    As long as she agreed, he would do his best to give her the ending she wanted.


    However, what disappointed him was her response. “Calvin, you saved my life. As long as what you


    ask of me doesn’t conflict with my principles, I willply willingly. But I can’t agree to your request


    regarding this matter.”


    He suddenly scoffed. “So are you saying that this goes against your principles? Rosalie, is this man so


    important to you?”


    Rosalie remained silent. Instead of asserting that Lucas was important to her, it would be more


    urate to say that Lucas found himself in his current predicament because of her. Moreover, Lucas


    reminded her of her past self, who had also been unjustly used of a crime despite her innocence. In


    Rosalie’s eyes, saving him was akin to saving herself.


    But her silence made Calvin’s face turn darker.


    Fiona hurriedly walked to Calvin’s side and gently grasped his arm. She said, “Calvin, don’t be upset.


    Rosalie must have cared deeply about Lucas, and it has clouded her judgment regarding his


    innocence. In reality, Lucas is a man full of deceit. If I hadn’t been fortunate enough for someone to


    pass by and startle him so that I could escape from the car, he would have carried out his sinister act,


    and I would have…”


    As Fiona said that, she burst into tears again.


    Seeing Fiona putting on an act at this moment, Rosalie felt a lump in her throat. “Do you believe her?”


    She looked at Calvin and said.


    “Why shouldn’t I believe her? If you have faith in Lucas because he was your former colleague, I have


    faith in Fiona because she saved my life when I was a child. Don’t you think my reason is more valid


    than yours?” Calvin cast a brief nce at Fiona before assuring her, “Fiona, please don’t cry. I will


    assist you in seeking justice in this case.”


    “Thank you, Calvin. Thank you for trusting me!” Fiona choked.


    Observing the unfolding scene, Rosalie suddenly felt a sense of humiliation. In the past, Fiona had


    taken her ce and identity using the secret she had been hiding. And now, it had be the


    sharpest weapon wielded against her.


    She lifted her gaze to meet Calvin’s. Then, she took a deep breath and spoke with a resolve in her


    voice. “If I were to tell you that the person who saved you when you were a child was me, would you


    believe it?”


    Calvin’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Rosalie in shock. “What did you say?”


    “I said… It was me who saved you when you were a child!” Rosalie repeated. “The person you met in


    the forest was me, not Fiona. In that case, do you still believe what she said?”


    Fiona’s expression shifted noticeably. Clearly, Rosalie’s sudden revtion had caught her off guard.


    But then, she didn’t believe Rosalie could change anything. She hoped Rosalie wasn’t holding the


    belief that Calvin would believe her im after she said those words.


    Fiona quickly showed a look of disbelief. “Rosalie, how can you say that? Even if you are eager to save


    Lucas, you can’t nder me like this! I’m your cousin. Even though we have had our disagreements all


    this while, we’re families. I can’t believe you made up such lies for the sake of a so-called colleague!”


    “You know deep down whether I’m lying or not.” Rosalie brushed off Fiona’s theatrics and focused her


    gaze on Calvin. “Do you believe me?”


    The initial shock in Calvin’s eyes gradually subsided. His long eyshes quivered slightly before


    lowering slowly. “Are you asking me to believe that you were the little girl who saved me when I was a


    child?”


    “Yes,” Rosalie replied. Even though she understood that her revtion was quite abrupt, she was


    willing to take a chance, betting on his trust in her.


    “Do you recall the day we met at the top of the cliff on the final day of mourning for your granny? I


    asked you if you were the girl who rescued me, but what was your response?” Calvin’s voice held a


    grim tone,


    Rosalie felt bitter. Back then, she had wanted to provide Jonathan with a sense of security, so even


    after her memory had been restored, she had continued to deny the fact that she had saved him as a


    child.


    “Iremember,” she said. “At that time, I denied it, but…”


    “After that, I asked you multiple times if you were the girl!” Calvin’s voice carried a hint of a sarcastic


    smile. His eyes slowly Hifted, filled with mockery. “But every time, you firmly denied it. Rosalie, and now


    you want me to believe that you were, in


    fact, that girl. Don’t you find that absurd?”


    Rosalie’s body trembled suddenly. His words and the look in his eyes felt like a harsh p, leaving a


    stinging sensation on her face.

    She was consumed by bitterness. She believed she deserved it. She had persistently denied her


    identity back then, but now she was asking him to believe her words.


    “I understand that what I’m saying now might sound ridiculous, but Cal…” She used the nickname he


    had told her back then. “I truly was the little girl you met when you were a child. I can exin why I kept


    denying it…”


    “Exin?” Calvin responded with a self-deprecating tone. “Rosalie, I love you, but I don’t want to hear


    such a lie from you for the sake of another man. If you are truly the little girl I’ve been searching for,


    why did you keep denying it every time I asked you? Did you feel ashamed of having this connection


    with me?”


    “A lie?” Rosalie looked at the man in front of her nkly. He had once risked his life to save her, walked


    to her covered in blood, and asked if she was hurt. But now, he didn’t want to believe her at all. “Do you


    really think I lied?”


    The look in her eyes made Calvin’s heart ache in a way that was indescribable. She was the one he


    wanted to take good care of, but the thought of her defending Lucas and trusting him brought up that


    surge of jealousy again.


    He tried his best to ignore the pain in his heart. “So, what’s the exnation? If it’s true, you had plenty


    of chances to tell me this before. But why now, when Lucas is involved in this case? Is this how you


    want to help him? Creating such a lie for his sake!”


    “Rosalie, this is too much!” Fiona added, her voice filled with grievance. “Even if you want to help Lucas


    win the case, you can’t say such things. Did you ever consider how this would make Calvin see me if


    you took my ce and pretended to be his childhood savior? He’ll only think I’m a liar! What will


    happen to me? Did you ever think about that?”
