The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 828

But then, her confidence was rapidly shattering.

“Compared to letting me have real power, turning me into a mere figurehead Chairman suits the Tall family’s interests better. It would make you feel more at ease as well, wouldn’t it?” Callum said while smiling slightly, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

Madeline’s body trembled slightly. She had always been scheming and proud, believing that she had everything under control.

But at present, she was beginning to realize that the true control lay in the hands of the man before her.

Callum was well aware of the schemes involving her and the Tall family, yet he adeptly maintained a facade that left her baffled!

If he had appeared too compliant and eager to please, it would have raised suspicions in her mind. But over these five years, his display of struggle, his desire for power, and his contradictory feelings toward her had managed to lower her guard!

The man’s plan was too deep!

Terrifyingly deep!

Madeline turned around without saying a word and planned to leave. She realized that there was no point in staying there any longer. She needed to think about countermeasures as soon as possible!

However, as she reached the living room, she was stopped by Callum’s subordinate.

“Callum, what do you mean by this?” Madeline glared at him.

“It’s nothing special. I just hope that you’ll stay here for a few days,” Callum replied indifferently.

Madeline’s expression changed abruptly. “Are you planning to detain me?”

“It’s not really detention. It’s just a boyfriend wanting his girlfriend to stay here for a few days. Once everything falls into place in a few days, you’ll naturally be free,” Callum explained.

Madeline’s heart sank.
