Chapter 21 Give Her to Uncle Jonathan
Rose wanted to go after the man, but she had just taken a step forward when. Kelly grabbed her wrist.
Kelly also spotted the figure, and she knew it was Jonathan!
She wondered if Rose was about to flirt with Jonathan. If that was the case, she was not going to let Rose get the chance to do so!
For a moment, the two were stuck together. Kelly finally let go when the man disappeared.
Then, Kelly confronted Rose tauntingly, “Do you seriously think he fell for you? Even if he did, he couldn’t possibly marry you!”
Rose was confused. She did not know why Kelly was saying that her star escort husband could not possibly marry her. They were already legally married!
It was merely a transactional marriage, but Rose was not about to tell Kelly the real situation.
Rose glanced at Nixon, who was still in extreme pain. She cocked her eyebrows and sneered, “Aren’t you going to check on your precious Nixon? If he becomes impotent, what are you going to use to keep him hooked?”
“Why, you-” Kelly could hear the mockery in Rose’s words.
But Rose ignored Kelly and walked out of Century Tower.
Kelly was filled with rage. She glared viciously at Rose.
In the end, Kelly took Nixon to the hospital to get it checked.
According to the diagnosis at the hospital, Nixon would not be losing that part. of his body. However, there was no telling whether or not he would end up impotent.
Still suffering from excruciating pain, Nixon lay on the hospital bed and gritted his teeth. He sorely wished he could just kill Rose.
His phone rang. It was a call from the project manager who was asking him for money. Nixon switched off his phone in annoyance.

He had to gather the funds urgently, but he had lost all hope of getting Celeste Jewels.
All of a sudden, Nixon remembered what Mrs. Lane Senior said last night.
His expression grew sinister. “Since Rose has stopped me from getting Celeste Jewels, I will make her pay for it with her body!”
Kelly did not understand what he meant. “Nixon, are you regretting what happened? I know that Rose is better than me…”
“Her?” Nixon sneered. “She can’t even hold a candle to you, but Uncle Jonathan seems to fancy her. Since he likes her, why don’t I offer her to him?”
He figured that once Jonathan was pleased, the latter would help him with his funding crisis.
Nixon saw Kelly biting her lip and trembling slightly. Immediately, he pulled her into his arms and comforted her.
“Don’t worry, Kelly. You’re the only one in my heart. I love you. I’ll take good care of you.”
“Okay.”
Kelly was secretly pissed. She could not believe that Nixon wanted to give. Rose to Jonathan.
Why was it Rose, of all people?
Kelly was consumed by jealousy, but she dared not let it show in front of Nixon.
“Would Rose be willing to do it?”
“It doesn’t matter whether or not she’s willing. I have my ways of forcing her to offer herself up to him.”
Nixon brimmed with confidence. After he finished speaking, he took out hist phone and made a call.
“Help me kidnap someone and put on a show. As usual, you’ll be paid once it’s done.
Kelly clenched her jaw. She would have been pleased to see Nixon giving Rose to any other man, but not Jonathan.
She thought about that photo Maya had taken. She had wanted to pass the photo to Jonathan last night, but unexpectedly, Jonathan left early.
Kelly was furious. After excusing herself to the bathroom, she had that photo delivered.
After leaving Century Tower, Rose could not see her husband anywhere.
A row of luxury cars passed by in front of her. Rose remembered that there had also been a row of luxury cars outside Harmony Hospital..
But she did not dwell on that thought.
Rose went to Astra Law Firm. She talked to the lawyer in charge of her mother’s will, Louie Grant.
When Louie saw Rose, he was stunned. “Such a resemblance…”
With a peculiar feeling in her heart, Rose smiled and said, “Mr. Grant, you must be joking. Everyone who knows my mom said that I have her eyes, but nothing else.
“I’ve been thinking about it. I don’t look like my dad either. Do you think I was adopted?”
Louie was stunned for a moment, but he soon regained his composure.
“You must be joking too, Rose. When you were born, I was the one who sent. your mom to the hospital. How can you be adopted?”
Louie and Celeste were good friends, and he spent a lot of time playing with Rose when she was young.
But after Celeste passed away, Louie seemed to be avoiding something. As al result, Rose rarely saw him anymore after that.
“I’m married.”
Rose explained her reason for coming.
“I want to enforce my mother’s will, but my dad won’t see me. I’m not sure if he will hand over Celeste Jewels to me.”

Jamie even blocked her number, so she could more or less gauge his feelings
about this.
A grave look appeared on Louie’s face. After a brief moment of silence, Louie stared at Rose and spoke solemnly.
“I’ll help you, but… have you truly decided to inherit everything your mom left behind? In reality, apart from this will, your mom had another secret will.”
