The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 572

At this moment, Rosalie told the on-site staff that she had come to deliver a flash drive to Fiona. This allowed her to

smoothly pass through the crowd and enter the rest area rented by the production crew from the mall.

A makeup artist was currently dressing Fiona up. Fiona hadn’t changed into her costume yet and was still wearing

her own designer clothes. They were all adorned with prominent logos, as if she were afraid that people wouldn’t

recognize her branded attire.

Her hands were also adorned with rings and bracelets, each of them worth a fortune.

Looking at Fiona like that, Rosalie couldn’t help but think of how Fiona used to look in their small hometown.

“Rosalie, you’re here!” Fiona pretended to be enthusiastic.

“I have the flash drive you wanted,” Rosalie said, taking out the flash drive to hand it to Fiona.

However, Fiona didn’t accept it right away. Instead, she said, “I’m busy right now. I’ll be shooting my scenes shortly.

Could you wait in the adjacent lounge for a while? Besides the flash drive, I have some questions about the case to

ask you, and I need you to pass on a message to Mr. Guzman. After all, you are his assistant, aren’t you?”

Rosalie frowned. She didn’t want to stay there any longer.

Just then, Rosalie’s gaze inadvertently caught sight of someone among the group of background actors waiting on

the side

and froze.

The person she saw had also noticed her and hesitated for a moment before walking over. “Rosalie, what are you

doing here?”

“Do you know each other?” Fiona asked.

“Yes, we know each other.” The person was a woman in her thirties, with a rather masculine appearance and a

burly physique. She had initially shown disdain toward Rosalie, but now, facing Fiona, she appeared to be flattering.

After all, even though she was currently just an extra among the film crew, she knew that Fiona was the woman

most likely to become Calvin’s girlfriend. She had heard that Fiona had saved Calvin’s life when he was a child.

Among the film crew, despite some secretly looking down on Fiona, everyone tried their best to curry favor with

her..

After all, if they could get along with Fiona, there were possibilities that they could also get along with Calvin.

In the entertainment industry, who wouldn’t want to climb the social ladder and get close to Calvin?

Rosalie looked at the woman and remembered her from the time they had shared a prison cell. Back then, the

woman had physically and verbally abused her countless times, even yanking her by the hair and dunking her face

in ice-cold water. The excruciating pain and humiliation she had endured were still vivid in her memory.

Rosalie’s face turned cold.

Seeing Rosalie’s expression, the woman, Maisie, grinned and said, “What’s wrong? After all, we were like sisters

back in the day. Why the long face?”

Rosalie snorted. “I have never had a sister like you!”

Maisie suddenly felt that her face had been slapped by Rosalie’s words. She remembered how she had treated

Rosalie like a worthless dog in prison. Now, Rosalie dared to speak to her like that, especially in front of Fiona..

Immediately, Maisie replied in an annoyed tone, “We were all prison mates back then. Did you forget?”

As soon as those words left her mouth, Maisie instantly regretted them. The people around them would definitely

look at her with judgmental eyes if they found out she had been in prison.

By then, she might not have the gig as a background actor for much longer.

As expected, some of the people who had overheard Maisie’s words began to look in her direction.

One person even asked, “Y-You’ve been to prison? How is it possible for someone who’s been to prison to work as a

legal

assistant?”

They were naturally referring to Rosalie. Maisie looked at Rosalie with jealousy. She wondered how Rosalie could

have gotten out of prison and still become a legal assistant.

On the contrary, Maisie felt that she hadn’t made it as well on the outside as she had inside prison. At least, in

prison, she could flaunt her dominance in front of other inmates.

Rosalie had long grown accustomed to the strange looks of people around her. She didn’t bother explaining

anything. However, unexpectedly, Fiona spoke up on her behalf. “It’s just a few years in prison, nothing major.”

As she spoke, Fiona looked at Rosalie with a kind look and continued, “Rosalie, we’re cousins. I don’t care if you’ve

been to prison. If you ever face any difficulties, you can talk to me.”

Rosalie’s eyes flickered. Was Fiona, once again, putting on a show of sisterly affection in front of others?

Sure enough, some of the people who usually flattered Fiona chimed in, “Yeah, Fiona, you’re so devoted to

sisterhood.”

“That’s right. While it’s good to be affectionate, you should still be cautious.”

“Indeed, you should be careful. Some people change after getting out of prison.”

At that moment, another actress, who usually disliked Fiona, suddenly spoke. “Hey, having a relative who’s been to

prison… I wonder if Mr. Gunner minds. After all, the Gunner family is a prestigious family!”

Someone else quickly added, “What are you talking about? It’s just Fiona’s cousin. What does that have to do with

her?”

“That’s right. Besides, Mr. Gunner is so good to Fiona. He won’t care if her cousin has been to prison.”

In an instant, the crowd began discussing about Rosalie, focusing on the fact that she had been in prison. They

treated her as if she were just a talking point and paid no attention to her feelings.

Rosalie watched everything unfold in front of her coldly. Fiona continued to speak in a pretentious way. “Rosalie,

please wait in the lounge for me. I’ll come find you after I finish my makeup. We can discuss the follow-up plans for

the case.”

Rosalie pursed her lips and, in the end, chose to head to the lounge to wait for Fiona.

She didn’t want to linger there, but work was still work.

Rosalie sat down in the lounge. There was no one else in the room at the moment, so she waited patiently there for

Fiona.

However, after only a short while, she heard faint male breathing coming from the room.

Rosalie was taken aback. Before she could think much about it, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the

changing curtain in the lounge.

Rosalie took a closer look and recognized it was Joseph.

He was Fiona’s ex-husband.

However, Joseph looked different now. His face was flushed. He was wearing only boxer shorts, and his entire

demeanor exuded a ferocious and uncontrollable aura. His eyes seemed vacant, as if he had lost his sanity,

completely lacking the clarity of a sane person.
