Miles's reaction shocked Rose. He was always elegant and polite. This was the first time she saw him lose his temper. The atmosphere was strange for a moment.However, her reaction was already expected by Anastasia. She pursed her lips in grievance and looked at Miles coquettishly."Isn't it just a name? If you don't like it, then I won't say it."Then, she told Rose, "Ms. Shaffer, my brother doesn't like it. You can only call me Anastasia."Her tone was full of disappointment. It was as if she desperately wished she could use the name "Harriette", but she didn't have the qualifications.Rose was puzzled. She thought Harriette was Anastasia. It seemed like Harriette was someone else.She was suddenly filled with curiosity about "Harriette", but she didn't know how to ask about other people's privacy. They got into Anastasia's car and found a place for lunch.During this period, Jonathan followed quietly. For two consecutive days, he followed Rose like a stalker. Unfortunately, M
Jonathan stood at the door, his eyes locked on Rose. There seemed to be too many things accumulated in those dark eyes.Those things were thick and intense. They swept toward Rose through his eyes, giving her an inexplicable illusion that instantly reminded her of the night before. Her face turned red."What are you doing here?"She looked a little unnatural. Thinking of his new investor, Anastasia, her eyes turned cold.Jonathan frowned. He had seen shyness on her face just now, but she became cold in an instant as if she didn't welcome him. He was a little frustrated. However, he soon figured it out.Even if she didn't welcome him, he wouldn't leave easily. A smile appeared on his face as he walked toward Rose.Rose didn't understand. He was obviously a host in a nightclub, how could he have such a natural nobility? He was like the kind of noble son who came from a wealthy family and had a lot of money.Even the way he walked made people blush and their heartbeat. Was it becau
Rose gathered her emotions along the way and fled to the roof. There was no one around. She realized that her heart was aching.The wind blew and hit her on the face. The faint pain in her heart lingered for a long time.She had no idea how long she stood on the roof of the building. It wasn't until an unfamiliar phone rang that she came back to his senses. It wasn't her phone ringtone, but the sound came from her pocket.Thinking of the video sent by the museum staff last night, she immediately took out the phone and answered it."Hello?"Her voice was urgent. She wanted to know whose phone it belonged to and who had silently helped her yesterday."Hello."There was a man's voice on the other side, which was particularly nice.Rose was stunned for a moment before she replied, "Are you looking for the owner of this phone? I'm sorry, I picked up this phone, please …"She didn't know how to bring up what happened at the museum yesterday. She originally planned to lie and claim t
At the same time, Jonathan also stopped."Rose …"He raised a smile. Not only did he ignore the fact that Rose was glaring at him, but he was just happy that she was finally going to talk to him. The next moment, Rose dampened his spirit."Stop following me. Otherwise, I'll call the police."After saying such harsh words, she turned around and hailed a taxi. Jonathan's smile froze on his face. After a moment of recovery, the taxi had already left.Not far away, Ezra in the car looked away from Jonathan with a look of gloating on his face. The car started and drove toward the place agreed upon by him and Rose.A few minutes later, Finley, who came to pick up Jonathan, stopped the car in front of him."Mr. Finch, what's wrong with you?"Finley got out of the car. When he saw Jonathan's expression, he knew that he must have been exhausted by Rose. Jonathan's face was cold as he got into the car without saying a word.Finley returned to the driver's seat and cautiously asked, "Mr.
