MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Chapter 15

Claire said coldly, “Why would I drop the case? Since you don’t think of me as your family, why should I treat you like mine?”

“You ungrateful swine, how can you let your grandma down?” Her aunt said gruffly.

“Whether or not I let grandma down is my business. At least I haven’t done anything wrong to you. Instead, it’s your husband and son who owe me for the things they did. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be locked up right now!”

Her aunt was so angry that she choked and couldn’t say a word.

Claire left the hospital on her own. Aunt wanted to chase.

after her, but Second Aunt stopped her. “Don’t mess with her. The big shot is protecting her, so we can’t afford to offend her. If she really gets angry, she’ll extend the sentences of our imprisoned family members. What will we do then?”

“How dare she!” Aunt shouted in rage.

“Hey, before you ask about whether she dares to or not, do you think you can go all out against her? By then, you will be arrested in the police station as well!” Second Aunt said.

Hearing this, Aunt shrank back. She was angry and scared, but she didn’t dare to chase after claire anymore.

Claire took a taxi and went back to Emerald City. She spent almost half of the night on the road, and by the time she returned to Emerald City, the sky was already starting to brighten.

She didn’t sleep all night. At five o’clock in the morning, she started sweeping the road again.

Anna looked at claire and said claire you didn’t sleep well last night? You are not in good spirits.”

“Mm,” claire responded half-heartedly, thinking about her grandma. Her uncle and the others wouldn’t be released even if she were to drop the case at the police station.

If she really wanted to release them, then isaac was the key!

When she thought of isaac  she felt a sudden tightness in her heart.

She had already rejected his request for her to stay by his side. He had clearly been angry when that had happened.

But now, was she going to go and beg him again? Will he agree?”

If he didn’t agree, then it would be difficult for her grandma to meet uncle and the others in the future. It was even possible that… her sons and daughter wouldn’t be there to see her off on her deathbed.

She knew that her grandma still cared about Uncle and the others! But because her grandmother didn’t want claireto be hurt, she deliberately didn’t plead in front of Uncle and the others.

Grandma wanted to get justice for her, but she could not accept it.

If she could untie the knot in her grandma’s heart and have her recover from this illness, she could give up on the justice she deserved!

At noon, claire held her cell phone and looked at the number on it. This number… was the number she had applied for after buying a phone for isaac.

She didn’t know whether he was still using the number.

Claire could only grasp at this last straw and make a call to this number.

The ringing tone kept on playing as she waited for the other side to answer, but no one did.

Claire was unwilling to give up and called him again a second time, and a third…

Meanwhile, several senior executives were in Mr. Landford’s office at that moment. They were quiet and their eyes were fixed on a cheap, old cell phone.

All the high-level managers in the company knew that isaac  had been carrying two phones with him recently. One was the cell phone he usually used, and the other one was this cheap, old-fashioned phone.

As for the origin of this phone, except for isaac only nathan  knew about it. However, every time they asked him about it out of curiosity, nathan would smile and refuse to say anything.

Therefore, these high-level executives had done a lot of speculation about this phone in private. In the past, when the phone rang, Mr. Landford had always picked it up without delay.

Today, however, the phone had been ringing for a very long time. Unexpectedly, Mr. Landford simply stared at the phone and did not pick it up. His handsome face was covered in a layer of frost.

The hearts of these executives couldn’t suppress their curiosity as they looked at Terrence.

Meanwhile nathan who was standing beside isaac also looked at the phone that had been ringing, and he was secretly worried in his heart.

Only claire would make a call to this phone.

However, since the day she had rejected isaac  like that nathan who had been working for his boss for many years, had been able to see that Mr. Landfords mood was extremely bad.

At that moment claire was calling, but Mr. Landford was not picking up. What did this mean?

“Has Mr. Landford stopped caring for claire.

No, nathan thought that Mr. Landford cared about claire even more than he had originally imagined.

If he had really stopped caring, he could have thrown the phone away. But even now, Mr. Landford had been bringing the phone with him. Did it mean that Mr. Landford couldn’t let claire go?

This was truly unexpected.

However, who would have thought that a man like Mr. Landford would actually take a fancy to claire Yet, she had rejected him.

Finally, after fifteen minutes, the phone stopped ringing.

Isaac  then looked up lazily and said to the executives in front of him, “Okay, you can continue with your report.”

A few of the executives shivered and then quickly continued their report.

Claire gritted her teeth as she stared at the phone in her hand. She had called five times, but no one had answered. “Had isaac … already cancelled the number?”

Then no matter how many times she called, no one would ever answer it.

Claire, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been on the phone all this time, and you didn’t eat either. The food is getting cold,” anna urged.

Anna, I… I have something to do. I want to leave at 3 p.m. I’ll clean up all the trash on the road first, but you may have to be a little busier than usual after I leave. Is that okay?” claire asked.

People like them who swept the road needed to coordinate with each other if they wanted to ask for leave. They needed to find someone who was willing to take their job, otherwise, they couldn’t excuse themselves.

“Why would I be not okay? When I asked for leave last time, you helped me do the work,” anna answered straight forwardly.
