The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 513

“Should I go wait for him in his office?” Fiona suggested.

“I’m afraid that wouldn’t be appropriate, Ms. Haberly. It’s better to wait outside,” the secretary replied.

Fiona clenched her teeth and could only take a seat on the couch outside.

She felt that the secretary’s attitude toward her today was different from before. While she still appeared

respectful on the surface and even poured her a cup of coffee when she sat down, there was no longer that sense

of flattery.

“Was it because Calvin publicly stated in the interview that they weren’t in a romantic relationship?” As she thought

of this, Fiona couldn’t help but feel irritated.

Just because Calvin said so, her classmates at school started mocking her, not to mention the snobbish people on

the set.

Many people had initially praised her because of her relationship with Calvin, but now she felt like she had been

pushed back to square one.

At that moment, Fiona noticed a high-ranking executive from the company walking out of the elevator and

approaching the secretary’s desk. He asked, “Is Mr. Gunner not back yet?”

“Yes, I heard Mr. Gunner went to the Legal Department with someone,” the secretary replied.

“Yeah, he went to the Legal Department. Word is spreading in our department, and people are wondering if that

woman is the one Mr. Gunner mentioned in the interview, the one he’s in love with. I mean, when have you ever

seen Mr. Gunner accompany a woman to the Legal Department?” The executive couldn’t resist gossiping.

“What kind of person is she?” the secretary asked curiously.

“I heard she’s a legal assistant from a law firm, but I don’t know the details.”

“It must be Rosalie!” Fiona concluded inwardly as she listened. “Calvin had placed all his attention on Rosalie. No, I

can’t let this continue. If Calvin ends up with Rosalie, then in the future, I will have no place by his side!”

Rosalie was somewhat surprised when she left Gunner Group and found herself confronted by Fiona..

“Rosalie, what a coincidence, running into you here,” Fiona said with a smile.

“A coincidence?” Rosalie thought as she raised an eyebrow. She didn’t think it was much of a coincidence to see her

cousin as soon as she left the building.

“Do you need something, Fiona?” Rosalie asked directly.

“It’s not a big deal, but since we ran into each other, how about finding a place to sit and chat?” Fiona invited.

“No, thanks. It’s my working hours now, and I have to get back to the law firm,” Rosalie declined. “If you don’t have

any urgent matters, I’ll be on my way.”

“Wait!” Fiona hurriedly called out. “I-I wanted to ask you about your relationship with Calvin.”

Rosalie looked at Fiona and thought, “I’m afraid this is the real reason why Fiona blocked me here.”

“I think that’s my personal business,” Rosalie said. In other words, she had no comment.

“Rosalie, that day at the police station, Calvin said he was in love with you. So, what are your feelings for him? And I

noticed. that Mr. Jonathan Youngblood seems to care about you a lot. Have you really broken up with him?” Fiona

asked carefully.

Rosalie simply looked at Fiona and didn’t answer.

Fiona showed an awkward expression and said, “Rosalie, you know, I don’t have a high level of education, and I’ve

made mistakes in the past, but now Calvin is the only one I can rely on, and these days, I really like him.”

She continued as she blushed slightly, “You still have Jonathan, but I only have

will you?”

Rosalie stared at Fiona until the latter felt guilty.

Calvin. You won’t take Calvin away from me,

“Rosalie, why are you staring at me? I know I said something that upset you in the past, but I’m being sincere now.”

“Fiona, are you hoping I’ll answer that I don’t love Calvin, that I have no feelings for him? So that you can feel at

ease? At least you can stand on the moral high ground, and if I do develop feelings for Calvin in the future, you can

use my words against me?” Rosalie asked.

Fiona’s expression revealed that Rosalie had hit the mark. That was indeed her original intention.

“Fiona, do you not find it ridiculous? You need someone else’s commitment for your own feelings. For the sake of

Granny, I’ll remind you once more. Calvin is not so easily deceived. If you withdraw now, you might still have a

chance. But the more you gain, the worse it will be in the future…” said Rosalie.

If a man like Calvin found out he had been deceived, the consequences would undoubtedly be dire for Fiona.

“What do you mean by that?” Fiona immediately changed her expression. “Are you threatening me? As long as you

don’t say anything, everything between me and Calvin will be fine.”

As she watched her cousin’s reaction, Rosalie knew that no matter how much she said, it would be in vain. “Fine, do

as you wish. I’ve said all I wanted to. You won’t need to find me regarding anything related to Calvin in the future.”

Rosalie then turned and walked away.

Fiona stood still, but there was a smug look in her eyes. Slowly, she took out a voice recorder from her pocket. She

already had the content she wanted, and with some editing, she would get the effect she desired!

A black Bentley parked in the shadows. The car was silent, with Jonathan sitting inside, looking out the window in the

direction of the residential gate, lost in thought.

Carlos didn’t even dare to say anything.

After an unknown amount of time, a slender figure entered Carlos’ line of sight. He couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Finally, Rosalie had returned. What’s more, she had returned alone!

Carlos had been worried that some other man might accompany Rosalie back. If that were the case, it would

undoubtedly upset Jonathan.

However, to his surprise, Jonathan didn’t get out of the car, and he continued to gaze out the window even after

Rosalie’s figure disappeared into the residential area.

“Mr. Youngblood, Ms. Leighton has gone inside…” Carlos reminded, thinking that Jonathan might not have noticed

Rosalie. However, Jonathan seemed not to hear it and just looked out of the window.

“So, did Mr. Youngblood see Rosalie just now?” Carlos wondered inwardly. “But if he did see her, why didn’t he get

out of the car? He had been waiting for Rosalie for over an hour today.”

After another hour had passed, Jonathan finally gave a faint order, “Let’s head back to the Youngblood residence.”
