Chapter 1228
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
That woman seemed to have a good relationship with Calvin.
Harriet then wondered if Riley was taken away by that woman.
Suddenly, Harrietâs body shook. She raised her head and only saw a figure standing at the door of the room.
It was Zephyr.
Harriet was surprised because she didnât notice when he opened the door.
When she married Zephyr, she slept in another bed. They were newlyweds at that time, but she slept in another room. That kind of thing was like a humiliation to her.
However, she had to pretend that she wanted some private space on the outside, which led to that situation.
Only she knew that it was because Zephyr didnât fully accept her that they slept in different rooms. It was as if he was telling her silently that she could never enter his world.
Yet, he suddenly appeared at the door of her room.
âWhoâs been taken away?â Zephyr asked Harriet coldly.
âItâs nothing. Itâs just a trivial matter. Iâll ask someone to deal with it,â Harriet replied calmly.
Zephyr slowly walked into the room and approached Harriet. âWho is missing?â
That inquiry was actually more like questioning. She even felt that he had guessed something.
Harrietâs lips trembled slightly and she finally said reluctantly, âMy sister.â
Zephyr pursed his thin lips and said, âI thought she was in the hospital. How could she be gone?â
âI⦠My parents and I took her out of the hospital. We wanted to transfer her to another hospital, but we hadnât arranged for it yet, so we put her in the mansion first. I didnât expect that someone would take her away from the building.â Harriet mixed lies with the truth.
09:16 Zephyrâs expression changed. âWhy did you suddenly transfer her to another hospital? Why didnât you mention this to me?â
âYou donât like listening to me, so I didnât mention it.â Of course, there was no way Harriet could mention it. In fact, she wished he would forget about Riley already.
Zephyr frowned as he wondered who would take Riley away.
Inexplicably, Warren and Amelia, who had been to his company before, appeared in his mind.
Consequently, he wondered if the woman who claimed to be a friend of Rileyâs asked Warren to take Riley away.
As he was deep in thought, Harrietâs voice rang in his ear again. âI thought of someone who mightâve taken Riley away. Maybe it was the lawyer named Rosalie that I met at the banquet before. She seemed to have an extraordinary relationship with Calvin, and she talked a lot with Peach Johanson, someoneâs wife of the Griffin family, at the banquet. She must want to know about Riley and the Griffin family from Peach. Rosalie was also the one who visited Riley with two other people before!â
Harriet then pretended to be worried. âIâm so worried about my sister. Iâm afraid of what they would do to her if they really kidnapped her. They also claim to be friends of my sister. However, when I think about it, they never showed up to visit her despite her being ill for so many years. It is very suspicious that they suddenly show up like thisâ¦â
âThe Griffin familyâ¦â Zephyrâs voice was cold. For him, one taboo was Riley, and the other was the Griffin family.
After all, Nicholas, the youngest son of the Griffin family, was once hi good friend. However, Nicholas and his fiancée were also the ones wh betrayed him.
At that time, he had also turned against Nicholas because of Riley.
Zephyr thought he could never forget what Nicholas told him back then âZephyr, you donât know Riley at all. If you knew her, you wouldnât have said such words to me today!â
Nicholas had said back then.
âWhat, are you saying you understand her? Including what sheâs like in bed? Do you think sheâs great in bed? So much so that youâre obsessed with her? Unfortunately, she is just a woman I played with!â
Zephyr exclaimed.
2:4 09:16 When Zephyr said that, Nicholas directly punched him. Naturally, Zephyr wasnât going to take that lying down, so the two fought.
In the end, both of them got injured.
When Nicholas finally left, he just said, âZephyr, you are really blind. To think I envied you! What a shame.â
Zephyr hadnât realized what Nicholas meant yet, but the latter was already dead. Naturally, he wouldnât be receiving an answer.
Thinking of that, Zephyr scowled. âYou mean someone deliberately approached the people of the Griffin family for Riley?â
âYeahâ¦â Harriet said awkwardly. At that moment, Zephyrâs eyes made her inexplicably tremble. âI thought they were trying to gossip, but I didnât expect them to take Riley away.â
âIâll find them! As long theyâre still in Lommore, Iâll find them!â Zephyr said coldly and walked directly out of the room toward the study. Harriet hurriedly followed and heard Zephyr order his subordinates to look for Riley on the phone. He even said to use the Scott familyâs power to locate Riley.
Harrietâs heart skipped a beat, and envy flashed past her eyes. Zephyr used so much power to look for Riley and even directly asked his elders for a favor.
At that moment, Harriet couldnât help but wonder why Zephyr was doing so much to locate Riley who betrayed him.
As such, Harriet suspected that perhaps Zephyr still cared about Riley some extent. If Zephyr did, perhaps his care for Riley had transforme from one that was obvious to one that was more subtle.
Meanwhile, Rosalie sent Riley to the hospital that Wyatt already arran for and the doctor he hired.
Then, Rosalie stood guard outside the war According to the doctor, producing a preliminary diagnosis would take a least three hours, However, as long as the preliminary diagnosis showed that Riley was not a mentally ill patient, that was good enough. Even if the people of the Summer family found out, there would be enough reasons to question whether they were suitable to be Rileyâs caretaker. They could also question the previous diagnosis so that Riley would be protected and free before making the final diagnosis.
09:16 Guillermo had fallen asleep in Rosalieâs arms. Rosalie looked at the son in her arms with a trace of pride on her face.
That night, her son was of great help.
Even at a young age, his abilities could not be underestimated.
