Chapter 513
“Should I go wait for him in his office?” Fiona suggested.
“I’m afraid that wouldn’t be appropriate, Ms. Haberly. It’s better to wait outside,” the secretary
replied.
Fiona clenched her teeth and could only take a seat on the couch outside.
She felt that the secretary’s attitude toward her today was different from before. While she still
appeared respectful on the surface and even poured her a cup of coffee when she sat down, there
was no longer that sense of ttery.
“Was it because Calvin publicly stated in the interview that they weren’t in a romantic rtionship?”
As she thought of this, Fiona couldn’t help but feel irritated.

Just because Calvin said so, her ssmates at school started mocking her, not to mention the
snobbish people on the set.
Many people had initially praised her because of her rtionship with Calvin, but now she felt like
she had been pushed back to square one.
At that moment, Fiona noticed a high-ranking executive from thepany walking out of the
elevator and approaching the secretary’s desk. He asked, “Is Mr. Gunner not back yet?”
“Yes, I heard Mr. Gunner went to the Legal Department with someone,” the secretary replied.
“Yeah, he went to the Legal Department. Word is spreading in our department, and people are
wondering if that woman is the one Mr. Gunner mentioned in the interview, the one he’s in love with.
I mean, when have you ever seen Mr. Gunner apany a woman to the Legal Department?” The
executive couldn’t resist gossiping.
“What kind of person is she?” the secretary asked curiously.
“I heard she’s a legal assistant from aw firm, but I don’t know the details.”
“It must be Rosalie!” Fiona concluded inwardly as she listened. “Calvin had ced all his attention
on Rosalie. No, I can’t let this continue. If Calvin ends up with Rosalie, then in the future, I will have
no ce by his side!”
Rosalie was somewhat surprised when she left Gunner Group and found herself confronted by
Fiona..
“Rosalie, what a coincidence, running into you here,” Fiona said with a smile.
“A coincidence?” Rosalie thought as she raised an eyebrow. She didn’t think it was much of a
coincidence to see her cousin as soon as she left the building.
“Do you need something, Fiona?” Rosalie asked directly.
“It’s not a big deal, but since we ran into each other, how about finding a ce to sit and chat?”
Fiona invited.
“No, thanks. It’s my working hours now, and I have to get back to thew firm,” Rosalie declined. “If
you don’t have any urgent matters, I’ll be on my way.”
“Wait!” Fiona hurriedly called out. “I-I wanted to ask you about your rtionship with Calvin.”
Rosalie looked at Fiona and thought, “I’m afraid this is the real reason why Fiona blocked me here.”
“I think that’s my personal business,” Rosalie said. In other words, she had noment.
“Rosalie, that day at the police station, Calvin said he was in love with you. So, what are your
feelings for him? And I noticed. that Mr. Jonathan Youngblood seems to care about you a lot. Have
you really broken up with him?” Fiona asked carefully.
Rosalie simply looked at Fiona and didn’t answer.
Fiona showed an awkward expression and said, “Rosalie, you know, I don’t have a high level of
education, and I’ve made mistakes in the past, but now Calvin is the only one I can rely on, and
these days, I really like him.”
She continued as she blushed slightly, “You still have Jonathan, but I only have
will you?”
Rosalie stared at Fiona until thetter felt guilty.
Calvin. You won’t take Calvin away from me,
“Rosalie, why are you staring at me? I know I said something that upset you in the past, but I’m
being sincere now.”
“Fiona, are you hoping I’ll answer that I don’t love Calvin, that I have no feelings for him? So that
you can feel at ease? At least you can stand on the moral high ground, and if I do develop feelings
for Calvin in the future, you can use my words against me?” Rosalie asked.
Fiona’s expression revealed that Rosalie had hit the mark. That was indeed her original intention.
“Fiona, do you not find it ridiculous? You need someone else’smitment for your own feelings.
For the sake of Granny, I’ll remind you once more. Calvin is not so easily deceived. If you withdraw
now, you might still have a chance. But the more you gain, the worse it will be in the future…” said
Rosalie.
If a man like Calvin found out he had been deceived, the consequences would undoubtedly be dire
for Fiona.
“What do you mean by that?” Fiona immediately changed her expression. “Are you threatening me?
As long as you don’t say anything, everything between me and Calvin will be fine.”
As she watched her cousin’s reaction, Rosalie knew that no matter how much she said, it would be
in vain. “Fine, do as you wish. I’ve said all I wanted to. You won’t need to find me regarding anything
rted to Calvin in the future.”
Rosalie then turned and walked away.
Fiona stood still, but there was a smug look in her eyes. Slowly, she took out a voice recorder from
her pocket. She already had the content she wanted, and with some editing, she would get the
effect she desired!
A ck Bentley parked in the shadows. The car was silent, with Jonathan sitting inside, looking out
the window in the direction of the residential gate, lost in thought.
Carlos didn’t even dare to say anything.
After an unknown amount of time, a slender figure entered Carlos’ line of sight. He couldn’t help but
feel relieved. Finally, Rosalie had returned. What’s more, she had returned alone!
Carlos had been worried that some other man might apany Rosalie back. If that were the
case, it would undoubtedly upset Jonathan.
However, to his surprise, Jonathan didn’t get out of the car, and he continued to gaze out the
window even after Rosalie’s figure disappeared into the residential area.
“Mr. Youngblood, Ms. Leighton has gone inside…” Carlos reminded, thinking that Jonathan might
not have noticed Rosalie. However, Jonathan seemed not to hear it and just looked out of the
window.
“So, did Mr. Youngblood see Rosalie just now?” Carlos wondered inwardly. “But if he did see her,
why didn’t he get out of the car? He had been waiting for Rosalie for over an hour today.”
After another hour had passed, Jonathan finally gave a faint order, “Let’s head back to the
Youngblood residence.”
