Chapter 662
“What was wrong with me just now? How could I have plunged into a trance at the sight of Rosalie?” Zachary griped inwardly.
At that precise moment, Rosalie said, “Sorry, I got the private room.” While saying that, she was about to close the door and leave when someone stood up.
The person looked at her mockingly and drawled, “Oh, did you really get the wrong private room? Or did you know that Zachary is here and deliberately came over to show your face? I heard that you were in prison, Rosalie. I didn’t expect you to pursue Mr. Xanthos so ardently!”
Hearing that, the others burst into laughter.
“She doesn’t know her place at all, having the nerve to show up in front of Zachary when she was once in prison.”
“Exactly. Zachary is engaged to Yvette, and they will get married soon. Why is she so shameless?”
“Say, Rosalie, you killed Yvette’s sister back then. Do you still want to destroy Yvette’s marriage and be a mistress now? But I guess even if you stand in front of Zachary in your birthday suit, he won’t spare you a look!”
Rosalie looked at the people in front of her coldly.
“Evidently, they aren’t very well informed and didn’t know that my case
overturned. But logically speaking… Zachary and Yvette should know,” she thought to herself.

A flash of puzzlement flitted across Rosalie’s eyes. Unbeknownst to her, Zachary and Yyette had suffered a lot at Jonathan’s hands because of her. Hence, they would never mention Rosalie much to these people.
On top of that, the overturning of Rosalie’s case was only known to some lawyers in the legal circle. In truth, few people were aware of it.
“I can sue you for defamation and slander for such remarks,” Rosalie said icily.
“Sure! Go ahead if you dare!” The first man who spoke wanted to curry favor with Yvette and Zachary, so he marched right up to Rosalie. “How about you kneel down here and apologize to Yvette? We’ll see if she’ll forgive you.”
While saying that, he was about to press down on Rosalie’s shoulder with

a hand. But before his hand could make contact, the bodyguard beside Rosalie grabbed his hand fiercely. In a swift move, it was twisted to the back.
“Ahh!” the man immediately screeched like a lamb being slaughtered. Zachary promptly stood up. “What are you doing, Rosalie? Have your friend let go of him at once. What’s your motive in coming here on purpose?”
Zachary thought that the bodyguard beside Rosalie was her friend.
“I told you that I accidentally walked into the wrong private room. But for those libelous and slanderous comments here just now, I will make preparations to sue the related persons,” Rosalie said placidly.
“How dare you!” Zachary was visibly angry. “Are you trying to stir up trouble here, Rosalie? If you hadn’t deliberately sought me out with that lame tactic, they wouldn’t have said such things about you. Do you dare say you didn’t appear in front of me on purpose?”
Zachary thought Rosalie wanted to find an opportunity to approach him. After all, he heard that Jonathan had dumped Rosalie. That aside, Rosalie hadn’t appeared by Jonathan’s side recently.
Zachary’s delusion almost made Rosalie burst into laughter. “Indeed, I didn’t mean to appear in front of you. Yvette may fancy a man like you, but not me!” she said disdainfully.
The instant her words rang out, Zachary and Yvette’s expressions changed.
Yvette started, “Rosalie, I know you felt resentful when you broke up with Zachary. But I’m the person Zachary loves. As for you, even if you weren’t the one who killed my sister back then, and your case has already been overturned, things are no longer possible between you and Zachary!”
“Did you hear that, Rosalie? There’s someone else I love. The only person I love is Yvette. Since you don’t fancy me, you’re downright shameless to come here with such an excuse to approach me!” Zachary said unceremoniously.
“You’re the shameless one, no? I never said I came here for you! Who do you think you are, Zachary? How great are you that I’d pine over you? You know what? I think the most unlucky thing that happened in my life is meeting a jerk like you!” Rosalie retorted outright.
Belittled in front of so many people, Zachary felt humiliated. He

immediately lunged forward and raised his hand to swing it at Rosalie.
The bodyguard beside Rosalie kicked the man she was restraining away and whirled around, pinning Zachary to the ground.
“How should I deal with him, Mrs. Lewis?” the bodyguard asked.
“Let him stay on the ground first. I’ll call the police. If any of them dares to rush up, just beat them up,” Rosalie instructed.
“Understood,” she replied.
By then, everyone in the private room was shocked. For a moment, no one dared to step forward. After all, they had witnessed the capabilities of the bodyguard beside Rosalie.
Considering her swift and resolute movements, she was definitely skilled at combat.
Pinned to the ground by the bodyguard, Zachary kept shouting and struggling, but he couldn’t break free.
With a dark expression, Yvette warned, “Rosalie, I don’t care what you are up to, but you’d better let Zachary go immediately. Otherwise, you would be making an enemy of both the Hamilton family and the Xanthos family! By then, things would be difficult for you in Strico!”
Before Rosalie could respond to that, a voice rang out. “I’d like to see why things would be difficult for her!”
