The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 744

“It wasn’t purely coincidental. Yvette picked you as her scapegoat from the start. Yvette had a crush on Zachary, but you were his girlfriend at the time. So, choosing you as the scapegoat seemed like the perfect plan for her,” Jonathan ́explained.

Why did you lead me to believe that Mike was the true perpetrator? Why did you seek to protect Yvette?”
