Chapter 142
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
If Rosalie really knew some big shot, would she still work as a sanitary worker at the Environment and Sanitation Administration, or even take on background actor jobs for extra income?
*I-Itâs nothing, itâs all in the past,â Rosalie replied vaguely. âBut Yulissa, I think I may not be suitable to be a background actor. I wonât continue with this job, so please apologize to Jeremy for me, and Iâll leave the group chat later.â
Considering that many people had witnessed what happened on set yesterday, and the entertainment industry was a small circle where most people frequently interacted with each other, Rosalie felt it would be awkward to continue as a background actor Quitting seemed like the best option.
However, losing this source of extra income left her somewhat regretful, so she had to think of other ways to increase her earnings.
âI see. Yulissa could tell that Rosalie didnât want to discuss the events of yesterday any further, so she didnât press the issue. She said. Tll let Jeremy know. But itâs better if you inform him yourself before leaving the group.â
âOkay, Rosalie replied.
In her heart, she was also worried about making money. After all, she needed to repay her debt to Lillian as soon as possible. and if there were additional medical expenses for her grandmother in the future, it would only add to her financial burden.
Thinking about it, she couldnât help but feel a bitter irony.
In the past, she believed that studying hard and acquiring knowledge would enable her to earn a living, but ironically, she was now engaged in manual labor to make money. All those years of studying various subjects and even memorizing legal texts seemed utterly useless to her.
She couldnât help but wonder if this was a form of irony.
After work, Rosalie went to a small food stall near the Environment and Sanitation Administration and had a simple boxed meal.
Compared to the dinners prepared by the Youngblood residenceâs chef, this boxed meal was undoubtedly inferior, but when she ate it, she felt no burden or restraint.
Unlike at the Youngblood residence, where eating with Jonathan often made her feel as though she were bound and weighed down, with a heavy sense of oppression that sometimes made her want to escape.
Ultimately, it was because she couldnât truly understand this man. Even when he said he could be her âJonâ alone, she had no idea how much of it was sincere and how much was a jest.
Or perhaps, her experiences in prison had left her with a deep-seated fear of him, and she was genuinely afraid of him.
She was afraid that she might inadvertently provoke him, and he would subject her to those hellish days again!
Shaking her head, Rosalie told herself to stop dwelling on it. She quickly finished her fast food and then took a bus to her original home.
But now, this place was no longer home to her.
Rosalie pressed the doorbell, and shortly after, it was Loretta who answered the door..
âRosie, youâre here,â Loretta greeted with a demeanor reminiscent of a dutiful wife, a stark contrast to her earlier confrontational attitude when they first met on set.
Rosalie gave her a faint glance and walked into the house.
Caitlin warmly approached her, saying, âRosalie, youâve come. Your dad and I were just talking about you.â
âCome, have a seat first,â Gordon said.
Rosalie took a seat and directly asked, âWhere are they moving Momâs grave?â
kreat âThereâs no rush for that Gordon waved his hand. âLetâs talk about you and your sister first. Today, I want to play the peacemaker between you two. No matter what happened in the past, youâre still sisters. As the elder sister, you should look out for your younger sisterâ
Rosalie frowned slightly I just want to know where theyâre moving Momâs graveâ
Gordon became displeased Tve already told you, weâll discuss that later. Letâs focus on your and your sisterâs matters first.â
âRosie, if I did anything wrong in the past, please donât hold it against me. I apologize to you,â Loretta said with a sincere expression.
But Rosalie remained guarded.
The more earnest Loretta acted, the more suspicious she became.
As expected, Rosalie got to know Lorettaâs true intentions from Gordonâs next words.
âAll right, you are sisters after all. Donât let a man come between you,â Gordon told Rosalie. âRosalie, Calvin is Lorettaâs boyfriend. You mustnât ruin her chance at happiness. Besides, youâre getting closer to Jonathan now, right? You shouldnât interfere in your sisterâs relationship with Calvin.â
Rosalie suddenly understood the point. This was the real issue.
âI have no interest in meddling in her relationship with Calvin. I just want to know where theyâre moving Momâs grave,â Rosalie repeated her question once again.
Gordon grew displeased. âAre you unwilling? Do you really want to interfere in Loretta and Calvinâs relationship? Let me tell you, if you dare to ruin Lorettaâs future, you wonât be able to visit your motherâs grave for the rest of your life!â
Rosalie stared coldly at her father. âWhether Iâm willing or not is not the point. If Calvin truly likes her, no one can take her away. If Calvin wasnât serious about her from the beginning, then she canât hold on to him either.â
âWhat do you mean by that?â Caitlin, who was standing nearby, became anxious. âYou must be unable to marry Jonathan, so youâre cursing Loretta like this! Loretta is different from you. Sheâs pure, without any criminal record, and sheâll win the best actress award in the future. Itâs not the same as you.â
âIf you think sheâs different from me, then let her capture Calvin with her own abilities, Rosalie said coldly.
She actually didnât fully understand why Calvin had chosen Loretta as his girlfriend. Was it out of love?
It didnât seem like it because if it were love, he wouldnât have let Loretta kneel in front of so many people on set.
Even though it was at Jonathanâs request, with Calvinâs background, he didnât have to fear Jonathan to that extent.
Moreover, Rosalie had witnessed how Calvin treated his ex-girlfriend. Perhaps those who appeared the most affectionate were actually the coldest-hearted. She didnât believe that Loretta would truly be Calvinâs last girlfriend.
âI came here today only for Momâs grave relocation. You can give me the necessary documents and household registry, and Iâll take care of it myself, Rosalie said. Speaking of which, her household registration had not been officially transferred from her family yet.
However, she hadnât transferred it because she didnât know where to relocate it. She didnât own any property in Strico, and she couldnât add it to the collective household registration at the Environment and Sanitation Administration. As for putting it with her grandmotherâs household registration, her relatives would probably assume she wanted to claim part of the demolition compensation, and they wouldnât agree.
Suddenly, Rosalie felt incredibly isolated as if she didnât even have a place to call her own.
