The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 1210

Once, she had been the family’s illegitimate child for many years. It wasn’t until Riley’s mother passed away, and her own mother successfully climbed the social ladder, that her status as the second Miss of the

Summer family became legitimate.

Yet, even so, she was often ridiculed in high society.

It wasn’t until Riley was admitted to the psychiatric hospital that she truly gained confidence.

Harriet’s face flushed red, but she didn’t know how to retort in the moment. On hearing the words “eldest daughter of the Summer family,” Peach furrowed her brows slightly. After all, this person represented a scandal from the Griffin family’s past.

“It seems you have quite an eye. How about coming to my house with your husband some time and helping me appraise the porcelain I bought recently? Is it real or fake?” Zephyr’s voice unexpectedly cut in.

The woman who had mentioned the “eldest daughter of the Summer family” before turned slightly pale and quickly said, “I just said it casually, Mr. Scott. Please don’t take offense.”

“Some words shouldn’t be said casually,” Zephyr said coldly.

At that moment, another voice spoke up. “Well said. Some words shouldn’t be spoken lightly. Please explain to your wife.” It was Calvin who spoke.

Zephyr raised his eyes, his gaze freezing as he looked at Calvin.

Calvin’s response was nonchalant as he met Zephyr’s eyes. The two m confronted each other, and the atmosphere became tense, ready to explode.

Although Zephyr hadn’t interacted with Calvin before, it didn’t mean he didn’t know about the latter’s background. Engaging in enmity with Calvin over a few words clearly wasn’t necessary.

Zephyr first broke the icy aura around him and calmly said, “I indeed need to explain this to my wife properly to prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings on her part.”

Saying that, Zephyr looked at Rosalie. “Since my wife misspoke today, then I’ll apologize to Ms. Leighton. Someday, I’ll host a dinner and invite Ms. Leighton and Mr. Gunner.”
