Chapter 24 My Husband

Half an hour later, Rose and Evan rushed into Aquastead Hotel.

Nixon and Kelly, who were already waiting there, spotted them right away.

When Kelly saw Evan, she became insanely jealous of Rose again.

Keeping up her usual innocent act, Kelly commented, “I’m so envious of Rose. She’s so beautiful. She always has a man beside her.”

Nixon’s eyes flashed ferociously as he made a call. “There’s a man with her. Get her to shake him off.”

In the hotel lobby, Rose received another call from that unfamiliar number. “Get rid of the person beside you!”

Rose knew the caller was targeting her.

She did not have any enemies besides Nixon. It seemed like she had not kicked him hard enough.

Rose turned around with a smile and said to Evan, “Thanks for bringing me here, Evan. I’m going to meet an old friend now. You should go back.”

Evan did not believe her.

He was about to say something when Rose stuck out her tongue

mischievously. “Sorry, Evan. It wasn’t an old friend. I’m meeting… my husband.”

Evan froze up.

Her husband?

“W–When did you …” he stuttered.

He wanted to ask when Rose had gotten married, but Rose was already running–off.

As she ran, she turned and waved her phone at Evan. “My husband is getting impatient. Men are so difficult to appease when they’re angry…”

Her radiant smile looked extremely sweet.

Evan felt his heart tightening. He walked dejectedly out of the hotel.

As soon as Rose left Evan’s line of sight, her smile disappeared.

Right after that, the person sent her a room number.

Rose found the room. She went in, but there was no one in the room. A long red dress lay on the bed.

Her phone rang again. Dawn’s anxious voice rang out. “Rose… Rose, leave at once! I… Don’t mind me… Argh…”

Before Dawn finished speaking, she was slapped.

Rose was furious. She roared sternly over the phone, “You’re targeting me, right? I’m here now, so just let her go!”

The man on the other end of the line chuckled.

“Sure, but… do you see the dress on the bed? Someone prepared it especially for you. Put it on, and drink the glass of water on the table. I’ll let her go once you do what you’re told!”

Rose frowned. There must be something wrong with the water.

The man spoke up again. “Don’t play any tricks. There are surveillance

cameras in the room, so I can see if you’ve drunk it or not.

“But don’t worry. There are no cameras in the bathroom. You can change in the bathroom in peace.”

Clenching her jaw, Rose took the dress into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom in the red dress. Then, she took the glass of water and drank everything.

Elsewhere in the hotel, Nixon saw Jonathan entering the lobby. Excited, he began making the arrangements.

He did not notice that Kelly was gone.

In the bathroom, Kelly flung her phone on the floor. She had received a phone call from Hank just now. He was the one who found the phone she lost at the Lane residence last night.

Hank used the surveillance footage to threaten her. She had to spend time with him tonight, or he would publish that video.

“Argh!” Kelly was seething with rage, but she had no other choice.

All of a sudden, a thought occurred to her. Grabbing her phone again, she read the message from Hank.

When she saw the address in the message, she smiled maliciously.

“Aquastead Hotel

Room 1801!”

It was only a floor away from the presidential suite Jonathan was staying in.

Kelly imagined what would happen if Rose went to Hank’s room while she went to Jonathan’s room

She was so excited that she could not contain herself.

If she became Jonathan’s woman, she would no longer be the second daughter of the Shaffers that no one cared about.

As for Rose…

Kelly’s expression grew even more vicious. She immediately sent a message to a paparazzo she knew.

“Earth–shattering news is waiting for you at Aquastead Hotel. You won’t believe

it.”
