The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1253

Zephyr suddenly gasped. At this moment, even if Riley didn’t continue her words, he could already think of something.

“Harriet immediately asked someone to cut off my finger and then flushed the ring and my finger down the toilet. Harriet said, ‘Riley, you’ll never have a chance to wear any wedding ring in your life!”” The corner of Riley’s lips curled upward more, and her gaze was filled with mockery.

Zephyr suddenly felt a pang of agony in his chest and thought, “So that was how Riley’s finger got broken!”

However, Zephyr didn’t know anything about it.

Anger and guilt surged through Zephyr’s body. He was mad that Harriet would do such a thing to her biological sister, Riley, but he also felt guilty because he had the opportunity to save Riley back then.

If Zephyr had investigated carefully back then, he would have found

something strange. However, at that time, he deliberately didn’t want anyone to mention anything about Riley.

Even though Zephyr hated Riley for her betrayal and for making him a joke in the whole city, he never wanted her to end up like that.

Riley placed her hand in front of Zephyr as if wanting him to have a clearer look.

“With me like this, do you still think I should tell everyone I’m a psychopath, that I brought it upon myself, the Summer family hasn’t done anything wrong to me, and Harriet made great efforts to find

a doctor to treat my disease over the years only I was able to restore my sanity?” Riley asked.

Zephyr couldn’t say a word for a second. Riley’s right hand seemed a hundred or a thousand times more awful than before.

“Zephyr, what I want is not money but justice for myself. Even if my life will be ruined, I must seek justice!” Riley enunciated each word clearly without hesitation.

However, Zephyr could hardly look away from Riley.

A scene of Riley’s smiling and saying, “Zephyr, what I want is not money but to be with you for life. Can you do that for me?” flashed in Zephyr’s

mind.

At that time, Zephyr replied without hesitation, “Yes. Riley, you’re the one and only wife in my life.”

However, now, Zephyr had broken his promise.

Zephyr didn’t give Riley the life she wanted.

Instead, Riley had to seek justice for herself. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Harriet was on the phone with Larissa “Mom, don’t worry. Zephyr promised he would help the Summer family. After all, he doesn’t want Hendrick to have a mother who has been in prison in the future. As long as Zephyr is willing to help, Riley won’t be able to do anything.”

“But, the Youngblood family in Strico seems to be helping Riley!” Larissa exclaimed worriedly.

“The Youngblood family is only powerful in Strico, and they have no place in Lommore to make decisions,” Harriet said.

A loud thud sounded at this moment, and someone kicked open the door and broke into the room.

Harriet was about to get angry but was stunned after seeing Zephyr’s dark face. “Zephyr, what’s wrong?”

“Did you cut off Riley’s finger because she wore the diamond ring I gave her before on that finger?” Zephyr asked sternly.

“I… I…” Harriet was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect Zephyr to question the matter on the spot. “Zephyr, did you hear Riley talk nonsense? She broke her finger when she abused herself. It has nothing to do with me!”

“It has nothing to do with you?” Zephyr’s face turned cold. “I dare you to say that to my face again.”

A trace of guilt flashed in Harriet’s eyes, and she said, forcing herself to calm down, “It really has nothing to do with me!”

Zephyr stared at Harriet with a sharp gaze. The next moment, he raised his hand and clasped Harriet’s right away, straightening her middle finger.

Harriet was shuddering, as if she had realized something was wrong. She suddenly shouted, “Don’t do this. Zephyr, I’m your wife. Would you rather believe the woman who betrayed you instead of me?”

Then, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, Harriet let out an anguished howl.

Harriet’s middle finger was broken just like that.

“Does it hurt?” Zephyr asked faintly.

Harriet grabbed her right hand and said, “W-Why? I’m your wife! Besides, Riley betrayed you. How could you break my finger because of her?” Harriet yelled sadly and indignantly.

“She betrayed me, but it doesn’t mean you can cut off her finger. I guess your pain now is just one- tenth of hers back then. If you weren’t my wife, do you think you can keep your finger?” Zephyr said coldly.

Harriet’s body suddenly trembled, and she thought, “Zephyr has never forgotten about Riley.”

“So, do you believe everything Riley said? I can’t believe you did this to me because of her. I’m the one who sincerely loves you!”

“Do you really think I didn’t check before I came? All the subordinates who cut off Riley’s finger with you back then already admitted it,” Zephyr stated.

Harriet’s heart skipped a beat. “I was just helping you to take revenge. Someone like Riley is not qualified to wear the ring you gave.”

Despite this, Zephyr looked at Harriet coldly, who was howling before him.

However, no matter how painful Harriet looked, Zephyr’s heart had no hint of emotions.

Undoubtedly, Zephyr didn’t love Harriet because who he loved from the beginning to the end was Riley, who betrayed him.

“I gave Riley the ring. Even if she doesn’t deserve it, I should take it back myself. I don’t need you to be a busybody and deal with her. Moreover, she was still my fiancée when you cut off her finger. Who gave you the right to cut off her finger?” said Zephyr.

He looked at Harriet condescendingly, and there was no hint of sorry or hesitance in his cold eyes.

Zephyr’s gaze was like a pot of ice water for Harriet, drenching her from head to foot and sending chills all over her body.

“What’s so good about Riley? Why can’t you forget her after she betrayed you like that? Why do you not care about me when I have loved you sincerely all these years?” Harriet shouted.

Zephyr was silent.

It was because Zephyr also wanted to ask himself why he couldn’t forget Riley.

In the next few days, a headline was released on the internet reporting the police had detained the doctors who diagnosed Riley with mental illness.

The police were further investigating the case.

Although the police didn’t reveal any further information, the news was all over the internet, accusing the Summer family.
