The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 567
But Rosalie still planned to keep it from Calvin, so Lillian couldn’t tell him the truth even if she wanted to.
Rosalie just smiled. At that moment, Lillian’s WhatsApp notification tone sounded. It was a message from Callum. Upon glancing
at the message, Lillian saw that Callum was asking when she would go to his place.
Rosalie also glanced at the message and said, “Callum is waiting for you. You can head on over to his place first. We can always
find time to catch up.”
“Okay, remember to call me if you need anything. Don’t try to shoulder everything on your own.” Lillian was a little worried.
“Okay, I will!” Rosalie smiled. Only when she faced Lillian could she really relax and show her true expression.
That was because she knew Lillian would side with her no matter what.
When Lillian left Rosalie’s house, she suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted. She didn’t know whether it was good or bad for them to
continue on like this.
Rosalie had just left Jonathan, only to have Calvin enter her life shortly after.
However, she still didn’t love Calvin and did not want to accept him.
utual affection and trust.
It seemed that it was a kind of blessing to get into a relationship built upon
Lillian also felt more and more lucky. Although she was a little upset with Callum at the beginning, things were finally starting to
go well.
She drove to Callum’s mansion. As soon as she walked in, she saw that Callum was talking to someone on the phone. When he
spoke, his expression was serious and a harsh look flashed on his face. That was something/she had never seen before.
When he saw her come in, however, his gaze instantly went back to being the gentle one she was familiar with.
Lillian felt warm in her heart. She put down her purse and sat on the couch beside him. Then she cupped her cheeks and silently
watched Callum talk on the phone.

Although Callum didn’t put the call on speaker, Lillian could tell that he was talking to the female head of the White family.
That was because Callum called her “Auntie” on the phone. Although his tone sounded gentle as usual, there was still a hint of
coldness on his face from time to time.
After the call, Callum put away his phone and looked at Lillian. “How was your talk with Rosalie? Is she okay?”
“She appears to be fine, but in reality...” Lillian sighed as she continued, “I don’t know how Rosalie is really doing.”
As she spoke, she took the initiative to raise her hand and hugged Callum. She buried her face deeply in his arms and said, “I
think my love life is a lot smoother than that of Lillian’s. I’m so lucky to have met you.”
Callum lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. “I’m the lucky one.”
“We’re both lucky, then. By the way, were you talking to the White family just now?” Lillian said.
“Yeah,” he replied.
“Did you have an unpleasant conversation?” She was curious.
He smiled faintly. “How could I possibly have a nice conversation with her? In the White family, she probably wants me dead the
most.”
Lillian thought, “That makes sense. Callum is now in control of the White family, so it’s only natural that the first branch would be
angry.”
“The Josephine you saw today is from the White family. I wanted to take advantage of the marriage between the White family
and the Harris family to help them regain control over the White family,” Callum continued.
Lillian blinked. “But if they want to use the Tall family against you, then shouldn’t you have Josephine marry your two -half-
brothers?”
“That’s why I said Josephine is just an abandoned child,” Callum replied.
“Abandoned child?” Lillian was confused. “Isn’t Josephine the eldest daughter of the Tall family?”
“She is the eldest daughter of the Tall family. However, she was just a child whom they had wrongly claimed. Now, the Tall family
has found the real child they should have claimed back then, but it has not been announced to the public yet. Even Josephine

herself doesn’t know.”
Lillian’s eyes widened immediately as she thought, “What? This sounds like something you’d see in a cringey drama series!”
“For the Tall family, their biological daughter is the most important thing. As for Josephine, since she is not their biological
daughter, she is just an abandoned child whom they can use as a tool. They thought that if they married Josephine to me, I
would think that the Tall family and I are on the same side. At that time, the White family would retaliate and drain me of
everything. That way, the White family will naturally belong to the first branch,” Callum continued.
Lillian felt that her IQ was not high enough for such complex family politics.
“But how do you know that Josephine is not the biological daughter of the Tall family?” Lillian asked.
“Of course, I found out about it by conducting some investigations. How would I be able to control the White family if I can’t even
do that much?” Callum responded with a confident smile.
Lillian couldn’t help but feel that he looked amazing when he was confident, which made her have the urge to be obsessed with
him again.
“But it seems that you have become their target now,” Callum said. The fact that Josephine found Lillian that day was a sign.
Lillian was stunned. “Well... What should we do now? Pretend to be in conflict and break up?”
He was a little nonplussed by her words. “Break up? Don’t even think about it!” As he spoke, he bent down and nibbled on her
cheek.
“Ah!” Lillian exclaimed in pain and rubbed her cheek where she was bitten. There were faint bite marks on her face. “just said we
would pretend to break up. I didn’t mean we’d actually break up!”
“That’s not allowed either! We’ve talked about this before! Once we start dating for real, we can’t break up!” He gently rubbed her
head as he continued, “Don’t worry. I will solve the problems with the White family as soon as possible. It should take me three
months at most!”
Lillian suddenly felt as though Callum was about to unleash a trump card of some sort. “What are you going to do?”

“Of course, we can’t cause trouble in the main branch of the White family anymore.” Callum stared at the other party and said, “I
told you that I would not let you get involved in those nasty affairs of the White family, and I will keep my word!”
Lillian smiled. “Well, I believe you can do it!”
Her trusting eyes moved him. He leaned down and gently placed his lips on the spot where he had just bitten her. “Does it
hurt?”
