Chapter 20 Who Exactly Was That Man

Chapter 20 Who Exactly Was That Man

The headquarters of Celeste Jewels was located in Century Tower..

Rose had just gotten into the elevator when a row of luxury cars pulled up outside the building.

Under the protection of his bodyguards, Jonathan got out of the car.

Finley accidentally voiced the question in his heart as he walked next to Jonathan.

"The Finches only own a few scattered properties in Century Tower. The rest are in the Finch Building in Aquastead.

"But Mr. Finch, you've chosen to inspect the properties here in Century Tower instead. Is it because of Ms. Shaffer?"

Jonathan stopped in his tracks and sneered in disdain, "Because of her? Hah! You must be kidding me!"

They got into the elevator. It was obvious that Jonathan stared at the listing for Celeste Jewels in the directory for longer than usual.

Finley stayed silent. He pursed his lips and decided not to expose Jonathan. He knew that Jonathan was not being honest about his feelings.

This was Rose's first time at the headquarters of Celeste Jewels. She was stopped at the reception counter.

She scoffed at the fact that she could not even enter the company her mother

left to her. What a joke!

"Don't you know who I am?" Rose asked.

The receptionist glanced at Rose in disdain..

"I don't care who you are. If you don't have an appointment, you can't enter. Even if you're one of the Finches, the richest family in Veridian, the same rules apply to you!" Rose frowned. She tried to say something when Maya walked over to them. Maya did not seem to come bearing good intentions.
