Chapter 148
However, Rosalie was certain that Jonathan had seen a lot of cute people. She wondered if her
childhood photo was cute enough for him to ask for one from her.
However, at that moment, the most important thing for her was to meet Lillian.
As she was about to leave, Jonathan asked the driver to take her there.
Based on past experience, she knew that refusing was useless. Once he decided on something,
there was really no room for negotiation.
After getting in the car, Rosalie told the driver her destination.
In the end, she arrived half an hour earlier than expected for a journey that was supposed to take
an hour.
Rosalie made her way to a fast food joint, took a seat, ordered a drink for 1 dor and 20 cents, and
then messaged Lillian.
While waiting for Lillian, Rosalie was bored, so she looked through the transparent floor-to-ceiling
windows and watched as delivery riders came in and out of the restaurant from time to time,
carrying takeout orders.
Thinking of takeout, Rosalie suddenly had an idea. Even though her driver’s license had been
revoked, she could still ride an electric scooter. Furthermore, working as a delivery rider was a
commission-based job. Despite the fact that there was no set sry, the more deliveries she made,
the more she would earn.
If she could get a job despite her criminal history, bing a delivery rider might be a decent
choice for her.
After all, if she took a leave of absence from the Environment and Sanitation Administration, Yulissa
would have more work to do. It would mean she was shifting her own workload to others.
Moreover, the Environment and Sanitation Administration had a fixed sry, and now she had to
cover a quarter of her grandmother’s medical expenses. She was in desperate need of money at
the time.
“What are you thinking about?” Lillian’s voice suddenly sounded in her cars.
Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her friend, who had already arrived. Im thinking
about whether to be a delivery rider,” she replied.
Lillian was taken aback. “You want to do food delivery? It is a difficult job, and you are more likely to
receiveints. Few women choose to be delivery riders, and your physical strength may be
insufficient.”
It was typically a male-dominated upation.
“But at least I will not be a burden to others. Whether I do well or not, it is my own business. Unlike
in the Environment and Sanitation Administration, where if I go on leave, someone else must do my
job, Rosalie exined.
“That’s true,” Lillian said. Then, as if she remembered something, she asked, “By the way, why did
you arrive so early today? Did you take a leave from work?”

e remembered that Rosalie’s shift at the Environment and Sanitation Administration was supposed
to endter than hers.
“Yes, I took a few days off because I hurt my hand. Because of that, I decided I might as well think
about switching jobs,” Rosalie answered.
Only then did Lillian notice that Rosalie’s fingers were wrapped in bandages. Concerned, she
asked, “What happened to your hand? Did something happen?”
Rosalie didn’t keep it from her friend and briefly exined what had happened the previous night.
After hearing Rosalie’s exnation, Lillian clenched her teeth in anger. “How could your father burn
that photo album when he knew how much it meant to you? Even if he did want to favor Loretta, he
should not have treated you this way.” Rosalie could not help butugh bitterly. “Lillian, that’s exactly
how my father treats me, she remarked inwardly.
Inparison to the previous night, when she had a breakdown, she was now feeling more
detached. She had alreadye to terms with the fact that her father no longer loved her, let alone
showed her any type of familial affection.
-Otherwise, when she was in prison, her father would have visited her at least once.
“Are your hands okay?” Lillian asked with concern.
“It is all right. Because of the bandages, it appears even worse than it is. I am not in too much pain
today, and I can even pick up things on my own now,” Rosalie said.
Relieved, Lillian ordered some food for herself.

As they continued their meal, Rosalie learned about the discovery of the witness mentioned during
their phone call. It Turned out that one of Lillian’s colleagues at her design institute had posted a
video in their group chat. In that video, Lillian identified the witness who had testified during
Rosalie’s trial back then.
The witness was the husband of Lillian’s colleague’s rtive, and he was currently residing in
Sloummont.
To be safe, Lillian asked for the person’s name casually. However, her colleague did not know the
person’s name. All they knew was that hisst name was “Concord.”
Lillian was even more convinced because his surname, Concord, was unusual.
However, just in case, Lillian still showed Rosalie the video.
It was a video of a home wedding, full of joy andughter. Rosalie’s eyes were fixed on the groom in
the video.
The groom’s face was filled with happiness as he participated in various activities amid the cheers
of the people around him.
It seemed like an ordinary video of a joyous asion, but the only unusual thing was the groom
himself.
Rosalie stared at the face, her heart racing with fear. She could still vividly remember that man, the
one who had pointed a cold finger at her in the courtroom, falsely iming that he had seen her
drinking and had made an effort to dissuade her from driving. He also imed that she had ignored
his advice and insisted on driving the car.
But in reality, everything he said never happened.
She had no connection to him, and the only thing she knew about him was that they had dined at
the same restaurant. He was sitting at the table next to hers.
She still couldn’t understand why he had said those things in court. “Did someone force him to
testify against me? Was someone determined to frame me for the crime?” she wondered.
However, because the witnesses had no personal stake in the oue of the case, the judge found
their testimony more credible, particrly when there were multiple witnesses.
“Is it him?” Lillian asked.
“Yeah, it’s probably him. Do you think you can find out where he is now?” Rosalie asked.
“There shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll ask my colleagueter. So, are you going to Sloummont to find
him?” Lillian inquired.
“At the very least, I want to gather some basic information before deciding. All the witnesses from
back then seem to have disappeared, and he’s the only lead we have, Rosalie uttered
Lillian understood her concerns Rosalie was concerned that their only lead would also vanish in the
end.
Rosalie’s car ident was too suspicious, and with so many witnesses using her, it seemed like
there was a mastermind plotting against her.
“Sounds like a n. Let’s gather information first, Lillian agreed
As they continued their conversation, Rosalie suddenly noticed something and raised her head. A
car parked nearby had its window open, and a man inside was staring in their direction.
