“Yes” Rosalie said firmly. “For me, the truth is more important than anything else!”
“It’s been three years since these things happened. Even if there is any evidence, such as thesurveillance footage, it has long disappeared. It’s very difficult to reverse the verdict for you, let alone tofind out the truth,” Jonathan said.
Rosalie smiled wryly as she realized what Jonathan meant. He just wanted to help her overturn thecase and didn’t care about the truth. It didn’t matter to him why Melanie crashed her car herself thatday, or what she was thinking about.
Jonathan didn’t have any feelings for Melanie. Thus, even if Melanie died, what he lost was just asuitable candidate for a marriage of convenience.
Jonathan, you don’t love Melanie at all. Rosalie said with affirmation suddenly.
Jonathan lowered his eyes slightly and said. “I never said I loved her
“So, who do you love?” The moment Rosalie asked that question, an answer appeared in Jonathan’smind in an instant.
Jonathan stared at Rosalie in a daze for a moment. After a while, he calmed down and said, “Whowould you like me to love, Rosie?”
Rosalie suddenly felt that she had asked a silly question. “Why did I ask him that? What’s more, thisman deals with marriage like a trade. I’m afraid he won’t fall in love with anyone for the rest of his life,”she muttered inwardly.
“Sorry. I shouldn’t have asked that” Rosalie narrowed her eyes slightly and said. “Anyway, you don’thave to appeal for me. I will figure it out myself” She decided to find out the truth in her way. It mighttake a long time, but it wasn’t infeasible.
“Are you sure?” Jonathan stared at Rosalie and said, “Okay, then I shall see what you can do. But, ifyou change your mind. and want to overturn the case regardless of the truth, you’re welcome to cometo me anytime. I will definitely help you.”
“Why do you want to help me?” Rosalie looked at Jonathan in puzzlement. Judging from hisexpression, she was certain that he wasn’t just passing a casual remark but rather seriously intendedto overturn the verdict for her.
Still. Rosalie found it strange. Since she refused Jonathan in the hospital before, she assumed thelatter would probably want something from her in exchange for his help. She asked, “Do you want meto do anything, or agree to any conditions?”
There are no conditions, and you don’t need to do anything” Jonathan said. “Just think of it ascompensation for you.”
“Compensation?” Rosalie was confused.
“Back then, you suffered a lot in jail because of me. I should compensate you somehow. So, I willappeal for you any time you like. Jonathan said.
Jonathan’s promise was like a huge temptation, causing Rosalie’s determination and decision to waver.
Once the verdict was reversed, Rosalie would no longer have any criminal record. It also meant thatshe could get back her lawyer’s license and remain a lawyer.
However, if she couldn’t prove herself innocent and clear her name definitely, she might not be able tohold her head up in
court in the future.
What made Rosalie feel ridiculous was that no one in her family, relatives, or former colleagues hadever wanted to appeal for her.
Her close friend, the only one who had attempted to turn over the case for her, said helplessly.“Rosalie, I’m afraid that your case has little chance of being overturned, and no one dares to appeal foryou anyway. No lawyer wants to take the case, let alone to find evidence in your favor.”
When Rosalie was in prison, she ate and slept in uneasiness every day, feeling scared to the bone of acertain man. She couldn’t help shuddering whenever the name of that man was mentioned. Now, thesame man turned out to be the one who offered to appeal for her at any time.novelbin
It was like an ironic twist in life.
In the end,Rosalie didn’t say a word. Instead, she walked to the drawer and took out a pair of gloves,which she then handed to Jonathan “This is the glove that I promise you”
Jonathan scrutinized the gloves carefully before trying them on “They are well-knitted and feel warm,just like this scarf you knitted for me, which is comfortable to wear and keeps me warm”
“Actually, you don’t have to wear the scarf People will think that it doesn’t match your attire, anyway,”Rosalie said Jonathan’s high-end costume only made the scarf appear old-fashioned, cheap, andrough.
“Is it not matching?” Jonathan slightly raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Rosie, I never care aboutwhat others think as long as I feel right. Just like this scarf, if I say it’s matching, then it is!”
After a pause, Jonathan stroked the scarf again as he said, “What’s more, as long as you are the onewho knitted it, the scarf will match any kind of garment”
Rosalie’s heart suddenly beat violently. If it had been others who said that, it would have soundedridiculous. But when it was Jonathan who said it, it was just like a matter of fact.
At that moment, Jonathan’s handsome face looked sincere. It was as if the scarf Rosalie had knittedwas a priceless treasure to
him.
“But, Rosie…” Jonathan took off the gloves and casually pulled a chair to sit on. Then, he looked atRosalie with a smile and went on to say, “For me, I never like to use the same things as the others.Now that you have knitted a scarf and a pair of gloves for me, you cannot knit these for other peopleagain, okay?”
Jonathan’s smile looked pure and bright like the morning sunshine, leaving people craving it andobsessed with it. Yet, Rosalie’s chest suddenly tightened when she heard his words.
“Is this a warning” Rosalie mused. Jonathan was warning her not to knit scarf and gloves for others inthe future.
As a known fact, there were not many people in Strico who dared to ignore Jonathan’s warning.
On the day of filming as a background actor, Rosalie waited at the assembly point at the designatedtime previously announced in the group chat. Yulissa didn’t join the filming this time, and Rosalie alsodidn’t see any other familiar faces among the people who signed up for the background actors.
The organizer came on time and took attendance of the group of background actors before leadingthem to the film crew.
Today, the film crew was shooting in a rented manor nearby. Although it was still early, there werealready many fans gathering outside the manor. Some of them held a sign with the name of their idolon it.
When Rosalie came across Yvette’s name, her heart skipped a beat. “Is Yvette playing in this film?”she mused.
The other day, the organizer posted the title of the film. Rosalie had wanted to check it out, but at thattime Jonathan came and then she forgot about it.
At that moment, Rosalie somewhat regretted not checking the information about the film later on thatday.
Nevertheless, she figured that she was just a background actor and probably wouldn’t have anycontact with Yvette. Hence, there shouldn’t be any trouble..
