Chapter 115 Itâs Her
Joanthanâs eyes turned icy.
âHow did she get here?â
Apart from Rose, only Zac knew he was here. Zac hesitated, his confidence waning in the face of Jonathanâs hidden anger.
âShe had been looking for you, so I brought her here. After all, weâre still friends.â
Jonathan furrowed his brows.
Zacâs heart skipped a beat as he continued, âI was originally coming up with her, but I received a phone call at the last minute, so I let her come up first. Is everything okay?â
He glanced at the room and felt a sense of familiarity. Suddenly, he caught something, and his pupils widened.
âLast night⦠Who was it? Were you set up by someone? Which woman?â
His gaze took on an accusatory tone as he continued, âBehaving recklessly like this after being drugged, how will you face your little beauty?â
Jonathan knew he had misunderstood. He didnât want to explain, but his reproachful gaze seemed to genuinely favor Rose. His chilliness eased slightly.
âItâs her.â
With that, he left the room. As he passed by Anastasia, he didnât even spare her a glance and headed downstairs. However, Zac was left puzzled in the room. Which âherâ?
He was momentarily unable to react, but suddenly his eyes lit up as if a lightbulb had gone off in his head.
âItâs the little beauty!â
He had always believed that even if Jonathan was careless under the influence, he wouldnât fall for just any woman. He breathed a sigh of relief and followed suit, leaving the room.
His attention was now fully absorbed in understanding what had happened last night, completely forgetting about Anastasiaâs presence.
Anastasia was rarely ignored in such a way in Regalia. Her face darkened slightly. Just now, she had vaguely overheard the words âlittle beautyâ, which made her aware of it.
Her intuition told her that the âlittle beautyâ Zac was referring to was the âwifeâ in Jonathanâs phone.
âAnastasia, arenât you leaving?â
Zac suddenly turned around when she seemed lost. She immediately put on a smile, quickening her pace to catch up. In the hotel lobby, Jonathan had the manager check the surveillance footage.
However, the remaining footage only showed a staff delivering wine to the room. It didnât capture the suspicious woman. Even the footage of Rose coming and going had disappeared.
The manager then brought the wineâdelivery staff in.

âWhen I went up, I met a young lady in a red dress. She sprained her ankle, and I helped her. Nothing happened afterwardâ¦â
As Jonathan listened to her description, he was certain that someone had tampered with the wine. With a hint of coldness in his eyes, he made a straightforward decision.
âDismiss the staff who leaked the guest room numbers last night and this morning.â
Then, he turned and left. The hotel manager knew that he had longâterm booked room 602 and was an important guest. However, even for an important guest, they couldnât decide the hotelâs staffing.
He didnât take it seriously. Just a few minutes later, the hotel manager received a phone call from the top- level boss himself.
His face turned grave, and he even felt a bit frightened as he listened to the instructions. He promptly arranged for the staff members to resign. He wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Who could have thought it was Mr. Finch? Moreover, Finch Group had decided to acquire Elysian Hotel on such short notice. Jonathan had been lenient in not firing him along with the others.
As Zac drove up, Jonathan and Anastasia waited by the roadside. The two stood side by side, appearing like a perfect couple.
Just as Rose stepped out of the car, she immediately spotted the conspicuously eyeâcatching couple and recognized the woman from the photo. Had she come after she left last night?
She felt something constricting her chest, making her anxious. After she left last night, her mind was filled with her star escort husbandâs urge not to let her leave.
Those words were like a spell, even making her feel as though his feelings for her were not as simple as a business deal. If she hadnât left something behind the room, she wouldnât have turned back.
While she stood there, her heart ached. She watched as the two of them got into the car. She didnât even feel like going back inside to retrieve her belongings.
the car.
âPlease take me home,â she said blankly as she got back into the
On the way, her mind was in a daze. Suddenly, her star escort husbandâs call came through.
Seeing the words âstar escort exâhusbandâ on the screen, she shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel those feelings. He was already her exâhusband, what was she thinking?
Exhaling deeply, she pressed the end call button without hesitation. In Zacâs luxury car, Jonathan furrowed his brows. She hung up on him?
