The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 27

Although Yvette felt that she was indeed in her own class, she could never bring herself to really let those words out of her mouth as the crowd grew denser

Especially when Yvette saw the people around her taking out their phones and starting to film her, she became even more furious. Still, on the surface, she had to keep her poise.

Not long after that, more and more people from the Environment and Sanitation Administration arrived. Together with the reinforcement from the police department, they searched high and low for the ring

Just like that. Yvette and Meredith weathered the cold breeze, surrounded by the parade of onlookers while being. interrogated by the police. To make matters worse, they had to endure the foul smell coming from the piles of garbage beside them.

Of course, the ring was not found in the end. When the police finally let Yvette and Meredith go, the duo could almost feel themselves already swathed by the pungent smell of garbage.

Once they returned to the car, Meredith uttered uneasily, “Yvette, what should we do? Things are getting worse now that it’s turned into a criminal case. Who on earth reported it? Even the police are involved now”

“I’ll just pull some strings when I get back and put an end to this case. Yvette replied with a gloomy face.

Compared to the case, she was more concerned about her public image. That would make sense, for she was a celebrity, a rising star at that. As one who used to take selfies in various high-class venues, she found it hard to believe that she had stood beside the garbage dump that time around.

On top of that, there was a plethora of bystanders shooting her at the scene, which might soon make her hit the trending headlines on the news. Yvette had no choice but to call her manager to help keep the news under control.

Things were not in Rosalie’s favor either. Her whole body had long reeked of the stench of trash. She might have washed her hands a gazillion times, but a miasma of filth still lingered on her hands. As for her body, even if she took off her workwear and changed back into her usual coat, the smell continued to hang around her.

Then came Yulissa’s complaint. “Seriously, rich people like her are the worst! She’s the one who lost her ring, but she takes it out on us. Granted the ring cost a fortune, she should’ve kept an extra eye on it herself.”

Comforting words were all Rosalie could offer her colleague. On the heels of that, she grabbed her handbag and left the Environment and Sanitation Administration.

Having to deal with Yvette’s nonsense, she reached home later than usual that day. The streetlights were already on at that point. As the icy wind blew on her face, she felt a bone-chilling, sharp pang assailing her from within.

On that very day, the pain of how time had changed hit her once more. To think that she had no way to retaliate when Yvette asked she to look for the ring.

Unless she was to quit that job of hers, she could only bear with that pile of stinky rubbish and look for the so-called ring
