Chapter 353
A lot of people had already gathered around Rosalie, and now more people were gathering towards her because someone recognized Calvin.
Calvin frowned slightly. The next moment, he directly pulled Rosalie to the car parked aside and then drove away.
The car left and the crowd could only look at each other. Then they began to discuss the relationship between Rosalie and Calvin.
After Rosalie got in the car, she said to Calvin, “Thank you. Please just find a place nearby and leave me there.”
However, Calvin didn’t stop the car and asked, “What is going on?”
“It’s just that someone recognized me. After all, the turnover of my case and the apology of Yvette have become heated topics online,” Rosalie said. “Please stop the car. My friend is still in the bookstore. I have to meet her later!”
Calvin pursed his lips and finally pulled over.
Rosalie wanted to get out of the car, but Calvin grabbed her and said, “This place is not far away from the bookstore. Maybe those people will catch up with you and surround you later. Why don’t you contact your friend here? It would be better to get out of the car when your friend gets
here.”
Hearing this, Rosalie nodded hesitantly and then looked at Calvin’s hand holding her arm.
Calvin tightened his fingers slightly and then slowly released his hand. Then Rosalie took out her phone from her pocket and called Lillian.
“Lillian, I was in trouble just now. Now I’m out of the bookstore. I’m around Edwell Mansion, about a thousand feet away from the bookstore. Come here…”
Calvin, who was sitting beside Rosalie, looked at her in a daze.
Today, as Calvin drove past the bookstore, he saw her in the crowd at once. It seemed that even if she did nothing but stand in the crowd, he could notice her at a glance.
It seemed that every time he looked at her, he would lose control of his eyes, heart, and blood flow.
Originally, Calvin thought Rosalie was the one he had been looking for. He thought that as long as he found evidence, she couldn’t deny it. But when he looked for more evidence, it showed the person he had been looking for was actually someone else.
The person Calvin should treat well was Fiona, not Rosalie!
Even if Calvin said so to himself again and again in his heart, when he saw that Rosalie was in trouble, he would still immediately get out of the car and walk to her side.
When he got closer to her, he felt emptier in his heart!
Calvin slowly clenched his hands and lowered them to the side, asking, “When will you marry Jonathan? I’ll come to your wedding and give you a nice gift. After all, you are Fiona’s cousin.”
Rosalie said, “A year later. My grandmother has just died not long ago.” After a pause, she added, “Besides, you don’t need to treat me particularly well because of Fiona. Although we are cousins, we are never close, and I have never helped her.”
Calvin pursed his lips almost into a straight line, and they suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
After a while, his gaze fell on the two law books on Rosalie’s knees. So Calvin asked, “Are you going back to lawyering?”
“I have this plan, but it also depends on whether I still have the ability,” Rosalie said, but she had a strong desire in her eyes which indicated how much she wanted to be a lawyer again.
Calvin felt confused. He thought, “She’s obviously not her, but why is she so similar to her? Even the look in her eyes is like hers at that time.”
At that time, the girl solemnly said to Calvin, “I’m the top student in my class. My grandma said that only when I have good grades can I do what I want when I grow up.”
“Then what do you want to do?” At that time, Calvin asked in confusion. Everything was too easy for him. He didn’t need to work hard at all.
Some people were born with everything..
“And Calvin had never considered working at that time.
But this girl, one or two years younger than him, was already thinking about such a thing?
“I haven’t decided yet, but I want to do a just job which can not only protect myself but also the people I like!” the girl said in
a childish voice.
Work for Justice?
Calvin was born into a rich family and had been influenced since childhood that there was no absolute justice at all. Sometimes, the so-called justice was just a lie.
But the girl’s eyes were so serious that Calvin couldn’t say his true thoughts as if the words were stuck in his throat.
As time went by, when he found the little girl, he found that Fiona didn’t do the so-called just job and there was no longer such a righteous look in her eyes.
However, in Rosalie’s eyes, he saw that look. How ridiculous it was!
“Do you still want to be a lawyer so that you can not only protect yourself but also the people you like?” Calvin asked casually.
Rosalie was stunned. Then she felt a sharp pain in her head, and then she seemed to hear a childish voice saying, “Even if you don’t work for justice, I can protect you!
