The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 822
When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Madeline sitting on the couch with a meaningful smile. She said, “It seems that you
are still reluctant to leave your sweetheart. You played hero and saved a damsel in distress today, but unfortunately, no matter
how reluctant you are, you can’t be with her.”
“I just happened to pass by that place. Since I have decided to marry you, you don’t need to worry about it,” Callum said
indifferently.
“That would be best.” Madeline got up and walked to Callum. “You should know how much I did for you. I helped you get back
the White family and convinced my parents to let you continue to be the chairman after our marriage of convenience. Lillian can’t
do what I did for you. She will never be your backer and help you with anything.”
Madeline believed that she was the only one who could help him.
With that, Madeline raised her arms and wrapped them around Callum’s neck.
Callum’s body stiffened slightly and his eyes flashed. But this time, he didn’t push her away.
Madeline’s eyes flashed with complacency. She thought, “He’ll be conquered by me after all.”
“Callum, only I can really help you become a person above all others and fight side by side with you without letting you be looked
down upon by anyone. Lillian will only be your stumbling block,” Madeline said confidently.
Callum’s eyes darkened.
He thought, “Lillian, Lillian, wait for me a little longer, okay? I just hope she’ll give me some time. Just give me some more time.”
Rosalie and Jonathan returned to the Youngblood residence and cleaned up. Rosalie also thoroughly checked Jonathan’s body.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong, she felt relieved.
“Don’t protect me like this next time. Fortunately, what they threw today were only eggs, vegetable leaves, and papers. If they
splashed sulfuric acid on us, the consequences would be unimaginable,” Rosalie said. Thinking of what happened just now, she
was still scared, especially when he only focused on protecting her and putting her in his arms to
prevent those things from hitting her.

But at that time, she was helpless. He was protecting her, but she couldn’t do anything else.
This feeling made her feel uncomfortable.
Jonathan said, “Even so, it’s better to have it splashed on me than on you. Rosie, I’m your husband. It is natural for a husband to
protect his wife.”
“But...”
“The only people I can protect like this are you and our kids, so there are no buts. Will you sit by and do nothing if you can
protect me one day?”
Rosalie held her breath. She knew that she wouldn’t sit by and do nothing. She would protect him with her own life.
“What’s wrong with that man today? Is he involved in a lawsuit with you?” Jonathan changed the subject and asked.
“He was accused of intentional injury in a lawsuit I handled back then, and his lawyer is my mentor,” said she.
“It’s Connor Smuckler, right?” Jonathan said.
“You know him?” Rosalie was slightly surprised and then realized that he had thoroughly investigated her life in Lofbury when
she returned to Strico, so she nodded and added, “Yes, it was also the first time I met Mr. Smuckler. I won that lawsuit and he
lost, but he didn’t get angry. Instead, he took me as his apprentice.”
That lawsuit was a rare defeat for Connor, but Rosalie still felt touched when she thought of what he said to her at the time.
At that time, Connor said, “Compared with the so-called failures, it is more important to find out the truth. Although we lawyers
should defend our clients, we can’t forfeit our conscience and not seek the truth.”
Connor was an upright lawyer and was highly respected in the legal profession. He was someone Rosalie admired deep down.
Rosalie said, “The man earlier is called Yoel Goldman. He used to be a staff member of an agency, but he was sentenced to two
and a half years in prison, so he lost his job. I heard that his family used a lot of money to get him the job back then and even
took on some debts.”
Therefore, it was not difficult to understand Yoel’s hostility and resentment towards her. However, Yoel not only targeted her but
also mentioned Connor today.

Thinking of this, Rosalie suddenly shuddered. “By the way, will there be news about what happened today? If Mr. Smuckler is
implicated...”
“Don’t worry. I’ve asked someone to deal with it. I won’t let this matter spread online,” Jonathan said.
Rosalie knew that he was a man of his word. Even if what happened today was really discussed online, it would only be on a
small scale and not become viral.
But even so, she still called Connor, who was in Lofbury, and told him about this matter. She wanted him to be mentally prepared
in case someone mentioned it in front of him.
After all, she didn’t want Connor’s reputation to be damaged, especially by such nasty denigration.
“Mr. Smuckler, I’m sorry. I will handle this matter on my side. Now we have called the police and that man has been detained. It
was just that it happened in a downtown area, so even if the relevant news were deleted, I’m afraid there would still be some...”
“We don’t have to be afraid of this if we did nothing wrong.” Connor’s voice came from the other end of the phone, exuding a
strange charm that comforted people. “You and I both had a clear conscience in that case. Since we have chosen to be lawyers,
we will face many doubts sooner or later. If you plan to continue working in this industry, there may be more to be faced in the
future.”
“I got it,” Rosalie said.
“Anyway, you said on the phone last time that Jonathan treats you very well, so I’m relieved. Next time, I will visit you, Jen, and
Guille, whom you mentioned, in Strico,” Connor said.
As Connor was long in the tooth, Rosalie hurriedly said, “I should bring them to see you in Lofbury, instead.”
“Haha. I want to see Strico too. I’ll go over when I’m done with the cases on hand,” Connor said.
They talked for a while before ending the call.
“It seems that you respect your mentor very much,” Jonathan said.

Rosalie said, “Well, he is a very upright person. I defeated him in the lawsuit at the time, but he was not displeased at all. He
valued the truth more than the case. He said that the defendant’s interests should be safeguarded, but it doesn’t mean that we
can forfeit our conscience,
reverse the truth, and create more injustices and victims in this world.”
