Chapter 25 A Great Night
Jonathan was in Aquastead Hotel’s presidential suite.
He stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows and stared down dazedly.
Just moments ago, he spotted a familiar car pulling up outside the hotel. Rose and that man were in Aquastead Hotel as well.
He thought about Rose and that man doing something indescribable in a room. He felt extremely annoyed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. His bodyguard called out in an odd tone, “Mr. Finch, Mr. Lane’s… gift has arrived.”
Jonathan frowned.
A gift from Nixon Lane?
He felt even more annoyed now. He was about to tell the bodyguard to get lost, but he suddenly changed his mind.
“Hm,” Jonathan responded indifferently.
Hm?
The bodyguard felt nervous. Finley had been sent to deal with the Johnsons, so this bodyguard had no choice but to take Finley’s place.
However, he could not understand Jonathan’s thoughts. He could not figure out what Jonathan’s hum meant.
In a moment of uncertainty, the bodyguard gritted his teeth and opened the
door.
As soon as Kelly entered the room, she felt a chill running through her body. But when she saw the figure standing in front of the window, her heart heated
up again.
She smoothed the dress she was wearing. Nixon said that Jonathan probably liked red, so that was why he fell for Rose.
Therefore, Nixon prepared a red dress for Rose. He also bought Kelly a white
one.

He liked it when Kelly wore white. He said she looked like an innocent yet charming flower waiting to be plucked.
Since Nixon liked women like Kelly, she believed that Jonathan would like her as well.
“Mr…. Finch, Mr. Lane wants me to give you a present. My name is Kelly Shaffer. I-” Kelly’s gentle voice was laced with charm.
She had managed to seduce Nixon with the same innocent act back then.
But before she could finish speaking, Jonathan interrupted her coldly. “Kelly Shaffer? What is your relationship with Rose?”
Stunned, Kelly answered gently, “She’s my sister.”
Jonathan remembered now. He read about it in Rose’s files before. After
Rose’s mother died, her father married another woman.
Rose’s stepmother brought a daughter with her. This woman in front of him, must be that daughter.
“Turn around!” Jonathan said coldly.
His order left no room for refusal. Kelly dared not disobey him, so she immediately turned around. That being said, she did not give up on her attempt to seduce him.
She slowly took off her dress to reveal her pale back.
That was the scene Jonathan saw when he turned around. His eyes flashed with disgust. It was as if he had seen something utterly repulsive.
He grabbed the nearest blanket and tossed it at her.
The blanket landed on Kelly’s head. Kelly was so startled that she shrieked.
“Ahh!
In her panic, she stepped on a corner of the blanket. She tripped and fell onto the floor.
Jonathan sneered. He had a mocking look in his eyes. “So, you’re the gift from Nixon? Hah. It’s clear that when it comes to the art of seduction, you’re not even remotely close to your sister.”

And with that, Jonathan walked out of the suite without even looking back.
Left in the room, Kelly felt both embarrassed and mad.
It was Rose again. It was always her!
Kelly tried to figure out how things went awry for her.
She had asked someone to send the photo of Rose seducing a man to the Finch Building. Jonathan must have seen it.
But Jonathan said that she was no match for Rose.
Kelly ground her teeth as jealousy and viciousness mingled in her gaze.
So what if she could not win against Rose?
Everything that happened between Rose and Hank would be exposed -tomorrow. Rose’s reputation would be ruined.
Once that happened, Kelly refused to believe that Jonathan would still fancy Rose.
In Room 1801, Rose’s head felt heavy. Her body was so weak that she could barely stay conscious.
But she persisted. She dialed the unfamiliar number from before. “I’ve done it. Let her go right now. Immediately!”
The man on the other end of the line laughed sinisterly. “Alright. I’ll let her go right away. You should behave yourself. Have a great night!”
He hung up.
Rose had no energy to think about what that man’s last sentence meant. She immediately called Dawn.
The call went through in just a second. “Rose, I’m so sorry for dragging your
into this. Quick, leave this place at once. Boohoo… Rose …”
“Are you safe now?” Rose interrupted Dawn’s sobs.
Dawn was stunned for a moment. “Y–Yes.”
“Good.”
Rose relaxed. But she could not hold out any longer.
