The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 579

Rosalie looked at Fiona with a half-smile. She didn’t think Fiona felt sad at all. Besides, she was more than 90

percent sure that Fiona must be the mastermind behind the lounge incident.

It was just that she didn’t know what the police investigation result was.

Calvin got up and walked over. He looked at Rosalie and said, “I came here after receiving a call from the police. No

matter who the real target is, once I find out who drugged that man and locked the door of the lounge, I will

definitely let that person pay the price and give you justice!”

Rosalie raised her eyes and looked at Calvin. Calvin knew that she was suspicious of Fiona. She wondered if his

gestures were telling her that if Fiona was indeed the perpetrator, he would never shield Fiona.

When Fiona at the side heard Calvin’s words, her body trembled. A trace of jealousy and hatred flashed in her eyes.

Fiona began to question whether Calvin truly cared about Rosalie to that extent, unable to bear seeing her being

mistreated in the slightest. Rosalie didn’t get hurt at all in this incident. Her arm was just scratched a little.

“Okay. Let’s go into the room. I have something to tell you,” said the police.

Joseph’s family also entered the room together. After all, Joseph was considered the victim in this case.

Joseph’s parents came today. They were also Fiona’s ex-parents-in-law.

Ever since they entered the police station, their gaze remained fixed on Fiona. Seeing their ex-daughter-in-law

adorned in gold and silver while their son lay in the hospital, they were engulfed by indescribable emotions.

Everyone in the town said that their ex-daughter-in-law had hooked up with the scion of the entertainment industry

and was going to be the young lady of the Gunner family. Yet, it now appeared that Calvin was treating/Rosalie

more favorably.

They sat down in the room. While talking about their investigation results, the police also played some surveillance

footage to them.

Fiona was stunned when she heard the police say that there were two surveillance cameras installed at the

entrance of the lounge. Then, her face suddenly turned pale.

“There were two cameras?” she pondered. She distinctly recalled there being only one. Furthermore, she had

conducted a covert investigation and found out that the camera could solely capture images of the upper section of

the lounge door, primarily focusing on the second-floor escalator. It only incidentally captured glimpses of the

lounge.

Therefore, she especially told the janitor, whom she had bribed, to lock the door to lower the body and bend over

while locking the door so as not to be seen by the camera.

But now, the police said there was another surveillance camera.

“What is going on? Could it be that another surveillance camera caught the janitor who locked the door? If the

police find the janitor and then trace the evidence back to me, then I will…” Fiona was lost in thought.

Thinking of this, Fiona broke out in a cold sweat.

Nonetheless, when the screen in the room displayed the fast-forwarded surveillance footage from that day, it

confirmed. what Fiona had known all along. One of the surveillance cameras indeed only captured the upper

portion of the lounge door, while the lower part remained out of view.

The other footage, however, captured images of a dead corner adjacent to the lounge door.

Fiona was stunned and looked at the surveillance video in a daze. She thought, “How could it be like this? Why was

the camera pointing at a dead corner? No one would go there at all. What was the point of such a surveillance

camera?”

The police pointed to the surveillance footage aimed at the dead corner and said, “This camera could have

captured the door of the lounge, but I don’t know who moved it. It was moved 4:12 p

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief. At 4:12 p.m., she was still wearing makeup and had a lot of witnesses.

“Who moved the camera?” Calvin asked.

“We need to investigate this further. Check if anyone at the scene at that time observed someone tampering with

the camera, but I’m concerned that it might be a lengthy investigation. Additionally, we will try to reach out to

individuals who were near the mall’s lounge at that time to see if they noticed anything.” Then, the police shifted

the topic to Joseph’s confession.

According to Joseph’s confession, he came to Fiona that day, and Fiona asked him to wait in the lounge.

After about ten minutes, Joseph felt uncomfortable. Then he had no memory of it.

The test results from the hospital also came out. Joseph had indeed ingested aphrodisiac. However, it was easy to

purchase this drug online, so it was difficult to find out the source of the drug.

Despite the police’s assurance that they would continue their investigation, it was challenging for them to produce

any significant results in the short time frame due to the limited leads at their disposal.

Hearing this, Fiona felt relieved. As long as the truth couldn’t be uncovered in a short time, she believed that with

time, they would stop paying attention to the case.

After coming out of the police station, Fiona said to Rosalie, “Rosalie, I believe the police will uncover the

perpetrator. I really don’t know who wanted to harm me. You’ve endured so much for my sake!”

“Indeed, I also hope we can uncover the real perpetrator soon,” Rosalie replied, her words carrying an underlying

tone. Afterward, she turned and walked away.

Calvin stepped forward and said, “I’ll send you home!”

“That’s all right. I’ll catch the bus,” Rosalie responded. She was aware of Calvin’s affection for her, but she didn’t

share the same feelings. Hence, it was crucial for her to maintain some distance.

Fiona stepped forward and said to Calvin softly, “Calvin, let’s go.”

Little did she expect that Calvin gazed at Rosalie’s departing figure and instructed the driver, “Send Ms. Haberly

home.” After saying that, he hurriedly strode toward the direction where Rosalie had left.

Fiona gritted her teeth and turned to get in the car.

“Fiona…” Her former in-laws intercepted her. “Joseph is currently in the hospital. The doctor mentioned that the

drug might harm his body and impact his reproductive functions. As you know, he hasn’t had any children yet. He

needs to recover, but the treatment will be quite expensive. Could you contribute some funds to ensure Joseph gets

the best possible care?”

Fiona let out a cold snort. “I don’t have the money!” Afterward, she promptly entered the car and instructed the

driver to start driving, not waiting for a response from her former in-laws.

Joseph took those photos and blackmailed her for money. She hated Joseph so much, especially when Joseph

couldn’t even deal with Rosalie. He was a useless man. His incompetence had led to her pictures being exposed to

the film crew, putting her in an embarrassing situation.

She wished Joseph could lose his reproductive function like this to quell her resentment toward him. There was no

way she would spend money to treat him.

Joseph’s parents could only watch as the car drove off.

The bus station was located close to the police station, requiring only a few minutes of walking to reach. As Rosalie

approached the station, the bus she intended to board pulled in. She quickened her pace and managed to catch the

bus just in time. After swiping her monthly ticket card, she heard a sudden rush of footsteps behind her, followed by

someone boarding the bus.
