Who'd Dare Ban
His Woman?
Jonathan received a call from Rose early at 6:00 AM. He recalled how she'd mentioned she would be preparing for the National Jewelry Design Award in Chereton a couple of days ago.
It'd been days since then. Did she finally remember him? When Jonathan called, it was a man who picked
it up.
"Are you her husband? She's been in a car accident and is currently here in Aquastead General Hospital."
With that, the call ended. Jonathan's heart skipped as he called the number again. But the phone had shut off this time. He drove first thing to the hospital to look for Rose.
When he arrived, she'd just finished surgery and was resting in a ward, looking extremely pale.
"Are you family? She's lucky to still be alive after such a gruesome accident. Else the blood loss would've killed her," a nurse said softly. She then handed a blood-soaked notepad to Jonathan. "She was clutching tight onto this when they sent her in. It must be really important to her."
Jonathan looked at the notepad and saw a design for jewelry under the dark red stains. He'd seen Rose's design before, and it wasn't this one. What happened in the past few days?
Who was the man that had answered her phone earlier?
Jonathan had Finley check the hospital surveillance cameras and was then reported that the man who'd answered Rose's call was the same man who'd sent her to the ER.
The man didn't seem to want his identity to be found out, however, so he hid his face throughout his time
in the hospital. There were only two days left from the competition finale.
All participants arrived in Regalia early on to take photos with the judges at the competition site to promote it online.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Everyone had been present except for one of the judges, Jonathan Finch, and a participant, Rose Shaffer.
"Mr. Finch just needs to turn up during the finale. He doesn't need to be bothered with something as trivial as advertisements!"
"Yeah! He earns a couple million dollars each minute. But what about that participant, Rose Shaffer? Even Ezra's showed up for the photos - does Rose think she's some bigshot to not attend?" The netizens were engaged in heated discussions.
Meanwhile, in one of Regalia's finest hotels, Kelly was snickering gleefully as she read all their comments. She'd heard about Rose's accident and consequent surgery.
At this rate, there was no way Rose would show up for the finals!
Kelly then logged into her burner account and tagged several bigshots in the jewelry industry, writing. Someone who disrespects the competition and the jewelry industry should be banned!"- Afterward, she paid some ghostwriters to help propagate her post. Soon, the tag #BanRoseShaffer became viral all over the internet.
Rose remained unconscious in the hospital while Finley was alerted by the viral hashtag. He quickly showed Jonathan this. "Sir, look..."
A dangerous gleam appeared in Jonathan's eyes for a moment before disappearing. Ban Rose Shaffer? Who dared ban his woman? Jonathan turned his gaze to Rose's stained notepad. "There's no need to give up on the competition now when she's already drawn out her design," he sneered.
He'd agreed to judge in the competition all because of Rose in the first place. If Rose couldn't go to Regalia personally, he would make the organizer host the competition in Aquastead!
"Tell the Young family and the organizers to change the competition site from Regalia to Aquastead. We will fulfill all demands so long as they approve this change!" Jonathan instructed. BIG SALE 3500 bonus free fou you
