Chapter 511
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
She wondered, âWhy is he digging into what happened to Amelia back in prison years later? Could it be that after Warren found Amelia, he developed feelings for her again?â
As Irene was speculating, the office door suddenly swung open, and Warren walked in. When he saw the documents Irene was holding, his gaze darkened slightly.
âWhy are you here?â Warren asked.
âI-I made some snacks and brought them over for you.â Irene hesitated momentarily and said, âWarren, why are you investigating Ameliaâs records?â
Warren approached and took the documents from Irene. âSince weâre going to court, itâs natural to investigate her activities over the years. It gives us more leverage in the case.â
âIs that really the reason?â Irene pondered inwardly. However, she couldnât shake her unease. âWarren, Iâm afraid. Iâm afraid you might still have feelings for Amelia.â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? I canât possibly have feelings for her,â Warren said coldly. He turned to walk toward his desk, but Irene suddenly hugged him from behind.
âIâm sorry, I spoke out of turn. Itâs just that people online have been mocking me recently, saying that youâll never marry me and that Iâm delusional. Warren, I just love you too much. Thatâs why Iâm worried,â said Irene with a sense of grievance.
Warrenâs expression softened when he heard this. âI know. During the banquet, I left suddenly, leaving you to deal with those rumors. Iâll make it up to you. Iâll have those online comments dealt with.â
He turned slowly and looked down at her. âYou donât need to worry or be afraid. We will definitely get married.â
Irene finally smiled.
After Irene left, Warren sat back in his chair with a somewhat tired expression. He opened the file on Amelia. As he read through it today, he couldnât help but feel a suffocating sensation in his heart.
He had known that Ameliaâs time in prison must have been difficult, but when he saw the details of her suffering there, he felt overwhelmed.
A woman, a pregnant woman at that, was subjected to such inhumane treatment.
-Even the fact that she managed to give birth to Aiden safely was a stroke of luck.
âDonât let that woman affect you anymore. She doesnât deserve it,â Warren murmured as he closed his eyes wearily, trying to push the figure out of his mind.
Back at the Fletcher residence, Irene returned to find Ivy eagerly awaiting her. âHow did it go? What did Warren say?â
Irene smiled and said, âWarren said he will definitely marry me.â
âBut you mustnât make any mistakes!â Ivy warned, her tone turning venomous. âI never expected Amelia to appear in front of Warren again, and she even had a child. How can her luck be so good?
Why didnât she die in prison?â
She even went to the trouble of bribing people to ensure Amelia suffered more in prison.
âItâs too late now. No use dwelling on it,â Irene replied. âAnyway, when we get that child and raise him ourselves, I have plenty of ways to make sure it turns out badly.â
âIn any case, you must not let Warren discover the truth about how you framed Amelia back then, and alsoâ¦â Ivyâs voice trailed off for a moment. âDonât let him know that Amelia was the one who really saved him with the bone marrow transplant.â
âThe bone marrow transplant was conducted without both sides knowing who they were. Warren and Amelia didnât know each otherâs identities. Besides, I destroyed the records at the hospital. Warren will never find out,â Irene assured.
Speaking of which, the bone marrow transplant center had even called her once. At that time, she had indeed met the criteria, but she had declined, but Amelia agreed.
It was only later when she found out that the recipient was the heir of the wealthy York family that she regretted her decision. Unfortunately, by then, the transplant had already taken place.
She had to find a way to appear in front of Warren later and inadvertently reveal the information about the bone marrow transplant to make him mistakenly believe that she had saved him.
As for Amelia, she didnât even know the man she had saved would later become the one who sent her to jail.
She would never let Warren or Amelia discover it!
âThe future female head of the York family could only be melâ thought Irene.
After she received the document from Lawrence, Rosalie realized it needed to be delivered to Gunner Group.
She hesitated for a moment.
âIs there a problem?â Lawrence asked. âThis document is urgently needed over there. Sending it via a courier would only delay things. Thatâs why you were asked to deliver it.â
âNo problem,â Rosalie replied.
If she wanted to avoid suspicion with Calvin, she wouldnât get to work in most law firms in Strico. After all, many law firms had some legal dealings with Gunner Group.
Just within the past year, there were numerous legal disputes involving Gunner Groupâs celebrities.
As she held the documents, Rosalie arrived at the Gunner Group building. She explained her purpose to the receptionist.
âOkay, please wait a moment,â the receptionist said and made an internal call.
As Rosalie waited, she noticed the automatic doors of the building opening, and a group of people walked in. To her surprise, the person leading them was Calvin.
At this moment, Calvin was talking to a middle-aged man in a suit next to him.
Rosalie was stunned and subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but it was too late. Calvin had already seen her.
Under the gaze of the onlookers, Calvin walked straight up to Rosalie. âWhy are you here?â
The people around them were astonished to hear a rare touch of gentleness in his tone.
Even when Calvin spoke to his previous girlfriends, his tone was consistently cool and distant, with an obvious sense of detachment. He had never spoken in such a gentle tone before.
âThe law firm asked me to deliver some documents,â Rosalie said.
âWhich department?â Calvin asked.â
âT-The legal department,â the receptionist replied. âThe legal department requested that this young lady deliver them directly.â
âIn that case, Iâll accompany you to the Legal Department,â Calvin said.
When he said this, the higher-ups and even the receptionist were left dumbfounded.
They wondered, âDid we hear correctly? Is Mr. Gunner actually going to accompany this woman toâ¦
the Legal Department?â
Rosalie suddenly felt like she was an extinct species, but the problem was she had no choice in the matter.
