The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 700

“Zachary…” The word slipped from Jonathan’s lips. “Even though he let you down, but… if he hadn’t back then… Would you be married to him now?”

“No,” Rosalie replied.

“How can you be so certain?”

“When I was younger, I didn’t grasp the importance of marrying someone from a similar social background in our world. Looking back on it now, even if I had been Zachary’s girlfriend back then, his parents would have never permitted him to marry me or accept me into the Xanthos family.”

Rosalie recounted her past, sighing at her own naivety,

“Furthermore, Zachary’s feelings for me weren’t that deep. Perhaps he had some affection for me, but it was probably more about novelty and excitement. He wouldn’t have gone against his parents or sacrificed everything within the Xanthos family for me. That’s why he was able to distance himself from me so quickly after what happened to me.” “What if he could have defied his parents for you? What if he could have given up everything in the Xanthos family for you, would you have married him then?” Now it was Jonathan’s turn to feel a pang of jealousy, and his handsome face unmistakably showed how much he cared.

Rosalie couldn’t help but chuckle. “Do you think everyone is like you? There’s no ‘what if’ in this scenario. I can’t fathom deeply loving someone who treated me as a disposable pawn.”

His grip around her tightened slightly.

Jonathan said in a low voice, “The Xanthos family won’t last much longer. Since they aim to marry within their social class, they can find a suitable match with the Hamilton family.”

Rosalie was startled and gazed up at Jonathan. “Are you planning to take action against the Xanthos family?”

“In the future, Strico’s upper-class coterie won’t have the Hamilton family in sight, and given that the Xanthos family are aligning themselves with the Hamilton family, it’s only logical that when the Hamilton family face adversity, the Xanthos family won’t escape unscathed.” Jonathan smiled faintly, yet his voice held a clear sense of resolve.
