    At that moment, Callum suddenly shed past Lillian’s mind.


    Following that, she shook her head vigorously. She admonished herself in her mind, “What’s wrong


    with me? Why did I think of Callum again? What I need to do is try to let go of him!”


    Once they were done selecting their cakes, they returned to the table where Rosalie and Jonathan


    were sitting. Lillian saw that the sight that greeted them was a blushing Rosalie being fed cake by


    Jonathan.


    The public disy of affection exasperated Lillian. At the same time, she was delighted to see her


    friend so happy now. Even if she herself did not get a happy ending, it was enough that Rosalie had a


    fulfilling rtionship.


    While the four of them were chatting, Lillian learned that Rosalie was going to open aw firm in Strico


    and immediately expressed her support. “I’ll definitely be there for your opening ceremony!”.


    “Okay,” Rosalie replied with a smile. “Mr. Backman, if you’re free then, you shoulde too.”


    “Sure,” Jerick answered.

    During the following conversation, Rosalie learned that Jerick was a mid-level manager of arge


    company. Being able to be a mid-level manager of argepany at his age was proof of his


    capability, However, Jonathan didn’t chat much. Instead, he focused almost exclusively on feeding


    Rosalie cake, which made her feel embarrassed!


    When they were finished, Rosalie bought two more slices, preparing to let the children try them after


    she picked them upter.


    The four of them walked out of the cake shop. Just then, a voice suddenly shouted, “Here she is! That


    damnwyer is here!”


    Then, many people rushed toward Rosalie and the others. Before Rosalie could react, the crowd had


    already thrown something at her.


    The next moment, Rosalie felt herself being tightly held in a warm embrace. Then she heard a familiar


    voice saying, “Rosalie, don’t be afraid!”


    Lillian and Jerick were also dumbfounded at the sudden turn of events. They watched as those people


    threw all kinds of rotten vegetables and eggs in the quartet’s direction.

    Jerick came to his senses a few seconds faster than Lillian. He was about to pull her away, but another


    figure was faster than him and swiftly pulled Lillian behind his back, allowing himself to be hit by the


    filth. It was none other than Callum!


    Jerick looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in surprise. How could it be such a coincidence


    that Callum happened to appear then? Or maybe…


    Meanwhile, the attackers had been subdued by several other people. One of them came to Jonathan


    and said, “Mr. Youngblood, are you all right? The people who made trouble just now have all been


    subdued.”


    Jonathan slowly loosened his arms around Rosalie.


    It was only then Rosalie caught sight of how disheveled the man in front of her was.


    His body and hair had bits of rotten vegetables stuck on them, and his face was dripping foul-smelling


    eggs.


    Compared to him, she was significantly cleaner.


    “Jon, how are you? Are you hurt? Is it serious?” Rosalie’s voice trembled as she asked him anxiously.


    Just now, she had been epassed in his arms tightly. No matter how she shouted at him to let her


    go and not to use himself as a shield to protect her, he refused to let go of her.


    “I’m fine. They didn’t throw anything big or heavy,” Jonathan said calmly. Rosalie only breathed a sigh


    of relief after she checked to ensure Jonathan was fine. Even so, her heart still trembled from lingering


    fear. Jonathan turned around and said to his subordinate, “You’ll be punished for your dereliction of


    duty today after I go back. In addition, find out what exactly is going on with these people.”


    “Understood,” the subordinate answered.


    At that moment, one of the people who had been restrained by Jonathan’s men struggled to raise his


    head and shout, “Rosalie, you piece of shitwyer! Don’t think this matter is over just because you ran


    away to hide in Strico. You colluded with your mentor Connor and caused me to be imprisoned for two


    and a half years, leading to my wife and children leaving me. I’m definitely getting payback for what


    you’ve done!” Rosalie didn’t recognize the middle-aged man before her until she heard those words.


    He was the defendant in one case she dealt with years ago,

    and she was thewyer for the intiff.


    In the end, the intiff won, and the defendant was sentenced to two and a half years in prison.


    “I have a clear conscience. You deserved it in this case.”


    “You! You and your mentor used me as a stepping stone so that you could gain a reputation in the legal


    field! You are a shameless…”


    Before he could finish his words, someone covered his mouth. At that moment, a car came over and


    stopped. Jonathan tugged Rosalie toward it while saying, “Get in the car first.”


    “But what about Lillian and the others…”


    “My men will get them out of here. They’ll be fine,” Jonathan said. Rosalie looked at the scene in front


    of her. A crowd had formed, and she couldn’t even see where Lillian and Jerick were.


    It was indeed better to leave as soon as possible.


    She bit her lip, got in the car, and took out her to call Lillian.


    However, no one answered even after the phone rang for a while.


    Rosalie instantly grew anxious. “Lillian must be in trouble. Jon, I have to get out of the car and look for


    her!”


    Jonathan said, “Don’t worry. My men will update me regarding Lillian’s situation soon.”


    Sure enough, after a while, Jonathan’s phone rang. His subordinate had called to report that they had


    only found Jerick and were arranging for him to go back to his residence first. As for Lillian, she had


    been taken away by Callum.


    “Callum?” Rosalie was stunned. She thought, ‘When did Callum appear?


    And now he’s taken Lillian away. What is going on?’


    “Since Callum took Lillian away, you don’t have to worry,” Jonathan said.


    “But…”


    “Trust me, Callum won’t hurt Lillian no matter what.” Jonathan was certain of that fact.


    At the banquet the other day, when he saw the pain and despair in Callum’s eyes, he understood that


    the man had always been in love with Lillian. Even after five years, this remained unchanged.


    Nheless, Rosalie disagreed with Jonathan’s words. “If that were true,


    then he wouldn’t have broken up with her all those years ago. He chose to hurt Lillian in order to get


    the ultimate right to the White family back then. Who knows if he will hurt Lillian again because of


    something else this time?”


    “You’re always so anxious when ites to Lillian,” Jonathan uttered lowly. It was like that back then


    and even now.
