Chapter 84 Could it be Mr. Finch
Nixon was excited. Soon, he was brought to the backyard. In the darkness, Jonathan’s face was incredibly grim. Nixon thought he had finally revealed Rose’s true colors.
He immediately added fuel to the fire as he said, “Uncle Jonathan, you have seen that Rose is that kind of woman. She’s not worth even a single glance from you,
“What kind of woman is she?” Jonathan’s voice was low and chilly.
Nixon quickly painted an even darker picture of Rose.
“She was once my fiancée. To harm me, she got involved with a male escort and even married him. She approached Mr. Young and you just for money to support his husband.”
A male escort? Rose indeed treated him as if he were some kind of special occupation worker, throwing money at him. A faint smile involuntarily tugged at the corner of his mouth,
However, Nixon didn’t notice his change in expression. Thinking about the 500 million Rose had just received, he felt a surge of envy.
“Uncle Jonathan, don’t let her deceive you. Those jewels aren’t worth 500 million. I can help you retrieve them.”
If he could retrieve them, Jonathan would surely be grateful ttohim. Jonathan crossed his legs and smiled.
“How do you plan to retrieve them?”
Nixon was overjoyed as patted his chest and said, “Uncle Jonathan, just wait and watch. I can get this done immediately.”
Jonathan glanced at him and said, “Well, give it a try.”
Nixon failed to notice the odd tone in his voice. He felt as though he had received a golden opportunity.
“Alright.”
He turned around confidently and walked toward Rose in the villa. With Jonathan’s backing, he not only intended to make Rose return the 500 million but also wanted to expose her in the worst way possible.
Inside the villa, Rose was chatting with several jewelry designers. Suddenly, Nixon’s voice rang out.
“Rose!”
Through the crowd, Rose met his gaze and instantly saw the malice in his eyes. He was indeed a persistent guy who never gave up.
Earlier, she didn’t want to disrupt Miles’s celebration banquet, so she ignored him. However, if he continued to pester her
“Smack!”
With a crisp sound, a slap landed on Nixon’s face, leaving everyone in shock. In the hall, an angry middle- aged man who had just arrived exuded a strong air of anger. Rose recognized this man.
“Dad!”

Nixon was left dumbfounded by the slap. As he came to his senses and saw Hayden, he was completely taken aback.
Nevertheless, he was still focused on impressing Jonathan in front of everyone, to the extent that he hadn’t even paid much attention to the slap. His gaze returned to Rose.
As he just looked over, Hayden slapped his face again. With a smack, Nixon couldn’t help but stumble.
“Dad…”
His eyes reddened. Hayden didn’t give him a chance to speak. He immediately signaled two burly men to grab him. The men then dragged him away.
Hayden bowed to Miles and said, “I apologize, Mr. Young. My unfilial son has behaved improperly and disturbed everyone.
As he was leaving, he cast a probing look at Rose. In his sharp eyes, apart from scrutinizing, there was a strong undercurrent of respect, even more so than the look he gave Miles.
That look left Rose feeling strange.
“Thank you for your help, Mr. Young”
She thought that Miles had called Hayden over. However, he didn’t seem to care.
“If it was because of that man just now, then you’re thanking the wrong person.”
He was planning to teach Nixon a lesson, but he hadn’t acted yet..
“Then who was it?” Rose muttered as she looked at Evan.
He furrowed his brows, not bothering to claim the credit.
“It wasn’t me either.”
Rose was even more perplexed. If it wasn’t Miles and Evan, who else could command such respect from Hayden? Could it be Mr. Finch?
A scene of her being trapped by the man in the water earlier flashed in her mind, causing her to shudder instinctively
“No, it can’t be him.”
She pushed away the thought. Just then, her phone rang. Upon realizing the caller was her star escort husband, she immediately answered the call.
“Hello?”
The call was connected, but there was a moment of silence from the other end. In the backyard, Jonathan was left in a daze when he saw the smile on Rose’s face as she answered the phone.
