The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1251

After many years of marriage, Harriet realized Zephyr’s heart was even crueler than she

had imagined.

But now, even if Zephyr was unwilling to help her, she had to drag the Scott family down.

The Summer family must not fall, and she couldn’t let Riley get everything back.

Harriet came to the office building of Scott Group and went in.

The staff within the company were well aware that she was Mrs. Scott. As soon as Harriet

stepped into the elevator, they immediately started discussing her.

After all, everyone was well aware of the latest breaking news.

Harriet walked to Zephyr’s office but was stopped by the secretary.

“Mrs. Scott, Mr. Scott is talking to someone in the office now. If you wish

to see him, please wait a moment.””

“I need to discuss an urgent matter with him,” Harriet said.

“You still need to wait.” The secretary was firm.

Harriet felt agitated as she perceived the secretary’s gaze filled with disdain directed

toward her.

“Why are you looking at me like that? What? Do you believe that something bad happened

to the Summer family recently, and now you, as merely a secretary, think less of me”

Harriet scolded directly.

The secretary replied calmly, “Mrs. Scott, you think too much. I didn’t mean that.”

“No? If not, why not allow me in Mr. Scott’s office?”

“Mr. Scott said that no one is allowed to enter the office at the moment,” said the

secretary.

As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Harriet slapped her in the face. “I’m Mrs.

Scott. If you don’t let me in, believe it or not, you’ll be fired right away!”

“I don’t know when the Summer family became so powerful even my

secretary could be fired at any time.” Suddenly, Zephyr’s voice emerged.

Chapter 1251

Harriet was astonished and stunned as she watched Zephyr and the company’s senior

executives walk out of the office.

“Zephyr, I… I just wanted to see you, but your secretary stopped me,” Harriet explained.

“That’s what I specifically instructed. She didn’t do anything wrong by stopping you,”

Zephyr said coldly.

Undoubtedly, this was a humiliating blow delivered in front of everyone. Harriet’s face

flushed with both anger and embarrassment.

What was even more mortifying for her was Zephyr’s statement, “You may be my wife

now, but that doesn’t entitle you to fire employees from our company. In addition, if you

hit someone, shouldn’t you apologize?”

“Apologize?” Harriet was stunned. She wondered, “Did he just ask me to apologize? Why

doesn’t he consider the impact on my reputation if I apologize to a secretary?”

Thinking about the Summer family’s current situation, Harriet could only apologize to his

secretary aggrievedly before stepping into the CEO’s office of Zephyr.

As soon as she entered the office, Harriet complained with grievances, “Zephyr, we have

been married for so many years. Shouldn’t you show some respect to me in front of

others? Your actions earlier could harm my reputation if the whole company finds out that

the CEO’s wife apologized to a secretary.”

Zephyr walked to the desk and sat down. “If you’re afraid of being shameless, don’t do

anything shameless. Are you here in my company at this hour because you need my

assistance for the Summer family?”

“Aren’t you obligated to help the Summer family, considering I’m your wife, and we have a

son?” Harriet asked.

“Nothing in this world is taken for granted, just like when I married you,” Zephyr replied

indifferently.

Harriet’s expression changed. “Are you blaming me for forcing you to marry me by using

my pregnancy?”

Zephyr didn’t answer the question but nonchalantly stated, “The Summer family is in a

tough spot now. The Scott family, unfortunately, will not offer any assistance. If the Scott

family were to intervene, it would only bring us down.”

The icy tone of his voice suggested that he was merely discussing the pros and cons of

something mundane

Harriet’s heart skipped a beat, and she pondered, “Is this man still so cold even in such

circumstances? If it was Riley who married him, would he still be so cold when the

Summer family is going through this incident?”

In the end, she repressed those words and kept them to herself.

“If something happens to the Summer family, it will affect the joint projects they have with

the Scott family. The Scott family will also suffer heavy losses at that time,” Harriet stated.

However, Zephyr remained silent, implying that these losses were something he had

already anticipated.

Harriet continued, “So, you don’t care about Hendrick either? Do you think he will be able

to maintain his upper-class status in Lommore, given the fact that his mother spent her

time in jail before? I’m afraid everyone will laugh at him behind his back. A mother who

has been in prison is a stain he can’t get rid of in his life!”

Zephyr’s eyes narrowed abruptly, intensifying the icy coldness within them. “So back

then, the Summer family really sent Riley, who wasn’t ill, to a psychiatric hospital?”

“Yes.” This time, Harriet openly acknowledged it.

“Why?” he asked harshly.

“Riley held 35 percent of the shares in Summer Group. If she truly gained control of the

group, how are my parents and I supposed to lead a good life? You should know how much

she hated us back in the day!” Harriet replied.

Zephyr felt his heart sink, and he was well aware of it.

“Just because of the shares?”

“And I love you. But at that time, even if Riley broke your heart, you still didn’t call off the

engagement. I want to offer you an alternative and also give myself a chance,” Harriet

explained. It even seemed as if everything she did was for Zephyr’s sake.

Zephyr’s frustration boiled over. “You… I didn’t ask you to offer me an alternative!”

“Would you still marry Riley if she hadn’t been admitted to the psychiatric hospital despite

betraying your feelings?” Harriet questioned.

Zephyr was at a loss for words. At this point, he was unsure if he would have married Riley

had she not been admitted to the psychiatric hospital at that time.

Even though he hated Riley’s betrayal, he still loved her.

Harriet paused and continued, “Now, the doctors who diagnosed Riley can’t be contacted.

Maybe they have been caught like that attending physician. Perhaps there will be

additional incriminating evidence on the internet regarding the Summer family. If she

continues to investigate, I will be imprisoned, and Hendrick will have a criminal mother.

Can you truly bear the consequences?”

Zephyr was silent.

Harriet didn’t urge him. Since the Scott family cared a lot about Hendrick, if Zephyr was

not willing to help them, she decided to talk directly to Zephyr’s parents. She knew they

might not want their grandson to have a mother who had been in jail.
