Chapter 98 Extraordinary Possessiveness
Rose arrived at a suburban cemetery.
She stared at her mother’s tombstone and murmured, “Mom, I’ve come to see you.”
Looking at her mother’s photo on the tombstone, she indeed had eyes very similar to hers. Her mother was very beautiful.
However, during the car accident all those years ago, her face was so disfigured that even the best mortuary makeup artist couldn’t restore her original appearance.
She had cried and called out, trying to wake her mother. However, no matter how hard she cried, her mother’s eyes remained tightly closed.
Now, it seemed that Celeste Jewels was going to meet the same fate as her mother.
“If I had discovered Jamie’s hidden agenda earlier, things wouldn’t be like this now…”
There were still many things at the company that she hadn’t had the chance to sort out.
However, from Jamie’s greedy extortion scheme, she knew that resolving the mess at Celeste Jewels. wouldn’t be easy. She refused to give in.
“Mom, no matter what, I will save Celeste Jewels,” she swore with determination.
She leaned against the tombstone and talked for a long time. She was so tired that she eventually fell asleep. The night breeze was gentle, and the sky began to drizzle.
Miles, dressed in a white suit, covered Rose with his black umbrella. Not far away, Jonathan’s eyes were deep and complex. As their glances met, he approached and lifted Rose horizontally, carrying her away. Miles followed, holding the umbrella over Rose’s head to shield her from the rain. No one spoke on the way Rose seemed to dream of Celeste as she called out “Mom“.
She seemed to mistake Jonathan’s embrace for her mother’s as she nuzzled against his shoulder. Jonathan’s lips curved upward triumphantly.
If it weren’t for his concern that Miles might cause trouble; he would have wanted to tell him right away that he and Rose were already married. As for Miles, he could get away as far away as possible.
However, sensing his excessive concern for Rose, Jonathan placed her in the car. Then, he turned to look at him.
“Stay away from Rose.”
He rarely gave warnings.
Miles took a look at Rose, who was sleeping soundly in the car, and asked, “Are you serious about her?” Last time at the celebration banquet, he had felt that Jonathan treated Rose as a stand–in for Anastasia.
However, when he had planned to finish the jewelry–making tasks together with Rose that day, he received from Regalia, saying that his grandfather’s condition had worsened.
Hence, he rushed back urgently. On the road, he had arranged for some of the best craftsmen from the company to come to Aquastead and help Rose with the work.

Yet, he didn’t expect that the craftsmen would be intercepted at the airport by the Azure Clan of the Finches. He knew it was ordered by Jonathan–he knew him too much.
His extraordinary possessiveness… He was sure that he was serious about Rose. Jonathan didn’t reply.
Miles’s eyes had a touch of madness as he shouted in a low voice, “You’ve promised Anastasia, don’t forget!”
A scene flashed through Jonathan’s mind, and he looked at Miles with a complex expression.
“Stay away from Rose!”
With that, he got in the car and drove away. Miles was furious as he tossed his umbrella to the ground. Soon, rain soaked his clothes and hair.
Jonathan brought Rose back to Zenwood Gardens. He didn’t go into the underground parking lot.
Instead, he carried her out of the car at the entrance of the residential complex, then casually threw the car keys to the security guard to park the car.
As Jonathan walked away while holding Rose, the security guard was just about to get into the car when a woman called out to him.
Sir
The security guard turned to see a delicate and docile woman, Although she wasn’t as beautiful as Rose, her pure and innocent expression made one completely defenseless.
“May I help you with something?” he asked in an extremely polite attitude.
Kelly had overheard Finley mention the words “Zenwood Gardens‘ outside the police station earlier.
Hence, she hurriedly took a taxi to come here and waited specifically, not expecting to find them there. Zenwood Gardens was a top–tier luxury residence.
Some villa communities couldn’t compare to the facilities and amenities inside. She wondered if Rose was living here with Jonathan. She was extremely unwilling in her heart.
However, at this moment, she was pretending to be delicate and harmless as she said, “Well, you see, the one who just went inside is my sister. She had a conflict with our family because of her boyfriend.
“I don’t know what kind of love potion her boyfriend, whom she’s been dating for only a few days, gave her. She insisted on running away from home. We’re all worried that she might run into bad people and be deceived for money or other purposes…”
She displayed genuine concern with every expression, seemingly a caring younger sister.
The security guard didn’t doubt her words at all and reassured her, “Miss, rest assured, Ms. Shaffer’s boyfriend is very good to her. Although they are staying in a friend’s house, Mr. Finch is an elite. There’s no way your sister could be deceived for money while she’s with Mr. Finch.”
Kelly keenly picked up on something
“Staying at a friend’s house?”
