The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 636

As he spoke, Jonathan turned his gaze to Rosalie once more. “I’m afraid your cousin Fiona won’t end up well then. What about you? Do you want to help her?”

“No,” Rosalie said curtly.

“Just because she set Lucas up?” he asked casually, but his beady eyes never missed the slightest change in expression on her face.

“That’s part of it,” Rosalie said frankly. “I’m no saint. I won’t help those who frame me or even innocent people again and again. As long as Fiona bears my identity, she won’t feel at ease and would want to deal with me. I have already considered the consequences the moment I told Calvin the truth.”

“Innocent?” Jonathan scoffed. “Do you really believe that Lucas is innocent? You’re a lawyer, aren’t you? Shouldn’t you trust the evidence instead? Now, all the evidence points to Lucas.”

“I do,” Rosalie said calmly. “Evidence is nothing more than how things appear, anyway. If you read too much into these appearances, it may lead to the wrong conclusions. Isn’t that true with my case?”

Jonathan’s eyes flashed. He fell silent.

Her old case was a pain in his heart.

“Besides, Lucas is a good person,” Rosalie continued. “He’s simple and kind, and he shouldn’t have been framed like this. Besides, it was because of me that Fiona set him up. I have to win this case for him no matter what it takes. Even if he loses, I will continue to appeal and find compelling evidence for him!”

“Since you want to win this case for Lucas no matter what it takes, how about I help you?” Jonathan offered.

Rosalie was stunned. She appeared a little nonplussed. “Hasn’t he been cold toward Lucas all this time?” she thought. “Why does he want to help him now?”

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, he raised his eyebrows. “Why won’t you believe me?”

“It’s not that.” She shook her head. “Now that he offered,” she thought, “I’m sure he’s going to help. It’s just…” Then, she admitted aloud, “I’m curious as to why you are willing to help Lucas.”