"My brother …"Ezra met Rose's gaze. He was sure that the person she was thinking about at this time was Jonathan. However, he didn't want to expose the relationship immediately.After a pause, he sighed under Rose's expectant eyes."My brother doesn't like me, and he doesn't like me being a star. He also doesn't like me mentioning my relationship with him."He frowned slightly, and his tone was sad, like a wounded little beast. As he spoke, he even raised his head to drink from his wine glass. Rose put aside the curiosity in her heart. She couldn't help but comfort him, "You have so many fans and a good heart to help others. Your brother will see your excellence one day."Ezra was stunned. Would Jonathan see his excellence one day? Ever since he was young, he seemed to have been fighting for his attention, including being in the entertainment industry.He knew that Jonathan didn't like him being in the entertainment industry, so he had to do things that he didn't like. He thou
"Hey, wake up …"Rose nudged Jonathan's arm, trying to push away the arm and body pressing on her. However, each attempt failed.For a second, she suspected that he was doing it intentionally, but his eyes were closed, and the alcoholic scent lingered in his breath. He seemed genuinely drunk.After a few more attempts, Rose gave up. Instead, she closed her eyes, and it wasn't long before she fell asleep. When her breathing evened out, Jonathan finally dared to open his eyes.His eyes were clear and bright, showing no signs of insobriety. He was just pretending to be drunk. It seemed like this was the only way he could stay by her side.… Early next morning, Rose woke up to find Jonathan laying next to her, with her pillow on his arm. For a moment, she imagined that they were just a normal, happy couple.However, Rose was jolted to reality when her phone rang. Worried about waking Jonathan, she quickly grabbed her phone from her bag and answered it, tiptoeing out of the room cau
When Rose entered the room, she immediately knew that they called her here to gang up on her. She only had two choices; stand there and take it, or fight back. And she chose to fight back!Since she chose to fight back, there wasn't a need to hold back. As expected, her words left everyone in the room furious. Nixon was the first to break the tension."Rose, who are you calling trash?!"Chelsea clenched her fists and tugged on Jamie's sleeve."Jamie, look at her. Kelly is so kind, but she just said that about her! Kelly is just upstairs, and if she hears others belittling her like this, she would be even more upset."Jamie couldn't stand to see his precious Kelly hurt. He wished he could slap Rose's face. However, considering today's purpose, Jamie held himself back."Rose, we all know what happened that day in the museum. Even though Maya accidentally pushed Kelly, you were the cause of the incident. So, you have to be held accountable for Kelly's miscarriage."Rose didn't resp
"Mrs. Lane Senior …"Kelly looked at Chloe delicately. However, when she noticed the disdain in Chloe's eyes, she suddenly regretted her actions.Chloe and Nixon came to visit her earlier in the morning. After learning about Kelly's miscarriage, Chloe's attitude grew even colder. When Kelly thought of Chloe's condescending attitude in the past, she felt somewhat bitter. Even if she didn't want to marry Nixon, she wanted to show Chloe how great she was.So, Kelly had Jamie bring Rose over. She was just using Rose to make herself look good. But Kelly didn't expect Rose to say such nonsense! It was truly infuriating!"Kelly, you just lost your child, you should take care of your health. You're still young, and you'll have many more chances to have children in the future," Chloe said, her words full of hidden meanings.Everyone in the room knew what she meant with those words, except for Nixon. Just because she had more chances to have children, it didn't mean that the children woul
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
When Harriette saw the look on Rose's face, she felt stirred up with even more excitement.She was astonished, shocked, and even confused—all these emotions were present except for fear.This made Harriette feel very dissatisfied. Why wasn't Rose afraid?She wanted to instill fear in Rose and make her scared. She even wanted to watch her tremble all over, begging for mercy and pleading for her life…How could she be okay as though nothing was happening at all?In the current situation, Carl has control over Rose. There was no chance Rose would be able to leave the psychiatric facility's warehouse today.So, Harriette decided to stop pretending.She faced Rose, whose eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions. With a gentle smile, she said, "I owe it all to you, Rose!"She passed on Carl's message to Rose, doubling the irony."Harriette, you…" If Rose didn't understand by now, she had to really be clueless.After Rose connected everything together, it became increasingly
That strange feeling in the air today hadn't faded since it began. Rose had the strange urge to find out where it came from. What would the result be?She ignored Henrietta's frantic cries. Her gaze slid past her and fell on Carl. She asked once more, "What do you intend to do?""What do I intend to do?" Carl sneered and continued, "The Finches sent me here to a psychiatric facility."He then chuckled. "Do I look insane to you?"Rose was speechless.Yes, very much so.Carl's heart was filled with genuine hatred. Being sent to the psychiatric facility was Ezra's doing. Ezra clearly wanted him to experience what his mother, Nancy, had suffered back then. During his time here, they injected him with drugs. He knew exactly what those drugs were doing to his body. It was the knowledge that filled him with terror. This was exactly what Ezra wanted. He even felt that he was mentally ill now.Hatred flared in his eyes. "No, I'm not sick. I don't have a mental illness! I don't have a m
