The Ceo’s Convict Wife - Season 3 Episode 61

There was a vague speculation in her heart, but it was so ridiculous that she couldn’t believe it to be true.

Just then, Rosalie’s phone rang. Seeing it was a call from Amelia, she picked it up.

“Rosalie, Aiden will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Can you come to work the day after tomorrow? I’m thinking of cleaning the diner on the day after tomorrow and resuming business the day after,” Amelia said.

“No problem. I’m fine with that,” Rosalie replied. Speaking of which, it was rare for her to rest for such a long time after she was released from prison.

“Glad to hear that. By the way, Aiden wants to talk to you. Please spare a moment to talk to him,” Amelia said.

Rosalie was slightly stunned when she heard that. Then, she spoke on the phone. “Aiden, I’m Rosalie. Can you hear me? I’ll see you the day after tomorrow. When you understand what you hear and know how to speak, I will tell you many stories, okay?”

Even if she knew that Aiden might not understand what she was talking about, she still put hope in that.

As soon as her words fell, a tender but somewhat hoarse voice came from the other end of the line. “R- Rosalie.”

Rosalie could hardly believe what she heard and wondered, “What did I just hear? Was Aiden really calling me? In the past, even if Aiden could make a sound, it was just some meaningless babbles. But now, he’s making a sound meaningfully and even calling me.”

“Rosalie.” Amelia’s voice sounded through the phone again.

“Ms. Haab, is Aiden… talking just now? Can he speak now?” Rosalie asked in astonishment.

“Yeah, but it’s just a few words. He still needs to spend more time in training. The doctor said Aiden will learn to speak faster,” Amelia said, and her voice sounded happy and proud.

Her pride was understandable. Since Aiden had installed the cochlear implants into his ears, he had made rapid progress in language. Even the doctor said he was smart, and his language talent was evident. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t hear before, his current language ability would be far better than that of children of the same age.

“That’s wonderful!” Rosalie was happy for Amelia and Aiden.

After the call ended, Rosalie thought about getting Aiden a gift at the store to celebrate that the little one could finally hear.

When Jonathan returned at night, Rosalie asked him about the news she had read during the day, “What happened to that mall? Do you have anything to do with its sudden demolition?”

Since Rosalie was blunt in her question, Jonathan answered straightforwardly, “Yes.”

She widened her eyes in surprise. Although she already more or less had an idea, the answer still surprised her.

“What’s with that face? You should have guessed something before asking me such a question. Why do you still look so surprised?” Jonathan found it a little strange and raised his eyebrows.

After a while, Rosalie gulped and asked in puzzlement, “Are you the one who asked the Hamilton family to demolish the mall?”

“Yes,” he replied indifferently.

“Just because…” Her voice trembled slightly. After a while, she continued, “Just because the Hamilton family kicked me out of the mall that day?”

“Yes,” he continued to respond. His plain tone sounded like it was a normal thing to him.

Rosalie looked at the man in front of her blankly. She had only heard about how strong Jonathan’s influence was in Strico, and now it seemed to have become a more specific impression to her.

However, it was a demolition of a giant mall. Even if it were Jonathan, he should have used a lot of tricks to make the Hamilton family demolish the mall obediently.

And the reason for all that was merely because the Hamilton family had humiliated her in the mall the other day.

Initially, she thought he had already vented anger for her by fighting back when the Hamilton family showed up to apologize. Little did he expect he would do up to that extent.

“Why?” Rosalie murmured. Somehow, she felt her nose sting.

“Because it’s you,” he replied. Those simple words seemed to contain a message more than a thousand words could express.

Because it was her, he had made it that far.

Because he had been protecting her and couldn’t even afford to hurt her himself, there was no way he could let others hurt her.

“Besides, it’s a good way to make the Hamilton family understand the situation and not do anything wrong to you again,” Jonathan added.

Rosalie smiled bitterly. “Maybe they will only believe that it’s not my fault when I turn over the case. In fact, it was someone else who harmed their daughter.”

She could tell that someone was behind the accident. At first, she thought Melanie’s improper driving was the reason for the car accident. But later, the witnesses’ confessions and physical evidence were all directed at her. It made her feel that someone had secretly manipulated it.

Needless to say, there was also another possibility. Perhaps the Hamilton family thought she had killed their daughter, but the evidence at that time could not convict her, so they bribed witnesses and created evidence.

However, all that was only her speculation, and she still had no way to prove it. The only witness she had found did not provide any good clues either.

“I will give you justice,” Jonathan said in a low voice as he gazed down.

Rosalie smiled and became relaxed. Well, she was not alone now. Jonathan was helping her, and Lillian also asked Callum to help her.

She thought she would be able to turn over the case.

“By the way, I want you to accompany me to a banquet tomorrow,” Jonathan suddenly said.

Rosalie was stunned by his words. “Me?”

“Otherwise, who else? Aren’t you my girlfriend now? Isn’t it normal for my girlfriend to accompany me to the banquet?”

Even though that was true, Rosalie somehow felt uneasy.

She thought, “I’m afraid there may be many public figures at the banquet Jonathan is attending. Back then, I also accompanied Zachary to some banquets and met many public figures in Strico. If I attend the banquet with Jonathan now, many people will recognize me. They know about my past as well as I had been in jail. I’m afraid there will be a lot of criticism again when they see Jonathan being with me.”
