? Zachary, why do you have the nerve to say that Zendaya didn’t mean it? The Xanthos family is really weird.”

While speaking, she opened the door, let Rosalie sit in the passenger seat, and sat on the driver’s seat. Zachary was still knocking on the door hard as colors drained from his face. His voice was shaking as he spoke.

At that moment, Lillian felt that Zachary was indeed afraid. She wondered, “What is he afraid of? Is he afraid that Rosalie would sue Zendaya?”

Even if Rosalie did, Zendaya would only lose some money. The Xanthos family was not short of money at all.

After Lillian drove away with Rosalie, Zachary stood there in a daze. He muttered, “It’s over.”

No matter what the relationship between Jonathan and Rosalie was, at least for that time, Rosalie seemed special to Jonathan. Now, Rosalie was injured because of Zendaya. Zachary was worried that Zendaya and his family would get into trouble.

Zachary could only comfort himself in his heart. Jonathan would not really do anything to the Xanthos family because of Rosalie.

He pondered the possibility. The sound of Jonathan’s voice calling Rosalie “Rosie” rang in his mind. There was a hint of gentleness in Jonathan’s voice that Zachary usually could not notice..

Lillian drove Rosalie to the hospital, registered for an emergency, and queued up to get scanned.

Although Rosalie did not say anything, Lillian knew it should hurt based on Rosalie’s look as she endured the pain.

Lillian was unsure when Rosalie began to bear the hurt quietly in front of other people, even if she was in pain.

Lillian thought, “Was it because of those days in prison? Was it because she has suffered a lot, so now she won’t cry out anymore?”

Thinking of the strange car accident, Lillian felt it was not simple. However, she had no evidence.

Seeing Rosalie take out her phone, Lillian asked, “Who are you calling?”
