However, the most embarrassing part for her was yet toe.
“Pick it up!” Rosalie demanded. “Since you’re the one who dropped the gown on the floor, you should
be the one to pick it up!”
Fiona protested, her tone defiant. “Why should I listen to you and pick it up?” She turned to the staff
around her and said, “You all don’t intend to kick this woman out, do you? Fine, I’ll do it myself then!”
As Fiona reached out to grab Rosalie, her hand was intercepted by an unremarkable-looking woman
standing behind Rosalie.
In an instant, the woman deftly twisted Fiona’s arm, causing her to cry out in pain!

“Mrs. Youngblood, how would you like to handle this situation?” the woman asked Rosalie respectfully.
Rosalie responded with a cold tone, “Make her pick up the gown.”
The woman, one of the female bodyguards Jonathan had assigned to protect Rosalie, disyed
remarkable agility. Without her exceptional skills, Rosalie would never have risked a confrontation with
Fiona, especially given her pregnancy.
“Understood,” the female bodyguard replied, then turned to Fiona. “You heard what Mrs. Youngblood
said. Pick up the gown.”
“Why should I be the one to pick it up?” Fiona’s face flushed as she protested, but then a sharp pain
shot through her twisted arm, making her cry out in agony. She turned to the store staff and eximed,
“Are all just standing around? Isn’t anyone going to step in? If you don’t kick these two people out of
the store immediately, none of you will have a future in Strico!”

In her current state of pain and anger, Fiona didn’t pay attention to the term “Mrs. Youngblood” used by
the female bodyguard, nor did she wonder why Rosalie had such a bodyguard.
Fiona was a frequent customer at this store, and the staff knew well that she was connected to the
entertainment industry’s scion, Calvin.
“Someone, please, hurry and help Ms. Haberly!” The store manager had clearly chosen to side with
Fiona, as offending Calvin was not an option.
However, right after that, another voice rang out, carrying an overwhelming sense of authority. “Anyone
who dares to help can forget about ever setting foot in Strico again!”
The voice was clear andposed, but it radiated a potent aura.
“This voice…” Rosalie mused, briefly taken aback, as she raised her head to spot Jonathan
approaching her.
He was dressed in a gray suit paired with a navy blue shirt, exuding an elegant yet mysterious charm.
His strikingly handsome face possessed an allure that could captivate any woman.
Jonathan walked up to Rosalie and asked, “Running into some trouble?”
“It’s hardly a big trouble,” Rosalie replied. “But how did
you end
up here?”
“I knew you were here, and I have some free time, so I decided to drop by,” Jonathan replied, taking
Rosalie’s hand naturally. With a slight frown, he remarked, “Your hands are quite cold.”
As he spoke, he gently cupped her hands and began to rub them to warm them up.
This unexpected gesture momentarily left the onlookers in stunned silence.
Just moments ago, it seemed like a confrontation was about to erupt, and now, it had transformed into
a heartwarming scene.
Among the people, only Fiona stared in disbelief with widened eyes, wondering, “How could Jonathan
be with Rosalie? Aren’t theypletely over?”
Jonathan cast a cold nce at Fiona, who was being restrained by the female bodyguard, and casually
asked, “Do you want me to handle her for you?”

His words were nonchnt, but they sent a shock through Fiona. She hastily said, “Jonathan, d-don’t
let Rosalie deceive you. She’s deeply in love with that Lucas now. She’s fighting tooth and nail to
be his representativewyer. She even stood outside Calvin’s mansion all night for Lucas’s
sake…”
At this moment, Fiona was desperate to sow discord between Jonathan and Rosalie.
Rosalie’s body trembled as Fiona’s words brought back memories of that most despairing night!
The people around them were shocked when they heard Fiona mention Jonathan’s name. Meanwhile,
the two wealthy women who had previously spoken ill of Rosalie had recognized Jonathan earlier and
were now pale, exchanging fearful nces, realizing the implications of their earlier actions. Jonathan
stopped his hand-rubbing, shot Fiona a cold re, and said, “Since when did it be your concern,
a woman like you, to pass judgment on my wife? That mouth of yours really needs to be shut.”
Fiona was left dumbfounded!
“Wife? When did Rosalie be Jonathan’s wife? W-What’s going on?” she wondered.
But before she could react, one of the bodyguards who had entered the store with Jonathan was
already standing in front of Fiona. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and delivered a resounding
p across Fiona’s cheek.
Subsequently, a series of ps followed, one after another, and Fiona didn’t even have an opportunity
to plead for mercy. Her mouth and cheeks swelled up, and in the surroundings, no one dared to
intervene. After a while, the bodyguard finally ceased, and Fiona struggled to issue a threat. “Treating
me like this, I’ll make sure Calvin seeks justice for me.”
Jonathan sneered, “Impostors should possess some self-awareness, but it appears youck even
that.” Fiona’s pupils suddenly constricted, thinking, “Does Jonathan… know something too?”
Simultaneously, Jonathan’s icy and bone-chilling voice reverberated in her ears. “Pick up the gown
from the floor. If you don’t, I can assure you that you won’t have another chance to pick it up.”
Fiona’s body trembled uncontrobly, her face filled with humiliating embarrassment. Since she had
gotten closer to Calvin, everyone had pampered and ttered her. She had never been treated like this
by anyone before!
Especially in front of so many people, including those two wealthy women Fiona was acquainted with, it
was inevitable that this incident would quickly be a hot topic among the upper-ss coterie!
What made the situation even more humiliating was Jonathan openly branding her as an impostor in
front of everyone! Unfortunately, she couldn’t afford to argue back at this point. She even had to pick up
Rosalie’s gown, and it literally felt like she was enduring a series of stinging ps to her face. Under
the watchful gaze of the spectators, Fiona, her face now swollen, reluctantly crouched down, retrieved
the gown, and handed it back to Rosalie. She then hurriedly fled, not daring to stay any longer. Holding
the gown in her hand, Rosalie carefully smoothed it out before politely requesting one of the nearby
staff. “Could you please wrap up the gown?”
As they returned to the car, Jonathan suddenly remarked, “Fiona won’t be able to struggle for much.
longer. Calvin is currently investigating what transpired back then.”
