Rose struggled instinctively, but the man's large hand gripped hers suddenly. Their fingers laced together suggestively.

He buried his face against her shoulder. His ragged breaths brushed over her collarbones and made her feel numb there. Rose could not help but shiver.

She tried to kick a vulnerable part of the man's body, but she had only just lifted her leg when a hand gripped her knee.

In the darkness, Jonathan's gaze was terrifyingly piercing.

"How heartless!" he snarled coldly and mockingly.

She had paid to spend the night with him the night before last, but she was trying to make him impotent now. He silently cursed Rose.

Jonathan recognized her the moment she walked into the room. He spilled the wine on purpose so that the smell of alcohol would mask his scent.

He even disguised his voice by making it lower. That way, she would not recognize him.

Jonathan thought about the lipstick stain on Nixon's collar. He felt an inexplicable rage building up inside his heart.

    Over in the room on the second floor, Jonathan had already let go of Rose's shoulder.Under the cover of darkness, his sharp gaze was fixed on her.Based on the information Zac gave him last night, Celeste died in a traffic accident ten years ago. It was classified as an accident.Jonathan wondered if there had been another reason behind Celeste's death.Did Rose come to see him to find out more about her mother's death? Was it not for Nixon's sake?The long silence made Rose anxious."As long as you tell me the truth behind that accident, I'll do anything you ask of me."Jonathan's gaze darkened as he questioned, "So, you'd even agree if I ask you to be my woman?"Rose froze. She suddenly recalled her new husband's handsome face.Jonathan saw her reaction. His expression, which had improved a little earlier, soured again.His voice was flecked with traces of jealousy as he said, "What's the matter? You can't bear to part with your fiancé?"Rose was taken aback.Nixon? He w

    "Oh, yes, of course. I'll get it done right away." Nixon immediately nodded in agreement.Jonathan was an enigmatic man who kept a low profile. Nixon thought the former probably did not want too many people to see his face.In reality, Jonathan simply did not want a certain stray cat to see his face.He glanced at the bag on the bed. It belonged to Rose.Jonathan smiled in amusement. Then, he left the room with the bag in hand.Back downstairs, Rose had just entered the hall when she suddenly came to a stop. She had left her bag in the room!Her marriage license was in her bag!She could not care less about the bag, but the marriage license played an important part in her plan for tonight!Rose figured the man would have left the room by now. Gritting her teeth, she had no choice but to risk it.Avoiding the crowd, she rushed up to the second floor. When she entered the room, she saw that no one was there. It was as she had expected.But her bag was gone as well! He must have

    The man's voice confirmed Rose's suspicion.It was him! He was right here!Shocked, Rose felt as if she had been electrocuted. Almost on instinct, she wanted to push him away.But Jonathan seemed to have seen through her thoughts. Placing his large palm on the back of her waist, he pulled her closer. "Don't move. Do you want everyone to know that you tried to seduce me in the room just now?""I—"She was not trying to seduce him! Rose wanted to retort, but a threatening glare from him silenced her.She grimaced beneath her mask, but she obediently continued dancing. He took the lead, and they danced quite well together.But Jonathan did not seem satisfied just yet. Her body was too tense."Relax!" Jonathan discreetly patted her waist.Rose was startled.His actions felt like he was teasing her flirtatiously. He was harassing her!Rose glared at him to communicate her resistance.Jonathan raised an eyebrow and smirked. They were legally married. Patting her waist was no big

    Meanwhile, down in the dance hall, the dance had just ended.Jonathan had not had enough yet.Even though Rose was forced to play along with him, Jonathan found it rather amusing. Reluctant to let go, he kept his hand on her waist."Can you let go of me now, Uncle Jonathan?" Rose said with an insincere smile.Jonathan frowned. His voice was both domineering and jealous. "I'm not your uncle. Don't call me that ever again."Rose wondered why he was being so jealous. Suddenly, Jonathan stuffed a bag into her hands. It was her bag!Elated, Rose wanted to thank him. But then, she remembered the way he bit her when they were in the room on the second floor just now. Her shoulder was still hurting.He bit her, and he even stole her bag!Rose spat out through gritted teeth, "You wretched … thief!"Her voice was tiny. After all, she dared not mess with a prominent figure like him.But Jonathan heard what she said. She was insulting him!"Hah …"Jonathan was about to say more when Ro

    But before Rose could read out her husband's full name, Nixon snatched the marriage license from her hands and tore it into pieces.Nixon thought Rose had forged a marriage license just to get revenge on him for cheating with Kelly.Without even looking at Rose, he smiled and confidently addressed the guests watching them."Sorry, everyone. Rose likes to play pranks sometimes. We'll be getting married very soon. Mr. Finch will be officiating the marriage ceremony, and everyone's invited."Nixon was determined to get Celeste Jewels.Rose stared glumly at the torn marriage license. She still had not seen her husband's full name.But soon, she smirked coldly and announced, "I'm already married, but my husband isn't Mr. Lane. If you don't believe me, Mr. Lane, you can check with the county clerk's office. The records there won't be fake."And with that, Rose turned around and left the hall gleefully.Nixon started feeling uneasy.If Rose did get married behind his back, he would n

