The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 549

“Yes, they can’t take you away even if they find out about this place.” As he spoke, he took out his phone and handed it to her.

It was not her phone, but his!

However, luckily, Rosalie had a sharp memory. She remembered both Lillian and Amelia’s phone numbers.

Rosalie then proceeded to dial Lillian’s number.

When Lillian picked up the phone and heard Rosalie’s voice on the other end, her excitement nearly caused her to fumble the device. “Rosalie, you… Where are you? Do you realize how terribly worried I’ve been ever since Jonathan took you? Has he done anything to you? That scoundrel has actually abducted you. This is outright kidnapping, Rosalie!”

Embarrassment washed over Rosalie as the call was on speakerphone, and Jonathan heard every word Lillian said.

Jonathan wore a half-smile as he glanced at the phone. Rosalie feared that Lillian’s words might provoke Jonathan, so she hastily interjected, “I… I’m fine, Lillian. I thought I’d call and reassure you not to be concerned about me. As for Amelia’s lawsuit, I had intended to help, but I might not be able to at the moment. If I haven’t returned in a week, could you ask Callum to find Amelia a good lawyer?”

As Rosalie uttered these words, they landed on Amelia like an unexpected gust of wind, immediately jolting Lillian’s senses. The latter could not help but react with a flurry of questions, each one more urgent than the last. “What’s happening, Rosalie? What’s gone wrong? You won’t be able to make it after a week? Is Jonathan holding you against your will?”

Lillian’s barrage of questions left Rosalie in a state of bewildered uncertainty, unsure how to respond.

With a deep breath, Rosalie eventually mustered a reply, “I’ll deal with the matter between me and Jonathan. Don’t worry about me. Also… if it’s possible, do lend Amelia a hand if you can.”

Having spoken her piece, Rosalie ended the call.

Jonathan’s tone remained cool and detached as he spoke, “Even at a time like this, your thoughts are still consumed with helping Amelia?”

With her gaze lowered, Rosalie replied softly, “It’s the least I can do.” Nonetheless, despite her efforts, it was likely that Amelia’s lawsuit was heavily weighted toward an unfavorable outcome.
