The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 175

“Speaking of which, you haven’t been back at the office for a long time. Those old colleagues miss you very much.

It’s good that we can meet you anytime in the future now. Since you’re here, you won’t leave without meeting

them, will you?” said Elodia while dragging Rosalie inside.

Rosalie glanced at Elodia indifferently. She naturally knew what the latter was thinking.

In that case, she would just face it directly. If she escaped, then she would really become a joke.

“Tll meet them, then, Rosalie agreed without hesitation.

Her attitude stunned Elodia. After all, it was not what Elodia wanted to see.

After walking inside, Elodia clapped her hands in the office to attract everyone’s attention. “Guys, look who’s here.

Our former colleague, Rosalie, is here to see us.

In no time, many in the office looked toward the duo.

Rosalie looked around and noticed those people included her former colleagues and new colleagues she did not

know. “Ms. Cresent, did this young lady use do work here, too? Where is she working now?’ a young colleague

asked.

That question was what Elodia wanted to hear. Still, she put on a regretful look and said. “She used to be the most

promising new lawyer here. Everyone said that she would become a top lawyer soon and many prominent law

firms would snap her up.”

“Then which law firm is she in now?” the newcomer asked curiously.

“Well…” Elodia looked at Rosalie as if she was in a dilemma, hesitant to speak.

Rosalie only felt that Elodia’s act was too lame. It would be fine if Elodia wanted to humiliate her. What disgusted

her was that Elodia tried to humiliate her but still pretended she was being put in a difficult position and couldn’t

bear to say anything at the same time.

“I’m now a delivery woman of Aiden’s Diner. All of you are welcome to place your orders. I can bring you guys the

menu next time, Rosalie said generously, not as embarrassing and awkward as Elodia had imagined. Rosalie even

smiled.

Such a smile made her face look indescribably gentle.

Elodia secretly gritted her teeth and shouted in her heart with hatred, “Go on with that! I’d like to see how much

longer you can put on a show, Rosalie”

Elodia pretended to be kind and reminded Rosalie, “Rosalie, I saw your boyfriend when I went shopping last time.

He dressed like a rich man. Why do you still have to make a living by delivering food for a diner? Be careful and

don’t get fooled. Many people like to show off nowadays. They have little money but insist on pretending to be rich

and may even owe a bunch of money on various online loans.”

Rosalie smiled faintly. “All right. I’ll ask him another day.”

Elodia felt like she had been snubbed. It was as if Rosalie was not bothered by what she said at all.

Apparently, some newcomers in the firm did not know why Rosalie switched her job from a lawyer to a delivery

woman. When Rosalie turned around and walked toward the firm’s exit, she heard someone behind her asking that

question.

Needless to say, the person who answered was Elodia. She seemed to deliberately raise her voice, saying that

Rosalie was sentenced to jail for killing someone while drunk driving.

Rosalie smiled faintly and mused, “Was Elodia trying to humiliate me to make up for her frustration of being

suppressed by me in the past few years? It’s true that you may not be able to see people for who they really are

when you are in your glorious moment, but you will surely see them clearly when you are having a hard time.”

Just as Rosalie walked out of the office and went to the elevator, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded

behind her, followed by a voice. “Rosalie, wait a minute!”

Rosalie turned around and saw a man hurrying over. He stopped before her and gazed at her with an obscure look.

The man in his thirties had a standard figure and average look. He was dressed in a suit, just like those city social

elites usually wear.

“Yes?” Rosalie looked at the old colleague. The man used to work with her in the firm, and rumor had been going

around the firm for some time that he liked her. However, she was already in a relationship with Zachary at that

time and did not take such a rumor seriously.

The rumor gradually stopped after that.

Meanwhile, Zayden Hill looked at the woman before him. Although she still had the same appearance, her

temperament had changed entirely. Her previous energetic and radiant look had turned stoic and downcast.

Even the light in her eyes seemed to be suppressed by something.

“If… If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I will definitely try my best to help you, Zayden said sincerely.

Rosalie only felt it was ironic. Back then, no one in the law firm dared to take over her lawsuit. Lillian had also visited

the law firm for Rosalie many times but had always returned home in disappointment.

“I don’t think I need your help right now,” Rosalie replied.

Zayden hurriedly said, “It’ll not be a long-term job for you to be a delivery woman. Maybe I can ask my friend to

introduce you to a better job. You can earn a good income and don’t have to undergo hardship like this.”

“Introducing me to a job?” Rosalie slightly curled her lips. “Have you forgotten who was the deceased victim in my

case? It’s Melanie Hamilton, Jonathan Youngblood’s fiancée. Are you not afraid?”

Zayden seemed somewhat embarrassed. “Sorry that I didn’t do anything about your lawsuit back then. In fact, I

have been regretting it these years. Now that you are released, I only want to help you as much as I can.”

“You don’t have to apologize for not helping me back then. It’s normal for people to seek benefits and avoid harm.

It was at favor to help me at that time, and no one should be blamed for not helping me. But I’ve gone through all

of that now. There’s no need for you to help me anymore.”

After Rosalie finished her words, the elevator happened to arrive. The door opened, and she walked into it.

Zayden watched the elevator door slowly close with a desolate expression, slowly clenching his hands into fists.

In truth, he had an impulse to take over Rosalie’s case and help her back then.

He knew she was definitely not a person who would drink and drive. She even often reminded the surrounding

people not to drive after drinking alcohol.
