The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 548

Horatio’s gaze fixed on his son’s right hand, which was still swathed in bandages as he spoke.

Those were injuries incurred for the sake of a woman, a situation that would appear ludicrous to all who witnessed it.

“I’d do anything to locate her. I’d break my other hand if I had to,” Calvin declared with determination.

“You…” Horatio was seething with anger.

Samantha, realizing the rising tension, wasted no time stepping in. She tried to calm her husband before shifting her attention to her son. “Don’t be upset with your father. It is clear that Jonathan harbors strong feelings for that woman. Why get caught up in this mess?”

While the Youngblood family wielded significant influence in Strico, the Gunner family was equally formidable. Samantha had no qualms about confronting them. To her, this was just a matter of dealing with a woman, a far cry from the girl her son had been infatuated with since childhood. In her view, there were plenty of replaceable people in the world.

The entertainment industry was never lacking in beautiful women.

Samantha believed that her son would inevitably find someone right for him, and thus, there was no need to obsess over one woman Jonathan was unwilling to let go of.

However, the words Calvin had uttered next left Samantha in shock.

“Mom, I can’t keep avoiding this situation because I’ve fallen in love with Rosalie!”

“You… What did you say?” Samantha exclaimed, taken aback. While her son had had his fair share of girlfriends, this was the first time she had heard him express his love for someone.

“I’m in love with Rosalie, and I’ve come to a point where I can’t envision my life without her,” Calvin asserted with perseverance. “Even if Jonathan refuses to let go, I won’t back down!”

After numerous compromises, he had finally grasped the true depths of his own feelings. He would not compromise them again.

Rosalie was the one woman he yearned to spend his life with, and no one else.

“What did you just say? Say
