Chapter 80
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
If Jonathan really helped Rosalie take revenge on the Xanthos family, then the Xanthos family would suffer a total loss. At that time, the Xanthos family would probably be removed from the circle of the rich and powerful in Strico.
âM-Mr. Youngblood, I-â Zachary hurriedly tried to defend himself.
But Rosalie interrupted him and said to Jonathan. âNo need. He was a stranger to me when we broke up. At least I should be glad that I could learn of his true colors through a car accident.â
Zacharyâs face turned pale, and he felt pathetic. And when Rosalie talked, she didnât look at Zachary at all from start to finish.
âIn that case, good.â Jonathan got up and walked to Zachary. He patted Zachary on the shoulder and continued, âYou should thank her for not going after you. Otherwise, you wonât see the Xanthos familyâs company in Strico at this time next year.â
Shocked by his statement, Zachary sweated buckets. Immediately, he thanked Rosalie before helping Zendaya out of the ward.
It wasnât until they walked out of the hospital that they felt like they had come back to life.
âZach, why do you think Jonathan is interested in Rosalie?â Zendaya asked in a huff âI told you. Donât mess with Rosalie.â Zachary replied angrily.
âRosalie is just bullying others by flaunting her connection with Jonathan! If Jonathan werenât there, she would have been nothing!â Zendaya had suffered so much unfairness and humiliation just now. At this moment, she hated Rosalie very much. âDo you know that the Xanthos family would be in great trouble if she said she wanted revenge just now!â In this regard, Zachary was grateful to Rosalie. At the very least, she didnât rub salt into their wound.
âIs Jonathan really going to deal with the Xanthos family just as a sanitary worker?â
âWhat do you think?â Zachary rolled his eyes at Zendaya and continued, âAnyway, for the sake of our family, donât mess with Rosalie anymore. Otherwise, we canât save you, or worse, you could drag us down in the future!â
Zendaya wanted to say something more, but thinking of what happened in the ward before, she finally shrank back and said nothing.
Meanwhile, in the ward, Jonathan was standing in front of Rosalie. He leaned down and looked at her with a faint smile on his handsome face. His beautiful eyes sparkled and dazzled like the sun.
Although the man looked like an angel of light, what he did made people shudder in fear.
âAre you happy today, Rosie?â Even his voice was so gentle and pleasant.
Rosalie stared at the man in front of her and said, âDid you call Zachary and Zendaya here today to put on a show just to tell me you can do the things I could never do all my life, right?â
âMore than that. I also want to tell you that I can give you the respect and dignity you need and even help you achieve your life goals and hopes.â
He raised his hand and gently lifted a strand of hair that fell on her shoulder.
1 âIf you want to be a lawyer, a celebrity, or a business owner in the future, I can help you. I can help you become a person you. What do above all others and make those who used to look down on you and laugh at you all bow their heads before you think?â he murmured.
His soft voice was like the most beautiful sound in the world.
She thought, âHeâs really proposing an attractive offer in front of me. No, scratch that, heâll hand what I want to me on a silver platter, and I know how well he can do it, but-â
âDo you want the to stay with you?â she asked.
âYes,â he answered.
-âTeanât refuse, right?â she asked again.
His eyes flashed slightly, and the smile on his face faded little by little. Then he slowly straightened up and looked down at butâ¦â her condescendingly. âNo, you can refuse me. I can give you the right to say no.
After a pause, he stared at her with a faint smile and asked, âAre you really going to refuse me?â
At that instant, Rosalie felt as if the air around her was frozen. If she agreed, then she could indeed get à lot and even change her fate.
If someone else said these words to her, maybe she would agree.
However, this was Jonathan. She had a deep fear of this man. She could say that he had never really done anything to her, but his words ultimately made her suffer in prison.
10:071 She had to go to jail for three years. Moreover, at the court trial, when the lawyers heard that the person who died in the car accident was Jonathanâs fiancée, no lawyer dared to take her case.
To add insult to injury, the false evidence and the witnessesâ similar testimony saying she was drinking made her wonder if this had something to do with him.
This man was like a nightmare, and the pressure was suffocating her. After knowing his true identity, she couldnât help herself from going stiff every time he approached her.
She would tremble uncontrollably when he had some kind of physical contact with her.
How could she stay with such a man?
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the trembling in her body and said, âYes, I want to refuse.â
His face darkened, and his black eyes became cold. âAre you really going to refuse?â
âYes,â she replied.
He suddenly sneered, âOkay. I didnât expect that one day I would be rejected by a woman. Think carefully. Rosalie. Do you know what will happen to you in Strico without my protection? Even if the Xanthos and Hamilton families donât go after you in the future, are you really going to sweep the road your entire life?â
She bit her lip and said. âThatâs my business.â
His thin lips almost became a straight line, and anger rose from his heart. It was the first time he put effort into a woman, but she didnât appreciate that and kept wanting to leave his side.
He had never become this angry in a very long time, so angry that he wanted to strangle her, but in the end, he couldnât bear 1.
He thought, âI couldnât bear to do it. How laughable. I never imagined Iâd use these words one day.â
Then, Jonathan left without a word. Until that moment, Rosalieâs tensed body relaxed.
When the doctor came to give Rosalie a daily routine examination, he told her that she had recovered.
The results from the blood test indicated she had no drug residue in her body.
âCan I be discharged from the hospital now?â Rosalie asked.
