The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 10

Chapter 10
“As long as you steer clear of illicit activities, why would I ever be disappointed?” Putting on her socks and shoes, Rosalie headed toward the small table.
The corners of Jonathan’s lips curled up as he gazed at her figure, his eyes glittering subtly. He murmured, “Do hold onto those expectations, Rosie.” Ever since that night at the club, Loretta had been on edge. After all, Jason’s behavior that night was rather unusual. Moreover, he no longer appeared on set since the very next day. Two days later, even the director was switched out.
The film crew’s explanation regarding the changes was ambiguous, but Loretta somehow sensed that the director’s replacement had something to do with Jason and maybe even Rosalie.
A few days later, she was shocked to hear that Jason was severely injured and hospitalized and that his right hand was suspected to be disabled permanently. If she remembered correctly, that very hand was the one he had used to slap Rosalie.
Panic surged within Loretta. She pondered, “What in the world is going on? The way Mr. Holt’s attitude toward Rosalie changed after that phone call and this dire situation he’s in now… Could all this be a mere coincidence? Or does Rosalie really have a powerful backer supporting her? But if she does, why would she be cleaning the roads so pathetically?”
Loretta couldn’t help but share the incidents that unfolded at the club that day with her parents. When Gordon learned that Loretta had asked Rosalie to be an escort, he shot her a glare. “How could you let your sister do such a thing? Our family is still-”
“She just asked Rosalie to accompany them for a drink. Besides, Loretta did that for the family. Our family can only look forward to better days when Loretta succeeds. Are you seriously planning to rely on Rosalie, an ex-convict?” Caitlin interrupted.
Gordon’s demeanor turned gloomy at that, but he didn’t say anything
more.
“Dad, did Rosie really find a backer? Otherwise, how could Mr. Holt let her off the h ook? He’s even hospitalized now!” Loretta exclaimed.
Of course, Gordon was clueless as well.

Caitlin chimed in, “You’re her father, so you should ask her and make sure. If she really has a backer, she should at least inform the family. My concern is she might have been lured into some shady business, and she might get our family involved in the mess! She’s an ex-convict. We don’t know what kind of people she met there!”
As Caitlin spoke, she grew more convinced of her own speculations. She thought, “How could Rosalie possibly find a backer, considering the state that she’s in? She’s most likely involved with shady individuals who have no qualms about getting jailed!”
Hearing Caitlin’s words, Gordon said sternly, “She better not! If she brings any disgrace upon this family again, I will break her legs!”
While Rosalie was waiting for Jon to come back for dinner in her rental home after cooking, the doorbell rang. The moment she opened the door, she saw Gordon, Caitlin, and Loretta.
As the three of them stormed into the rental home, Gordon did not hesitate to confront her. “Did you acquaint yourself with some shady people in the prison? Listen, if you dare risk our family’s reputation, I’ll teach you a hard lesson!”
“What did I do to deserve this?” Rosalie looked at her father coldly.
“Did you have someone break Mr. Holt’s hand? He only wanted you to accompany him for a drink and did nothing else. How could you be so cruel? Did you not learn anything from being in prison? You think you’re above all now because you met some gangsters in there?” Gordon shouted.

Rosalie sneered and retaliated, “Well, what around comes around. And if you think there is nothing wrong with being an escort, then have your favorite Loretta do it rather than letting her scheme against me!”

displeasure. “Rosalie, don’t take out your anger on your sister. Your father only hopes to steer you away from trouble. Another prison term would tarnish our family’s name!”
