MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 44 Continue

They would never have expected that one day, claire would be falsely convicted, subjected to all kinds of horrors in prison, and left to take the only job she could find as a street sweeper.

The last insult from audrey… having to dig through garbage for hours, it was too much!

“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”claire could not help but sigh as Lexi shook her head and frowned. “Hey, I’m fine. Really. It’s just some garbage.” A small smile played on claires lips. “Besides, if the social media sites are anything

to go by audrey is the one to pay the price for it. People hate her for

what she’s done. It’s an affront on common people, it seems.”

“It’s not enough claire .audreyhas gone overboard. It is one thing for her family to find someone to deal with you in prison. However, they continue to create such difficulties even after you’ve been released.” Lexi huffed indignantly.

Claire remained silent. Back then, she had suffered a lot in prison. Part of it had come from those who wanted to please landford.

Corporation, and the rest had come from those who had been bribed by the beckett family.

She bore scars from their efforts. Some of those scars would never heal…

“In the beckett family’s opinion, I was the one who caused irish death,”claire said after a long time. She’d expected them to resent her. It was a tragedy.

It was just that before audrey had given the order to pull out her nails in prison, she had never known that people could be so vicious!

“In my opinion, compared to her sister’s death, she would probably have been happier if you had been the one to pass away.” Lexi’s furious expression had yet to fade. “When you were sentenced back then, it wasn’t even a month before audrey and Sean got together. With that speed, I don’t believe that audrey didn’t have any feelings for lewis in the past.”

“This shows that the relationship between lewis and me in the past was insignificant. I know that now. And so does the whole world. When I needed him most, he abandoned me and sided

with the people trying to persecute me.”

“It was an accident!”

“I know claire allowed. “But you were there in the courtroom. The evidence. The way they painted me. It didn’t matter that what they said wasn’t true. In reality, Lily did me a favor.”

“How’s that?” Lexi was incredulous.

“By showing me who my true friends really are.”

Lexi's eyes were misted with tears.
Claireclasped her hand and squeezed. “You’ve been a good friend to me. I hope you know how much I love and appreciate you.”

“Stop! You’re going to make me cry! It’s what any person would’ve done.”
Claire laughed bitterly. “Any person, like say, my parents and half-sister? Or my other friends and work colleagues? Or, I know,

what about lewis? The man who’d vowed to love me forever.”

Lexi whistled. “Wow. Okay, when you put it like that…I am a superior human being.”

They both laughed.

“Soo,” Lexi allowed. “We’ve established the shitty people in your life. Let’s talk about the good ones.” She steepled her hands and

rested her chin on them. “How are you getting along with that

new younger brother? Do you really intend to live with him like this

forever?”

“Mm claire said, nodding. “If isaac is willing to stay with me, I would be very content with the arrangement.”

“If it were someone who didn’t know, they would think that you

two were dating and living together.” lexi asked worriedly, “What about him? He doesn’t have any improper intentions toward you, does he?”

“No,” she said. However, for some reason, when she thought of his dark eyes and strong body, her heart seemed to beat faster

once more.

“Hey, you…” Lexi looked at the red flush on her good friend’s face and said in surprise, “Don’t tell me that you’re interested in him!”

“No claire denied. “Lexi, you know, I’ve experienced so many things. Even when I was in prison, I… I don’t intend to be

interested in anyone. Those things aren’t in the cards for me.”

When the matter of prison was brought up, Lexis face darkened.

“Hey, maybe we can consult a doctor again, maybe-”

“No, since I don’t intend to get married, there’s no point in consulting one,” she said.

While she was in prison, she had been beaten up so brutally, that

she suffered internal hemorrhaging. Her uterus was damaged. Although she had recovered after surgery, if she were to get pregnant in the future, she would be facing much higher risks than an ordinary person would. If she could conceive at all.

Even the doctor had once advised her not to get pregnant in the future. The complications could prove fatal for both her and her baby.

But claire had no intention of bringing a baby into this world.

What kind of life could she provide for her child? A simple existence in a shitty little apartment? And what of the stigma her baby would bear as the child of ‘an ex-convict’? She knew how

cruel people could be and she would never do that to an innocent

baby.

Lexi’s heart ached for her good friend, but she did not know how

to comfort her. She could only change the topic and say, “By the way, that younger brother of yours after all, he was a stranger before. And I’m not saying this to take away from your happiness -you deserve only the best things!-but when you talk about lewis and your dad and our friends… they all knew you. This guy is a total stranger. Who’s to say he won’t someday change? Just be careful. ok?”

“I will,”claire said. “However, even if I don’t know much about Jay, there’s one thing I’m certain of. No matter what, he will not

harm me.”

Lina was glad to see the smile on Grace’s face, but inside, Lina

was panicked.
Claire had walled herself off from everyone, except for this young man who was now living with her. She cared about him, deeply.

It’s like she took all the emotion and affection she couldn’t give to anyone else and lavished it on him.

If isaac were to hurt her… Lexi wasn’t sure claire would survive it.

Audrey had been wading through the pool of the landford family for almost a whole night before she finally found isaac s ring.

She was on the verge of collapse and hypothermia when she was taken to the hospital. She even had to get an IV drip. Of course, when she got hooked up to the drip in the hospital, she did not forget to let her agent take photos and post them on the Internet to gain sympathy.
