The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 32

Although Rosalie’s appearance still looked the same, she gave people a feeling that she was exhausted. Now, what Rosalie wore was not those high–end fashionable clothes but fluorescent workwear.

Zachary was in a trance. Back in prison, the scene of Rosalie desperately crawling to him and begging him to believe her once again appeared

before his eyes.

At that time, Rosalie looked at him anxiously and pleadingly with hope. But now, her eyes were calm with the lack of emotions.

From the corner of her eye, Yvette observed the reaction of her boyfriend standing beside her. With a gentle smile on her face, she handed the readied gift box to Rosalie and said, “This is for you. I’m sorry to have asked you to help me find the ring that day.” Yvette’s attitude was so different from the resentment she had shown back then.

Rosalie took the box silently and left without saying anything.

When she was back inside the building, Rosalie handed the box to Yulissa. “Yulissa, you can have it.”

“Huh? You don’t want such good clothes?” Yulissa asked in surprișe.

“I have enough clothes to wear, ” Rosalie answered.

“Well then, there’s still 100 dollars in it…” Yvette said.

“I don’t want it either.” After saying that, Rosalie looked at the time. Lunch break was almost over, so she picked up the cleaning tools and prepared to go to clean the road section.

When Rosalie arrived outside, she found that all the reporters had left. She was relieved by that.

Yet, just as she walked out of the Environment and Sanitation Administration building, she came face to face with Zachary.

“You… How are you?” Zachary asked. He hated this woman in the past for killing Melanie, which caused him to be accused by his own family, nearly making the Xanthos family lose their harmony.

However, when he saw Rosalie in the sanitary worker’s workwear, it made him feel uncomfortable.

After all, this woman was still someone he had once loved in some way.

“I think it has nothing to do with you with how my life is going, Mr.

Xanthos,” Rosalie said indifferently and then walked forward, trying to bypass the man.

“Rosalie, don’t be so ungrateful!” Zachary said while stopping her.

“Ungrateful?” Rosalie sneered and glanced at Zachary with an indifferent gaze. “Are you going to let Yvette pull my fingernails or break the bones of my fingers again? Do you want me to be incapable of even holding a broom in the future to feel satisfied?”

It had been three years, and some pains remained even after the years went by.

When Rosalie needed Zachary the most back then, the man watched coldly as a bystander and even allowed others to hurt her that much. Now, Rosalie was amused that he even dared to come and ask about her well–being.

It was utterly ridiculous to her.

Zachary could not help but frown. Rosalie’s expression and attitude made him unhappy. “You brought that upon yourself for what you had done, You killed Melanie. Even if Yvette did anything to you, you have nothing to complain about!”

Rosalie’s face turned pale.

Zachary continued, “You have to know that you were the one who killed Melanie. Even your own family had avoided you like the plague. No one dares to care about you! If I hadn’t seen you in such a depressed state now, I would have…”

He pursed his thin lips and sighed. “How about this? I’ll talk with my company’s HR Department manager later and have you work as a clerk in some of Xanthos Group’s subsidiaries. That would be better for you than doing sanitary work every day.”

After all, Rosalie was the person he had dated before. He still felt a little uncomfortable seeing her in such a state now.

However, Rosalie seemed to be amused. She laughed lightly and took a step to leave.

Zachary only felt as if all his efforts had been belittled. A surge of anger rose in his chest. “Rosalie, what’re you trying to do? I’ve already taken a great risk to help you like this!”

“It seems that no one needs you to take such a risk,” Rosalie replied indifferently. “Besides, aren’t you afraid of letting Ms. Hamilton know

13. HI

what you’re doing?”

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded. “What’re you two talking about?”

Zachary stiffened and released his hold on Rosalie’s arm at an incredible speed. Then, he turned to Yvette, who was walking toward him. “Nothing.”

Hearing this, Yvette stepped forward and held Zachary’s arm. “Zachary, why are you talking to someone like her? Aren’t you afraid that Jonathan will find out about it? As you know, Melanie was the only woman. Jonathan would have married. Even if she had died three years ago, Jonathan had not been with other women up to now…”

Although Yvette did not finish her words, the meaning was self–evident.

Zachary’s face turned gloomy as he thought of the withdrawal of the projection advertising and Jonathan’s refusal to participate in the two families‘ engagement party for the marriage of convenience.

The Xanthos family was also speculating whether Jonathan did not like their family because of Rosalie.

“Rosalie, you only deserve to be a sanitary worker. Do you think

Jonathan knew that you had been released from prison? Perhaps not long from now, you won’t even have a place to stay in Strico.” After saying that, Yvette took Zachary’s arm and left haughtily like a queen.

Rosalie remained calm and picked up the cleaning tools before stepping on the bicycle equipped by the Environment and Sanitation

Administration and heading toward the intersection where she was going to clean.

To her, the love she had for Zachary back then had completely

disappeared. In the present, she would only feel like she met a stranger when she saw Zachary again.

Even if she saw Zachary and Yvette being intimate, she would no longer feel anything.

When Rosalie was departing, she did not notice that a figure in the corner not far away had witnessed the scene just now.

In the news agency, a reporter named Zeke Lawson watched the video captured that day, showing Yvette going to the Environment and Sanitation Administration to apologize and hand out gifts.

When he saw Rosalie appearing in the camera, he could not help but

furrow his eyebrows. He always felt that he had seen this woman before but could not remember the location and time of seeing her.

He wondered who this woman was and felt confused that she looked

familiar to him. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Zeke watched the video repeatedly before finally noticing that Zachary’s expression seemed to become a little uncomfortable when the woman appeared.

“Zachary Xanthos…” While thinking of the man’s name, something seemed to come up in Zeke’s mind in an instant. With that, he searched for information on his computer quickly.

After searching for a moment, news from three years ago appeared before his eyes. The woman in the photo was the last person who took the gift from Yvette earlier today.

“What a coincidence!” Zeke could not help but think in surprise and release a sigh.

Zachary’s girlfriend from three years ago unexpectedly became a sanitary worker three years later. Now, she even received an apology gift from Zachary’s current girlfriend.

Zeke felt excited. He could almost foresee that the number of shares would be unimaginable once he wrote an article about this information. The article would likely go viral and become trending on social

media.

Zeke immediately began to write the article with excitement. Still, when he finished writing and submitted it to the chief editor for approval, the chief editor directly rejected it and asked him to write a new one.

“Why should I rewrite it?” Zeke complained with dissatisfaction. “My article will definitely become popular.”
