As Rose left Astra Law Firm, her mind was in turmoil. She could not stay calm at all.Louie said that Celeste had left a secret will. The will would only be revealed after Rose inherited Celeste Jewels.Through her will, Celeste had arranged everything beforehand. It was as if she knew that something would happen to Rose.The secret will gave Rose even more reason to suspect the accident. She knew there had to be more to it.While Rose was deep in her thoughts, her phone rang with a call from her best friend, Yvonne.As soon as the call connected, Yvonne asked concernedly, "Rose, are you okay? I'm so sorry. The dance troupe has been having rehearsals the past few days, so my phone got confiscated."I just heard about what happened to you. How could Maya do this? She keeps spreading the gossip everywhere! If I'd been there, I would've sewn her mouth shut!"The alumni group was buzzing over the news. Everyone now knew that Rose had a one-night stand with a stranger and had been dr

Half an hour later, Rose and Evan rushed into Aquastead Hotel.Nixon and Kelly, who were already waiting there, spotted them right away.When Kelly saw Evan, she became insanely jealous of Rose again.Keeping up her usual innocent act, Kelly commented, "I'm so envious of Rose. She's so beautiful. She always has a man beside her."Nixon's eyes flashed ferociously as he made a call. "There's a man with her. Get her to shake him off."In the hotel lobby, Rose received another call from that unfamiliar number. "Get rid of the person beside you!"Rose knew the caller was targeting her.She did not have any enemies besides Nixon. It seemed like she had not kicked him hard enough.Rose turned around with a smile and said to Evan, "Thanks for bringing me here, Evan. I'm going to meet an old friend now. You should go back."Evan did not believe her.He was about to say something when Rose stuck out her tongue mischievously. "Sorry, Evan. It wasn't an old friend. I'm meeting … my husba

Rose felt weak and unbearably hot. She was all too familiar with this sensation.Unlike last time, when she could still choose for herself, she feared she would not be getting a choice this time."Hehe. You're here, sweetheart …"Suddenly, a perverted voice rang out.Rose looked up to see a bald and paunchy old man with only a towel covering the lower half of his body.That wretched Nixon!Rose could not resist cursing. She could not believe he found a man like that to harass her!Hank did not care that Kelly was not in the room. His eyes lit up when he saw Rose, who was way prettier than Kelly. His lusty heart began to thump wildly.Rose gritted her teeth. Just as he was about to lunge at her, she used all her strength to duck under his arm. Dashing into the bathroom, she shut the door and locked it.Hank's expression instantly changed. He tried to coax her with a suggestive voice, "Why did you close the door, pretty lady? Hurry up and open it. Let's have some fun together …"

Inside the room, the deed was done.Jonathan stood in front of the window after he got dressed. He seemed to be in a good mood.He sent Finley a message asking the latter to prepare a set of women's clothes and bring them to the hotel.Then, he turned around. His back was to the window.Jonathan had a smile on his face as he stared leisurely at Rose, who was lying in bed.Rose blushed under his passionate gaze. She glared at him. Suddenly, she detected a problem. She had taken the initiative last night, so it made sense that she should pay him for it.But just now, he was the one who initiated. She was not the one who asked for it. So, he should not be asking her to pay for what just happened.She would not pay any more than she was supposed to.Clearing her throat, Rose readied herself to conduct the negotiations. But before she could speak, the door abruptly flew open."Rose?"Evan dashed in. He saw Rose on the bed with only her arms and head above the blanket. He knew ri

Jonathan's heart missed a beat.He was worried that his identity would be exposed.But Rose assumed the Mr. Finch she wanted to avoid was behind them. Cursing under her breath, she grabbed Jonathan's hand and walked faster.She even chanted as she walked, "Don't let him see me … Don't let him see me …"The hotel manager who had been left behind had just finished giving his long apology. When he looked up, there was no one in front of him. He was bewildered.Dragging Jonathan with her, Rose walked a fair distance before she felt safe. Finally, she stopped walking.Rose glanced at the row of luxury cars. She exhaled in relief when she did not see the man she feared."Whew! Good thing he didn't see us. Listen, if you ever hear the words 'Mr. Finch,' you'd better run away at once, understand?""Huh? Oh. Okay." Jonathan frowned as he stared at Rose with a thoughtful expression.Meanwhile, Finley had caught up to them. He was about to ask Jonathan if he should drive the car over, bu
