The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 839
With that thought, Callum’s handsome face instantly became distorted. Jealousy, pain, struggle, and contradiction were all shown
on his face. Meanwhile, after leaving the Quinn residence, Jerick felt relieved. When he gave a call to Lillian today and knew that
she had returned home smoothly, he hurried over to see her.
Fortunately, the matter had subsided, and Lillian’s life should be able to return to normal.
“Jerick, if you don’t think it’s appropriate for us to stay in touch, just say it, directly. I’ll be fine with that,” said Lillian.
At the thought of what Lillian had said to him privately in the Quinn residence, Jerick could not help but have a smile flash across
his eyes again.
Sometimes, he would think that this woman was way too candid.
Even though Lillian was already 33 years old, she gave off a sense of innocence like a child.
Maybe it was also for this reason that Jerick wanted to keep in touch with her after the blind date.
“Let’s keep in touch then. You are also the victim in this matter,” said Jerick.
“So, you believe I’m innocent regarding the matter of me appearing at the hotel with Callum?” Lillian asked.
“I believe you.” This was the answer he gave her.
Jerick thought, “Yes, I do believe her. If there’s something between her and Callum, given her personality, she would have told
me about it directly.”
At the thought of Callum, Jerick could not help but think about the time he met the man back then.
He pondered in his mind, “Even though their relationship is in the past for Lillian, what about Callum? Has it really passed for
him? Especially now that Callum and Madeline have called off their engagement!”
As Jerick walked out of the elevator, he suddenly stopped as he saw a figure standing not far away at this moment. He noticed
that the figure was Callum.

He wondered why Callum was here.
Jerick looked at the man in shock. The two men just looked at each other from a distance, and none of them spoke.
After a while, Jerick suppressed the shock in his mind and walked forward step by step. Just as he was about to pass by Callum,
the latter suddenly said, “Jerick, are you planning to get together with Lillian?” Jerick stopped in his tracks and turned around to
look at Callum. “This is my personal matter. I don’t need to explain it to you, Mr. White.”
Even though Callum was the chairman of White Maple Group, and now that he was the final big winner after the battle with the
Tall family, which showed a stark difference between the two men, Jerick was neither haughty nor humble when facing Callum.
“What if I insist on knowing?” Callum said coldly.
“Mr. White, are you trying to threaten me?” Jerick replied.
“So what if I am?” Callum said, and the jealousy in his eyes was so obvious at this moment.
Jerick turned silent. He naturally knew that with his power, he would just attempt the impossible if he really wanted to confront
Callum. If Callum really wanted to get an answer, he could use thousands of ways to force Jerick tell him.
to?
Besides, the jealousy in Callum’s eyes right now was shown before Jerick. Jerick wondered if the other man was jealous of him
because of Lillan.
Jerick did not expect that one day, he would become the target of Callum’s jealousy.
“Mr. White, if you still have feelings for Lillian, it’s not me you should ask but Lillian,” Jerick replied. “Even if I really plan to be with
Lillian, and if she doesn’t choose me, then the relationship won’t work in the end. Similarly, if you still have feelings for her, but
she doesn’t choose you, it’s impossible for the both of you to get together. The real choice is on Lillian.”
Callum pursed his thin lips tightly. “I just want to know if you are planning to get together with her.”
Jerick sighed. It seemed that he could not leave without giving the answer today. “Lillian is a good woman. If she and I could
really like each other, I naturally would want to be together with her.”
“If you can love her to the point of giving everything to her, only then do

you have the right to be with her. Otherwise, you won’t even have the right!” Callum seemed to be warning the other man.
“Why? If I don’t love Lillian enough to give everything to her, will you stop me from being with her, Mr. White?” Jerick asked.
Callum did not answer, but his indifferent expression was already a kind of acquiescence.
“Mr. White, can you give everything to Lillian yourself? If so, then you can just pursue Lillian again. As I said, the final choice is in
Lillian’s hands,” Jerick replied.
However, Callum’s expression suddenly changed after Jerick finished his words. Callum grabbed the other man by the collar with
both hands and glared at him fiercely. “You don’t even know anything. You have no idea
I...”
As he spoke to this point, he paused again.
Callum let go of his hands with dejection. His eyes, which were initially full of jealousy, suddenly turned dead. “You’d better treat
Lillian wholeheartedly. Otherwise, I will make your life worse than death. I’m a man of my word!”
After saying that, Callum turned around and left.
He thought, “If... If Lillian’s really willing to be with Jerick, maybe what I should do is give them my blessing.”
He would give his blessing to Lillian and let her live the life she wanted.
As for him, perhaps not getting what he was seeking was the best punishment for him.
Jerick looked at Callum’s retreating figure and finally let out a long sigh of relief.
His body trembled when Callum said the last sentence just now. Jerick knew that this man was serious. Callum’s expression and
tone seemed to convey that if Jerick treated Lillian badly, Callum would definitely hunt him
It was no doubt that Callum still clearly loved Lillian deeply.
“But, since that’s the case, why doesn’t Callum pursue Lillian again but come to warn me instead?” Jerick’s mind was full of
confusion as the man thought of that.

Lillian’s life began to return to normal. However, when she returned to.. work, she learned that Rebecca was fired.
11HI
“Do you know that there’s a rumor that Rebecca is really the one who recorded the video of you entering and exiting the hotel?
She even sold the video to reporters and verified accounts!” a colleague told Lillian the gossip. “I have no idea that Rebecca is
such a person!”
“Why would you be so clueless? I already saw through her true colors long ago,” another colleague said. “Rebecca is really
horrible. By doing this, she wanted to put Lillian into a deadly situation.”
“Yeah. I’m glad Lillian is safe. As the culprit, Rebecca is reaping what she sowed. It’s a good thing that Mr. Todd had fired her!
We have one less troublemaker in our group!” someone added.