    Jonathan's eyes flashed coldly as he turned the car around without hesitation. As he did so, he gave Finley a call."There's a woman in his car. Pause all operations. I'm heading back right now. Wait for further instructions."Finley was speechless. He wondered how Jonathan had found out about it."Mr. Finch—" Finley wanted to stop Jonathan, but the call had already ended."Oh, no!"Finley abruptly realized that the woman in the car had to be a special person to Jonathan. He immediately drove back as well.Meanwhile, as Connor drove, the madness in his eyes intensified.Rose had the urge to curse him."Hey, mister. You should've gotten your facts straight first. Why would Jonathan care about whether or not I die? I'm just a nobody. You kidnapped the wrong person!"Rose and Jonathan shared nothing more than a brief encounter that left her with a bite mark on her shoulder.So, the only person she thought of who could save her was her star escort husband. But now, her only hope

    Jonathan rushed to the ward. When Rose saw him, she immediately got out of bed and ran toward him.Clinging onto him, she complained, "I thought I was going to die. I don't get why I was so unlucky that I would get dragged down by that wretched Mr. Finch."Jonathan was bewildered.Wretched?He frowned.Rose did not notice his reaction.She continued angrily, "If I die, I'll turn into a ghost and haunt him every night! He won't be able to get any sleep at all!"Finley, who had just arrived at the door, was thunderstruck when he saw the position they were in.He had never seen anyone acting so boldly around Jonathan before.Finley wondered if Rose did not know that the wretched Mr. Finch she was talking about was right in front of her right now.Jonathan was frowning. It was obvious that he felt a little upset.Finley thought Jonathan would push the woman away and reprimand her. But unexpectedly, Jonathan held her by the waist as if he feared that she would fall over.There w

    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

    Jonathan's voice clearly expressed dissatisfaction.Rose felt a bit uneasy. She focused on keeping her composure, appearing as though she hadn't heard anything.Nearby, Jonathan, sitting on the couch, furrowed his brows.Something felt off, very off.He had been watching Rose for a long time, and usually, she should have felt his gaze by now and looked back at him. Then there would be a moment of eye contact, which would set the stage for him to make his next move.But…Was she not aware of being watched?Jonathan tried winking and making himself noticeable, but she still didn't respond.Something felt off, really off!So, he had no choice but to try a different approach. "Wifey…."He called out to Rose, but she still didn't respond.Jonathan furrowed his brow even more. Was it because he wasn't loud enough?"Wifey…" he called out again.There was still no response. Was his charm not strong enough?"Wifey…" he called out again.Every time Rose heard him call out "wifey,"

    The look in Miles' eyes was chilling.Miles always looked at her warmly, so how could this be any different?Before long, the coldness in his eyes vanished, and when she looked into them again, there was warmth once more.But just now… was it her imagination? No, it wasn't!The coldness she felt had sent a distinct shiver through her heart; it was no illusion.Kelly furrowed her brows. She was determined to figure it out.As she was trying to piece things together, she heard Miles slowly say, "I only have one sister left. What should I do?"His tone was filled with anguish.Kelly snapped back to reality, determined to be supportive at a time when Miles was in pain. She reassured him, saying, "Miles, I will be by your side for the rest of my life!"There was only one sister left… Of course, it was her!"Is ten percent of the shares enough?" Miles immediately asked.If calming Miles earlier was her task, then after hearing his question now, she became fully alert.It wasn't e

    There was a long silence in the conference room.Miles had a somber expression, clearly showing a strong sense of displeasure.Anastasia sat in the furthest corner. Since Harriette's return, she was no longer the favored daughter of the family. It was as if she had become a completely different person.But no one paid attention to her. Today, she was just there to make up the numbers.Kelly frowned, but inside, she was overjoyed.Among everyone in the conference room, she was the most excited to see Chloe arrive. She had put in effort to ensure Chloe could make it today.She finally brought up the thing that mattered most to her through Chloe.However, she couldn't show her happiness outwardly.On the surface, she was filled with righteous indignation as she said, "Aunt Chloe, Rose hasn't been dead long, and you're already bringing this up? Isn't this behavior a bit too unseemly?"Rose inherited Young Group. Young Group belongs to Rose. How could you… How could you…" she accus

