Chapter 20
At that moment, Jennie absolutely hated Mandy. One of Jennie’s close colleagues in the HR
Department secretly informed her that it was rted to her abuse of power and exploitation of
personnel of the Environment and Sanitation Administration.
Jennie thought about it, and the only incident that fit in the usation was getting Rosalie to send
documents. However, Mandy was the mastermind of that scheme.
“I never forced you. You were willing to do it because you also wanted Rosalie to make a fool of
herself. I only offered an idea, while you were the one who executed it. It has nothing to do with me,
Mandy said, immediately severing ties with Jennie.
The two of them began to get into a dispute.
After Jennie fell out with Mandy, her family scolded her fiercely. Still, they tried to look for someone
to help her by spending money and using their connections, but they couldn’t even find anyone to
send their money and gifts to.
Even when it was eventually sent out, the other party would return the money and gifts to them
within two days.
Finally, an old acquaintance of their family for many years secretly said to them, “Who exactly did
your daughter offend? That person seems to be a big shot. I heard from the director of the Municipal
Management Bureau that it will be difficult for your daughter to get any job in the future, let alone a
stable job.”
Upon hearing that, Jennie’s parents were dumbstruck on the spot. Once they returned home, they
immediately questioned Jennie about who she had offended.
Jennie was dazed. “What big shot could I possibly offend? I don’t even get to meet any big shots in
my work or life!” she pondered.
Suddenly, things that happened at the ss reunion shed across her mind.
On that day, Jonathan was thest one who helped Rosalie out. “Could it be that… Jonathan is the
big shot behind Rosalie?” Jennie wondered.
However, Jennie dismissed the idea as soon as it arose. Rosalie had killed Jonathan’s fiancée,
Mnie, back then. Regardless of what happened, it was not possible for Jonathan to be Rosalie’s
backer.
Then, it could only be that… Rosalie had a stroke of luck on that day and was saved by Jonathan
identally, Jennie thought.
“Perhaps… the big shot behind Rosalie is someone else? But Rosalie is just a sanitary worker, How
could it be? Jennie went on pondering.
After thinking for a while, she reckoned the only one she had offended seemed to be Rosalie,
The next day, Jennie hurriedly went to see Rosalie.
As soon as Jennie saw Rosalie, her eyes welled up with tears as she said, “Rosalie, I’m sorry for
that day. It was all Mandy’s idea to ask you to attend the ss reunion, and then I took the
opportunity to ask you to send documents there. I’ve been regretting it these days. It was all my
fault that you suffered such humiliation at the ss reunion. I apologize to you.”
Rosalie coldly watched Jennie putting on her act, not believing a word of what she said.
“Rosalie, can you please forgive me?” Jennie asked.
Rosalie said indifferently, “Why should I forgive you?”
Jennie was taken aback. “I… I’ve already apologized. Won’t you forgive me?” she asked again.
Rosalie only found it ridiculous. “You were doing your job by asking me to send documents, and
there was nothing wrong

with it. Naturally, I am not in a position to forgive or not forgive you.”
Jennie was dumbfounded. “How… how shall I put it? I can’t say that I set her up, can I?” she
thought.
Jennie continued. “But I… I caused you to be embarrassed in front of everyone, and you were
mistreated by William.”
“That was what they did. It has nothing to do with you, has it?” Rosalie said.
“It has something to do with me!” Jennie shouted in her mind. For the first time in her life, she
desperately wanted to take the me herself.
“Okay. If there’s nothing else, I have to work, Rosalie said. She walked past Jennie without regard
for the miserable look of thetter. Then, she walked straight to the opposite side of the road and
began to sweep the ground.
Although Rosalie didn’t know why Jennie came to see her today, she was not going to forgive what
happened that day.
While Rosalie was sweeping the ground, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up
and saw Lucas from the transport crew.
Lucas’ face flushed slightly. As if he had plucked up great courage, he said, “Rosalie, I heard from
Yulissa that you don’t want to start a rtionship now, but… but I’m sincere and willing to wait for
you. You… Whenever you are ready for a rtionship.
you cane to me.”
After saying that, Lucas seemed to find what he said a little inappropriate and thus changed his
words hurriedly. “It’s not that youe to me. I mean, I can queue up to wait for you.”
Rosalie looked at Lucas nkly. That was somewhat surprising for her. “You should go find
someone more suitable for you. I’m just a street sweeper who earns little with no career prospects,
not a good option for a wife,”
“But I like you.” After Lucas said that, his face seemed to be redder than before. “I heard from
Yulissa that you don’t have a boyfriend now, I will wait.”
“But I… Just as Rosalie was about to reject Lucas again, she somehow hesitated, looking at his
blushed face and nervous. expression. At least for now, Lucas seemed sincere to her, and he was
indeed an honest man, as Yulissa said.
A man like this would usually be a good husband and father, but he would probably stay away from
her if he found out that she had been in prison.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Rosalie. “Rosie, who is this gentleman?”
Rosalie turned around and saw a familiar figure walking toward her. The ck down jacket, ck
trousers, and sneakers were all cheap goods, but they looked splendid on Jonathan. At this
moment, Jonathan’s stunning almond eyes, just below his bangs, stared straight at Lucas with a
trace of unfriendliness.
“This is my colleague. Jon, why are you here?” Rosalie asked.
“I finished work earlier today, so I just came to check on you. As Jonathan was speaking, he
grasped Rosalie’s left hand. “Your hand is a little cold.
“It’s all right.” It was natural for her hands to turn cold when she worked outdoors in the winter as the
wind was strong. Rosalie was used to it.
Jonathan held Rosalie’s hand with both hands and gently rubbed it to warm it up. After that, he
grasped her other hand and started rubbing it until it was warmed up again.
Lucas watched the intimate interaction between Jonathan and Rosalie in a daze and couldn’t help
asking, “Rosalie, is this…. your brother?”
“Yes,” Rosalie nodded.
Jonathan nced at Lucas nonchntly, then wrapped his arm around Rosalie’s waist and leaned
closer to her in a domineering manner. He asked, “What time are you getting off work? I’ll go home
together with you today.”

“In half an hour. I just need to finish sweeping this road,” Rosalie answered.
“Okay.” Jonathan smiled.
Somehow, Lucas felt strange watching the interaction between the two. He doubted if they really
were brothers and sisters. The way Jonathan looked at Rosalie, as well as his manner and attitude,
seemed like a man iming possession of a woman.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
