Chapter 236
If one would just think about it, with the local tyrant of Strico backing someone’s case, was there
anything that could not be overturned?
Moreover, Rosalie was innocent from the beginning! No matter who the puppeteer behind the
scenes was, they will surely be exposed!
Lillian cast aside her previous gloominess, and her mood improved. “It’s almost noon. Let’s have
lunch together,” she suggested.
Rosalie nodded, and the four of them exited the detention center and got into a car.
Lillian was busy flipping through the local food rankings in Sloummont and suggested a few ces
for Rosalie to choose from. As for the two men, they had no objections. Callum drove the group to
the restaurant for lunch.
It was a long-established local restaurant renowned for its specialties in Sloummont. After they
arrived, they requested a private room and began cing their orders.

Of course, Lillian was mainly responsible for ordering dishes. However, she just ordered those
rmended dishes in the food ranking list.
After ordering a variety of dishes with the phone, Lillian cast a quick nce at the nearly 20 dishes
selected for their party of four. She said sheepishly, “It seems like I might have ordered a bit too
much.”
“It’s fine if you like them. We don’te here often, so it’s a good opportunity to taste some of the
local specialties,” Callum said.
Lillian instantly felt reassured.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Lillian used her phone to show Rosalie various posters
and still photos from “The King’s Lover.”
“How is it? Doesn’t Dominic’s appearance give you that alluring and seductive feeling?” Lillian
asked excitedly.
Callum’s face immediately darkened, feeling as if the woman was always engrossed in pursuing
idols, and clearly forgot that he was her boyfriend!
What was even more infuriating to him was how she often put on a facade of being deeply
engrossed in him when they were together, but the moment Callum looked away, she was back to
obsessing over various idols and young heartthrobs.
Before Rosalie could see it, the phone was snatched away by Jonathan.
Jonathan lowered his head, looking at the stills and posters on the phone and carefully examining
them, one by one. After a moment, he raised his head, his gaze fixed on Rosalie. “You liked this
type?”
Rosalie was embarrassed. “Uh… Well, I used to be quite a fan of this actor. He has good acting
skills, and he’s been in some good TV series.”
“Is that so? All right. I’ll have my secretary arrange a meeting with Dominic for you. You can meet
him in person and maybe get an autograph. How does that sound?” Jonathan suggested.
“What?” Rosalie was dumbfounded.
Lillian, on the other hand, had her eyes widened. Her face was filled with envy.
“Oh my gosh, is Jonathan trying to help Rosalie as a fangirl?” Lillian wondered silently. She was
almost in awe. It was remarkable for her. Furthermore, considering Jonathan’s abilities, she had a
hunch that he could likely arrange meetings with any celebrity, regardless of Rosalie’s preferences.
Callum looked at Lillian as his expression grew even more solemn. “Did she really need to disy
her admiration so tantly on her face?” he thought to himself.
It was just a celebrity. He wondered if merely meeting them and getting an autograph could
generate this level of admiration!
Just at that moment, a waiter entered with the dishes, finally breaking the strange atmosphere in the
private room.
“Okay, let’s eat first,” Jonathan said.
The four of them began to eat. While they were eating shrimp, Jonathan took the initiative to peel
the shrimp for Rosalie. Rosalie felt a bit embarrassed, especially with Lillian and Callum present.
Lillian was even winking and making teasing expressions, making Rosalie feel even more uneasy.
However, Jonathan carried himself with an air of indifference, seemingly impervious to the opinions
of others.
After finishing their meal, Jonathan reminded Rosalie, “Don’t forget to take your medicine 20
minutes after the meal
“Okay,” Rosalie answered.
“Are you sick?” Lillian asked in surprise, showing immediate concern.
“No, it’s just some medication for joint pain,” Rosalie replied.
Lillian paused, well aware of her friend’s three-year ordeal in prison. After her release, Rosalie
developed rheumatic pain that caused her difort and pain, especially during cold and gloomy
weather.
Lillian had advised her to seek medical treatment previously, but Rosalie had always found various
excuses to avoid it.
She knew Rosalie believed medical treatment was costly and preferred to tough it out. She had
even offered to cover the medical expenses, but Rosalie had declined her offer.
Now, Rosalie was actively taking steps to improve her health, likely with Jonathan’s assistance.
Instantly, Lillian’s fondness for Jonathan increased.
Even if Jonathan had something to do with Rosalie’s suffering in the prison, he did not know her at
that time.
Now, she could see that Jonathan genuinely cared for Rosalie. If he could truly be a romantic
partner for Rosalie, it might turn out to be a positive development.
For Rosalie, who had endured so much suffering, such a turn of events would indeed be a sweet
reward.
When the time came for Rosalie to take her medicine, Jonathan poured her a ss of warm water.
He carefully opened the medication, ced the pills in her palm, and watched as she swallowed
them.
Jonathan’s actions were so delicate and gentle that Lillian could not help but admire his care for
Rosalie.
The measure of a man’s affection for a woman was not determined by how much money he could
spend on her or how charming he might be. It was about the things he was willing to do for her.
After taking the medicine, Lillian took Rosalie to the restroom and asked curiously, “Are you and
Jonathan really together now?”
“Yes,” Rosalie nodded without hiding anything. In front of Lillian, she was open about her feelings.
“Lillian, I thought I might never fall in love again, but now, I genuinely want to try being with him, to
see if… we can go all the way.”
Her feelings were delicate, and she was more cautious with each step she took, all because of past
heartbreak.
“Why not?” Lillian patted Rosalie on the shoulder and continued, “If it were in the past, I might have
thought that a rtionship between you and Jonathan was impossible. But today, I can see that he’s
serious about you. Think about it. Everyone has their opinions about Jonathan, but it seems that
when ites to women, he is quite principled. There was only that one fiancée, Mnie, right?”
As she spoke, Lillian suddenly paused, looking a bit embarrassed as she nced at Rosalie. After
all, Mnie was not just Jonathan’ste fiancée. She was also a victim of the car ident case.
