The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576 

When they got to the car, Calvin put her in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. Then he went back to the driver’s seat and started the car. 

The car drove toward Rosalie’s rented home. On the way, Calvin also stopped to buy an ointment for a bruise. 

“In fact, there’s no need for any ointment. It’s just a couple of scratches, and they will disappear in two days. It’s a trivial matter,” Rosalie said. 

“Nothing about you is trivial to me,” he said. As if afraid she wouldn’t apply the ointment, he parked his car on the side of the road and then held her scratched arm to help her apply the ointment. 

“I… I’ll do it myself!” She quickly took the ointment from his hand, opened the lid, dipped her fingers in some of the ointment, and then applied it to the bruises. 

The cool ointment slowly soaked into the skin. 

There were actually very few bruises, and Rosalie finished applying the ointment in no time. Just as she closed the lid, Calvin spoke, “If the one who hurt you is Fiona, I will also seek justice for you.” 

Rosalie looked at Calvin in surprise. “You…” 

Calvin continued, “Fiona was my savior when I was a child. She is indeed very important to me, and I hope this matter has nothing to do with her. But that doesn’t mean I don’t know right from wrong. Besides, you’re the person I want to cherish the most. No matter what happens, I don’t want you to be wronged.” 

Suddenly, Rosalie’s heart was moved. His voice was plain and indifferent, but it made her feel as if she would feel comfortable and warm when she heard what he said. 

When the car started again, Rosalie stared at the ointment in her hand, lost in thought. 

In the meantime, Fiona was terrified. Joseph was taken to the hospital for treatment, while Calvin accompanied Rosalie to the police station to give a statement. 

Compared to the embarrassment of her past photos being exposed, Fiona was more afraid of people discovering her plot against Rosalie. 

“It should be okay!” she thought. 

The incident with Joseph being drugged shouldn’t be traced back to her. At that time, she had bribed a cleaner to help her lock the door of the lounge and unlock it quietly. As long as the cleaner didn’t say anything, that matter wouldn’t fall on her. 

Moreover, everyone saw her photos in that incident. She was also a victim. 

But even so, Fiona came to Calvin’s residence and waited for him at night. When he came back and walked into the living room, she immediately stood up and said with a worried look, “Calvin, how is Rosalie? Is she okay?” 

Calvin’s gaze fell lightly on Fiona as he asked directly, “Does today’s incident have anything to do with you?” 

Fiona was stunned, feeling as if all her thoughts were exposed under his sharp eyes. 

“L.. I know it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have made Rosalie wait for me in the lounge, but I really don’t know why Joseph acted the way he did!” Fiona looked sad and reproachful. 

“Today… Joseph said he would come to me and give me something, so I asked him to wait for me in the lounge. Later, Rosalie came to see me, so I also asked her to wait for me in the lounge. I thought they knew each other anyway, so it wouldn’t be too awkward for them to meet in the lounge, but…” 

Fiona sobbed as she spoke. “Is it true that Joseph was really drugged? Is someone trying to frame me? If… if Rosalie hadn’t come to find me today, I would have been the one to enter the lounge, and I might have been in danger. Rosalie… replaced me in such a situation. Fortunately, she wasn’t hurt by Joseph… Otherwise, I would really regret it!” 

As she delivered her well-prepared statement, Fiona portrayed herself as a victim. 

By presenting herself as the victim, the incident involving Rosalie would have nothing to do with her and would be considered only Rosalie’s own misfortune. 

“What you just told me is true?” Calvin stared at the person in front of hi 

questions 

“Of course,” Fiona hurriedly replied. “Why would I have any reason to lie to you, Calvin? Do you know? The more I think about it, the more scared I become. If it was me who entered the lounge at that time, and if I wasn’t as smart as Rosalie, I would definitely… become the scandal of the entire Strico, and everyone would laugh at me!” 

As she said that, she wanted to jump into his arms and seek comfort. 

But Calvin pushed Fiona right out of his arms. “Fiona, I’ve said it before. I see you only as my childhood savior. So please refrain from inappropriate actions and avoid saying things that might mislead others.” 

When Fiona heard that, her expression immediately changed, and she bit her lower lip tightly. 

“I also hope that everything you said today is true. The police have already begun their investigation. It won’t be long before we get some results,” Calvin added. 

Fiona smiled reluctantly. “Yeah, I hope… we can get a result soon. Then I’ll know who’s trying to harm me!” 

However, her heart was pounding uncontrollably as if it was about to jump out of her throat. A sense of fear surged from the depths of her heart.
