The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 480

Zachary found himself in a sudden state of panic. Hastily, he said to Jonathan, “Mr. Youngblood, there’s been a misunderstanding. Zendaya is still quite young and immature. Please forgive her.” As he spoke, he turned to Zendaya, who remained confused on the ground, and scolded her, “Quickly, apologize!”

Zendaya was overwhelmed with a profound sense of injustice. “I’m the one who got slapped, and now I’m expected to apologize?”

However, the person she was facing was none other than Jonathan, leaving her with little choice but to yield. Indeed, in Jonathan’s presence, the importance of the Xanthos family seemed to diminish significantly.

Additionally, the information she had received indicated that Rosalie had moved out of the Youngblood Residence and was now living in a small rental house, possibly indicating that she had been dumped by Jonathan. “So why was Jonathan still protecting Rosalie? Could it be that he brought her to this banquet today?” she wondered.

Zendaya’s heart was filled with questions, but no one was providing her with answers.

With embarrassment, she got up from the ground, reluctantly preparing to apologize and put an end to the matter. However, Rosalie intervened, saying, “No need, I don’t need this apology.”

Zendaya was stunned. She muttered inwardly, “What does Rosalie mean? I was about to apologize, but she…”

“Indeed, Rosie doesn’t need this apology,” Jonathan added.

“Rosie?” Zachary was taken aback. “I had heard Jonathan used to call Rosalie that a long time ago. Later, it seemed that Jonathan started dating her, and I hadn’t heard him address her like that again. So now… What does it mean for him to call her that again?” Zachary had many questions swirling in his mind.

Zendaya’s embarrassment deepened. Initially, she had planned to apologize and leave immediately, but with the apology option off the table, she couldn’t just exit the scene. Consequently, she found herself compelled to remain there, her face swollen on one side, enduring the curious stares from bystanders, which was causing her considerable discomfort.

Yvette stepped forward and suggested, “Although Ms. Leighton has declined the need for an apology, it’s clear that Zendaya was in the wrong. How about this? On behalf of the Xanthos family, we’ll make a charitable donation in Ms. Leighton’s name to aid disaster-stricken children. What do you think, Ms. Leighton?”

Yvette’s proposal not only resolved Zendaya’s awkward apology predicament but also earned the Xanthos family a good reputation. It was a win-win situation for both.

Zendaya immediately agreed without hesitation. It was just a matter of spending some money, a small price to pay to escape the awkwardness.

However, Rosalie’s gaze shifted to the plate in Jonathan’s hand. “This is for me.”

“Yes,” Jonathan replied.
