The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1243

Through Zephyr, Riley met Nicholas. However, she never expected Nicholas to fall in love with her. Nicholas never confessed, and Riley remained oblivious.

Riley thought she’d happily marry Zephyr but faced relentless doubts.

The Scott family especially looked down on Riley.

Even once, at the banquet of the Scott family, a relative of the Scott family questioned Riley in front of everyone. The relative asked how someone like her who had been in prison could marry Zephyr, pointing out Lommore was filled with high-society ladies with better

backgrounds. Despite being the miss of the Summer family, Riley had a past that couldn’t be ignored.

To make matters worse, this relative even weaved a hypothetical tale about female inmates turning to unsavory professions behind bars, subtly insinuating that Riley

have been involved in such activities.

It all seemed utterly absurd.

Riley refuted every claim made by that relative, standing her ground. Yet, her rebuttals triggered a backlash from a group of the Scott family

relatives.

Riley engaged in a verbal duel with them, holding her own and rendering them speechless.

However, there was no joy in Riley’s victory, only a profound sense of loss. Zephyr, the man who claimed his love for Riley at the cost of his life, hadn’t uttered a single word in Riley’s defense from start to finish.

Leaving the banquet, Riley found solace near a food cart, drowning her sorrows. Yet, she met Nicholas, who had been finding her after hearing what happened at the banquet.

Tears welled up unconsciously in Riley’s eyes when Riley saw Nicholas.

Riley didn’t expect that the first person to find her was Nicholas, not Zephyr.

Nicholas wiped away Riley’s tears recklessly. Seeing that Riley was drunk, Nicholas wanted to send her back.

However, when they reached the entrance of the Summer residence, they
