Lizzie frowned deeply, her tone revealing her helplessness. When Rose heard that, her eyelids twitched, and she had a guess. The next moment, she heard Lizzie mention her.
"Rose Shaffer? Hmph, it looks like she's good at tricks. But it's not easy to seduce Jon and enter the Finches."
Lizzie changed her gentle and negotiable attitude in front of Jonathan. When she mentioned Rose, her tone was cold. Even through the toilet door, Rose could feel Lizzie's displeasure toward her. She was curious about who Lizzie was to the Finches. She tried to guess Lizzie's identity. At the same time, she understood that it was that photo attracting Lizzie here.
Had Lizzie come to stop her from marrying into the Finches? She found it funny. In their view, she was a gold digger who clung to Jonathan. But she never said she wanted to marry him. She grabbed the door handle and wanted to go out, but Anastasia's voice caused her to stop abruptly.
"Madam Lizzie, you don't need to worry. Didn't Jon explain it? He feels too bored in a strange environment and wants to have some fun. The photo yesterday was just a whim. He also said it was Mrs. Finch Senior's idea about the wedding. He became the person in charge of the Finches, and the Finches asked him to get married. His marriage must be between big families. He knows it best. That's why he promised that he would handle Rose."
Handle? It was as if she was an object. She held the door handle tightly.
Anastasia continued, "Madam Lizzie, just trust Jon. He'll handle it well. Mrs. Finch Senior will choose a suitable marriage partner for him in Regalia."
Anastasia glanced at a toilet door as she spoke. She had already seen Rose outside. Although it was just a glance, it was enough for her to recognize Rose.
So, before entering the restroom, she told Lizzie that Rose was there. They had reached a tacit understanding.
They deliberately spoke those words to make Rose hear them. It would be great if she could leave Jonathan on her own. Lizzie also glanced at the toilet door.
When she looked away, she saw a ring on Anastasia's finger. She seemed to recognize something and was stunned. The red diamond of the Finches was in Jonathan's hand.
She heard he had bid a high price for a pair of rings at the National Jewelry Design Award held by the Youngs not long ago. The designer was Rose.
He took out the red diamond from the Finches and paid a high price. She guessed he had given it to Rose. Unexpectedly, the ring was on Anastasia's hand. That was interesting! She immediately grabbed Anastasia's hand and said with surprise, "He gave this ring to you!"
Anastasia was also a little surprised by her natural acting skills. She showed the ring just to make a bet. Lizzie might have known about the Finches' red diamond.
She knew about the red diamond and the rings he bid on.

Anastasia didn't bother to find out the reason. For her, it was enough that Lizzie could help her deal with Rose. And obviously, Lizzie was willing to help her. Lizzie stared at her with a bit of regret.
"I heard Jon bought a pair of rings at a high price. I thought he gave it to his sweetheart. It seems his father and Mrs. Finch Senior are hervous because of that photo. If the person he wants to marry is you, they'll be relieved."
"But I was married once..."
She bit her lips, then continued after a slight pause, "Even if Jon doesn't mind, I'm worried that the Finches do."
"It doesn't matter. You grew up in Regalia. The Youngs and the Finches know each other well. The Finches choose a wife based on their character and a good match. If Jon is affectionate to you, that will be a good story."
What Lizzie said was so serious that even she was in a trance. It would be nice if he had feelings for her. It was a pity that his thoughts were all for Rose.
She pursed her lips. The more he thought of Rose, the more she wanted to destroy their relationship. Only this way might she have a chance. She smiled and showed a hint of shyness.
"Madam Lizzie, don't make fun of me. Jon gave me this ring long ago, but it's too expensive. I usually don't wear it. Oops, let's put on our makeup and go out. He's waiting for us."
There was a sound of water in the toilet. Rose grasped the door handle at first, but she soon released it.
At this time, countless things were on her mind. She didn't even notice when the two people outside went out. She was thinking of that ring.
As if to confirm something, she hurriedly walked out of the toilet. She didn't know if she wanted to catch up with Anastasia to see her ring or to do something else.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
When she was still some distance away from the garden hall where Jonathan was, she saw Anastasia.
Anastasia was talking to someone on the phone. Rose looked at her hand holding the phone. That ring was particularly conspicuous.
That ring looked so familiar. It was the same as what she wore before! Had he already given it to Anastasia? At this time, she wanted to know which ring he bid on at that time. Or was hers a fake?
She sneered. She came to find him and planned to ask whether he loved her. And now, she knew the answer after seeing that ring. She felt ridiculous.
She even wanted to walk up to him and slap him to relieve her hatred. But she didn't dare appear in front of him. That was self-humiliating, and she wouldn't humiliate herself.
She didn't go forward but turned in the other direction. Then, she took the elevator, went downstairs, and left the Aquastead Hotel.
She stopped à taxi in despair. When she got in, she was thinking about where to go.
Suddenly, she seemed to make a decision and told the driver, "Go to Zenwood Gardens."
