The Ceo's Convict Wife

Chapter 20

Chapter 20 At that moment, Jennie absolutely hated Mandy. One of Jennie’s close colleagues in the HRDepartment secretly informed her that it was related to her abuse of power and exploitation ofpersonnel of the Environment and Sanitation Administration. Jennie thought about it, and the only incident that fit in the accusation was getting Rosalie to senddocuments. However, Mandy was the mastermind of that scheme. “I never forced you. You were willing to do it because you also wanted Rosalie to make a fool ofherself. I only offered an idea, while you were the one who executed it. It has nothing to do with me,”Mandy said, immediately severing ties with Jennie. The two of them began to get into a dispute. After Jennie fell out with Mandy, her family scolded her fiercely. Still, they tried to look for someone tohelp her by spending money and using their connections, but they couldn’t even find anyone to sendtheir money and gifts to. Even when it was eventually sent out, the other party would return the money and gifts to them withintwo days. Finally, an old acquaintance of their family for many years secretly said to them, “Who exactly did yourdaughter offend? That person seems to be a big shot. I heard from the director of the MunicipalManagement Bureau that it will be difficult for your daughter to get any job in the future, let alone astable job.” Upon hearing that, Jennie’s parents were dumbstruck on the spot. Once they returned home, theyimmediately questioned Jennie about who she had offended. Jennie was dazed. “What big shot could I possibly offend? I don’t even get to meet any big shots in mywork or life!” she pondered. Suddenly, things that happened at the class reunion flashed across her mind. On that day, Jonathan was the last one who helped Rosalie out. “Could it be that… Jonathan is the bigshot behind Rosalie?” Jennie wondered. novelbin

However, Jennie dismissed the idea as soon as it arose. Rosalie had killed Jonathan’s fiancée,Melanie, back then. Regardless of what happened, it 11:29 The Ceo’s Convict Wife was not possible for Jonathan to be Rosalie’s backer. “Then, it could only be that… Rosalie had a stroke of luck on that day and was saved by Jonathanaccidentally,” Jennie thought. “Perhaps… the big shot behind Rosalie is someone else? But Rosalie is just a sanitary worker. Howcould it be?” Jennie went on pondering. After thinking for a while, she reckoned the only one she had offended seemed to be Rosalie. The next day, Jennie hurriedly went to see Rosalie. As soon as Jennie saw Rosalie, her eyes welled up with tears as she said, “Rosalie, I’m sorry for thatday. It was all Mandy’s idea to ask you to attend the class reunion, and then I took the opportunity toask you to send documents there. I’ve been regretting it these days. It was all my fault that you sufferedsuch humiliation at the class reunion. I apologize to you.” Rosalie coldly watched Jennie putting on her act, not believing a word of what she said. “Rosalie, can you please forgive me?” Jennie asked. Rosalie said indifferently, “Why should I forgive you?” Jennie was taken aback. “I… I’ve already apologized. Won’t you forgive me?” she asked again. Rosalie only found it ridiculous. “You were doing your job by asking me to send documents, and therewas nothing wrong with it. Naturally, I am not in a position to forgive or not forgive you.” Jennie was dumbfounded. “How… how shall I put it? I can’t say that I set her up, can I?” she thought. Jennie continued, “But I… I caused you to be embarrassed in front of everyone, and you weremistreated by William.” “That was what they did. It has nothing to do with you, has it?” Rosalie said. “It has something to do with me!” Jennie shouted in her mind. For the first time in her life, shedesperately wanted to take the blame herself.

“Okay. If there’s nothing else, I have to work,” Rosalie said. She walked past Jennie without regard forthe miserable look of the latter. Then, she walked straight to the opposite side of the road and began tosweep the ground. 11:29 Although Rosalie didn’t know why Jennie came to see her today, she was not going to forgive whathappened that day, While Rosalie was sweeping the ground, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up andsaw Lucas from the transport crew. Lucas’ face thushed slightly. As if he had plucked up great courage,he said, “Rosalie, I heard from Yulissa that you don’t want to start a relationship now, but… but I’msincere and willing to wait for you. You… Whenever you are ready for a relationship, you can come tome.”After saying that, Lucas seemed to find what he said a little inappropriate and thus changed his wordshurriedly. “It’s not that you come to me. I mean, I can queue up to wait for you.” Rosalie looked at Lucas blankly. That was somewhat surprising for her. “You should go find someonemore suitable for you. I’m just a street sweeper who earns little with no career prospects, not a goodoption for a “But I like you.” After Lucas said that, his face seemed to be redder than before. “I heard from Yulissathat you don’t have a boyfriend now. I will ” “But I…” Just as Rosalie was about to reject Lucas again, she somehow hesitated, looking at hisblushed face and nervous expression. At least for now, Lucas seemed sincere to her, and he wasindeed an honest man, as Yulissa said. Aman like this would usually be a good husband and father, but he would probably stay away from herif he found out that she had been in prison.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Rosalie. “Rosie, who is this gentleman?” Rosalie turned around and saw a familiar figure walking toward her. The black down jacket, black

trousers, and sneakers were all cheap goods, but they looked splendid on Jonathan. At this moment,Jonathan’s stunning almond eyes, just below his bangs, stared straight at Lucas with a trace ofunfriendliness. “This is my colleague. Jon, why are you here?” Rosalie asked. “I finished work earlier today, so I just came to check on you.” As Jonathan was speaking, he graspedRosalie’s left hand. “Your hand is a little cold,” It’s all right.” It was natural for her hands to turn cold when she worked 11:29 The Ceo’s Convict Wife outdoors in the winter as the wind was strong. Rosalie was used to it. Jonathan held Rosalie’s handwith both hands and gently rubbed it to warm it up. After that, he grasped her other hand and startedrubbing it until it was warmed up again. Lucas watched the intimate interaction between Jonathan and Rosalie in a daze and couldn’t helpasking, “Rosalie, is this… your brother?” “Yes.” Rosalie nodded. Jonathan glanced at Lucas nonchalantly, then wrapped his arm around Rosalie’s waist and leanedcloser to her in a domineering manner. He asked, “What time are you getting off work? I’ll go hometogether with you today.” “In half an hour. I just need to finish sweeping this road,” Rosalie answered. “Okay.” Jonathan smiled. Somehow, Lucas felt strange watching the interaction between the two. He doubted if they really werebrothers and sisters. The way Jonathan looked at Rosalie, as well as his manner and attitude, seemedlike a man claiming possession of a woman.Chapter 20 At that moment, Jennie absolutely hated Mandy.
