The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 204

Chapter 204 This remark immediately infuriated Gordon. Just as he was about to question Harper again, Harper had already hung up the phone. “What’s going on? Did something happen to the urn?” Caitlin hurriedly asked her husband. “Harper said someone went there late last night and took the urn!” Gordon said. “They took it? Then what about our 10 million dollars? Without that urn, she won’t give us the money,” Caitlin was getting anxious now. Suddenly, she thought of a possibility. “By the way, do you think that brat was the one who sent someone to take the urn?” Gordon frowned and picked up his phone to call Rosalie. After a while, Rosalie answered, “What is it?” “Rosalie, I’ve thought it over. After all, we’re family, and blood is thicker than water. If you can’t come up with the full 10 million dollars immediately, you can start by giving half. I’ll tell you where your mother is buried. You and Jonathan are quite close these days, right? This money shouldn’t be a problem for him,” Gordon said, trying to bluff again. This way, he could still get half of the money if his daughter didn’t take the urn last night. He planned to buy another urn and fill it with fake ashes later to deceive them. However, he failed to notice the ice-cold expression on Rosalie’s face at the other end of the phone. Gordon was her father, yet now he wanted to use her mother’s ashes to get money. It seemed like he would stop at nothing for personal gain, even exploiting his wife’s death. “Forget it. I got my mother’s ashes yesterday, and I’ve already laid her to rest,” Rosalie replied./ Hearing this, Gordon became furious. “Oh, so it really was you. What right do you have to barge into the house I rented, take your mother’s ashes, and bury her without my consent? I’m your mother’s husband. Where can you bury her without my approval?” “So you’re aware that you are her husband. I don’t think my mom would acknowledge you as her husband if she were alive,” Rosalie retorted coldly. “You… Is this how you speak to your own father? You’d better tell me where you buried your motherNôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

now, or I’ll get a lawyer to sue you. Even Jonathan can’t protect you. Don’t think that just because you’re with Jonathan now, he really cares about you. He’s just playing with you. Unlike Loretta, she is Calvin’s real girlfriend…” Yet before Gordon could finish his words, another voice interrupted him. “Oh? Why don’t you give it a try and see if I can protect her? How about that?” The icy male voice left Gordon nearly choking on his own saliva, and his phone nearly slipped from his hand. Was that… Jonathan’s voice? Was Jonathan right next to his eldest daughter? Did he overhear their entire conversation? “Well… I…” Gordon’s words were cut off as the call on the other end was abruptly ended. Gordon could only stare at his phone in frustration. “What’s going on?” Caitlin asked hurriedly. She didn’t hear Jonathan’s words because Gordon’s phone was not on speaker. “What else could it be? Now that Jonathan is protecting her, that girl has really grown bold!” Gordon said bitterly. His eldest daughter had a strong backer, but he couldn’t gain anything from it. That was what frustrated him the most. If Gordon had known that his daughter had such capabilities, he would have treated her better from the beginning, but now it was too late for regrets. Hearing her husband’s words, Caitlin couldn’t help but sarcastically remark, “She’s someone who’s been to prison. How did she catch Jonathan’s eye? And she’s the one who accidentally killed Jonathan’s fiancée!” “How am I supposed to know that?” Gordon said angrily. “Well, no matter what, I doubt it’s a respectable relationship.” Caitlin continued, “Unlike our Loretta. She’s in a legitimate relationship and has a chance to marry into the Gunner family. She also paid for our trip this time!” Gordon’s mood improved as he thought of Loretta. Now, all his hopes were pinned on their younger daughter. On the other hand, Jonathan returned his phone to Rosalie. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

“What kind of outcome do you hope for your father?” He asked with a smile, but she understood the underlying threat in his gaze. Instantly, Rosalie understood that whatever kind of fate she wished for her father at this moment, Jonathan would likely fulfill it, �་བ་ འངལ་ Chapter 204 However, Rosalie said, “It’s fine. Cutting ties with him like this is enough.” Her father’s actions had only erased the last traces of affection she had for him. She had once thought that her father had at least a bit of lingering sentiment for her mother. After all, her parents had fallen in love and married freely back then, and her mother had married him when he was at his lowest point. But now she realized that it was nothing more than her wishful thinking. It turned out that the most terrifying thing was time. Even though they used to love each other, after so many years, it had all vanished. Jonathan frowned unconsciously. Rosalie stood before him, her eyes lowered, her serene face carrying a hint of mockery and sadness. It was as if something was slipping away from within her, and he couldn’t grasp it, no matter how hard he tried. Almost instinctively, he tightly embraced her, as if trying to hold on to her. Now that she was finally getting closer to him, he didn’t want to let her go. Rosalie was momentarily stunned. She felt herself being enveloped in a wide embrace. His hands tightened around her body, making it almost difficult for her to breathe. “Jonathan…” she couldn’t help calling out. Her voice made him tremble. He slightly loosened his hold on her but maintained the embrace. He didn’t let her go. “Call me Jon. I like hearing you call me Jon,” he murmured. His clear voice, tinged with a hint of h oarseness, pierced her eardrums and reached deep into her heart. She pursed her lips and hesitated, but eventually, she softly called out, “Jon.” A smile tugged at the corner of Jonathan’s lips. “That sounds lovely.”

She looked at the smile on his face in a daze. It was as if a simple call from her had brought him happiness and contentment. 2/2 Send Gift Comment
