The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 141

“It’s just because Rosalie can’t get anything good for herself, she doesn’t want Loretta to get anything good either! If she is trying to ruin things between Loretta and Calvin, I’ll rip her apart!” Caitlin said angrily.

“Could there be some misunderstanding?” Gordon calmly asked instead. After all, Rosalie was still his daughter. He didn’t really mind which daughter ended up with Calvin.

The key was that he could be Calvin’s father-in-law.

Caitlin said, “What misunderstanding could there possibly be? She’s just trying to climb the social ladder! Why else would she get close to Calvin after meeting Jonathan? Doesn’t she realize that being an ex-convict, no one will take her seriously? It’s nothing more than a fling.”

Caitlin was doing her best to tarnish her stepdaughter’s reputation at the moment, fearing that she might steal her own daughter’s chance at a great marriage.

“But Loretta is different. She’s completely innocent! She’s Calvin’s legitimate girlfriend now. In the future, she’ll win the best actress award and marry into the Gunner family. It’s all a matter of course!”

Caitlin spoke as if Loretta were going to win the best actress award and become Mrs. Gunner tomorrow.

Gordon nodded and said. “All right. I’ll have Rosalie come home and talk to her then. She needs to keep her distance from Calvin and not interfere with Loretta’s prospects.”

Loretta and Caitlin exchanged a knowing glance, both wearing expressions of satisfaction on their faces.

“Thank you, Dad,” Loretta said. But then a flicker of concern crossed her face. “But what if Rosie doesn’t listen?”

“I’m her dad, and unless she changes her last name, she has to listen to me!” Gordon declared firmly.

Loretta lowered her head slightly with a hint of a smile on her lips.

Later that night, Rosalie received a phone call from her father, Gordon.
