The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 17

Rosalie felt her fingertips were hot as if they were burning, and her heart was beating rapidly.

She mused, “Oh, my gosh. What’s wrong with me?” Then, she immediately withdrew her hand and blushed. “O-Okay, let’s have the meal. It’ll be cold if we leave it.” After saying that, Rosalie lowered her head and hurriedly had the food.

Jonathan smiled and looked at her face, which was almost inside the bowl. The smile in his eyes seemed to be more intense.

“Do you like me?”

“I like you,” replied Rosalie with almost no hesitation.

“I like

you too,” said Jonathan as he curled his lips. It seemed like it had been a long time since he was interested in someone.

After the inspection of the Municipal Management Bureau ended, Jennie said, “Rosalie, our classmates from high school are going to have a class reunion this weekend. Come and join us.”

Rosalie chuckled. In her current situation, she would only be sneered at if she attended the class reunion. “No, I have something to do, so I won’t go

“Hey, it’s been a long time since our friends from high school got together. What are you busy with? Let’s go,” urged Jennie. It was evident that she wanted Rosalie to attend the class reunion.

Back then, Rosalie was the top student and class belle. If Rosalie participated in the class reunion in that state, it would shock everyone. Jennie could not wait to let all her classmates from high school see Rosalie like that.

Rosalie responded. “I have to work on weekends. Do you think I can rest on weekends like normal people with the job I have

now?”

Jennie was speechless for a moment because she really forgot.

“But-

Tm going to clean up the garbage. We can talk about it next time” Before Jennie could finish her words, Rosalie turned around and left.

She was not an idiot and could naturally notice Jennie’s intention.

However, Rosalie did not expect that even if she deliberately wanted to avoid it, the deputy officer appointed her to deliver a document to someone from the Municipal Management Bureau at ixurious club in Strico on Sunday.

An ordinary sanitary worker could not enter a club like that at all. When Rosalie arrived at the club’s entrance, a special staff was waiting for her as if they had already known about Rosalie’s arrival. Then, the staff led Rosalie into the club through the side door.

The staff pushed open the door of one of the private rooms. There were many people in the huge private room.

As soon as Rosalie entered, she heard a familiar voice saying. “Look who’s here!”

Rosalie saw Jennie. Mandy, and a group of her high school classmates. It was Jennie who spoke earlier.

Suddenly, Rosalie understood it was planned by Jennie. Jennie worked at the Municipal Management Bureau, and the leader of the Environment and Sanitation Administration wanted to get along with her. When Jennie wanted to read an insignificant document and appointed someone to deliver it, the deputy officer would surely agree.

“Look, I’m not wrong by saying that. The class belle is now a sanitary worker!” Mandy grinned as she spoke, looking smug

At that moment, the uniform of a sanitary worker on Rosalie was particularly obvious in the private room.

Someone asked, “Isn’t this the top student in our class? You’ve been in jail for three years, and I almost couldn’t recognize you Didn’t Zachary used to care about you very much? Why did he let you be a sanitary worker and abandon you?”

Rosalie’s body stiffened slightly. Every time she heard Zachary’s name, it was a painful experience for her.

The person who asked that walked to Rosalie. She recognized it was William Straus. His family was also famous in Strico. William had pursued her before.

Later, when she was dating Zachary, William wanted to harass her sexually. After being taught a lesson by Zachary, William restrained himself and dared not provoke Rosalie again.

Rosalie ignored William, walked to Jennie, and handed the document to her. “This should be the document you wanted.”

Jennie smiled hypocritically and took the document. “Rosalie, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

Just as Rosalie turned around and was about to leave the private room. William suddenly grabbed her arm from behind. “Why are you in a hurry to leave? It’s a class reunion after all. Let’s catch up.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, he took a glass of wine and placed it near Rosalie’s lips. “Come on, finish this glass of wine. You were in jail because of drunk driving. Don’t tell me you don’t know how to drink!”

Pursing her lips, Rosalie turned away and firmly pushed William away with both hands.

William lost his balance, and the wine splashed on him. Instantly, he was infuriated and slapped Rosalie in the face. “Fuck! Do you think you are still Zachary’s girlfriend? You’re just a cleaner. Are you refusing me now?”

While scolding. William picked up a bottle of wine beside him and poured it on Rosalie’s head.

The cold liquor drenched her, making her disheveled.

Jennie even deepened her smile. “Rosalie, apologize to William now. Maybe he will forgive you.”

When Rosalie heard that, she thought it was ridiculous. She was insulted, but Jennie wanted her to apologize.

Rosalie pursed her lips tightly. Her iridescent eyes were clear. It appeared that she could not be defeated, no matter how disheveled she was at that moment.

However, her look made William even more annoyed. “Fuck’ Rosalie, do you think you are still Zachary’s girlfriend? I am giving you a chance to apologize Even if I assaulted you right now, no one would dare to stand up for you!”

