The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 12

Rosalie was alone in prison back then. If Lillian had not come to visit her from time to time, encouraged her, and tirelessly worked for her cause, she might not have made it out of prison alive.

It was Lillian who had been supporting her throughout those difficult three years.

“Her last hope?” His gaze flickered, and he pondered. It seems like Lillian holds quite a special place in her heart.” He then questioned. “But to regard someone as your last hope, don’t you find it a bit laughable? If this person is to abandon you one day, wouldn’t you feel more despair?”

In a short time, the inspectors from the Municipal Management Bureau would come. The staff in charge of street cleaning would stand there to greet them. It would also be convenient for her to report her work later on.

Rosalie’s slender figure stood amidst a group of middle-aged men and women, appearing quite conspicuous.

“Rosalie! You’re Rosalie!” When the inspectors arrived at the Environment and Sanitation Administration, a 27-year-old or 28-year-old woman suddenly shouted when she saw Rosalie.
