Chapter 64 Was It a Coincidence
“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 deall”
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, she was starting to feel irritated.
“At least it’s my design, and it’s been through a car accident with me. It has extraordinary meaning as a wedding ring.”
“A wedding ring?”
Her suggestion seemed quite reasonable. Jonathan’s mood began to ease, and his lips were about to curve into a smile. Just then, Rose poured cold water on him.
“Most importantly, I can’t let that scoundrel Mr. Finch get his hands on it. I can’t let him flaunt it in front of some girl.” Rose felt displeased as he thought of “Mr. Finch.”
Jonathan’s half–smiling lips froze in place. After awhile, he stared at her with an extremely displeased expression.
“Then you might be disappointed,” he said coldly.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“The rings are already in Mr. Finch’s hands.”
Rose couldn’t believe it.
“How do you know?”
Jonathan raised an eyebrow and cruelly extinguished her hopes.
“I was present when they signed the contract. I watched them hand over the rings to Mr. Finch.
“Furthermore, Mr. Finch plans to flaunt the rings in front of some girl.”
Did Mr. Finch have his eye on someone?
Rose couldn’t help but mutter, “That girl has bad luck.”
Jonathan glanced at her and smiled cryptically.

“Bad luck? Yes, she had to accept it,” he thought.
He brought her back to Aquastead General Hospital. After a comprehensive examination, they confirmed that Rose was fine. Only then did he feel at ease.
While Rose
to the hos
sleeping, Finley, who had been tasked with investigating the man who had brought Rose returned..
“Mr. Finch, I’ve been following the surveillance footage and investigating for a long time, but I still haven’t found his whereabouts. However, I found this…”
He showed a picture on his phone where the man had a circular emblem on his wrist.
“Worrain Clan of the Youngs? Jonathan recognized it immediately.
Within the Three Greatest Families of Regalia, there was the Azure Clan of the Finches and the Worrain Clan of the Youngs, each possessing its hidden strength.
The Young family… Jonathan stared at Rose in her hospital bed, hidden behind the glass window on the door. Was it a coincidence?
He frowned as he ordered Finley, “Continue to investigate this matter in secret. Find out who that person
IS
“Alright,” Finley agreed.
While Rose fell asleep, the internet was buzzing with chatter. Under the official results and live video from the competition, netizens were involved in a heated discussion.
“The young lady is so beautiful, and she’s not wearing makeup! She’s even more beautiful than Kelly, who
stole her work.”
“Kelly is so disgusting; she even wants to steal her own sister’s things!”
“Last time, she stole her sister’s dress and wore it secretly. Hehe, let me tell you, she’s a drag on the family; her mother is just a second wife.”
“This little thief deserves to be banned! Ms. Rose deserves it; she’s Ms. Flora, and her dress design is priceless.”
Scenic Gardens, the Shaffer residence.
Jamie’s face darkened as he asked, “How could this happen? Have you contacted Kelly?”
They had also gone to the competition site today. They realized that something was wrong when Rose appeared. Right now, their priority was to find Kelly.
Chelsea once again dialed Kelly’s number. This time, it finally connected. However, before she could say anything, she heard sounds of heavy breathing on the other end.