William directly pushed Rosalie to the ground. With a ripping sound, the clothes on Rosalie had been torn apart.

“No!” yelled Rosalie.

However, none of her so-called classmates around would say something for Rosalie, let alone stand up for her.

Rosalie hardly had any sunshine when she was in prison for three years, which made her skin fairer than ordinary people’s. Despite that, she was covered with many scars.

Some scars had not faded away, which looked ferocious and terrifying.

Those were left behind when Rosalie was in prison.

She struggled to cover her body and wanted to get up. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from one of her hands. Stunned, Rosalie turned to see Mandy stepping on the back of her right hand with high heels.

“Hey, Rosalie. Why are you in such a hurry? You haven’t even apologized to Mr. Straus yet,” said Mandy viciously. She wanted Rosalie to be more miserable as she increased the strength of her foot.

The intense pain on the back of Rosalie’s hand seemed to bring her back to her time in jail when the bones on her hand were gradually fractured by others.

At that time, Rosalie could not even resist and could only accept it.

However, Rosalie almost used all her strength to withdraw her left hand from William’s control. Then, she pushed Mandy away vigorously and rushed out of the private room.

Rosalie kept reminding herself to run away from that place.

Covering her torn clothes, Rosalie ran desperately. Suddenly, a huge force behind her made her fall to the ground. Then, someone heavily stepped on her foot.

It really hurt.

Her back was painful as if burning.

William’s voice came. “What? Do you want to escape from here? Don’t you know I’m also one of the shareholders of this club? Huh?”

William suddenly paused as he spoke.

Then, Rosalie heard a familiar voice. William, what are you doing?”

Rosalie’s body immediately stiffened. It was Zachary’s voice.

In the past, she thought that he would protect her from everything. In the end. Zachary was simply someone who casually. abandoned her.

Rosalie could not help trembling. She never thought she would be in a messy situation when she met Zachary again after being released from prison.

“What’s wrong? Did you bring your fiancée here for dinner today? What a coincidence. Your ex- girlfriend is also having dinner with me today, but she refuses me and makes me unhappy. Do you want to stand up for her?”

As William spoke, he grabbed Rosalie’s hair and forced her to raise her head, facing Zachary.

With that, Rosalie saw Zachary’s familiar face.

The man who used to feel heartbroken at the sight of her getting slightly hurt was merely frowning in surprise, and his gaze was full of indifference.

Just like back then, Zachary indifferently agreed that others could break Rosalie’s hands.

Yvette was standing next to Zachary. Looking at her delicate and beautiful face, Rosalie narrowed her pupils. She seemed to see Yvette smiling again, watching others remove her nails one after another and fracture her fingers.

It hurt so much.

Rosalie trembled even more.

Zachary and Yvette were like the nightmares that would awaken Rosalie countless times. At that moment, they were right in front of her.

“William, what you want to do is your business. I have nothing to do with her.” Zachary frowned in disgust.

Rosalie only felt a sharp pain in her heart. Although she had already given up on Zachary, it turned out that she was still hurt when she heard that. Rosalie regretted loving the wrong person.

She mocked inwardly, “Rosalie, what are you looking forward to? Do you really expect someone to save you?”

She could only rely on herself at that moment.

“Really? So it doesn’t matter if I treat her like this?” William suddenly dragged Rosalie to the pool in an artificial landscape beside him and pressed Rosalie’s head into the water.

Instantly, the cold water rushed into Rosalie’s mouth and nose. It almost choked her.

William seemed to be trying to vent his aggrievedness when he was beaten by Zachary because of Rosalie. Right then, he pressed Rosalie’s head into the water again and shouted proudly. “Rosalie, I want to know who can save you now.”

“Zachary, Jonathan is still waiting for us. It’s bad to make him wait for a long time.” Yvette’s voice came to Rosalie when she

was in a trance.

“Okay” replied Zachary indifferently.

His tone reminded Rosalie of the time he had agreed when Yvette said she wanted to break Rosalie’s hand.

His word sounded gentle but could make Rosalie suffer

The feeling of suffocation was getting stronger Rosalie did not even have the strength to struggle.

She mused. “Will I die? I didn’t die when I was in prison, yet I might die in this place! And who would come to save me? There’ll be no one

Her head was submerged in the cold water again and again. She was pressed into the water with a splashing sound that kept ̧ echoing, but no one came forward to stop William

Yvette strolled toward the stairs while holding Zachary’s arm. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Rosalie being ravaged like a dead body and curled her red lips unknowingly

No one would come to save Rosalie Even if Rosalie did not die by then, she would have been seriously injured.

Suddenly, a reproach sounded on the second floor ‘Enough Bring the woman upstairs

Yvette looked in disbelief at the second floor A tall figure was standing beside a column on the second floor. On his delicate facial features, there was a hint of anger

It was Jonathan. His gaze was directed at Rosalie
