Chapter 848


    Zachary could not help but want to take a few steps forward and get closer to Rosalie, but the


    bodyguard next to her raised his hand to stop him again.


    Then, Zachary looked at the hand in front of him. She was so close to him, but now he could not


    even approach her.


    In the past, he thought that he could fight against the pressure from his family and be with her.


    However, in the end, he was the one who destroyed his purest feelings.


    “I really loved you before, Rosalie,” Zachary murmured in a low voice. His hand was still extended


    forward, but no matter what he did, he was unable to touch Rosalie.


    Rosalie quietly looked at the man in front of her, who was only 35 years old but had suffered


    hardship.


    Even if he said so at this moment, it did not trigger any emotion in her heart. “Zachary, I only wish


    that I had never been loved by you in my life. After saying that, Rosalie turned around and left.


    The bodyguard followed Rosalie and left. Zachary stumbled and stood there dumbfoundedly until he


    could not see her figure anymore.


    “She said… she won’t forgive me. She said… she wished that she had never been loved by me in


    this life!” he eximed inwardly.


    He had loved two women in his life, but he personally ended their rtionship on his own for one of


    the women. Meanwhile, the other one personally dragged him and the Xanthos family into hell.


    It all turned out to be in vain for him. There was nothing.


    “Haha… Hahaha…” Zacharyughed bitterly. His hands, which were hanging limply beside him,


    were clenched tightly. He let his fingernails stab his palms constantly as if it could prove that he was


    still alive.


    In a corner not far away, Zendaya secretly put away her phone proudly. She had just taken some


    photos of Zachary and Rosalie being together. Moreover, she took the photos at some kind of angle


    and did not get the -bodyguard in the photos. It would make people think that only Rosalie


    and Zachary were at the scene.


    If Zendaya were to upload these photos on the inte when the time. came, it would definitely


    create a rumor because it wouldbine the


    10.49


    fact that Zachary had indeed saved Rosalie. It would be a situation where an ex-boyfriend saved his


    ex-girlfriend. Rosalie would be the


    ex-girlfriend who lived a glorious and wealthy life, while Zachary would be the ex-boyfriend who was


    living in a dire state, being hurt, and having a trapped life.


    Such a topic would be bound to attract much-heated discussion.


    Indeed, it would be very embarrassing because, by that time, many people wouldpare the


    current condition of the Xanthos family with their lifestyle back then. However, Zendaya had


    experienced enough hardship of not having any money over the years. As long as she had money,


    she was not bothered by being humiliated.


    She wanted the topic to be heatedly discussed, and then the Youngblood family would take out a


    huge sum of money to “pay” the debt that they owed because Rosalie’s life was saved.


    Just as Zendaya was thinking happily and wanted to leave the venue, she was suddenly


    surrounded by several strange men in ck suits.


    “W-What do you want to do?” Zendaya suddenly felt uneasy.


    “Mr. Youngblood said that you need to hand the thing over,” one of them said.


    “Is it Jonathan?” Zendaya mused to herself. She was shocked and pretended to be confused before


    saying, “The thing? What thing? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


    The man looked like he did not want to argue more about it with her. As such, two of the men


    directly grabbed her, while one of them put his hand into her pocket and took out the phone directly.


    “Let me go… Are you robbing me in broad daylight?” Zendaya yelled. Her voice immediately


    attracted the attention of those people in the hospital. Meanwhile, Zachary also noticed that


    something was going on. When he saw Zendaya being surrounded by several men, he rushed over


    in an instant. “What are you trying to do?”


    “Your sister took pictures of something she shouldn’t have taken. She refused to hand them over, so


    we have to resort to this,” one of the men said.

    “What did you mean by her taking photos of things that she shouldn’t? What photos can she take?


    Who are you? Let go of Zendaya!” Zachary shouted.


    10.49


    “They are my men. If I don’t tell them to let go, they won’t let go!” A cold voice sounded behind


    Zachary, which instantaneously made his blood feel as if it was frozen.


    Zachary then thought, “This voice is… Jonathan’s! The man who can suppress the Xanthos family


    at will and make the Xanthos family meet its demise. He’s also the one Rosalie loves. Moreover,


    he’s the only one… who shouldn’t be provoked in Strico!”


    Zachary turned around as if he was doing it in slow motion, only to find that those passersby in the


    surrounding area were gone. In the distance, there was a row of security guards standing to prevent


    people from approaching the scene.


    “As expected, it’s Jonathan! He can even easilymand the security guards of the hospital and


    make such a ce empty in just a few minutes!” he eximed inwardly.


    At that time, the bodyguards took Zendaya’s phone and handed it to Jonathan.


    As she did not set a password on her phone, Jonathan was able to open it easily and looked


    through one of the albums. When he saw those photos taken by Zendaya just now, a mocking smile


    appeared on his face, but his gaze became colder.


    “Look at it yourself. What photos did she take?” Jonathan directly threw the phone to Zachary.


    Zachary looked at the photos on her phone, and his expression suddenly changed. He turned to


    look at Zendaya with disbelief in his eyes.


    “Zendaya, w-why did you take these photos?”


    Zendaya’s gaze flickered, and she looked slightly guilty. “I was just casually taking photos, Zach!”


    “You were hiding here. Is it really because you were taking photos casually?” Zachary’s expression


    was grim. He could guess Zendaya’s purpose for taking these photos.


    Moreover, he felt even more embarrassed because he was able to guess her intention correctly.


    “I’m telling you, stop wanting to ask for money. I volunteered to save Rosalie, and I don’t want


    anything in return!” Zachary said. Then, he mused to himself, “But even so, Rosalie still paid for


    Mom’s medical expenses!”


    “This is what Rosalie owes us from the beginning, Zach. If it weren’t for


    10:39


    her, would our family be like this?” Zendaya said as she ced all the resentment on Rosalie.


    Jonathan suddenly sneered. “In other words, do I owe the Xanthos family as well? After all, I was


    the one who dealt with the Xanthos family back then.”


    Zendaya’s face suddenly turned pale. She wondered how she could forget the actual culprit. Back


    then, problems started to ur in the Xanthos family because of Jonathan.


    Zachary took a deep breath and said to Jonathan, “I don’t want to talk about everything that


    happened back then, Mr. Youngblood. Moreover, I won’t ask for anything from Rosalie.”


    Then, Jonathan walked slowly to Zachary, and the former’s handsome face was full of coldness.


    “Since you don’t want to ask for anything, then don’t appear in front of Rosalie again, let alone tell


    her about the previous memories of the two of you being together. Even if you really loved her


    before, you’ll have nothing to do with her from now on!”
