The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 744

“It wasn’t purely coincidental. Yvette picked you as her scapegoat from the start. Yvette had a crush on Zachary, but you were his girlfriend at the time. So, choosing you as the scapegoat seemed like the perfect plan for her,” Jonathan ́explained.

Rosalie’s hair stood on her back.

It turned out that Yvette’s idea was to kill two birds with one stone!

She didn’t happen to be a scapegoat by chance. She had been deliberately chosen. to shoulder the blame from the very outset of this conspiracy.

Much of the truth was harsh, but perhaps an even harsher reality lay in wait for her ahead.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and her hands clenched the thin quilt covering her. After a prolonged silence, she opened her eyes, gazed at Jonathan again, and asked, “When you reopened the case back then, you were actually hoping I wouldn’t uncover the truth, weren’t you? So, you found Mike, leading me to believe that was the whole truth.”

Jonathan’s body quivered slightly, and he slowly walked toward Rosalie.

However, in recent days, he had uttered numerous apologies before her, both when she was awake and when she was asleep.

“Why did you lie to me?” She drew a deep breath and raised her voice unconsciously. “You could have chosen not to share the truth and refrain from investigating the case. But why did you lie to me? Why did you lead me to believe that Mike was the true perpetrator? Why did you seek to protect Yvette?”
