“He asked me where you were. I told him that you were busy in the kitchen, so he took a glance at it.” Matilda was puzzled as she asked, “Who is that man? Do you know him?”
After all, her daughter avoided him as soon as she saw the man.
Amelia showed a complicated look on her face. “That man is Calvin, the scion of the entertainment industry! When I was… I’ve seen Calvin several times when I was with that person.”
“Then will Calvin recognize you?” Matilda asked nervously.
Amelia sighed. “I’m afraid… he already did.” Although Amelia’s appearance was different from before, if Calvin didn’t recognize her, he wouldn’t ask such a superfluous question when he was about to leave.
Matilda’s face immediately turned grim. “T-Then what should I do? Will he tell that person about you? That man seems to know Rosalie. Why don’t… we ask for Rosalie’s help to talk to him?”
Amelia bit her lips slightly. She was still confused up until that moment. Originally, she thought Calvin had accidentally entered this shop, but now it seemed that Calvin was obviously waiting for Rosalie.
However, there was such a big difference between Calvin and a takeaway worker who worked in her small diner.
When Rosalie came back, Amelia asked, “Rosalie, do you know Calvin?”
“Ms. Haab, you know Calvin?” Rosalie was stunned.
Amelia smiled reluctantly. “There are always scandals about Mr. Gunner. He had several girlfriends who were actresses in the entertainment industry. There are also photos of him on the internet.”
“We are sort of acquainted with each other. I’ve seen him several times,” Rosalie said.
“Then he and you…” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“There’s nothing going on between us,” Rosalie replied. Rosalie then looked at Amelia, who was still a little dumbfounded, and said, “Ms. Haab, if there is nothing else, I’ll go and deliver the takeout.”
“All right.” Amelia pursed her lips. “It seems that I still need to find Calvin myself.”
Carlos was surprised to see Jonathan drinking herbal medicine. In the past, Jonathan didn’t even bother to take the usual medicine. And yet, he was drinking herbal medicine now.
Carlos thought Jonathan’s sudden change was probably related to Rosalie.
After all, Jonathan would always set a precedent for Rosalie.
After finishing the herbal medicine, Jonathan frowned slightly. He then drank a sip of water to clear the aftertaste of herbal medicine in his mouth.
Although he never liked taking medicine, if Rosalie wanted him to take care of himself, then he would be willing to listen to
her.
“Do you know how to make a woman like you?” Jonathan asked unexpectedly.
Carlos was dumbfounded. “That is… Mr. Youngblood’s question? How to make a woman like him? But… if it’s Mr. Youngblood, he probably won’t have to do anything at all. He would already have a
bunch of women swarming at him.” Carlos pondered for a while and then asked cautiously, “Mr. Youngblood, do you mean… Ms. Leighton?”
Jonathan cast Carlos a faint glance, but he didn’t deny it.
“Does that mean… Mr. Youngblood wants Ms. Leighton to like him?” Carlos had it figured out, but he still couldn’t help but feel surprised. “Since when did Mr. Youngblood care about whether a woman liked him or
not?”
“Ms. Leighton used to… endure a lot of hardships. I’m afraid that she sees many things more clearly than ordinary people. Furthermore, for people like her, if someone tries to force her to build a relationship with them, she will probably act obedient on the surface, but purposely distance herself from that person in her heart.” Carlos continued his analysis, saying, “In my opinion, Ms. Leighton is someone who is weak to kindness but hardheaded in the face of harshness. It is better to humble oneself in front of her so that it’s easier to let her put down her guard.”
“Then, I should be pleasing her so that she will like me?” Jonathan murmured.
Carlos blinked his eyes as a sense of fright washed over him. He thought, ‘I-I was just suggesting Mr. Youngblood put on a humble stance. I did not say anything about asking him to please her.
Well… If Mr. Youngblood wants to please a woman, then what kind of woman is she…
“But what should I do that will considered an action to please her?” Jonathan asked.
Carlos choked. “Based on Mr. Youngblood’s tone, i-is he really going to please Rosalie?”
At that moment, Carlos’ phone suddenly rang. After seeing the caller ID, Carlos immediately answered the phone/A moment later, after ending the call, Carlos said to Jonathan, “Mr. Youngblood, someone is investigating Ms. Melanie Hamilton’s old case.”
Jonathan’s eyes suddenly darkened. “Who is investigating the case?”
“We haven’t found out yet. We only know that there are different groups of people who are collecting that year’s information or are searching for the whereabouts of those witnesses. And now, one of the witnesses in Sloummont is being closely followed,” Carlos replied.
“Is that the witness with the surname Concord?” Jonathan asked as he frowned slightly.
“Yes, but now the person investigating him is no longer the private detective Lillian initially hired,” Carlos answered.
When Lillian first approached the private detective to look into that witness, Carlos had already known about it.
Everything was fine initially. The evidence Lillian had found was given to her by him, but now there were other forces suddenly investigating the case. That came as a surprise for Carlos, especially since they hadn’t found out who was behind the scenes investigating the old case.
Jonathan gently lowered his eyes. Bending his fingers, he knocked on the table with his index finger as if he were thinking about something. A moment later, Jonathan said coldly, “Callum White.”
“What?” Carlos was stunned.
“Go and investigate Callum. The person who is investigating this case might be Callum.”
“Callum? Callum White from the White Maple Group?” Carlos didn’t know how Jonathan associated Callum with the matter.
“Yes, that’s him,” Jonathan replied. He thought, ‘If there’s anyone who has the ability to escape Carlos’ investigation, Callum would be one of them.
If Callum is truly investigating the case, it might be because of Lillian.’
Jonathan rubbed his forehead. “Lillian… I had underestimated her. If Callum really finds out something one day, it might be inevitable for me to go against Callum.”
Lillian looked at Callum, who was sitting next to her, helplessly. “You… Are you really going to meet my parents?”
“Didn’t you say your parents wanted to see me?” Callum asked lazily.
