Chapter 106 Taking You Somewhere
*Playing games like catching a cheater, that’s better left for you and Nixon.”
Rose coldly disconnected the call. Kelly didn’t expect this reaction from Rose. She looked toward the nearby figure of Jonathan and a woman.
The woman was none other than Anastasia. Anastasia had just arrived in Aquastead, and she to see him. Therefore, she called him as soon as she got off the plane.

“Jonathan, it’s been so long. Originally, I was supposed to come to the National Jewelry Design Award with my brother, but Anthony….
She took off her sunglasses and pushed her hair aside, revealing a bruise on her left cheek, clearly from a blow. Jonathan frowned.
“Since I filed for divorce, Anthony has been pestering me. In my heart…”
Anastasia gazed at him with affection, hoping to find a trace of compassion in his eyes. However, Jonathan only furrowed his brow and looked at her with an exceptionally calm expression.
After a pause, he coolly asked, “Where is it?”
If it weren’t for a call from his grandmother in Regalia, telling him that Anastasia had brought something for him, he wouldn’t have left Rose and rushed over here.
He checked the time; it was almost noon, nearing lunchtime. He still had to go to her company and have
lunch with her.
Anastasia was taken aback. A sense of disappointment welled up in her heart as she said, “Jonathan, are you still angry with me? You know, back then, I had no choice…”
“Where is it?” Jonathan urged.
Anastasia bit her lip and reluctantly took out a small box from her bag. She knew it contained a fire opal bracelet, which was part of the dowry her grandmother had given her.
Her grandmother had been concerned about her marriage, and she knew that she had hurt Jonathan. If she wanted to get closer to him, she could only make progress through Mrs. Finch Senior.
*Mrs. Finch Senior said this is the dowry she brought when she got married, and you can give it to
someone you care about.”
She had made up her mind; this time in Aquastead, she would capture Jonathan’s heart and obtain Mrs. Finch Senior’s dowry. However, at this moment, an image of Rose popped into Jonathan’s mind.
He opened the box, realizing the bracelet was a perfect fit for Rose.
“I’m leaving,” Jonathan said as he was eager to see Rose.
Anastasia’s heart tightened as she saw the gleam in his eyes. It was as if he was thinking of someone he loved. As he turned to leave, she hurriedly caught up. She stumbled in her haste.
Ah-
She was about to fall to the ground, but in her panic, she grabbed Jonathan’s arm. Her whole body. collided with his embrace.

Not far away, Kelly, full of resentment, witnessed this scene and immediately took out her phone to snap a picture.
“If you won’t come to see it, I’ll make you see it!”
She maliciously sent the photo to Rose. When Rose left the bank, she saw the picture that Kelly had sent. In the photo, a woman was leaning on her star escort husband’s chest. They seemed particularly close. The woman was elegantly dressed and exuded an otherworldly aura, like a high–born lady. She furrowed her brow, wondering if her star escort husband was up to his business again.
Feeling something clogging in her heart, she found her star escort husband’s number. In the next moment, she suddenly came to her senses. Should she call and confront him?
They were only in a contractual marriage, a business deal. What right did she have to question him? She took a deep breath and suppressed the unwarranted emotions in her heart as she put away her phone.
If he was back to his business, then the agreement should be coming to an end soon. On her way, she kept picturing her star escort husband’s image in her mind, and her mood plummeted.
At the entrance of Century Tower, she had just gotten out of the car when she saw her husband approaching.

His handsome face drew the attention of people around, but his eyes seemed to be focused solely on her. During this period, he had been particularly attentive to her, just like today.
“Come, I’ll take you somewhere,” Jonathan said as he took her hand with a natural motion, leaving her somewhat dazed.
Until she snapped back to reality, her star escort husband had already brought her to the rooftop of the
building.
Thinking of the photo she had seen earlier, she almost instinctively let go of his hand and said coldly. “H need to talk to you.
