The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 

Just at that moment, Luke’s impatient voice buzzed through the phone, “Why didn’t you ask Rosalie to withdraw the case at the police station so that Daniel and the rest could be released?” 

*Release? What release? It was their own wrongdoings, and they should stay there as long as they deserve!” 

“They are your children, your daughter and son. Is it necessary to do this for an outsider?” 

“What outsider? She is my granddaughter! Since her mother isn’t here, this old lady is here to support her!” 

“Are you planning to have no one take care of you. to jail, to support you in the future?” 

your old age? Or are you relying on your granddaughter, who has been 

The two elders argued vehemently, seemingly forgetting that the phone call was still ongoing. After a while, Wilma finally realized the call was still connected. “Rosalie, are you there?” she asked. 

“I’m here,” Rosalie replied. 

“I’m glad to know that you are fine. Your uncles, aunts, and cousins have all been blinded by greed, and the things they did. were unethical. You don’t need to withdraw the case. They should stay in jail as long as they deserve!” Wilma said in a resolute tone before ending the call. 

Rosalie held her phone and couldn’t help crying. She thought that Wilma had called her to ask her not to pursue the matter further and to let Daniel. Edward, and Sarah go. 

She never expected Wilma would offer her unwavering support! 

It was just like when she was a child and her father had left her at Wilma’s house. When she was bullied by other kids in town and cried, Wilma would hold her hand and take her to confront the bullies 

Wilma would often comfort her. Don’t cry, Rosalie. I’ll stand by your side. We shouldn’t bully others, but we can’t let others bully us either!” 

Wilma would argue with others on her behalf. If reasoning with the others didn’t work, she would even roll up her sleeves and act like a shrew. 

Such a sight of Wilma was cute in her eyes. In the eyes of others, Rosalie was perceived as a liability following her mother’s loss and her father’s remarriage. 

But in Wilma’s eyes, she was a precious treasure. 

Wilma would also often tell her that she could enjoy her life when Rosalie grew up. However, when she did grow up and could have given Wilma an enjoyable life, she ended up in jail. 

At first, hearing about her imprisonment, Wilma fell critically ill and had just recently recovered her health. 

Wilma knew that by standing on Rosalie’s side, she would be opposing Luke and likely causing a fallout in the family. She might even find it unbearable to stay in that house. Nevertheless, Wilma still chose to stand by Rosalie’s side. 

Tears continuously rolled down Rosalie’s cheeks, werting her hands and the bedsheets. 

When Jonathan walked into the ward, he saw Rosalie hugging her phone and crying inconsolably. 

He frowned and quickly walked to her bedside. He held her face and asked, “Rosie, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” 

She looked at him through teary eyes and shook her head. 

But her response only deepened his concern. “Rosie, what’s going on? Why are you crying like this? Tell me, no matter what it is, I can help you.” 

He wiped away her tears with his fingers, and when his fingertips touched her tears, they felt like they were burning. 

Her tears were so scorching. 

Her tears always seemed to leave him feeling helpless. As long as he could stop her tears, he would do everything for her. 

“Waah!” Rosalie threw herself into Jonathan’s arms and cried out loud. 

She couldn’t quite put into words why she had acted this way at that moment. It felt as though, in his embrace, she no longer had to hold back her pain and could release it without any restriction 

Jonathan looked down at the sobbing woman in his arms. He gently held her, letting her cry to her heart’s content. 

Rosalie didn’t even know how long she cried. She cried until she felt like she couldn’t cry anymore. 

Jonathan took some tissues and gently wiped the remaining tears from her face. “Can you tell me what happened now?” 

“It Granny,” she sniffed. 

“Is she trying to plead with you?” he asked with a slightly darkened expression. 

“No. Granny just asked if I was okay and told me not to worry about Uncle Daniel and the others. She said they should stay in jail as long as they deserve.” Rosalie replied with a heavy nasal voice. 

Jonathan looked somewhat surprised. “She seemed like a nice person.” 

“She has always been good to me.” Rosalie murmured. She just hadn’t realized the extent of Wilma’s kindness until she saw her willingness to stand against the entire family for her sake. 

“What about you? Do you intend to forgive your relatives?” Jonathan asked.
