The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 1209

Of course, Rosalie had conducted an investigation beforehand, so she purposely brought up topics like careers, balancing family life after marriage, and raising children to have more common ground with Peach.

Just then, a voice cut through the air. “Why are you talking so much? Are those words true or false? Who are you really? Why did you come to this banquet and get close to Peach? What’s your motive?”

Rosalie turned her head and found that the source of the voice was Harriet.

Jealousy flickered in Harriet’s eyes. Rosalie’s luxurious attire obviously cost a fortune.

“They’re most likely obtained through connections!” Harriet thought to herself. She remembered this woman; she was one of the three people who barged into Riley’s ward that day.

“Motive?” Peach and the noblewomen beside them were shocked.

“That’s right.” Harriet approached Peach.

Back then, the incident between Riley and Nicholas had been buried by all three families. Although Harriet was Riley’s sister, in the business world, there were no permanent enemies. Moreover, she was now the lady of the Scott family, so she maintained regular social interactions with the Griffin family. She often exchanged pleasantries with Peach at various banquets.

The moment Harriet saw Rosalie and Peach chatting, her first thought was Riley.

Rosalie must have approached Peach to find out about Riley’s affairs. The thought caused panic to surge within Harriet.

The events of that year must not be brought up again. Otherwise, Harriet wasn’t sure what trouble might arise.

Rosalie smiled faintly, “Oh? I wonder what motive you think I have?”

Harriet narrowed her eyes. She couldn’t mention in public that she saw Rosalie in the psychiatric hospital. Thus, she said, “The way you’re dressed today makes you seem like a wealthy woman. But, I don’t know your background-you don’t look like a local from Lommore. That outfit probably costs a lot of money. If you spent so much just to attend this party, surely you have a motive. If not, why are you here?”

Harriet’s questions were clearly meant to embarrass Rosalie.
