The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 801

Chapter 801 

After all, only by knowing one’s enemies would one be able to win battles against them. 

Meanwhile, several socialites from Strico followed behind Lucille, many of whom were interested in Jonathan. Of course, it was clear they were there for the show, especially since Lucille was the one taking the lead. Who wouldn’t be eager to watch the drama unfold from the sidelines? When Rosalie didn’t answer, Lucille became even more antagonistic. “Furthermore, Mrs. Youngblood, you faked your death to leave Strico and Mr. Youngblood back then. What was the reason for that? Someone said you left for another man, so would you care to explain yourself? Otherwise, this misunderstanding might affect your reputation.” 

Seeing as how her words dripped with malice, there was no doubt Lucille was implying that Rosalie had cheated on Jonathan. 

The socialites beside Lucille smiled faintly, a twinkle of curiosity in their eyes. After all, nobody knew what Rosalie had been up to in the past five years. 

Rosalie stared coldly at Lucille and sneered. “Someone said that, huh? In that case, why don’t you tell me who that person is, Ms. Marsden?” Upon hearing that, Lucille instantly stiffened. Even though she had yet to introduce herself, Rosalie addressed her as “Ms. Marsden” without skipping a beat. Did that mean the latter already knew who she was? 

“Of course, it’s someone else, but I can’t tell you who it is,” Lucille retorted. 

“Why? Is it not convenient?” Rosalie taunted. “If you don’t come clean about who that person is, can I assume they don’t exist and that you’re the real culprit throwing dirt on my name, Ms. Marsden?” 

Lucille’s expression immediately changed as she uttered anxiously, “I’ve never said anything like that. Don’t you dare slander me!” 

Rosalie, however, remained unperturbed. “Weren’t you the one slandering me, Ms. Marsden? You said I left for another man and alleged that you heard it from someone else, yet you can’t tell us who that person is. Therefore, legally speaking, we can assert that the words came from you and you alone! If we were to bring this to court, you’d definitely 

lose!”

The next second, Lucille’s gaze darkened. She had initially wanted to embarrass Rosalie and thought her scathing attack would give her the upper hand. Alas, who knew Rosalie would stand her ground and escalate the matter? 

“I… I don’t remember who said that! Must you be so aggressive, Mrs. Youngblood?” 

“Sorry, but am I supposed to stay quiet and meek if someone’s dragging my name through the mud?” Rosalie replied, a look of amusement on her face. 

By then, Lucille was as red as a tomato, and none of the people with her dared to speak up for her. 

Everyone could tell that Rosalie wasn’t the kind of person to be trifled with. Not only was she unaffected by Lucille’s remarks, but she also turned the situation around and dealt a devastating blow to the latter. 

“You… Why should you be afraid of explaining yourself if you haven’t done anything shameful? I can’t believe you even talked about filing a lawsuit. If that’s not a sign of guilt, I don’t know what it is,” Lucille blurted 

out. 

However, as soon as she said that, she felt the color drain from her face. She had undeniably made her stance and opinions known, and to make matters worse, she even claimed that Rosalie’s actions were shameful. 

“If someone were to spread what I had just said, there’d be dire consequences tomorrow…” Lucille thought, a chill running down her spine. Just as she was about to say something to salvage the situation, another voice rang out. 

“Who gave you the right to question my wife?” 

Shocked, Lucille promptly turned around and came face to face with Jonathan. In that instant, all she could think of was that she was done for. 

“Have you finished your discussion?” Rosalie asked as she looked at Jonathan. 

“Yes,” the man replied before stepping forward. “What’s wrong? Is someone giving you trouble?” 

Rosalie curled her lips into a smile. “Oh, it’s nothing much, but Ms. Marsden probably doesn’t know I’m a lawyer. Since she wants to slander me, I have every right to pursue legal action. I suppose it’s only a matter of time before I sue her.”

Jonathan raised his eyebrows slightly. From the looks of it, his wife was tougher than he imagined. 

He had thought if someone dared humiliate her at the banquet, he’d naturally jump out and protect her. 

However, it was now evident that anyone who had the cheek to embarrass Rosalie would only get the tables turned on them! 

“Mr. Youngblood, please don’t get me wrong,” Lucille hurriedly explained, “I… I have no intention to slander Mrs. Youngblood. I was merely worried that others might misunderstand her, so I wanted her to share what she had done in the last five years after leaving Strico.” 

“Misunderstand?” Jonathan muttered as he glared at Lucille. “Who would ́ misunderstand her? I urge those people to step forward now.” 

Needless to say, no one in their right mind would do that!
