The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 233

“Do you think I should reveal the truth to her?” Jonathan asked calmly, but his eyes harbored a profound chill.

Suddenly, Carlos shuddered, realizing he had inadvertently crossed a line with his boss.

Jonathan couldn’t tolerate outsiders asking about Rosalie’s case.

Carlos understood that he just had to follow Jonathan’s instructions.

“Then I’ll go to Sloummont now,” Carlos said, leaving the study.

Just when he left the study, he saw Rosalie walking toward him.

“Ms. Leighton, are you here to see Mr. Youngblood?” Carlos inquired respectfully, fully aware that, if nothing else,

the woman standing before him would soon become the lady of the Youngblood family.

Even if Jonathan was just playing games with this woman at first, now he had become serious.

Furthermore, Carlos had never witnessed Jonathan treating a woman with such sincerity. Not even Melanie, who

was on the verge of becoming the Youngblood family’s noblewoman, had ever garnered such earnest attention

from him in the past.

Yet, here was Rosalie, achieving the unimaginable in Strico.

“Yes,” Rosalie replied. “You come here late at night. Did something urgent happen in the company?”

“Yes, but it’s not that important. I won’t trouble you any longer. I’ll take my leave,” Carlos said.

“Goodbye, Mr. Gibson.” Rosalie walked to the study’s door, knocked twice, pushed open the door, and went in.

Carlos didn’t dare to sigh until the study’s door was closed again.

It was obvious that Rosalie would not get the truth she sought tomorrow, as it may remain concealed. Even if

Jonathan wasn’t the culprit, he looked on indifferently when the misfortune befell Rosalie back then.

He feared that Jonathan might now regret his actions.

Carlos hurried downstairs and left the Youngblood Residence. After all, he still had work to attend to tonight.

In the study, Rosalie looked at Jonathan, who stood by the window with a smile. He asked, “What brings you here to

the study?”

“I’m here to let you know that when we go to Sloummont with Lillian tomorrow, she’ll pick us up in her car. She

mentioned it would be more convenient for us to chat during the ride. Plus, if anyone gets tired on the way, we can

take turns driving,” Rosalie explained.

“Okay, no problem,” Jonathan said.

“It’s scheduled for 7:00 a.m. since the drive will take approximately two hours, and we’re expected to reach our

destination around 9:00 a.m.,” Rosalie added.

“No problem,” Jonathan said. “Since we are leaving tomorrow at 7:00 a.m., you should rest early.”

“What about you?” she asked.

“I have something to deal with. You can go to bed first,” he said. “I’ll go to bed after everything is settled.””

Rosalie nodded. After all, it was inevitable that he would be busy managing such a large company.

Rosalie turned around and was about to leave the study. Suddenly, Jonathan reached out his hand and directly

embraced her in his arms, giving her a tight hug.

“What’s wrong?” Rosalie was a little caught off guard. His hug was too sudden.

“Nothing,” he replied softly, his voice low as he nestled his face into her neck, inhaling her scent.

Holding her like this, it was as if he had already felt a strong sense of attachment and affection.

Inexplicably, Rosalie couldn’t help but find Jonathan’s behavior at this moment somewhat childish, like a child

holding a cherished toy tightly.

And she was the toy.

Rosalie raised her hand and gently hugged Jonathan back.

The moment her hands wrapped around his body, Jonathan suddenly trembled slightly. After a moment, he

whispered in her ear, “Rosie, I like you holding me like this. Can you hug me for a while longer?”

His whispered words were sweet and tender, filled with affection, making it impossible for anyone to refuse his

request. “Okay She answered and hugged him like this, allowing time to flow quietly…

Early the next morning, Lillian arrived punctually at the Youngblood residence to pick them up. Surprisingly, Callum

was also with her, and he was also the driver.

He was driving Lillian’s cheap car.

At the entrance of the Youngblood residence, Callum and Jonathan exchanged glances. Meanwhile, Lillian gently

took Rosalie’s hand and guided her to the backseat of the car, eager to reunite with her best friend and share their

thoughts and

emotions.

After all, because of Rosalie’s busy work schedule, they usually had a gathering only once a month.

“Is Callum driving later?” Rosalie asked. After all, it was Callum who drove here just now.

“Yes.” Lillian shrugged. “Besides, men should take the wheel.” Initially, Callum had planned to drive his luxury car

worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, Lillian felt that using such a conspicuous car to visit a detention

center might attract unnecessary attention.

Furthermore, if they took turns driving and she had to drive a luxury car of that caliber, she’d be concerned about

the possibility of an accidental collision.

In contrast, her small, beat-up car could easily handle the drive. Even in the event of a collision, the repair costs

wouldn’t be astronomical.

So she insisted on driving her own car.

Fortunately, Callum didn’t bother the issue with her, so they ended up driving her car over.

“Have you figured out the key questions to talk about today?” Lillian asked. “This is the main business to be done

today.” Rosalie nodded. “I’ve written them all down in the book, but I can’t talk to him myself. He should remember

how I look.” “No,” Lillian said. “Callum has hired a mediator to help with the dispute. The mediator will ask these key

questions during the process.”

Rosalie didn’t expect that Callum had thought of such a detail. “By the way, how did the witness end up in the

detention center?”

Rosalie began to wonder if this was just a coincidence. When they started investigating the witnesses, they

coincidentally ended up in the detention center, and Callum conveniently found the mediator.

Lillian chuckled. “Callum found a group of people who got drunk and had a dispute with that person. Then the man

beat someone up and was detained.”

Rosalie didn’t know what to say.

“Anyway, the witness with the last name Concord is not a good person. He took advantage of your case and made a

lot of money back then. Now he’s in detention. It’s a relatively lenient outcome for him,” Lillian remarked, showing

no sympathy for the witness.
