The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 832

Agyness suddenly felt like an invisible hand had slapped her across the face again. The pain and humiliation were even more acute than when Rosalie had struck her moments ago.

“I’m fine,” Rosalie replied.

Jonathan delicately caressed Rosalie’s palm with his fingers. “Tell me if you ever need to confront someone again. I don’t want you hurting your hand.”

Then, he glanced at her palm once more and remarked, “It’s a bit red.” Agyness couldn’t restrain herself from speaking. “M-Mr. Youngblood, I…” She couldn’t help but silently complain, feeling that her pain was more intense than Rosalie’s, and her face was even redder and more swollen after being struck.

Jonathan appeared to have just recalled Agyness’ presence. He cast a cold, indifferent glance in her direction.

“By the way, even though my wife has been absent from the Youngblood family for five-years, she remains its lady. You possess no authority to berate her. As for you, since when did the Youngblood family become your own? You’ve never been a part of this family. Don’t mistake it for your own.”

Jonathan’s icy tone and frigid stare left Agyness utterly speechless, Her voice quivered with sadness as she refuted, “But… my daughter, she… She is a member of the Youngblood family…”

“Wrenna is, indeed, the adopted daughter of the Youngblood family, but you are not one of us. You have no connection to the Youngblood family,” Jonathan asserted.

Agyness’ face, previously red and swollen, suddenly paled. “Does this imply that I’ve always been an outsider in this man’s eyes?” she wondered. Watching Jonathan gently hold Rosalie’s hand and rub her palm, Agyness couldn’t help but feel discomfort. The spot on her cheek that had been struck seemed to throb with even more pain.

“Mr. Youngblood, aren’t you concerned that Rosalie might tarnish the Youngblood family’s reputation? Once the reputation is marred, even a centuries-old family like the Youngblood family will be…”

But before she could finish her words, Jonathan interjected firmly, “As
