The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 87

“Wait a minute…” Rosalie shivered at her thought. She stared at the man in astonishment and wondered how he knew the bracelet was with her. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

She had discovered it in her workwear pocket when she got off her late shift.

Yet, this man knew not only that the bracelet was with her but also where she lived, and even broke into her place silently.

She couldn’t help but wonder who on earth this man was and capable of such actions.

“What kind of reward do you want for finding this bracelet? As long as it’s not excessive, I can grant your request,” Calvin said, looking down at the woman in front of him.

Originally, he could have just taken the bracelet and left. However, when he saw her sleeping face, he decided to stay longer.

Perhaps he wanted to see how her eyes would look when they opened.

And now, as her eyes blinked open, he saw a pair of exquisitely beautiful almond-shaped eyes. Her pupils were pitch-black, and her eyes had a striking contrast of black and white. Her curled eyelashes added a touch of charm to her eyes.

However, the light that emanated from her eyes was strangely mature and not in line with her age.

It was as though she had weathered too much hardship, losing the vitality that should have been there and having resigned

to fate.

Rosalie didn’t know who this man before her was, but he seemed to exude a similar aura to Jonathan.

And now, she couldn’t afford to provoke such a kind of person.

“This bracelet just happened to fall into my workwear pocket. I can’t really be considered to have found it, so you don’t need to give me any reward,” Rosalie replied.

Calvin raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t expect that a woman who just lived in such a small room and worked as a street cleaner would straightforwardly decline the offer he wanted to give her.

“Even if the reward I want to give you could change your life, you still don’t want it?” he asked.

Rosalie couldn’t help but think of the words Jonathan had said to her in the past. They were indeed remarkably alike, both appeared capable of profoundly altering the lives of others.

But her life was something she didn’t want to be changed or controlled by others; she wanted to keep it in her own hands.

“No need. This bracelet is back to the original owner, and I didn’t do anything.” Rosalie insisted.

Calvin’s face darkened slightly. He leaned in closer to her face, his dark phoenix-like eyes scrutinizing her.

Rosalie instinctively grabbed the blanket covering her body tightly as she stared at the man before her.

She had no idea who this man was or what he intended to do, but he had silently entered her room on this late night. Even if he truly had any bad intentions, she doubted she could do anything to stop him.

The two of them continued their silent standoff, and after a while, the man’s cold and indifferent voice broke the silence, “Are you saying this because you want more benefits? Are you playing hard to get?”

She was stunned at his questions. “I don’t have the ability to play hard to get, and besides, I don’t even know who you are. You’ve got the bracelet now, can you leave? I have to go to work early in the morning and was hoping to get another two hours of sleep.”

He slowly straightened up, and his long fingers traced the small silver bracelet in his hand. His gaze landed on her face as he parted his thin lips and said, “I am Calvin. Now you know who I am.”

Rosalie had heard of Calvin’s name.

After all, Calvin was powerful in the entertainment industry. The Gunner family controlled numerous businesses in the entertainment industry. There were even rumors that in the entertainment industry if Calvin wanted someone to be famous, They would be famous. If he wanted to ruin someone’s career, that person would never make it in the industry again.

Calvin’s influence in the entertainment industry was unparalleled.

Rosalie had heard of Calvin when she was dating Zachary. Although the Xanthos family was considered a prominent family in Strico, they were inferior compared to the Gunner family.

Zachary was naturally not qualified to associate himself with Calvin.

As for the other rumors about Calvin, she had heard those from the gossip-loving women in the Environment and Sanitation Administration. They claimed he was cold and difficult to get along with but had a string of girlfriends. Furthermore, he had a track record of elevating each of his previous girlfriends to fame during their relationships. And once they broke up, he would sever all ties without hesitation. This had often earned him the reputation of being ruthless

However, though Calvin was powerful in the entertainment industry, he was not a two-timer. When he was with a woman, regardless of how brief the relationship might be, he remained faithful during that time.

This was one reason why he had never faced significant backlash online.

After all, everyone involved was an adult, and their relationships were consensual. In fact, all the women who had been with. him had benefited from him a lot.

Therefore, countless women dreamed of being in a relationship with Calvin. They envisioned the benefits of being showered with affection by such a handsome man. Even if the relationship turned out to be brief, it would be as dazzling as fireworks!

Rosalie didn’t expect that Calvin would break into her rental home at midnight. And to her surprise, he had intruded for the sole purpose of retrieving an inconspicuous silver bracelet.

It seemed that this silver bracelet held great importance to him.

“Sigh. Mr. Gunner broke up with Rainie again. Rumor has it that he’s now dating a third-rate celebrity now.” While Rosalie was returning the cleaning tools, the young women at the Environment and Sanitation Administration were gossiping about Calvin once again.

“Who’s that third-rate celebrity? She actually defeated Rainie?”

“It hasn’t been revealed yet. Maybe it’ll take some time. But Rainie was considered lucky. If it weren’t for dating Mr. Gunner, she wouldn’t have had such an easy time making it to the A-list. She’s really hit the jackpot.”

“I really wish I could meet Mr. Gunner someday. If he were to take an interest in me, even if it was just for one night, I would be happy!”

“You’re dreaming.”

Several girls chatted and giggled about the gossip.

Rosalie had no idea how these girls would react if they found out she had met Calvin in the middle of the night.

“Rosalie, what’s wrong with you? Yulissa asked.

“Nothing.” She came back to her senses and returned her equipment. Then, she changed out of her workwear.

However, when she changed into her regular clothes, she couldn’t help but glance at the scar that had formed on her right palm. It was a reminder of that New Year’s Eve when she had gripped a shard of mirror to keep herself awake. Thankfully, she hadn’t damaged any tendons in the process.
