Chapter 822


    When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Madeline sitting on the couch with a meaningful


    smile. She said, “It seems that you are still reluctant to leave your sweetheart. You yed hero and


    saved a damsel in distress today, but unfortunately, no matter how reluctant you are, you can’t be


    with her.”


    “I just happened to pass by that ce. Since I have decided to marry you, you don’t need to worry


    about it,” Callum said indifferently.


    “That would be best.” Madeline got up and walked to Callum. “You should know how much I did for


    you. I helped you get back the White family and convinced my parents to let you continue to be the


    chairman after our marriage of convenience. Lillian can’t do what I did for you. She will never be


    your backer and help you with anything.”


    Madeline believed that she was the only one who could help him.

    With that, Madeline raised her arms and wrapped them around Callum’s neck.


    Callum’s body stiffened slightly and his eyes shed. But this time, he didn’t push her away.


    Madeline’s eyes shed withcency. She thought, “He’ll be conquered by me after all.”


    “Callum, only I can really help you be a person above all others and fight side by side with you


    without letting you be looked down upon by anyone. Lillian will only be your stumbling block,”


    Madeline said confidently.


    Callum’s eyes darkened.


    He thought, “Lillian, Lillian, wait for me a little longer, okay? I just hope she’ll give me some time.


    Just give me some more time.”


    Rosalie and Jonathan returned to the Youngblood residence and cleaned up. Rosalie also


    thoroughly checked Jonathan’s body. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, she felt


    relieved.


    “Don’t protect me like this next time. Fortunately, what they threw today were only eggs, vegetable


    leaves, and papers. If they sshed sulfuric acid on us, the consequences would be unimaginable,”


    Rosalie said. Thinking of what happened just now, she was still scared, especially when he only


    focused on protecting her and putting her in his arms to


    prevent those things from hitting her.


    But at that time, she was helpless. He was protecting her, but she couldn’t do anything else.


    This feeling made her feel ufortable.


    Jonathan said, “Even so, it’s better to have it sshed on me than on you. Rosie, I’m your husband.


    It is natural for a husband to protect his wife.”


    “But…”


    “The only people I can protect like this are you and our kids, so there are no buts. Will you sit by


    and do nothing if you can protect me one day?”


    Rosalie held her breath. She knew that she wouldn’t sit by and do nothing. She would protect him


    with her own life.


    “What’s wrong with that man today? Is he involved in awsuit with you?” Jonathan changed the


    subject and asked.


    “He was used of intentional injury in awsuit I handled back then, and hiswyer is my mentor,”


    said she.


    “It’s Connor Smuckler, right?” Jonathan said.


    “You know him?” Rosalie was slightly surprised and then realized that he had thoroughly


    investigated her life in Lofbury when she returned to Strico, so she nodded and added, “Yes, it was


    also the first time I met Mr. Smuckler. I won thatwsuit and he lost, but he didn’t get angry. Instead,


    he took me as his apprentice.”


    Thatwsuit was a rare defeat for Connor, but Rosalie still felt touched when she thought of what he


    said to her at the time.


    At that time, Connor said, “Compared with the so-called failures, it is more important to find out the


    truth. Although wewyers should defend our clients, we can’t forfeit our conscience and not seek


    the truth.”


    Connor was an uprightwyer and was highly respected in the legal profession. He was someone


    Rosalie admired deep down.


    Rosalie said, “The man earlier is called Yoel Goldman. He used to be a staff member of an agency,


    but he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, so he lost his job. I heard that his family


    used a lot of money to get him the job back then and even took on some debts.”


    Therefore, it was not difficult to understand Yoel’s hostility and resentment towards her. However,


    Yoel not only targeted her but also mentioned Connor today.

    Thinking of this, Rosalie suddenly shuddered. “By the way, will there be news about what happened


    today? If Mr. Smuckler is implicated…”


    “Don’t worry. I’ve asked someone to deal with it. I won’t let this matter spread online,” Jonathan


    said.


    Rosalie knew that he was a man of his word. Even if what happened today was really discussed


    online, it would only be on a small scale and not be viral.


    But even so, she still called Connor, who was in Lofbury, and told him about this matter. She wanted


    him to be mentally prepared in case someone mentioned it in front of him.


    After all, she didn’t want Connor’s reputation to be damaged, especially by such nasty denigration.


    “Mr. Smuckler, I’m sorry. I will handle this matter on my side. Now we have called the police and that


    man has been detained. It was just that it happened in a downtown area, so even if the relevant


    news were deleted, I’m afraid there would still be some…”


    “We don’t have to be afraid of this if we did nothing wrong.” Connor’s voice came from the other end


    of the phone, exuding a strange charm thatforted people. “You and I both had a clear


    conscience in that case. Since we have chosen to bewyers, we will face many doubts sooner or


    later. If you n to continue working in this industry, there may be more to be faced in the future.”


    “I got it,” Rosalie said.


    “Anyway, you said on the phonest time that Jonathan treats you very well, so I’m relieved. Next


    time, I will visit you, Jen, and Guille, whom you mentioned, in Strico,” Connor said.


    As Connor was long in the tooth, Rosalie hurriedly said, “I should bring them to see you in Lofbury,


    instead.”


    “Haha. I want to see Strico too. I’ll go over when I’m done with the cases on hand,” Connor said.


    They talked for a while before ending the call.


    “It seems that you respect your mentor very much,” Jonathan said.


    Rosalie said, “Well, he is a very upright person. I defeated him in thewsuit at the time, but he was


    not displeased at all. He valued the truth more than the case. He said that the defendant’s interests


    should be safeguarded, but it doesn’t mean that we can forfeit our conscience,


    reverse the truth, and create more injustices and victims in this world.”
