The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 56
“It seems like he’s going to lose miserably,” Calvin remarked. As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of a figure glancing around the
banquet hall from the corner of his eye. “She’s here. Do you want me to introduce you?”
Jonathan followed Calvin’s gaze and suddenly smiled. “Loretta?”
“You know her?” Calvin asked, somewhat surprised. After all, Loretta and Jonathan were completely unrelated.
“Sort of,” Jonathan replied. “If you care about this new girlfriend of yours, make sure she doesn’t cause trouble. Otherwise, even
you might not be able to protect her.”
“Has she caused trouble for you?” Calvin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Jonathan.
“Do you think she’d be in one piece if she did? Although, in the future, it’ll depend on whether she’s smart enough,” Jonathan
retorted.
With that, Jonathan turned and left. Just then, Loretta spotted Calvin and hurried over.
“Calvin!” she called.
When she first entered the banquet, she saw many public figures she could only see on TV before. There were even quite a few
A–list
celebrities. For a C–list actress like her, it was unimaginable to find herself among them.
She knew that all of this was because of Calvin.
“You could’ve called me when you arrived. I’d have picked you up at the entrance,” Calvin said, raising a hand to help Loretta
tidy a few strands of stray hair by her cheek.
Loretta felt as though everything was a dream. She never thought she could be with this big shot in the entertainment industry.
It was said that Calvin was the scion of the entertainment industry. He could make anyone famous.
When Loretta was down and out on set, things suddenly turned around because of Calvin. Nearly everyone in the film crew
adored Loretta because Calvin took an interest in her. No one dared to offend her anymore. Even the lead actors, the director,

and the producers treated her respectfully.
This feeling was something she had never experienced before.
“I managed to find you, didn’t I?” Loretta smiled sweetly and took Calvin’s arm. “By the way, I saw many A–list celebrities today.
How lucky! I’ve never had a chance to see so many celebrities before. I wonder when I’ll be able to become like them.”
“That’s not difficult. I’ll ask someone to arrange for you to participate in a TV series and a few variety shows. Then you can
choose a script you like,” Calvin said casually.
Loretta was dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe her ears. Despite the amount of effort she put in previously, she still struggled to
secure any opportunities in a single variety show, let alone multiple!
“Then... What role would I be acting?” she asked blankly.
“Of course, you’d be the female lead. Don’t you want to?”
“No, I... I do,” Loretta was barely able to speak coherently. It was as if she had struck the lottery.
“Calvin, why do you treat me so well?” Loretta murmured.
Calvin smiled faintly, his fingers gently stroking Loretta’s lips.
Loretta flushed red. “Goodness gracious, there are so many people around!” she thought in embarrassment.
However, she was reluctant to push his hand away.
“Because your lips are beautiful. I like them very much,” he whispered.
“Are my lips beautiful?” Loretta was puzzled. After all, the lips were not a facial feature that would easily catch people’s attention.
As long as they were not unattractive, they all looked fairly similar.
Therefore, Loretta didn’t think Calvin would be drawn to her lips. Regardless, this was her lucky break.
She had to hold onto Calvin, become the most famous actress, and maybe even marry into a wealthy family so she could live a
completely different life from before.
It was as if Loretta had foreseen her beautiful future. However, she failed to notice that Calvin’s smile didn’t reach his eyes.

“By the way, do you know Jonathan?” Calvin suddenly asked.
Loretta shook her head for she had never met Jonathan.
Calvin pursed his thin lips. “Don’t cause any trouble in the future. I may
not be able to protect you if you mess with him,” he warned.
Of course, what was more important was whether he wanted to protect
her.
It just was not worth confronting Jonathan over a substitute. Calvin’s eyes dulled.
He thought, ‘I’ve been searching for so many years. How many substitutes do I need to find to suppress the desire in my body?
I really want to find that person and tell her how much I miss her!’
Zachary deliberately sought out Jonathan before his engagement ceremony. “Mr. Youngblood, it’s truly an honor that you could
attend my wedding with Yvette today.”
“It’s a given that I’d attend your engagement party,” Jonathan replied. “Speaking of which, it’s good that you broke up with
Rosalie. This way, she can truly give up on you. If you hadn’t left her back then, she’d probably still have her heart set on you.”
Zachary’s face was filled with embarrassment. He didn’t know how to
react.
“By the way, how long does your sister need to be hospitalized for this time?” Jonathan asked casually.
Zachary was surprised. “A month,” he quickly replied. “Although, it’ll take half a year for the injury to heal completely.”
He knew how his sister had gotten injured, but for now, he had to act like he had no idea.
“In that case, make sure she doesn’t go out too much during these six months. Let her stay at home to recover,” Jonathan said
indifferently.
“Okay. I’ll make sure my parents look after Zendaya and let her recover at home,” Zachary hurriedly responded.

Being pragmatic was Zachary’s biggest trait.
It was why he quickly broke up with Rosalie when she had an accident back then. However, it was also why he did not dare ask
more questions. now that his sister was in this situation.
“I’ll take my leave once your engagement ceremony is over. Rosalie is still waiting for me,” Jonathan informed.
Zachary had a feeling that Jonathan did not attend the engagement ceremony for the sake of his relationship with the Hamilton
family.
Instead, it was as if he was afraid there was still a possibility of a relationship between Zachary and Rosalie, so he wanted to
witness the engagement ceremony in person.
“Is Rosalie that important to Jonathan?” Zachary thought in disbelief.
“Did Jonathan ever value Melanie, his ex–fiancée, in the same way?”
