MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Chapter 14

Alexis realized that pleading with Blake wasn’t working, so she turned to claire and said, “I was wrong just now. Please forgive me… Please… Please help me put in a few good words with Blake. I’m begging you. Now that Brian dotes on you so much, he will agree to whatever you say.”

What she was afraid of was not that claire might slap her again, but Blake's displeasure. She was scared that after the slap, she might be completely blacklisted within the entertainment circle.

Claire looked at alexis and said, “You have mistaken me for someone else. I am not Blake's current girlfriend, so I can’t ask him for anything.”

After that, she raised her head to look at Blake and said, “She slapped me, and I slapped her back. We’re even now, so I don’t need to hit her anymore.”

“Is that so?” Blake said faintly. There was no joy or anger in his voice.

“Mr. Will I have also joined to today’s meal. Thank you for treating me. I want to go home early, so I will have to leave first,” claire continued. After saying this, she walked past him and left.

Blake looked at claire departing back before he turned around and looked at the pale-faced alexis.

At that moment, alexis eyes were full of tears, and she looked as though she was about to start crying at any second. Her originally beautiful face seemed to have become pitiful because of her panic.

Blake raised his hand and brushed alexis eyes with his finger. You’re going to cry?”

“blake, I just love you too much and I don’t want to lose you. I know that I was being impulsive today. I… I will never do this again in the future,” alexis said hurriedly.

“You love me too much?” Blake replied indifferently.

“Yes… Yes, I love you. I really love you. Blake you are the only man I have ever loved in my life. Let’s not break up, okay?”

Alexis uttered her words one by one. Her voice was mixed with slight sobs and droplets of tears were falling down her cheeks, moving the hearts of the people who were still around.

However, there wasn’t the slightest hint of emotion on Blake’s face. He only spat in a cold voice, “But I’ve never loved you.”

Alexis’s body turned stiff and his voice continued to ring in her ears as he said, “I don’t like women who like causing scenes.”

This simple sentence made alexis body tremble even more. He had once had an ex-girlfriend who had come to him to make trouble. She had heard him talk about that person herself.

After that, it could be said that the troublemaking ex-girlfriend had disappeared from the entertainment industry. All news related to her was directly censored by her company, and she was rejected by all of the directors when applying for shoots. Later, she had heard that the woman had accumulated a lot of debt and eventually fled abroad.

As for how she was doing now, she did not know, but she knew that things couldn’t be going too well for her.

“If it was her, she wouldn’t have cried.”

He had suddenly blurted out such a sentence, and she didn’t know how to react for a second.

When her fear reached a certain level, she couldn’t help but shout, “Who is it? Who is that woman?! Blake the only person you love is ‘her’, right? But you’ll never be able to get ‘her. If you don’t care about other people’s feelings, then sooner or later, ‘she’ will also stop caring about your feelings!”

Blake suddenly stopped and turned around. He stared at alexis with his sharp eyes. At that moment, there was a bone-chilling frost in his usually cold eyes. He only gave her a glance before turning to leave.
Alexis suddenly fell to the ground.

Blake's gaze earlier made it seem as though he wanted to kill her.

She knew that she was completely doomed!

Claire walked out of the restaurant. After feeling the cold wind on her skin, the burning sensation on her cheek eased up a little.

Tonight had just been a farce.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a relative from her mother’s hometown calling. When she picked up, the relative immediately told her that her grandma had been hospitalized.

Claire your uncles and aunt, as well as your cousins are still being detained. According to the police, they will be sentenced to many years in jail if they go to court. If that happens, your grandmother won’t even have anyone to see her off!”

Basically, they wanted claire to head to the police station to drop the charges and have the police release her detained relatives.

“Even if it’s just for your grandmother’s sake, you should let them out!” the relative said. “Besides, no matter what, we are still relatives. We shouldn’t go too far!”

Claire thought it was ridiculous. This relative of hers, why didn’t they talk about how her uncle and the others had tried to trick her?

Now, the only family that she recognized was her grandmother.

After the call ended, claire hailed a taxi and fold to head to the address of the small county town where her relatives were.

“Young lady, it’s already so late; it’s going to cost you an extra 300 to get there!” the driver said.

“I know, go ahead and drive,” said claire No matter how much it cost, she was going to get to the hospital to see her grandmother.

When claire arrived at the hospital and saw her grandmother lying on the sickbed with a tube attached to her body, she felt a tingling sensation in her nose. Her grandmother, who had been her only support, was now so weak. Her wrinkled face looked ashen as if her life was about to come to an end at any time.

Her grandma had never told her about how her physical conditions had been deteriorating to such an extent.

“What are you doing here? It’s all your fault! You’re the one who caused my mother to be like this!” The moment her aunt saw her, she cursed emotionally, as if she was going to pounce on her and tear her apart.

Her uncle quickly held her sister-in-law back and begged claire, you… why didn’t you tell us that you’d gotten close with a big shot? This wouldn’t have happened otherwise.

We were only trying to marry you off to the Miller family for your own good. We wanted you to have someone to rely on for the rest of your life!”

Aunt’s words were nothing more than her trying to justify Uncle and the others’ actions and clear their names.

However, no matter what they had been saying at that moment, claire acted as if she hadn’t heard them at all. She only stared at her grandmother lying on the hospital bed.

She only cared about her grandma.

Suddenly, her grandma’s mouth seemed to move as if she was stuttering something while in a coma.

When claire put her head close to her grandma’s lips, her body suddenly froze. The words that came out of her mouth were the names of her uncle, second uncle, and third aunt.

Claire silently straightened her body and walked out of the ward. Uncle and Second Uncle followed her and wanted to make her promise to drop the case.
