The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1247
Some of them were speculating that she would probably return to Zephyr’s arms.
[Nicholas is dead, while Riley has lost everything now. Who else but Zephyr can she rely on to protect her?]
After that comment, someone else added to it. [Riley was good-looking back then, but now... she’s no different from a disabled
person after a finger. Zephyr can have any woman he wants, so why would he take Riley back?

Besides, it would be funny if Riley were to throw herself into Zephyr’s arms. The fiancée from back then is now willing to become
a mistress, while the illegitimate daughter of a mistress has now become the legally recognized wife!]
[Harriet has born a son for Zephyr. There’s no way Riley can threaten her position now.]
Looking at these comments, Riley simply felt amused.
She had never thought of going back to Zephyr again.
“How could these people think that a person who was hurt so deeply would go back to the one who abandoned her when she
needed help most?
If I was abandoned once, there would certainly be a second and third time.”
She didn’t want to be the one abandoned anymore.
Her love for Zephyr had long dissipated, and hatred was all that was left.
After a while, the door was pushed open. A bodyguard of about 30 years of age walked up to Riley and said, “Ms. Summer, Mrs.
Youngblood is on her way. She will arrive in a few minutes. Let’s head to the hospital entrance first. When she arrives later, we
can leave right away.”
“Okay.” Riley nodded.
The bodyguards took the initiative to help Riley carry her luggage.

In addition to that particular bodyguard, Riley realized that more than 20 bodyguards waiting outside her ward to escort her to the
hospital

entrance.
“Well, I’m just going to the hospital entrance. I don’t think I need so many people to accompany me there.” Riley said, cognizant
that all of them won’t be able to fit into the elevator for a single trip.
“Mrs. Youngblood insists, as the hospital entrance is currently chaotic,” the bodyguards said.
“Chaotic? Are there a lot of reporters outside?” Riley mused.
When Riley arrived at the hospital entrance, she found that there were not only reporters but also members of the Summer
family.
At that moment, Peter Summer, the man whom Riley was supposed to greet as her father was talking about how much he loved
Riley and how happy he was that Riley had finally become a normal person after years of treatment in the hospital. Peter also
said that he would take Riley home and take good care of her. After all, she had been committing self-abuse due to her mental
illness over the years, a fact that distressed Peter. Now that Riley had recovered, Peter believed that her self-abuse would be a
thing of the past.
Right then, Riley couldn’t stand it anymore.

Riley had always been hypocritical toward her natural mother. Back then, Peter even commanded the housekeepers at home,
“Riley is mentally sick. Tie her up. I’ll be taking her to the hospital for treatment!”
Riley struggled desperately and kept shouting, “I’m not sick. I’m n mentally ill. I am a normal person!”
However, Peter said coldly, “Mentally sick people usually deny tha are sick. You’re really sick in the head!”
Hearing Peter’s words made Riley feel as if she had been thrown int depths of hell.
Riley had always known that Peter didn’t love her. On the contrary, Pe hated Riley, but she did not expect that he could be so evil
to commit such an act.
At that moment, as soon as Peter saw Riley coming over, he immediately put on a fatherly expression. “Riley, you’re finally out. I
was about to go in and pick you up. I’m glad that your illness is cured. Our efforts to get you treated all these years have not
gone to waste. Come, let’s go back. Your mother always had someone clean your room every day while you

were not at home all these years, hoping that you be home as soon as possible.”
“My mother?” Riley sneered, “She passed away when I was three years old. Since when did she get resurrected?”
Riley’s words immediately made the atmosphere at the scene awkward.

The smile on Peter’s face also froze. If it had been in the past, Peter would have slapped Riley, but there were so many reporters
around that he was forced to continue his charade.
“Your biological mother died when you were three years old, but your stepmother Larissa treats you like her own daughter. Over
the years, Larissa has been worried about you and often shed tears for you.”
Meanwhile, Larissa hurriedly stepped forward and said with teary eyes, “Riley, you have suffered. I will love you more in the
future. When I married into the Summer family, I already regarded you as my own daughter.”
The smile on Riley’s face became more and more sardonic. “It turns out that you wanted to take all my mother had, even her
husband and me?”
Larissa’s expression froze, her face alternating between anger and embarrassment.
At that moment, the smile on Peter’s face finally disappeared. “What are you talking about, Riley? Is this how you talk to Larissa
who has worke hard to raise you?”
Larissa lowered her head and sobbed as if she had been
incomprehensibly wronged.
At this moment, it seemed that the other members of the Summer family were all innocent while Riley was the guilty one.
The reporters on the spot captured the scene with their cameras.
Harriet was secretly feeling smug. She didn’t expect that Riley would react that way.
“The tide of the trending topics would soon be reversed,” Harriet thought.
“Riley, how can you think that? Actually... Mom and Dad loved each other back then but were separated by a myriad of
incidents. Later on, when Mom found out Dad already had a family, she kept a distance from Dad

till his first wife died. Mom sympathized with you. That’s why she loved you as her own on the account of your late mother.”
Harriet’s remarks were obviously aimed at rebutting the attacks on the internet, which accused Larissa of being a mistress.
“Really? Larissa never looked like she was holding back to me. If she did, she wouldn’t be sleeping with Peter while he was still
married to my mother. Otherwise, our age would be more than two years apart,” Riley retorted.
Harriet’s expression changed slightly, but she still kept calm. “Riley, no matter what, we are a family. We’re here to pick you up.
Over the years, our family has suffered a lot on account of your illness. Before this, the doctor said that you don’t know what
you’re doing whenever your illness acts up. That’s why you harbor so many misunderstandings about us. But don’t you worry, I’ll
clarify them with you one by one.”
While speaking, Harriet stepped forward and tried to hold Riley but was stopped by the bodyguards beside Riley.
Filled with dissatisfaction, Harriet said, “Riley, why do you trust outsiders over your own family? Can it be that someone is trying
to use you to act against the Summer family?’
