Chapter 11 Behind the Door

Rose glanced around her. She spotted a tall male figure through the curtains of

the tea room.

The figure seemed familiar to her somehow.

Rose was about to take a closer look when Nixon suddenly walked up to her. He blocked her line of sight.

"Hurry up, Rose. I'll take you to Uncle Jonathan right now."

Nixon wanted to hold Rose's hand, but Rose shirked away disdainfully.

His eyes flashed with displeasure, but when he thought of Jonathan, he had no choice but to suppress his emotions.

"Rose, today is a great opportunity for me and my family. The Finches are the top among the three greatest families of Regalia, and Uncle Jonathan is the newly appointed person in charge of the family. "Once he officiates our marriage, and with Celeste Jewels behind us, I am guaranteed to become the heir of the Lane family!"

Nixon was the Lanes' only grandchild. But at the moment, his father, Hayden Lane, handled most of the family businesses.

Hayden had an illegitimate son whom he had been working hard to nurture over the past few years. The illegitimate son posed a serious threat to Nixon.

Nixon could not afford to mess up right now. He was in urgent need of Celeste Jewels to solve his funding difficulties.

Rose smiled scornfully. She did not care about what happened to Nixon and

the Lanes.

But she did prepare a great present, and Uncle Jonathan had a VIP ticket to the show. She should meet him, at least.
