The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1208

Harriet’s expression changed. “Zephyr, what are you talking about? I-I don’t understand! Could it be that someone is making mischief and hurling mud at me? Riley is my sister. How could I possibly let people punch and kick her?”

Zephyr raised his gaze coldly. “How could you not understand? You know what I’m talking about for sure. You did that precisely because she’s your sister.”

“You…” Harriet’s expression changed again.

“Back then, she was always better than you in every aspect. It didn’t change even though she was incarcerated and later released. It’d be a massive joke if there was any sisterly love between you two. Over the years, you’d visit her several times a month. Every time, she’d be covered in injuries when you left. Do you still think someone’s hurling mud at you?” Zephyr said coldly.

Harriet’s eyes instantly widened. She felt like the man before her saw through her.

She thought he didn’t care about Riley, but it turned out that he had investigated everything. He actually knew what was going on.

“Yes, there’s no sisterly love between us. Don’t tell me you still have feelings for her! You know, when she disregarded her relationship with you like that, she trampled on your dignity and pride. Even after you begged her like that, she still went to Nicholas! She…”

“Shut up!” Zephyr’s cold, harsh voice interrupted Harriet. “You ha right to judge what happened between Riley and me! Besides, sh merely a madwoman now, so you don’t have to hurt her at all.”

“Don’t you want to take revenge on her? Don’t you want her to pay fo hurting you?” Harriet asked in an eerily quiet voice.

“The price… She has already paid enough. If I want to take my revenge, I’ll do it myself. I don’t need you to do it for me!” Zephyr stated in a deep voice. “Listen here, Harriet. The person whom Riley has wronged is me, and she doesn’t owe you anything. Everything you have now, you got from her!”

Harriet’s expression warped and became extremely ugly. Meanwhile, Zephyr spun around and headed to the study.

Harriet glared at Zephyr’s back. Internally, she screeched, ‘I’m his wife! Riley is no more than a woman who betrayed him, but he keeps

defending her.

That woman… How can she still hold such an influence on his emotions after all these years?

It doesn’t matter. Riley is destined to never turn the tables. In this life, Zephyr’s wife is me and only me! Riley can only stay in the hospital forever until her death!’

It was a luxurious banquet, and Rosalie was dressed to the nines. Wyatt was the one who obtained the invitation for her.

Many prominent families and entrepreneurs from Lommore, which included the Griffin family, were slated to attend this banquet.

Rosalie chose to attend the banquet because she wished to approach members of the Griffin family. She wanted to ask about what had happened between Nicholas and Riley.

The Griffin family member attending the banquet today was, surprisingly, Nicholas’ younger brother, Bruce Griffin.

“Mrs. Youngblood. Although I bring you in, I’ve to remind you Bruce is not an amiable person to deal with. He’s especially reluctant to mention the death of his older brother. I’m afraid you’ll end up disappointed if you want to ask him about Nicholas and Riley.” Wyatt, who was standing beside Rosalie, remarked.

“I have to try and see whether or not this ends up in disappointment. I’m bound to be disappointed if I don’t try, ” Rosalie replied.

“Why do you care so much about Riley? Is it just to help your frien Wyatt glared at Rosalie.

“If I didn’t, why else would I be here? Is helping a friend not a good enough reason?” Rosalie asked in response.

Her dark eyes were pure and clear, and her beautiful face was full of sincerity.

She had nothing to hide, and she was frank with him.

Wyatt smiled and remarked, “I’ve made a cynical and incorrect assumption. It is indeed a blessing to have you as a friend, Mrs. Youngblood.”

“To be friends is to be sincere and caring towards each other. I’m willing to do so many things for my friends because they’ve spared no effort to help me back then,” Rosalie replied. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Wyatt grinned. “Well then, I wish you luck!”

“Thank you,” Rosalie said. She then turned around and began to scan for her target at the location.

She had someone investigate some basic information about Bruce and obtained his photo.

Unlike his gentle and elegant brother, Nicholas, Bruce was stern. He hardly ever smiled and was ruthless. However, he was a complete softie to his wife, Peach, who was an A-list celebrity when she was younger.

When Peach married into the Griffin family some time later, she retired from the entertainment industry and became a magnate’s wife in peace.

Bruce and Peach had been an exemplary couple over the years. It was said that even if Bruce threw a terrible tantrum, he would calm down as long as Peach soothed him.

This time, Peach was Rosalie’s actual target.

“It’s always easier for a woman to start a conversation with another woman,” she thought.

When she found Peach, Rosalie smiled and walked towards her.

At this moment, Peach was chatting with the married ladies of several prominent families in Lommore. Rosalie approached and greeted Peach, “Hello. You’re Mrs. Peach Griffin, right? My name is Rosalie Leighton. I like the characters you portrayed on-screen very much. I didn’t expect to see you at such a banquet.”

Peach sized Rosalie up and found that the latter was wearing a top luxury-branded haute couture gown of the current season. This gown was usually priced at more than millions of dollars.

In addition to that, the jeweled necklace Rosalie wore around her neck was probably worth more than tens of millions of dollars.

Even if Rosalie’s attire and jewelry were lent to her, she needed to be capable enough to borrow them.

“Hello, Ms. Leighton,” Peach said with a smile. “May I know what you do

for a living?”

“I’m an attorney,” Rosalie replied.

Rosalie’s outfit didn’t seem to be something a lawyer could own, but her profession piqued the interest of several magnate’s wives standing next to Peach. After all, it was extremely rare to find an attorney among them.

Some of them even asked Rosalie several legal questions out of curiosity, and she answered them one after another.

After learning that Rosalie was married, had three children, and was running a law firm, these affluent married ladies began to see her differently.

Even Peach had a hint of approval in her eyes.

Lately, she was also preparing to make a comeback, as she wanted to restart her career. Therefore, she naturally admired women like Rosalie, who could still carry out their beloved professions after marriage.
