The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 186

“I’m thinking…” She suddenly shivered and stared straight at the person in front of her. Callum was now the

helmsman of the White family, so he naturally had his connections. If Callum was willing to help her investigate

Rosalie’s case, he would probably attain useful clues easier than if she did herself.

Thinking of this, her eyes were even brighter. She looked at Callum as if she saw hope.

“Uhm… I know I did something that hurt you in the past, so I’ll accept anything you say, and I also promise that I

will do as you said, but… Can you do me a small favor while we date?” Lillian looked at him expectantly.

“A favor?” Callum was a little surprised and asked, “What do you want me to help you with?” From her subservient

attitude alone, Callum already knew this favor she was asking for was not an easy task.

Lillian started, “Well, my friend, the one who came with Jonathan to see me, she was sentenced to three years in

prison before, but she was actually wronged. However, we didn’t find evidence to help her reopen the case. We

finally found some clues recently. Could you please investigate based on this lead and see if you can find any

evidence that is conducive to turning over the case.”

Callum didn’t expect that Lillian’s request for help would be for Rosalie.

“She has a good relationship with Jonathan. Why didn’t she ask Jonathan to help her reopen the case and instead,

make you do so much work?”

“Rosalie doesn’t know I’m asking you for help. She didn’t find Jonathan because…” Lillian paused for a while. After

all, it was about her friend’s personal affairs, and the relationship between Rosalie and Jonathan was quite

complicated. Therefore, Lillian had no choice but to say, “Anyway, she probably doesn’t want Jonathan’s help to

clear her name. After all, the case was about her killing his fiancée, Melanie, due to drunk driving.”

Callum squinted his eyes slightly and suddenly smiled.

“Why are you smiling?” Lillian frowned.

“I just think this is a little interesting.” Callum said with a smile, “But since the judge concluded that your friend

committed drunk driving resulting in death, why do you think she was wronged?”

“I believe she won’t lie. She said she didn’t drink that day, and it was Melanie’s car that sped toward hers. This must

be the truth.” Lillian was sure.

The curve at the corner of Callum’s mouth gradually disappeared, and his eyes darkened. “Do you believe her so

much?”

“She is my best friend. Who should I trust if not her?” Lillian answered as a matter of course.

“What about me? Do you believe me?” Callum suddenly asked.

Lillian was stunned and wondered, ‘What does he mean by that? Isn’t he going to take revenge on me? How can I

trust him without reservation?

If I really did, I’d be tortured to bits in the end.

However, she could not answer truthfully in front of Callum. So, she hurriedly said, “Of course I do!”

He stared at her as if he wanted to see through her.

After a long time, his eyelashes drooped slightly and hid the flash of disappointment in his eyes. Callum then said,

“Okay. Send the leads you have now to me later. I’ll get someone to investigate.”

“Really? Thank you so much!” Lillian was overjoyed and grabbed Callum’s hand excitedly, then said, “I knew it.

You’re a good man, so you can’t go back on your words!”

He looked at her hands in a daze. She held his hand tightly as if her hands were expressing the same joy.

He looked up and saw her happy smile. Suddenly, Callum was a little jealous because her current smile was not

because of him but Rosalie.

Obviously, Rosalie was much more important to her than him!

In the car, Calvin leaned against the back of the chair and rubbed his temples slightly.

After receiving a call, the secretary in the same car reported to Calvin, “Mr. Gunner, the jewelry Ms. Leighton chose

is worth 4 million dollars. Do you want to give it to Ms. Leighton?”

The jewelry store owner purposely called to ask about it because it was worth 4 million dollars.

Calvin said indifferently, “Give it to her since she has made the choice.”

“Yes.” The secretary responded and relayed the message to the jewelry store owner. However, they thought, ‘Ms.

Leighton is too short-sighted. She only started dating Mr. Gunner recently and is already eager to join the upper-

class society. Recently, she often frequents jewelry stores and luxury brand shops, almost as if she wants to dress

herself up as a celebrity.

She takes whatever she wants and puts everything on Calvin’s tab.

This kind of woman is too impatient. She’s going to end up worse in the future the further she climbs up the social

ladder

now.’

However, what surprised the secretary was that Calvin would have given his previous girlfriends a cold shoulder for

a while. if they behaved this way. However, he had not neglected Loretta so far.

The secretary wondered if it was because their relationship was still relatively new. However, she did not think

Calvin was really captivated by Loretta. After all, if a man truly fell in love with a woman, he would not let the

woman pick jewelry on her own and would not use an indifferent tone when talking about her.

“But Ms. Leighton has spent a lot of money recently, and it’s already over 6 million dollars so far.” The secretary

decided it was necessary to remind Calvin about it.

“Oh?” Calvin slowly raised his eyes and looked at the secretary sitting beside him with a faint smile, then asked, “Tell

me, why are some people always so eager?”

“Maybe Ms. Leighton wants to get whatever she can,” the secretary replied.

“How boring. Maybe in the end, she won’t get anything.” As Calvin spoke, he slowly turned to look out of the

window. Although 6 million dollars was nothing to him, and he had always been willing to spend money on his

girlfriend, he simply dismissed it as compensation for these women.

In addition, all the women who had been his girlfriend only wanted his money, wealth, resources, and reputation.

However,’ they were all much more tactful than Loretta. At the very least, they were not like Loretta and treated

him as a fool.

However, it didn’t matter. He kept Loretta by his side simply because he wanted to know something about Rosalie’s

past from her.
