The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 537

However, at that moment, no one dared to step forward. They didn’t even have the guts to breathe loudly.

These two were the most influential men in Strico, after all. Approaching them at that moment would be like

serving as cannon fodder.

“So what?” Jonathan said coldly.

Rosalie glared at Jonathan. She then turned to support Calvin’s hand, which was broken. “How are you feeling?

Does it hurt? Do

you need medical attention? Are there any doctors in the banquet hall?”

She knew that some large banquets would be staffed with medical personnel in case of emergencies.

“I’m okay. It’s just a fracture,” Calvin answered. As he spoke, he reflected on how many years had been since he

had experienced the pain of a broken bone.

But it was precisely because Calvin was feeling it now that he could better empathize with Rosalie when all her

finger bones were broken back then.

“How much pain did she endure? The pain she went through was probably tenfold or a hundredfold worse than

what I’m feeling now,” Calvin said inwardly.

Rosalie looked guilty. She was aware that Calvin’s unwarranted injury had happened because of her.

“There’s nothing ‘okay’ about this! If it doesn’t heal properly, maybe in the future…”

Nevertheless, before Rosalie could finish her sentence, a strong force pulled her into a broad embrace.

Suddenly, her body stiffened. Right after that, she started to struggle. “Jonathan Youngblood! Let go of me!” Rosalie

yelled.

However, Jonathan simply lifted her onto his shoulder.

Calvin wanted to stop them, but the bodyguards beside Jonathan swiftly blocked him. Even though there were

numerous professional security guards at the banquet, Jonathan had come prepared and did not overlook this

detail.

The security guards could not break through the blockade created by the people Jonathan had brought with him.

In urgency, Calvin ignored the pain in his injured wrist and resorted to using his fists.

Since the dangerous incident on the mountain years ago, he had been consciously training his fighting skills. He had

done so, hoping he would not be left unable to save himself one day.

No, it was not just for self-defense. Calvin wanted to protect the people he cared about, too.

As a result, everyone witnessed Calvin, who usually appeared aloof and refined, fiercely assaulting others. His

entire being exuded a palpable bloodthirsty demeanor.

For a moment, even the professional bodyguards dared not approach him.

“Don’t stop me. Whoever gets in my way today, I’ll ensure they never have a moment’s peace for the rest of their

lives. I, Calvin Gunner, am a man of my word! Even with Jonathan protecting you, it’s useless!” His voice was filled

with a chilling resolve, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.

At least in that moment, no one would doubt whether Calvin’s words were serious because his expression and

already clarified everything.

gaze had

Right then, the person he had knocked down single-handedly struggled to get up. But Calvin firmly crushed him

under his

foot.

Anyone who stood in his way at that moment was his enemy. His ruthlessness was evident when faced with an

enemy. However, even so, as Calvin rushed toward Jonathan’s car, the vehicle had already started and was driving

away.

It was too late for Calvin to catch up.

His dark eyes were fixed on the departing car. His handsome face was now marked with anxiety and gloom. “Is

Jonathan trying to use this method to convey that he could take away anyone he desired?” Calvin thought.

Meanwhile, Rosalie was thrown into the back seat inside the car. Right then, she struggled to sit up. “What are you

trying to do, Jonathan?”

“What?” The man sitting beside her chuckled coldly. His beautiful eyes locked onto her. His gaze was cold and

intense. It gave Rosalie a feeling that she was in extreme danger.

Rosalie trembled slightly. The next moment, Jonathan suddenly leaned over, his arms pressing on either side of her

body, almost imprisoning her within his embrace.

At the same time, a partition slowly rose between the back seat and the front seat. It effectively divided the car’s

space. The rear seat which was larger than an ordinary car, immediately turned into a separate space.

A trace of panic flashed in Rosalie’s eyes.

Jonathan’s face slowly approached her. “Is Calvin really that good? Good enough to eagerly put on the gown he

prepared for you? You even embraced him.”

At that moment, his face revealed an unbridled jealousy.

Yes, he was jealous. In fact, Jonathan was consumed by an uncontrollable jealousy. He had never experienced such

intense jealousy before. Yet, when he saw the photos sent by Rosalie’s bodyguards, whom he had sent to monitor

her, Jonathan felt his heart racing.

She wore a purple floral dress and tenderly embraced Calvin. In the photo, Rosalie did not resist the hug in the

slightest. One could even say she willingly did it!

“Had she fallen in love with Calvin?” Jonathan wondered. At the thought of that possibility, he felt like jealousy was

swallowing him whole.

He knew Calvin had a habit of collecting purple floral dresses, a secret they had never publicly shared.

Back then, Alan had asked out of curiosity, “Calvin, who are you collecting these various purple dresses with small

floral patterns for?”

“For the person I miss the most in my lifetime.” That was Calvin’s answer at that time.

Jonathan had simply smiled after hearing that. He thought it was a joke.

After that, he had seen Calvin’s painting. There was a little girl in the painting, and she was wearing a floral dress.

And then, Jonathan saw a photo of young Rosalie wearing a floral dress!

So, he knew that the floral dresses Calvin collected were meant for Rosalie. The person Calvin missed was her.

Even after Fiona appeared in Calvin’s life, he still made Rosalie wear the purple floral gown. It seemed like he had

given it to the person he truly missed.

Jonathan’s face was getting closer to Rosalie, and his lips were about to touch hers.

She suddenly turned her head, avoiding his kiss. But simultaneously, Rosalie felt like a raging storm was brewing

within her as she questioned inwardly, “Did he know that Calvin had hugged me tonight? Did he see that? Or…”

However, avoiding Jonathan did not help at all. In the next moment, he kissed her lips fiercely.

Rosalie struggled hard, but she couldn’t avoid the kiss that was like a persistent shadow.

She could feel Jonathan’s breath on her face as he tightly held her wrists. It was impossible for Rosalie to break

free. In an instant, an unpleasant atmosphere permeated the inside of the car.
