Chapter 109 The Money Counting Machine Is Ready
As Anastasia saw the name of the person Jonathan was calling, she immediately knew who was on the other end of the call. She had never seen such a passionate expression on his face.
Jonathan promptly drove back to Zenwood Gardens. Anastasia wanted to follow him but stopped in her tracks. In the hotel lobby, she gazed blankly in the direction he had disappeared.
After all, had she arrived too late? She touched the bruise on her cheek. She had come to Aquastead to participate in the National Jewelry Design Award.
Just an hour before she was supposed to leave, Anthony, who was drunk, found her and began to harass her. In their altercation, he ended up striking her. She deeply regretted her actions.
If it hadn’t been for everyone’s belief that Jonathan would fail in the power struggle within the Finches, she wouldn’t have turned to someone else.
If she had stayed steadfastly by his side back then, she would be Mrs. Finch by now. She wouldn’t have had to go through the trouble of seeking a divorce to make a new choice.
Now, even if she had a choice, it might be too late. A touch of melancholy filled her eyes. Her thoughts were in disarray, and she didn’t even notice when Miles approached her.
“Now that you’re here, why don’t you go after him?” he suddenly spoke.
He sat on the sofa next to her with his long legs crossed, radiating an air of detachment. Upon seeing him, Anastasia’s eyes showed a touch of respect.
“Miles.”
Both of them were adopted by Mr. Young Senior, but their statuses in the Youngs were quite different.
Miles said in displeasure, “Jonathan falls for a woman, but as the daughter of the Youngs, you have to fight for whatever you want.”
“Miles… What did he mean?
He clearly didn’t like her getting close to Jonathan. Why the sudden change in attitude?
Miles didn’t acknowledge her and continued, “You can fight for Jonathan, but one thing you must
remember, under no circumstances can you harm that woman.”
After speaking, he glanced at her and stood up to leave. Anastasia felt somewhat dazed. She had the feeling that Miles was intentionally warning her not to harm that woman.
Who was this woman? Her sense of crisis escalated. When Jonathan returned to Zenwood Gardens, he immediately looked for Rose in the house.
Rose had just finished her yoga session and was coming out of the bathroom when her star escort husband entered.
Their eyes met, and Jonathan’s gaze was inexplicably drawn down, inch by inch, as he took in the scene before him.
Sensing his gaze, Rose, whose face had been slightly flushed, remembered what she had heard on the phone earlier.
Her expression suddenly turned cold as she snapped, “What are you looking at?”

Jonathan raised the corners of his mouth, wearing an appeasing expression as he replied, “You look good.
His sincerity seemed genuine in his eyes. Annoyed, Rosepushed him out. After changing into a fresh set of clothes, she opened the door.
Her star escort husband had been waiting by the door the whole time and hadn’t left.
“Come in,” she said, casting him a glance with an unfriendly attitude.
But even so, the fact that she invited him into the room already made him happy. He wanted to seize this opportunity to show his charm.
Even if Rose didn’t like him now, she would gradually fall for him in the future.
However, when he entered, he saw her lifting a white cloth in the room, revealing a pile of banknotes stacked like a mountain. He was momentarily dumbfounded.
“This…”

“This is the money I owe you, over four million. Here’s a money–counting machine. Count it yourself. If the total is correct, then our agreement is considered fulfilled.”
Jonathan had only uttered one word before Rose interrupted him. After hearing her words, his face. darkened abruptly.
