The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 883

Chapter 883 

But currently, this kind of sympathy had turned into intense pain. 

When the car stopped below the apartment of the Burton family, Rosalie almost sprinted out of the car and ran toward the stairs. 

The Burton family lived in an old residential area. There was no elevator but only stairs. They lived on the fifth floor. When Rosalie reached the fifth floor, she could hear scolding and shouting from one of the apartments. 

“What do you mean he has been kidnapped? Who would kidnap an orphan? What’s the use of kidnapping that boy? You brat, are you trying to trick your father into giving you money with that kid? I can tell you, I share that money with your dad. It has nothing to do with you!” 

The soundproofing in this kind of old residential area was not good. Rosalie could hear the tart and mean voice clearly, which belonged to Jeanette, Zekiah’s current foster mother. 

“I saw someone carry Zeki into a car with my own eyes. He must have been kidnapped!” Karina’s worried voice could be heard. “If you don’t save Zeki, I will! I’ll use the money my mom left me to save Zeki! I know that my mom has left me a lot of money!”. 

“What do you mean, your mom? Your mom was already dead a long time ago!” Jeanette yelled angrily. “Even if my mom is gone, the things she left me are still here. This house belongs to my mom! If I sell it, I’ll have the money to save Zeki!” Karina shouted. 

“Damn you! You want to sell this house? Are you crazy? Even if that kid is kidnapped, our family has no money to save him. He is not related to us by blood!” 

“Who says so? Zeki is my brother!” 

“Patrick is your real brother. He’s related to you by blood. Who cares about that kid?” 

The sound of a slap in the face could be heard, and then the front door was opened. Karina ran out of the house and was stunned when she saw Rosalie. 

“M-Ms. Leighton!” Karina called out. There was an obvious red mark on one side of her cheek, which was obviously caused by the slap a moment ago. 

Jeanette’s voice came from behind. “Where the hell are you going? I’m telling you, it will be useless even if you go to your mother’s lawyer.” 

Jeanette rushed over and tried to reach out to pull Karina into the house. 

Rosalie raised her hand and shook off Jeanette’s hand, which was on Karina. She then pulled Karina behind her. “What are you going to do to her?” 

Jeanette raised her voice. “She’s my daughter. I don’t need an outsider to intervene on what I’m going to do to her. Get out of my way! I’ll teach Karina a lesson!” 

“I’m not your daughter!” Karina responded furiously. In her heart, there was only one person who was her 

mother. 

“Damn you!” Jeanette was going to beat the hell out of Karina! 

Rosalie was protecting Karina’s thin and small body. She raised her hand and directly clasped Jeanette’s hand. “You better stop! If you dare to touch her again, I will not let you off!” 

“You won’t let me off? Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, as long as her last name is Burton, I can hit her whenever I want!” Jeanette raged viciously. She straightaway countered Rosalie by twisting her hand instead. 

Rosalie’s hand was already injured before this. It became more painful when Jeanette did this to her. Seeing this, Jeanette waved her hands around more aggressively. 

Rosalie held Karina tightly in her arms. She was Zekiah’s only warmth in the Burton family. She was the one who protected Zekiah no matter what happened. Therefore, she had to protect Karina no matter what! 

However, she didn’t feel the pain she had expected. Instead, Rosalie heard Jeanette’s cry of pain. “Hand… My hand is about to break…”

Wayne happened to come out of the house when he saw a stranger clasping Jeanette’s hands tightly. Her face was turning red, and she was wailing in pain. 

“W-Who are you? Let go of my wife quickly!” Wayne shouted. 

However, the stranger who was holding both of Jeanette’s hands didn’t move at all. He ignored Wayne and just looked at another handsome man standing beside him, as if waiting for his order at any time. Of course, Wayne noticed that this handsome man was the actual boss. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit and looked elegant but cold. “Tell him to let go of my wife quickly, or I’ll call the police,” he threatened. 

“You can try calling the police.” Jonathan glanced at Wayne icily. Wayne felt terrified when he met Jonathan’s eyes. 

Rosalie didn’t expect Jonathan to arrive so soon. Instantly, her eyes turned red again. “Jon, Zeki has really been kidnapped!” 

Even though she had just heard some conversations outside the house, it was enough for her to sort things out. 

“I’ll find him!” Jonathan continued, “Are you okay? Did this woman do anything to you just now?” 

Before Rosalie could speak, Karina, who was protected by Rosalie, recounted, “My stepmother wanted to hit me just now but Ms. Leighton helped me block. My stepmother even twisted her hand.” 

Hearing Karina’s words, the surrounding air pressure became much lower in an instant, as if even the air had become icy. 

“She injured your hand.” Jonathan held Rosalie’s hand and examined her hand carefully. “Does it hurt?” “It hurt a little bit, but it’s better now,” Rosalie stated indifferently. She didn’t want Jon to feel guilty about it.