    Rose often wore that necklace.Kelly had complimented the necklace, saying it looked beautiful and that she wanted to buy one as well. Rose told her that she had designed and made it herself, and there were only two in the whole world: one that she kept and the other that was given to a friend.She knew that the friend was Yvonne.She pretended to be jealous at that moment, but Rose didn't give in or make one for her too.Kelly recalled that Rose was also wearing it that day.All the information pointed to one conclusion—that body was undoubtedly Rose!"Miles, Rose… Poor Rose…" Kelly was crying so hard she nearly fainted.The level of sadness and grief she displayed was comparable to that of Miles.In her heart, she secretly felt glee at Miles' reaction.After he saw "Rose", it seemed as if the necklace confirmed her identity, and from that moment on, he seemed to have lost his soul.Even her "self-blame" act received little response from him, as if he was deeply immersed in

    "Hehe! No need to thank me. Wasn't that what I was supposed to do?" Ezra remarked. He was feeling a bit shy because of Rose's gratitude.Rose could tell there was a plan to deal with Kelly.Rose didn't ask too many questions about the plan. They only asked her to stay here temporarily, and she figured out that she shouldn't make any public appearances for the time being.To ensure Kelly revealed her true intentions, she needed to be tricked into thinking she was truly in a dire situation.If it were just Harriette, she wouldn't be that angry, but since it was Kelly, that was a different story.She still hadn't confronted her about Oliver's death, so this time, she would settle the score altogether.Rose quietly awaited the day of the big reveal.On the night that the news of Rose's death spread, Jonathan rushed back to Regalia. It was said that Jonathan caused a major commotion at the police station, refusing to accept the explanation that she had been "blown to pieces with no r

    Miles looked at Rose while listening to Harriette's lie that "Rose was dead".There was only one feeling in his heart—a lingering fear.If Jonathan hadn't discovered early on that Harriette was an impostor, Miles would probably still be deceived, mistaking her for the real Harriette.He didn't care about his own feelings being deceived. What really mattered to him was that the fake Harriette would use him to harm Rose!"What do you plan to do about Harriette?"When Ezra walked in, he was seemingly aware that Miles was already inside.While Rose was still asleep, he asked that question.Ezra didn't realize that "Harriette" wasn't the real Harriette he knew. He only knew that Miles had deep feelings for Harriette and was worried that Miles couldn't bear to do anything to her.If Miles truly couldn't bear it, then a lot of things would have to be done by Ezra and Jonathan.Unexpectedly, Miles said without hesitation, "Wherever she came from, that's where she's going back to."He

    It wasn't a trap set by Jonathan, but rather by Ezra.After Ezra had thrown Carl into the psychiatric facility, he never showed up again. Now that he was here, he didn't dare to think about what Ezra might do to him.Ezra spoke up. "Carl, you're weird."Back at the hospital warehouse, you showed so much courage and had already decided you were willing to risk your life for the woman you love. You weren't afraid of dying then, so what's causing your fear now?"It seems like your determination to face death isn't very resolute!"Ezra's tone sounded sarcastic as he said that.Carl immediately responded, "It's not that I'm not resolute…"As he uttered the words, Carl realized he might have fallen into a trap. Feeling a bit guilty, he quickly changed his statement. "What beloved woman? Willingness to risk my life for her? You really like to make up stories, Mr. Turner."Make up stories, he said? Ezra's eyes gleamed with a sharp intensity.Carl didn't admit to taking the fall for Li

    As soon as the call connected, Harriette started crying uncontrollably.On the other end of the line, the man remained silent. The expected concern didn't come immediately, causing Harriette to pause. Fortunately, Miles' voice soon came through. "Harriette, please don't cry. Did something happen? Are you hurt? Please don't cry…"Every word she said carried an intense sense of care, reflecting on Miles's concern that she was familiar with.Harriette finally felt relieved, though she was still crying. Hearing Miles on the other end of the phone sounding even more anxious helped calm her down a little. Between her sobs, she started blaming herself, saying, "Miles, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to meet that person, and I shouldn't have made Rose come with me. I, I…"It was followed by another bout of sobbing from Harriette."What's happened to Rose?" Miles asked.Harriette heard the person on the other end of the phone suddenly stop breathing for a moment.Even though R

    And there was also Miles… He was currently on vacation abroad, which was a time meant for relaxation. If Rose were to die, hearing the news would likely affect his vacation, right?He would definitely rush back for this.It would be a time of sorrow and a time to take on the responsibilities of Young Group once again.He wouldn't know that Harriette played a part in Rose's death. In truth, Harriette only held resentment toward Rose, and even if she were with the Young family, she wouldn't harm Miles.However, when Rose reached this conclusion, she felt particularly uneasy.But she didn't have enough time to figure out why she felt uncomfortable. She thought about Elijah, Clover, Yvonne, Emily…The people she thought about flashed through her mind one by one.…Outside the warehouse, Harriette, in a state of panic, ran out. Once she was in a more populated area, she resumed her act.The doctors and nurses who left the warehouse earlier were no longer there.Harriette was surpr
