Chapter 34 

Just then, Queenie came over and looked at Rosalic contemptuously. “Yulissa, stop talking with her. She was in prison and had taken a life!” 

“Queenie, we are colleagues. Why do you say that? Besides, Rosalie was in prison just because of her careless driving-” 

Before Yulissa could finish her words, Queenie interrupted, “But she was the one who killed Melanie. Yulissa, do you know who Melanie is? She is Yvette’s sister! I still wonder why Yvette asks so many of our colleagues to find the ring that doesn’t exist. She is against Rosalie. We are all involved.” 

“But didn’t she make an apology?” Yulissa said. 

Queenie looked unhappy. She was obviously dissatisfied with the way Yulissa stood up for Rosalie. Today, Queenie was the one who exposed that Rosalie had been in prison. 

Queenie accidentally heard the conversation between Rosalie, Zachary, and Yvette before, so she spent some time looking for all kinds of news about Zachary and Yvette online. Only then did she find that it was Rosalie who killed Melanie back then. 

“Yulissa, were you bribed by Rosalie to stand up for her?” Queenie sneered. 

“You…” Yulissa was angry. 

“Well, there is nothing to talk about. The car accident was an accident, and Rosalie did not do it intentionally.” A man’s voice was heard. 

Rosalie found that Lucas was speaking on her behalf. 

Nevertheless, Queenie was even angrier. The reason she did not like Rosalie was that Queenie liked Lucas, but Lucas liked Rosalie. 

“Lucas, what’s the point of helping Rosalie like this? Do you think she will fall in love with you? Her boyfriend was Zachary! He is the heir of Xanthos Group!” 

Lucas‘ face suddenly turned red. 

Queenie said sarcastically, “But Zachary must have lost his interest when he saw Rosalie that day. She is a sanitary worker now. Tsk, I wonder if Zachary would vomit if he thought about the scene of falling in love with Rosalie.” 

Rosalie looked at Queenie coldly. “Are you done?”

“What? Are you going to refute that you have never been in prison or that you are not Zachary’s ex–girlfriend?” Queenie said arrogantly, “A person who has been in prison can’t pretend to be innocent!” 

“I’ve been in prison, so what? As for whose ex–girlfriend I am, it seems that it has nothing to do with you. Besides, couldn’t I have dated someone even though I’m a sanitary worker now? Otherwise, can a 

sanitary worker only make people vomit?” 

Rosalie asked, “Queenie, you have a status, but that doesn’t mean you can look down on my career.” 

Queenie was instantly choked and unable to retort. 

Many sanitary workers were staring at her! Usually, people like Queenie, who had status, often had a superior feeling. Everyone knew it, but she could not say it at the moment. 

“Rosalie, you… Let’s see!” Queenie glared at Rosalie angrily and left quickly. 

Rosalie let out a deep breath and was about to turn around when Lucas shouted, “R–Rosalie, I… I don’t think you are what Queenie said.” 

She paused for a while but did not respond. Instead, she left directly. 

Rosalie was grateful for Lucas‘ willingness to help her just now, but she thought that after knowing that she had been in prison, Lucas would not have any more interest in her. 

Rosalie returned to her rental home at night. When she was having dinner with Jonathan, there was a knock on the door. 

Rosalie was a little surprised. Usually, no one would visit her. She wondered if it was Gordon, Caitlin, and Loretta again. 

Nonetheless, Lucas was standing outside when she opened the door. 

Lucas was dressed in a black cotton–padded coat, and his face was red. He looked at Rosalie as if he was embarrassed. “I…” He wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped and hesitated when he saw Jonathan walking behind Rosalie. 

Jonathan stared at Lucas, who was standing outside. Jonathan 

remembered that the man was a colleague of Rosalie in the Environment and Sanitation Administration, who seemed to be interested in her. 

“What? Are you here for Rosie?” Jonathan asked. 

“I… I have something to talk about with Rosalie alone.” Lucas blushed and then looked at Rosalie. “Rosalie, is that okay?” 

13:42 

Jonathan frowned slightly and felt a bit angry when he heard the way Lucas called Rosalie. 

Rosalie was about to answer when Jonathan interrupted, “What’s the matter? Can’t you talk here?” 

“Well…” Lucas hesitated. 

Rosalie said, “If you have something to say, just say it.” 

“Rosalie, I… I wanted to say that I don’t mind that you have been in prison. I really like you and hope you can be my girlfriend. I… I can wait as long as you don’t like anyone else yet,” Lucas said in one breath as if he had gathered all the courage to say it. 

Rosalie was stunned. She did not expect Lucas to say such a thing. 

“I also know I’m just a driver now, but I will try my best to earn money and support the family. I… I just hope I can give you happiness.” Lucas added, “You can think about it.” Without waiting for Rosalie to speak, he immediately left. 

Rosalie stared at Lucas‘ back in a daze until a hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her into the room. She came back to her senses after the door was closed with a bang. 

“Why…” 

Before Rosalie could finish her words, Jonathan pushed her against the door and leaned down. He stared at her with his dark eyes. “Rosie, what are you thinking about?” 

“Nothing,” she said. The distance between them was too close, making her feel lost. “Let go of your hand.” 

Nevertheless, Jonathan ignored Rosalie and put his face closer to her. He gently brushed his lips over her ear. “Rosie, are you moved by what that man just said?” 

“Moved? I don’t know, but it was a surprise for sure. After all, I thought Lucas would give up after learning that I have been in prison,” she thought. 

But unexpectedly, he came to her place and said those words. 

In this world, too few people looked at the person who had been in prison with ordinary eyes. 

Rosalie’s silence made Jonathan frown. He disliked her thinking about another man. It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
