Chapter 96


    What Mandy feared the most, more than the disgusting sensation, was not being able to live a


    prosperous life from then on. She would have to work hard, like everyone else, from nine to five and


    save for a long time just to buy a designer bag. The thought of such a life terrified her.


    Mandy imagined herself to be high and mighty, looking down on Rosalie. Now that Rosalie saw


    Mandy grovel into a rustic and fat man, thetter became even more enraged.


    “Mandy, do you know her?” The middle-aged, short, and chubby man standing next to Mandy spoke


    up.


    “Yes. She was just released from prison not long ago, and now she is just a sanitary workerl” Mandy


    maliciously revealed Rosalie’s background, then turned to Dexter, the manager, and asked, “When


    did Imperial Restaurant start letting in sanitary workers?”


    As Jonathan was facing away from Mandy at the moment, she didn’t see Jonathan’s face.


    However, Dexter could see Jonathan’s face.


    At that moment, he was trembling with fear, wishing he could immediately kick Mandy out of the


    restaurant.


    “So what if she just got out of prison? So what if she is a sanitary worker? As long as it is someone


    Mr. Youngblood wants to bring in for a meal, even a street beggar cane in,” he thought.


    “Who is permitted to eat in our restaurant is none of your business. Please apologize to this young


    lady!” Dexter said to Mandy.


    Mandy suddenly felt like she was about to explode with anger. “Apologize to Rosalie? Seriously?”


    she mused.


    “Do you no longer want your job?” she asked angrily. She then leaned against the middle-aged man


    next to her and said, “Mr. Zeller, this person actually wants me to apologize to a sanitary worker. He


    has gone too far!”


    Robert Zeller was about to say something to defend Mandy when he heard a cold voice say. “What


    is the big deal about apologizing? Even if I ask you to kneel, it is only right.”


    Hearing that, Robert was taken aback and looked up to see who had just spoken. The next second,


    his expression abruptly changed.


    It was none other than Jonathan, the CEO of the Youngblood Group.


    Robert had seen him once at a business conference, but due to his low status, he was unable to


    approach Jonathan for a


    conversation.


    Deep down, Robert had hoped to make connections and get to know Jonathan, but he never got


    the chance.


    He never expected to run into Jonathan again in such a situation. And, based on the current


    situation, it was clear that the woman by his side, Mandy, had already offended Jonathan.


    Robert loved beautiful women, and Mandy had served him well during that time.


    When Robert thought about how hard the spoiled and arrogant little princess tried to please him, he


    felt a little proud of


    himself.


    Nheless, inparison to offending Jonathan, Robert simply wanted to p Mandy in the


    face..


    “Isn’t she just looking for trouble for no reason? Of all people, she has to insult someone close to


    Jonathan,” he remarked mentally.


    “M-Mr. Youngblood, it’s all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!” Robert uttered repeatedly.


    Sweat was beading on his forehead.


    “A misunderstanding?” Jonathan cast a cold, nce at there would be a lot more of them.”


    bert. “If misunderstandings were that simple to ur in this world,


    Robert’s face immediately darkened, and his bby body could not help but tremble.


    In the meantime, Mandy stared nkly at Jonathan. She had no idea who that person was, but the


    way Robert treated him suggested that he was of high status.


    It was only then that she realized Rosalie had been holding hands with that man the entire time.


    No matter how clueless Mandy was, she knew that she had shot herself in the foot.


    She pondered, “When did Rosalie meet such a good-looking and wealthy man?” Mandy’s heart was


    filled with envy. Soon after, she realized that the more she looked at that man’s face, the more


    familiar it seemed to her.


    It was as if she had seen him before.


    Suddenly, Mandy’s eyes lit up, and she eximed, “Y-You are Rosalie’s boy toy, right?”


    10.47


    As those words were spoken. Dexter’s expression changed instantly. Robert was on the verge of


    copsing, regretting ever knowing someone like Mandy.


    Anyone in Strico who dared speak of Jonathan in such a way was courting their own death.


    Jonathan gave Mandy a half-smile, but his gaze was icy.


    “Mandy, what nonsense are you spouting? This person is Jonathan Youngblood, the CEO of


    Youngblood Group!” Robert quickly exined.


    Instantaneously, Mandy’s eyes widened in disbelief.


    She couldn’t believe that the person in front of her was Jonathan.


    “How is that even possible? How can Jonathan be with Rosalie? The person Rosalie identally


    killed in the car ident back then was his fiancée!” she wondered.


    Mandy suddenly remembered an incident that happened before her family got into big trouble.


    When William bullied Rosalie in a club, it was Jonathan who stepped in to save her.


    At the time, everyone assumed it was because William had irritated Jonathan, resulting in Rosalie’s


    lucky escape from him. But now it seemed that it was not a coincidence at all.


    She could not help but feel a shiver run down her spine.


    “B-But Rosalie “Mandy stopped and eventually shut herself up after meeting Jonathan’s cold stare.


    A sense of fear arose from deep within her, warning her that if she continued speaking, her fate


    might be beyond redemption.


    “Mandy, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Youngblood and this youngdy!” Robert urged.


    Mandy’s face was flushed with embarrassment as she looked at Rosalie, who had remained silent


    the entire time.

    Being forced to apologize to Rosalie was a total humiliation for her. Even though she was unwilling,


    the man beside Rosalie was Jonathan. She did not have much choice but toply.


    Just as Mandy was about to swallow her pride and apologize, Jonathan casually said, “Then kneel


    down and apologize.”


    When Mandy heard that, her eyes widened again, and she felt a surge of rage rise within her. “Do


    you want me to get down on my knees and apologize to her?”


    “What if I do? Are you saying she is unworthy?” Jonathan respondedzily. “Whoever I want to


    apologize to her must apologize to her because I hold her in high regard


    Mandy’s expression darkened as Robert urged, “Mandy, hurry up and kneel down to apologize. You


    should apologize properly because you were in the wrong!”


    The problem was that everyone around them would see her kneel. If that happened, she would be


    unable to hold her head high in the future. Thinking of that, Mandy was in a dilemma.


    Rosalie, on the other hand, felt as if she were in the middle of a meaningless argument.


    Rosalie watched as Mandy appeared to be about to kneel before her and instinctively moved away.


    However, she could not move an inch because someone was pressing down on her shoulders.


    “Rosie, don’t move. If she wants to apologize, let her apologize properly.” Jonathan whispered into


    Rosalie’s ear.
