He suddenly glanced at her with a predatory look in his eyes, causing her to tremble.

She chuckled dryly and said, "I'll leave."

Nevertheless, she maintained her pretense of ignorance and asked, "Jon, why are you here alone? I was looking everywhere for you. Why didn't you take my calls?"

He sat on the bench without so much as looking at her or even listening to her. She looked a little dejected because of the cold shoulder but maintained a smile.

"Jon, would you like to know who's Grandpa's new granddaughter? Let's take a look, shall we?"

Alas, Jonathan was way more interested in Rose than her. Feeling disappointed, Anastasia nonetheless decided to use Jonathan's affection for Rose to her advantage.

She remarked, "Miles said that he wanted to introduce a young woman to Grandpa. Aren't you curious? I am so curious about it."

She put on a look of anticipation. Indeed, Jonathan frowned.
