The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 

Rosalie hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. She didn’t want to embarrass the butler. 

After that, Rosalie asked the driver to take her to a shopping mall downtown. 

Rosalie wanted to buy something that would be suitable for elderly people to use on a regular basis. Since the mall’s basement had a food hall, she decided to head there first. 

After checking out the pastries, Rosalie selected some that were suitable for, the elderly, as well as those who had high blood sugar. Even though they were a little expensive, Rosalie was reminded that Wilma’s blood sugar would sometimes exceed the usual limit. In the end, she decided to purchase the pastry. 

Having paid the bill, she took the escalator while carrying the pastries. 

As soon as Rosalie reached the second floor, a figure suddenly rushed toward her. Before she could see who the person was, she was slapped hard in the face. 

The slap made Rosalie stumble and almost fall to the ground. She managed to stabilize herself, but the pastry box in her hand fell to the ground. 

“And here I thought it’d be someone else. Turns out that it’s really you, the troublemaker! So you’re out and about now? And you’re actually shopping at the mall?” The scolding and curses rang in Rosalie’s ears. 

In a slight daze, Rosalie covered her cheek and looked at the angry lady in front of her. 

“This face… I remember her!” Rosalie thought to herself. 

Back then, when Rosalie was in court, that woman had run toward her and slapped her fiercely a few times, causing her to bleed from the corners of her mouth. It took a few days for the swelling to reduce from her face. 

Even though the judicial police were standing beside her, they didn’t stop the woman from hitting her, as if they deliberately set aside time for the woman to hit her. 

This woman was Melanie’s mother, Sandra Hamilton. 

Rosalie didn’t dare think about the reason behind it. Was it because the other party was the Hamilton family? As for Rosalie, she had no background and was a forsaken soul kicked away by the Xanthos family. 

Now, even after being released from prison, the woman had slapped her hard in front of her. Then, as if the first slap wasn’t enough, the woman’s other hand wanted to strike her again. 

In an almost subconscious move, Rosalie raised her arm and grabbed the other party’s hand. 

“I didn’t harm anyone!” Rosalie stared at her coldly, 

“The court has found you guilty. How dare you say that you haven’t hurt anyone? It’s only been three years. Hah! You’ve only been in jail for three years. In my opinion, you should spend your whole life in prison instead!” Sandra said angrily as she raised another hand, wanting to hit Rosalie again. 

Rosalie was only able to block the woman’s attack with her other hand. “Surely there are unjust and wrongly convicted cases in the court! Listen, I don’t owe you anything, and you have no right to hit me!”. 

“Rights?” Another middle-aged man’s voice interrupted them. “People like you do not have the right to speak about rights.” 

Rosalie froze and looked up at the man who came over. It was Melanie’s father, Howard. 

If Jonathan had a part in her nightmare in prison, Howard played a role in it as well. 

At this moment, there were several security guards beside Howard. 

Howard said to them coldly, “Go help Mrs. Hamilton, and don’t let this crazy woman hit her.” 

Those bodyguards hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Rosalie and Sandra apart. 

“Honestly, aren’t you afraid of being a joke in such a place?” Howard said. 

Sandra replied furiously, “It’s all because I got so mad seeing her. Tell me, is she even aware of what she’s saying? In spite of the fact that she caused Melanie’s death, she claimed that she hadn’t hurt anyone!” 

Howard stared at Rosalie with his sharp eyes. “You’re out. However, whether you were wrongly convicted is a matter for the court. But when you talk about rights…” 

Howard’s gaze was filled with disdain, as though he was looking at an ant that he could trample to death. “I really don’t think you deserve to be talking about rights in front of me.” 

Then he said to the security guard beside him, “Get this woman out of here and distribute her photos to the mall’s security guards and manager. This woman is not allowed to enter this mall again in the future.” 

The security guards responded, and then they were about to throw Rosalie out immediately. 

“M-My things are still on the ground.” Rosalie had already realized that if the other party could say such a thing, it would mean that the Hamilton family owned the mall, or was one of its biggest shareholders. Hence, they were able to instruct the security guards. 

At that moment, she simply wanted to pick up the box with pastries on the ground and leave. 

To her surprise, Howard said directly to another security guard, “Throw this garbage into the trash can. It’s an eyesore.” 

The security guard picked up the box of pastries on the ground and threw them into the trash can next to him. 

Rosalie’s face suddenly turned red. This was nothing short of a blatant humiliation. What was more, the other party had deliberately chosen to humiliate her in public. 

But what was even more unfortunate was that she didn’t have the strength to fight back right now. She could only be escorted out of the mall like a troublemaker.
