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, âIâm so envious of Rose. Sheâs so beautiful. She always has a man beside her.â
Nixonâs eyes flashed ferociously as he made a call. âThereâs a man with her. Get her to shake him off.â
In the hotel lobby, Rose received another call from that unfamiliar number. âGet rid of the person beside you!â
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, âThanks for bringing me here, Evan. Iâm going to meet an old friend now. You should go back.â
Evan did not believe her.
He was about to say something when Rose stuck out her tongue
mischievously. âSorry, Evan. It wasnât an old friend. Iâm meeting⦠my husband.â
Evan froze up.
Her husband?
âWâWhen did you â¦â he stuttered.
He wanted to ask when Rose had gotten married, but Rose was already runningâoff.
As she ran, she turned and waved her phone at Evan. âMy husband is getting impatient. Men are so difficult to appease when theyâre angryâ¦â
Her radiant smile looked extremely sweet.
Evan felt his heart tightening. He walked dejectedly out of the hotel.

As soon as Rose left Evanâs 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. Dawnâs anxious voice rang out. âRose⦠Rose, leave at once! I⦠Donât mind me⦠Arghâ¦â
Before Dawn finished speaking, she was slapped.
Rose was furious. She roared sternly over the phone, âYouâre targeting me, right? Iâm here now, so just let her go!â
The man on the other end of the line chuckled.
âSure, 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. Iâll let her go once you do what youâre told!â
Rose frowned. There must be something wrong with the water.
The man spoke up again. âDonât play any tricks. There are surveillance
cameras in the room, so I can see if youâve drunk it or not.
âBut donât worry. There are no cameras in the bathroom. You can change in the bathroom in peace.â
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.
âArgh!â 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.
âAquastead Hotel
Room 1801!â
It was only a floor away from the presidential suite Jonathan was staying in.
Kelly imagined what would happen if Rose went to Hankâs room while she went to Jonathanâs room
She was so excited that she could not contain herself.
If she became Jonathanâs woman, she would no longer be the second daughter of the Shaffers that no one cared about.
As for Roseâ¦
Kellyâs expression grew even more vicious. She immediately sent a message to a paparazzo she knew.
âEarthâshattering news is waiting for you at Aquastead Hotel. You wonât believe
it.â
