Chapter 370 Can't Admit Again with those antics? Saying that she bullied her? Since Kelly asked for it, then Rose would do as she pleased.
"Come..." Before Rose could finish her sentence, Jonathan had already signaled Finley. Rose did not need to raise a finger on such matters.
Finley quickly stepped forward and a loud slap landed on Kelly's face. Finley had shown her no mercy.
Kelly staggered and almost lost her balance. Her mind went blank, and her face was burning from the impact. Who... dared to hit her? After collecting herself, Kelly glared fiercely at Finley.
Finley was well-trained in the Azure Clan. His well-defined muscles were a testament to that. He had even adopted Jonathan's icy demeanor. A single glance from him was enough to suppress Kelly's protests. But how could Kelly accept that? She was the heiress to the Young family's wealth. Finley... was nothing but a dog by Jonathan's side.
Even if it were Jonathan who gave the order, Kelly wouldn't be able to face the people in the room after being publicly slapped.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAmidst the silence, the room held its breath. No one had expected Finley to strike Kelly so suddenly. After a few seconds, a light chuckle broke the silence. Kelly looked over and realized it was Anastasia. Anastasia hadn't bothered hiding her amusement. One could see the satisfaction in her eyes. Satisfaction...
Kelly had never done anything to Anastasia, so why would she look so pleased? Kelly had no tto figure it out. The thing that pained her more was Oliver's indifference.
Oliver didn't even spare her a glance. Instead, he lovingly said to Rose, "Just sit tight, Rose." She just needed to sit and watch. There was no need for her to get involved. Kelly was stunned. Resentment burned in her heart. She wished she too could slap Rose's face. But upon hearing Oliver's words, she felt so wronged that she burst into tears. Tears streamed down her slightly swollen face. Because of her misery, she accused, "Rose, how could you..." "I didn't hit you!" Rose interrupted.
"You..." Kelly's words were immediately shot down by Rose's interruption.
Rose glanced at Jonathan. She knew that he was the one who had slapped Kelly. Kelly's face was starting to swell, which made Rose pleased. Good! After Rose woke up, she barely had any strength. She had already used all her strength to reach the mansion.
It certainly wouldn't be as powerful as Finley's if she had slapped Kelly. Since there was someone to assist her, she decided to listen to Oliver and sit still. But a slap wasn't enough to get revenge for her malicious intentions toward her grandfather.
However, before Rose could investigate Kelly's actions against Oliver, Kelly cried out, "Rose, don't think you can humiliatelike this through Jonathan! I still have Grandpa on my side!" Kelly hoped that Oliver would protect her.
But, unexpectedly, Oliver frowned. He seemed unhappy that she said, "through Jonathan". Through Jonathan? Since when did Rose need to go through anyone? "Kelly..." Oliver didn't even want to utter her name.
But before he could continue, Jonathan intervened. "Finley, there's one more person I need you to bring here." Jonathan was greatly pleased by Kelly's words. Of course, his woman would rely on him. Jonathan wished that Rose would be under his protection at every moment. She had to do nothing but watch. "Yes, Sir!" Finley replied. He signaled to one of the bodyguards, who immediately went downstairs.
Everyone present was curious, including Rose. She had heard Jonathan mention Chelsea before, but her whereabouts were unknown. She never expected him to have found her.
Another person? Who could it be? As the question arose in her mind, the bodyguard brought someone into the room.
The person's head was covered by a black cloth. Despite this, the figure caught Rose's eyes. Upon closer inspection, she recognized him almost instantly. It was the man who nearly killed her that night! Nixon... She would even recognize his ashes! At that moment, Rose clenched her fists tightly.
Kelly was equally disturbed. The moment he entered the room, Kelly also recognized him. However, what she recognized was a man who had threatened her into sleeping with him with a video.
The moment she recognized him, she started to panic. How could he be here? If Jonathan had him under his control, did that mean all the things she had him do were exposed? Kelly glanced at Oliver anxiously. Now she understood why Oliver was so cold toward her. Oliver must've found out that she had someone try to kill him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn a split second, Kelly knew that she could never admit that incident. As long as she firmly denied it and claimed that someone framed her, there might still be swiggle room for her. Knowing that, Kelly calmed down.
"Do you know him?" Jonathan asked casually.
Kelly frowned, sizing up the man. "Where did you find this person? I don't know him." Don't know? She played the part convincingly.
Jonathan had expected her denial. He remained composed and raised an eyebrow at Nixon. "She says she doesn't know you!" Nixon urgently said, "We know each other all right. But not only do we know each other, we also have a very close relationship."
"Nonsense! What close relationship? Don't try to ruin my reputation, I've never seen you before! Kelly hastily corrected him. Her words clearly implicated that she was framed.
While she was speaking, she glanced at Rose. Rose immediately understood her intentions. "You, m haven't even seen his face and you're already denying it. What are you afraid of, Kelly?" "Yeah, Kelly. What are you afraid of?" Anastasia sneered. The scene she was witnessing was becoming even more exciting. "I..." Kelly concealed her guilt and asserted firmly, "I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that Rose has never liked me. She even had someone hitjust now. I have to suspect she's framing me! Rose found it amusing. "What do I have to gain by framing you?"
"You're just jealous ofbeing Grandpa's biological granddaughter, and jealous that I'm the true heiress of the Young family!" Kelly wanted to make Rose's intentions clear. But what she hadn't noticed was Oliver furrowing his brows. Self-bland anger could be seen in his eyes. When Kelly finished speaking, Oliver's cane struck the ground heavily. A resounding thud pierced the air, expressing his disagreement with Kelly's words.
Then, Oliver spoke in a firm and powerful voice. "She... has no reason to be jealous of you!" RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
