The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 801

After all, only by knowing one’s enemies would one be able to win battles against them.

Meanwhile, several socialites from Strico followed behind Lucille, many of whom were interested in Jonathan. Of course, it was clear they were there for the show, especially since Lucille was the one taking the lead. Who wouldn’t be eager to watch the drama unfold from the sidelines? When Rosalie didn’t answer, Lucille became even more antagonistic. “Furthermore, Mrs. Youngblood, you faked your death to leave Strico and Mr. Youngblood back then. What was the reason for that? Someone said you left for another man, so would you care to explain yourself? Otherwise, this misunderstanding might affect your reputation.”

Seeing as how her words dripped with malice, there was no doubt Lucille was implying that Rosalie had cheated on Jonathan.

The socialites beside Lucille smiled faintly, a twinkle of curiosity in their eyes. After all, nobody knew what Rosalie had been up to in the past five years.

Rosalie stared coldly at Lucille and sneered. “Someone said that, huh? In that case, why don’t you tell me who that person is, Ms. Marsden?” Upon hearing that, Lucille instantly stiffened. Even though she had yet to introduce herself, Rosalie addressed her as “Ms. Marsden” without skipping a beat. Did that mean the latter already knew who she was?

“Of course, it’s someone else, but I can’t tell you who it is,” Lucille retorted.

“Why? Is it not convenient?” Rosalie taunted. “If you don’t come clean about who that person is, can I assume they don’t exist and that you’re the real culprit throwing dirt on my name, Ms. Marsden?”

Lucille’s expression immediately changed as she uttered anxiously, “I’ve never said anything like that. Don’t you dare slander me!”

Rosalie, however, remained unperturbed. “Weren’t you the one slandering me, Ms. Marsden? You said I left for another man and alleged that you heard it from someone else, yet you can’t tell us who that person is. Therefore, legally speaking, we can assert that the words came from you and you alone! If we were to bring this to court, you’d definitely
