Chapter 234
Chapter 234
Previously, when Callum told her about what he did, she had praised him profusely. Of course, Callum
had not missed the chance to flirt with her a little after the praise.
In truth, being flirted with by Callum didn’t bother her at all. In fact, she… Well, she sort of liked it.
Lillian had analyzed herself for a long time, wondering why she felt this way. Ultimately, she concluded
that it might be because of Callum’s look.
After all, his looks suited her taste quite well, and she was a sucker for good looks. Who could me
her for feeling that way?
Humans were inherently visual creatures, after all.
Meanwhile, outside the car, the two men who were casting nces at each other didn’t share the same
harmonious atmosphere as the two women inside.;
“I didn’t expect you to being along today, Mr. Youngblood,” Callum spoke up.
“Rosie is my girlfriend. Of course, her matters concern me,” Jonathan replied indifferently.
“Is that so?” Callum asked. “About that case involving Rosalie from back then, Mr. Youngblood, it
seems like the person who died was your fiancée, Mnie. Do you believe Rosalie was guilty or
innocent?”

Jonathan’s gaze turned icy in an instant. They were sharp as a piercing ice de as he looked at
Callum. “I will ensure justice for her.” He naturally wouldn’t let go of the people who had tried to harm
Rosalie back then.
“Is that right?” Callum smiled faintly and didn’t press further. After all, he was merely an outsider in
Rosalie’s case.
However, what piqued his curiosity was that even though Jonathan was now with Rosalie, he hadn’t
taken any steps to help her clear her name. It was rather odd.
He wondered if it could be because of his rtionship with the Hamilton family. After all, back then,
Mnie had died in the car ident involving Rosalie. The Youngblood family and the Hamilton family
had always had a good rtionship.
“But what I didn’t expect was that Mr. White would be willing to lend a hand and help my girlfriend
investigate the case. I should thank you.” Jonathan’s lips formed a smile, and the earlier icy demeanor
melted away as if bathed in the warmth of a spring day. “Shall we proceed to the car? If we linger any
longer, we may risk dying our arrival.”
“All right, let’s get in,” Callum replied. He had only interacted with Jonathan once before, and that was
when Jonathan hade to his vi with Rosalie to take Lillian away.
Jonathan was said to be unpredictable, and his thoughts were hard to guess. Despite being a powerful
figure in Strico and controlling the vast Youngblood Group, very few people knew his preferences.
Before Rosalie, the only woman associated with him was Mnie.
Other women who tried to get close to Jonathan seemed to have met unfavorable oues. It was
truly a mystery why a man like him would take an interest in Rosalie.
In Callum’s opinion, Rosalie was just an ordinary woman.
However, at the thought of that, Callum couldn’t help but touch his nose and indulge in a bit of self-
mockery.
As for himself, didn’t he, too, almost go mad for over three years searching for Lillian, an ostensibly
ordinary woman? He had scoured the world and revisited the ces they had once been together
countless times, just like a fool.
But now, no matter how, he had finally found that heartless woman!
The two men got into the car. Since the two women were already seated in the back, Callum took the
driver’s seat while Jonathan sat in the passenger seat.
As the car cruised down the road, Lillian suddenly felt that her rather old and shabby car had taken on
an air of sophistication. If people knew that the CEO of the Youngblood Group and the CEO of the
White Maple Group were both in her humble vehicle, they would probably be astonished.
During the journey, the two men in the front remained silent, while the two women in the back chatted
away.
But most of the conversation came from Lillian, with Rosalie mostly listening.
“By the way, have you seen the recent hit TV series called ‘The King’s Lover’?” Lillian asked.
Rosalie shook her head. Her daily routine mainly consisted of work during the day, a quick browse
through some news articles on the web in the evening, and then off to bed.
“It’s quite good. The plot is… Well, I won’t spoil it for you. I’ll send you the linkter. And guess what?
The male lead is none other than Dominic Caesar, the actor you used to adore,” Lillian said. Recently,
she had again fallen under this actor’s spell because of the TV series.
Of course, she had her time of fascination with him back in the day, but she had shifted her interest to
other actors when she
became engrossed in different shows.
As a fan, Lillian was definitely the type who wasn’t faithful, changing her favorite celebrity from one day
to the next.
Rosalie was momentarily stunned. Dominic-how long had it been since shest paid attention to that
actor? Before she went to jail, she had been a fan of him. Of course, calling herself a fan was a bit of
an overstatement; she had merely contributed to the viewership ratings and asionally purchased
products endorsed by the actor.
Back when she used to go shopping with Lillian, she would often introduce the TV series led by the
actor to her. At that time, she believed the actor had impressive looks and acting skills. She thought he
might be quite popr in the future if given the opportunity.
Hearing Lillian mention Dominic now gave Rosalie a sense of nostalgia. It seemed that since her
release from prison, her emotions had always been tense. How long had it been since she genuinely
rxed?
Today, for some reason, despite having to deal with something important, her mood was strangely
rxed as she sat in the
car.
“All right,” Rosalie said. It had indeed been a long time since she had watched a TV series..
There was no opportunity in prison, and after her release, she hadn’t had the mental space for it. The
exhaustion from her daily work had felt almost crushing.
Nowadays, even though her work shift ended at 9 p.m. at the diner every day, Rosalie still had one.or
two hours of free time each evening before going to bed. Plus, she didn’t have to wake up as early in
the morning as she used to when she worked in the Environment and Sanitation Administration. Her
life was rtively more structured.
In the front seat, Jonathan remained impassive upon hearing their conversation, but his eyes flickered
slightly.
As for Callum, when he heard Lillian once again rmending the TV series “The King’s Lover,” he
couldn’t help but feel speechless.
It was because Lillian had been talking about how good this show was, how moving the plot was, and
most importantly, how handsome the male lead was.
ording to Lillian’s descriptions, the male lead was practically the perfect embodiment of male
beauty! She expressed her desire to step into the TV series andfort the male lead personally,
which left Callum both exasperated and bemused.
