The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 1149

“No need. I want to see him and find out why he came for me,” Amelia said.

She requested that the nurse allow Ryan into the ward.

When Ryan entered, he appeared nothing like the confident and assertive man Amelia had known. His appearance was worn, and his suit was wrinkled.

An uneasy look crossed Ryan’s face as he spoke. “Mr. and Mrs. York, I want you to know that Alicia’s actions had nothing to do with the Golding family. I was completely unaware of her plans from start to finish, and I had no part in them. It was all her own idea. Moreover, I had already broken up with her before the attack took place. You can verify this.”

Amelia retorted, “I don’t understand why you’re telling us all this, Mr. Golding. If you’re concerned about being implicated, it’s the police you should be speaking to, not us.”

Inwardly, Ryan held his own grievances. The reason he hadn’t been detained by the police was that he had no involvement in the case.

Despite his innocence, the entire business world was aware of his connection with Alicia. Now that she had been apprehended, albeit without much media attention, the Strico business community knew about it.

In recent days, business associates had begun distancing themselves from him, convinced he’d suffer like the Yustone family due to his perceived offense against Warren.

The mere thought of what had befallen Jasper and the Yustone family sent shivers down Ryan’s spine.

“My business is greatly affected because of Alicia,” Ryan pleaded, almost falling to his knees. “Everyone claims I’ve offended the York family, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for me to conduct business. Please, Mr. York, Mrs. York, could you clarify this matter? I… I swear I’m innocent.”

Warren responded in a hoarse voice, “If you weren’t involved, the York family wouldn’t pursue you.”
