"So, why do you want to find him?" Jonathan asked, his voice laced with frustration.A chill emanated from him, sending shivers down Rose's spine. She didn't have time to ask him what was bothering him as she explained, "Of course, to retrieve the couple rings. I heard that the rings were auctioned, and I want to keep them for myself. I need to stop them from signing the contract."Jonathan scoffed and said, "It's just a pair of rings. What's the big deal?""How could it not be a big deal!" Rose's immediate instinct was to keep those rings. It wasn't because of her design, but rather the strange feeling she had developed when she saw the finished product.The host mentioned that someone had turned her design into a finished product. While she hadn't confirmed it, she was certain that the person was her star escort husband. She glanced at Jonathan.Their marriage had been nothing but a transaction, but she still wanted to keep something. With the one-month deadline approaching,
Chelsea was so scared that she immediately hung up the phone."What happened?" Jamie asked worriedly.Chelsea knew all too well what the gasping sounds from the call meant. She absolutely couldn't let Jamie know what Kelly was like in private.Hence, she lied to him, "I still can't reach her. What should we do? If something happens to Kelly, it's all because of Rose!"As she thought about how Rose had ruined Kelly's reputation and future, she grew increasingly resentful. She immediately started crying. Jamie's expression darkened. He had ordered the creation of a car accident and used the online trolls to suppress Rose's public image in an attempt to ruin her and prevent her from inheriting Celeste Jewels. However, Rose had unexpectedly won the championship and her reputation had skyrocketed."Rest assured, if something happens to Kelly, I'll make sure that Rose lives a fate worse than death," he said with full determination.Chelsea bit her lip as she thought about the gaspi
Aquastead General Hospital. Early in the morning, a bouquet was delivered to the hospital room. Rose saw the name on the card's signature."Ezra?"As Jonathan entered the hospital room, he heard her calling Ezra's name. His face instantly darkened as he swiftly walked up to her and took the card from her hand. Then, he threw it into the trash can along with the flowers. Rose was left bewildered. Suddenly, she recalled Ezra's face, which bore a striking resemblance to her star escort husband. She was about to ask something when Jonathan's phone rang. Realizing it was a call from Ezra, he decisively hung up the call. One minute later, Ezra sent a text message."I'm right outside the hospital. Do you need me to come up and see you? Also, should I meet Rose?"A hint of sharpness gleamed in Jonathan's eyes. He walked out of the hospital room and made a phone call. Within moments, someone answered."Bro ..."Outside, in a red Ferrari, Ezra's amorous eyes sparkled with a smile. What
Kelly wanted to grab Rose's hand, but she recoiled in disgust. A fleeting trace of hurt appeared on Kelly's face, but she quickly feigned indifference. She turned to Maya, who had accidentally bumped into Rose a moment ago, and said, "Maya, please apologize to Rose."Maya stared at Rose with disdain as she said, "Rose? Oh, it's Ms. Flora, isn't it? I'm sorry; I just happened to be walking by and didn't see you getting out of the car. You're not mad at me, are you?"In reality, she had made a bet with Mandy and the others nearby. If she could knock Rose to the ground and embarrass her, they would all play matchmaker for her with the handsome guy she had her eye on. Jackson had eventually dumped her; she considered it Rose's fault. Her eyes revealed a simmering hatred as she approached Rose, intending to teach her a lesson. Rose had recently recovered from a car accident, and Maya didn't believe she could do anything to her. However, Rose saw through her intentions at a glance.
Rose fixed a gaze upon the person sitting across from her, a hint of disgust lurking in her eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Nixon suddenly grabbed her hand. She instinctively jerked her hand away and splashed a glass of water onto his face."Rose, you ..." Nixon seethed. "I see you're jealous, aren't you? You're envious that Kelly is marrying me, but you dare not vent your anger on her. You're afraid of exposing your true nature to others."Jealous? Rose had just taken a step forward but halted abruptly. She turned slowly to face and stare at him as if he were a fool. "Envious of a scoundrel like you? Marrying you is nothing to be jealous of."Nixon did not react with anger to being called a scoundrel. He believed Rose had married someone else as revenge on him, making it impossible for him to acquire Celeste Jewels. For some time now, he had been struggling to fill the financial hole of the projects. It was all because of Rose. Now, he was marrying Kelly, who would brin
Kelly took out the photo she had taken outside the restaurant that day. In the picture, Miles gazed deeply at Rose. From a specific angle, Rose lowered her head slightly with a hint of shyness and allure.Nixon's eyebrows furrowed instantly as he wondered who was the man in the picture. His attire and demeanor marked him as anything but an ordinary person."Nixon, that day I happened to see Rose with this man; they seemed quite intimate. I took the picture, intending to use it to advise her later. After all, she's already married. Her involvement with another man like this isn't right. But ... I later found out that this man is Mr. Miles from the Youngs in Regalia … That day, during the National Jewelry Design Award, Mr. Miles also helped Rose set me up. Why does Rose always receive so much favor from others since childhood?"Upon hearing the words "Mr. Miles from the Youngs", Nixon was visibly taken aback. However, upon seeing Miles's expression as he stared at Rose in the photo, a
"So, you must provide this 500 million dowry." Jamie's tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation. Rose seemed to find it the most absurd joke she had ever heard."Is Kelly helping me fulfill my engagement?" she asked.The words were so preposterous that she wouldn't have believed them if she hadn't heard them from Jamie himself. Nevertheless, these words came genuinely from his mouth.The situation was that she had been cheated by Nixon and Kelly. In an instant, anger surged through her mind. She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Then why don't you ask her and Nixon how many times they've slept together behind my back all these years?""Smack!"Rose had just spoken when a resounding slap landed on her face. The stinging pain radiated through her.Jamie stared at her with a stern look as he said, "You're the one who's shamelessly fooling around with men. Yet, you dare to slander your sister?"Rose's heart couldn't help but ache even though it was already filled with sc
Inside the elevator, Kelly was seething with anger as she stared at Rose's retreating figure. With graceful strides, Rose exited the hotel and was about to hail a taxi when she received a call from Evan."Rose, there's a celebration dinner for the National Jewelry Design Award tonight. Mr. Miles would like to invite you."The National Jewelry Design Award had ended several days ago, and the celebration dinner had been scheduled earlier. However, due to Rose's hospitalization, Miles had deliberately postponed it."Mr. Miles ..."During the competition, both Evan and Miles had helped her immensely. Feeling the need to express her gratitude in person, she readily agreed, "Sure. What's the time and the venue? I'll be there on time.""Tell me your location, and I'll send a driver to pick you up."On the other end of the phone, Evan instinctively asked after recalling Rose's "contractual husband", "Are you alone?"Su Ran hesitated for a moment as she didn't grasp his intention.
