Chapter 265


    When the car arrived at the banquet venue, Jonathan took Rosalie’s hand and walked into the


    banquet hall.


    Of course, Rosalie was the focus of countless eyes. After all, Jonathan, by himself, was already the


    center of attention among the attendees. Besides, everyone in Strico knew Jonathan hadn’t had any


    women around him in the past three


    years.


    Even when Mnie and Jonathan attended some public events all those years back, they hadn’t


    held hands. But now, since they entered the banquet hall, Jonathan had been holding hands with


    Rosalie. This difference naturally made people feel there was something out of the ordinary


    between them.


    Many socialites from Strico had attended the banquet today. Some of them more or less had a


    certain kind of opinion about Jonathan.


    After all, ever since Mnie passed away, Jonathan had never been involved in any scandal and


    was well-known for not being interested in women in Strico. That was why several socialites were


    undoubtedly raring to have a go and see if they could have a chance with him.


    But no one dared to take the first step. After all, a woman had deliberately tried to approach


    Jonathan long ago, but it was not a secret in the social circle that she had ended up meeting a


    terrible end due to that.


    They were initially grateful that no one had taken over the spot beside Jonathan, but who knew that


    a woman who looked so intimate with him would suddenly appear beside him?


    No one knew who this woman was, but she was dressed to the nines with extraordinary


    temperament. Some socialites had even recognized the gown Rosalie wore. It was a limited-edition


    item from a luxury brand. Ordinary people were unable to buy it even if they had the money. Only


    VIP customers of the highest level were qualified to buy it.


    All these made the people watching admire her and be envious of her.


    Rosalie followed beside Jonathan and watched him talking to some elites of Strico. Jonathan


    introduced her simply as his girlfriend.


    It seemed like a simple sentence, yet carried a huge weight within.


    Jonathan’s introduction could be said to have confirmed Rosalie’s identity. In the upper-ss


    society of Strico, surely no one would dare to underestimate her in the future.


    At this moment, there was a faintmotion over at the entrance of the banquet hall. Rosalie


    turned around and saw two figures walking in surrounded by others.


    She happened to know both of them.


    They were Calvin and her half-sister, Loretta.


    Speaking of which, Rosalie hadn’t seen Loretta for a while. But when she was reading the news


    online, she did see some gossip about her.


    It could be seen from the news that Loretta now had good resources, and Calvin also intended to


    make her famous. Many people even spected that Loretta might be abandoned after being with


    Calvin for no more than three months.


    However, three months had passed, and Loretta still upied the coveted ce of being Calvin’s


    girlfriend. It was undoubtedly a p in the face for the many people ready tough at her.


    Therefore, some people were saying that the entertainment circle’s scion, Calvin, had been finally


    won over by a Cindere, who had an ordinary background. Plus, Loretta had also taken this


    opportunity to increase her poprity.


    Today, Loretta had worn a dark red gown with red, seductive lipstick over her lips, which somehow


    gave off the impression that she was quite the celebrity. Right next to her was Calvin, dressed in a


    navy blue suit. His handsome face still showed a slight indifference while his body exuded an aura


    that distanced him from everyone.


    Although the fact that Calvin changed his girlfriends one after another all the time made everyone


    feel like he was a yboy, his appearancepletely belied that assumption. No one would think


    that someone who looked like Calvin could be a yboy.


    She thought, ‘Rather than assuming he was someone passionate, it would be more urate to say


    that he was heartless. Would a person like him really care about someone else?’ When this thought


    shed through Rosalie’s mind, she


    somehow recalled Calvin’s silver bracelet.


    It was also because of the silver bracelet that she had met Calvin.


    Calvin had held onto the bracelet that only a child could wear as if it were a treasure. “I wonder,


    what is the story behind that bracelet?” pondered Rosalie.


    “Who are you looking at?” A soft, husky voice resounded out of nowhere around Rosalie’s ear.


    She suddenly came to her senses. When she turned around, her lips almost touched Jonathan’s.


    Only then did she realize that his face was so close to her that she had almost kissed him just now.


    Jonathan opened his mouth and said in a low voice, “No matter who you are looking at, only I can


    have a ce in your heart.”


    As he said that, his gaze went past her and looked at the figure standing at the entrance.


    Jonathan didn’t expect that one day, his childhood ymate, Calvin, and he would fall in love with


    the same woman. But the difference was that he had won over Rosalie’s heart now, while Calvin still


    didn’t know that the person he had been looking for was Rosalie.


    “Of course, if possible, I will never let Calvin know about that,” thought Jonathan.


    When he looked at Calvin, Calvin seemed to have felt his gaze. His eyes also turned toward


    Jonathan, and their gazes met


    in the air.


    After a while, Calvin slowly walked with Loretta toward Jonathan.

    Calvin was a little stunned when he saw Rosalie. Today, she looked slightly different from her usual


    self. Rosalie’s dark hair was pulled into a hairstyle that made her look graceful and lively. Plus,


    coupled with her elegant makeup, it drew everyone’s gaze toward her.


    Under the lights, her eyes seemed to be sparkling with something inexplicable. Even through the


    brightness of her eyes, Calvin could see a different kind of perseverance in them. It made him feel


    as if he were looking at the eyes of the little girl he had met a long time back.


    At that time, the little girl with that familiar look in her eyes had said to him, “Don’t be afraid. I will


    take you away with me.”


    And that little girl had really managed to do it. Step by step, she had finally taken him away from


    that dangerous ce.


    When his ankle had been sprained, he thought that she would leave him behind to escape by


    herself, but she had carried him on her back and persisted in her promise of taking him away.


    When hope was given while one was in despair, that feeling would be an unforgettable thing in their


    lives.


    “Calvin,” called out Loretta uneasily from beside Calvin when she saw that his gaze was fixed on


    Rosalie.


    Today, Rosalie had surprised Loretta. She initially thought that her dress was enough to be the


    focus of today’s banquet. After all, her whole get-up had cost a lot of money. It could be said to be


    more expensive than what some socialites in the banquet had dressed up in.


    But when she looked at Rosalie’s dress, Loretta felt a twinge in her heart. What made Loretta even


    more ufortable was that when she looked at Rosalie, she seemed to have glimpsed a shadow


    of the former Rosalie, awyer who dazzled everyone and had a bright future. At that time, Loretta


    had only been a small-time actress.
