The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 868

Lillian clenched her teeth, not saying a word.

Callum smiled bitterly. “It looks like you still prefer to see me in pain, right?” Saying that, he didn’t speak further and

turned to leave.

Lillian watched his retreating figure, feeling as if all the strength had left her body. She squatted down weakly, her

hands tightly wrapped around her knees and her

nose was sore.

She wanted to cry, but she couldn’t. Bitterness lingered in her mouth.

“Why have things turned out this way between me and him? What should I do now? I have made up my mind, but

why do I waver again because of him?” she thought.

Zachary never expected to see Yvette again.

Nonetheless, the woman in front of him now was different from the one he remembered. Yvette wore plain and

cheap clothes, and her hair was dry and yellow, tied back with a simple hairband. The once radiant face now looked

haggard, as if she were in her forties.

Now, others might not believe that Yvette was once hailed as the city’s goddess by countless men.

“You…” Zachary was at a loss for words.

“Why? You can’t recognize me after so long?” Yvette said. They were in a KFC restaurant, surrounded by various

people coming in and out. Nobody paid attention to them.

There, no one would think that the man and woman having a conversation were once the talk of the town.

Back then, because of the marriage between the Xanthos and Hamilton families, Zachary had displayed their love

on screens all over the city, promising eternal love. They were once such glamorous.

Yet, now, they had fallen to that state.

“It’s been a long time. Your parents have been looking for you all these years. Have you ever gone to find them?”

Zachary asked.

“No. Yvette shrugged. “What’s the use of finding them now with my current status? The current Hamilton family

can’t protect me either.”

It suddenly dawned on Zachary. Yvette was currently a fugitive. He wasn’t clear about the specifics of the incident

involving Rosalie falling into the sea, but he knew that Yvette was somehow connected to it and was wanted by the

police,

Are you planning to turn yourself in now? Zachary asked

Turn myself in Yvette laughed as if she had heard a joke. “Why should I

haven’t done anything wrong. Rosalie ruined the Hamilton family and brought me to this miserable state. Shouldn’t

I seek justice from her?”

Zachary frowned with obvious dissatisfaction on his face. “It was you who dragged down the Hamilton family in the

first place. If you hadn’t done those things, the Hamilton family wouldn’t be in this situation, and even the Xanthos

family…”

His voice trailed off, and he didn’t continue.

However, Yvette smiled ironically. “Do you think it’s also my fault that the Xanthos family became like this? Zachary,

if you hadn’t abandoned Rosalie back then and chosen to be with me, would the Xanthos family be like this?

Everything that happened is because of your choices!”

“If you hadn’t schemed against Rosalie, how could I end up like this?” Zachary growled, a hint of bitterness in his

voice.

Even though he had accepted his fate now, every time he saw Yvette, he couldn’t help but think that if she hadn’t

done those things back then, he would have continued his relationship with Rosalie, and they would have gotten

married smoothly. The Xanthos family wouldn’t have incurred the wrath of Jonathan, and they wouldn’t be in that

current situation.

Yvette looked at Zachary, her expression cold. “My only mistake was loving too much! A man like you is not worth

my actions.”

YOU

“You!” Zachary glared at Yvette. “You claimed that you did everything because you loved me back then. In the end,

it was because you couldn’t stand being under your sister’s shadow. Since you have done those things, you should

turn yourself in now!”

“What if I don’t want to?” Yvette said.

“Then I’ll call the police,” Zachary said and took out his phone.

The next moment, Yvette suddenly waved towards the children’s play area in KFC. “Felix, come here!”

A little boy who had been sitting in a corner, not playing, just observing others, stood up and walked out of the play

area. He came over to Yvette.

Zachary paused, his finger hovering over the emergency number on his phone. “This child…”

“He’s my son, Yvette said, a smug smile appeared on her lips. It was the smile of a confident hunter, waiting for her

prey to jump into her trap. “He’s your son too, Zachary. Given the circumstances, do you still want to call the

police?” Instantly, Zachary felt his hands turn as heavy as a thousand pounds!

In the study, Jonathan flipped through the report in his hands. It was an investigation report about Zekiah, covering

everything from the child’s birth until

Every piece of information that could be found was meticulously cumented in that report.

ordinary person, reading such a report wouldn’t raise any concerru

The Geo’s

However, in Jonathan’s eyes, there was something suspicious about it.

In essence, the report was too perfect, almost as if it were deliberately tailored for- the eyes of the investigator.

Every necessary detail was clear and precise, leaving no room for ambiguity. Even the biological parents of the

child who had passed away were described accurately. However, the biological parents of the deceased child were

also orphans with no relatives or friends. Consequently, the available information for investigation was quite limited.

Jonathan’s eyes were heavy with suspicion as he looked at the photos of Zekiah’s biological parents in the

document. The couple bore no resemblance to the child, not even a slight similarity.

The blood sample of Zekiah should be obtainable in two days. As for his and Rosalie’s blood samples, they were

already recorded as missing persons at the police station, due to the search for the child hidden by Kurt.

Once he obtained Zekiah’s blood sample, he could conclusively determine whether he was truly the child of him

and Rosalie!

Jonathan closed the document and left the study. He saw Gary coming out of Guillermo’s room.

“Are the children asleep?” he asked. He knew that his daughter liked sleeping in his son’s room during that period.

“They are,” Gary answered.

“What about Rosalie? Has she come back?” Jonathan inquired further.

“Not yet, but she called earlier and said she might be back late tonight,” Gary said. Jonathan frowned slightly.

Earlier in the evening, Rosalie had gone out because of a phone call from Lillian. She said that she needed to

accompany the latter, who seemed to be upset about something, to help her relax.
