Chapter 94 Meet the Person Behind Her
Rose was awakened by her alarm clock. When she checked the time, it was already 8:00 am. Realizing that today was the agreed–upon time, she was shocked
She immediately grabbed her fully charged phone from the bedside table and called Sherlyn, “Have the people on that side arrived? Where is the appraisal expert arranged by William? And those sets of jewelry that need to be replaced…”
“Ms. Shaffer, please rest assured. Everything has been arranged,” Sherlyn replied.
The jewelry that needed to be replaced had already been taken by Jonathan. To replace the jewelry, there needed to be some special arrangements, and Rose had to personally oversee it.
As soon as she got out of bed, she saw Jonathan standing at the bedroom door with his arms crossed.
He looked her up and down before he asked, “Are you sure you want to go out like this?”
Rose was taken aback. When she looked down, she realized she was in her pajamas, made of silk
material that was a bit too revealing. It left her figure on full display.
When she raised her head, she met his gaze, which was filled with amusement. She blushed intensely. Almost instinctively, she grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at him.
“Stop staring! Haven’t you seen me like this before?”
She covered her chest. Jonathan effortlessly avoided the pillow that was hurled in his direction and turned around
After a while, he replied in his deep voice, “I’ve seen it.”
Rose’s ears were burning as she couldn’t argue back. Jonathan was also somewhat helpless.
When he had returned last night, she hadn’t cleaned up for two days, and she looked somewhat disheveled.
He was concerned that she wouldn’t be able to sleep comfortably, so he had reluctantly helped her wipe herself clean and change into her sleepwear.
However, he never expected the type of sleepwear Finley had prepared for her. The set she was wearing was the only one with a little more fabric that he could find. He had indeed done his best.
When Jonathan was having breakfast in the dining room, Rose had changed her clothes as she came out. She peculiarly looked at him.
In her mind, images of the row of sexy sleepwear hanging in the closet flashed through her mind. She quickly took a few bites of bread before rushing out the door.
Sherlyn and William had been waiting downstairs. When she reached the designated VIP meeting room with Sherlyn, the woman was already there with a group of bodyguards.
There were twice as many bodyguards as there were two days ago, creating a formidable presence that seemed to suggest that no matter what happened today, Rose was going to compensate for one billion.
Inside the hotel, Jamie was also present. He sat alone in a quiet corner of the lobby, wearing a pair of earbuds, which allowed him to listen to everything happening in the meeting room.
+15 BONUS
Inside the meeting room, the woman, surrounded by her bodyguards, confidently tossed the customized contract onto the table as she said, “You’ve had two days. Is the money ready today?”
She held a safe in her hands. Jamie had suggested that Rose might more than switching the items.
try to play tricks, but it was nothing
Ignoring the possibilities and the fact that there was no way she could create identical pieces in just two days, the woman was confident that, as long as she ensured the items in her possession remained unchanged, there would be no trouble for her.
Rose certainly needed to compensate for one billion.
Looking at her safe, Rose asked, “If they’re fake, I’ll make the compensation; but what if they’re real?”
The woman coldly smirked, believing there was no chance they could be real.
“If they’re real, I’ll follow whatever you ask.”
She tightened her grip on the safe.
“If they’re real, call out the person behind you, and let me meet him,” Rose replied, her tone filled with irony.
-After much pondering, she realized that the woman couldn’t have crafted the perfect plan to involve the
fake jewelry without Jamie’s cooperation. The real mastermind behind all this was Jamie.
A hint of diffidence flickered in the woman’s eyes. In the hotel lobby, Jamie was momentarily startled while holding a coffee cup. He hadn’t expected that Rose would see through their scheme.
Nevertheless, even if she did, they had made sure that every step was done perfectly. Even if she realized the truth, she would still have to pay that one billion.
In the meeting room, Rose taunted, “Is he afraid?”
Upon hearing Jamie’s voice over the receiver, the woman gained more confidence.
“No problem for that.”
Rose then clapped her hands and said, “Very well!”
With that, William brought in the appraisal expert they had hired. Accompanying them was Jonathan.
