"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
At the cemetery, Rose stood in front of the gravestone. It started to drizzle just after dark. Jonathan, who waited outside the cemetery, immediately entered without a care with an umbrella.The rain fell on Rose, but before her hair could get wet, an umbrella shielded her. Rose turned around and saw Jonathan. Although she was surprised, she didn't say a word.The rain gradually grew heavier, making a pattering sound as it fell on the umbrella. The only sound in the air was the pattering of the rain.It wasn't until late at night when the rain stopped that Rose decided to leave. However, she didn't return to the city. Instead, she booked two rooms at the nearest hotel.Jonathan followed behind her like a lost puppy. But Rose entered the room silently, and without a word, she closed the door. When they parted, Jonathan called Finley."Tell the Azure Clan of the Finches to investigate Celeste Young's death …" Jonathan almost forgot about it.But Rose's actions today made him want t
Everyone around looked at her. But Rose couldn't be bothered by the crowd's gaze at that moment. She carefully recounted the strings of zeros and covered her mouth in astonishment. Ten billion …It was ten billion! But where did all this money come from? Rose's astonished look quickly turned into a horrified look."Shit! Something's wrong!" Rose kept her cell phone. She then informed Jonathan who was opposite her, "I have matters to attend to, I'll be leaving first."She needed to go to the bank and find out what's the issue with this fund. But Jonathan pulled her back just as she was about to leave.Jonathan had seen every reaction of hers earlier. He smiled with his eyes crinkling.He made sure Rose had sat back down before he asked, "What's gotten you into a hurry? Isn't today our Mom's death anniversary? Let's have breakfast first. Then we can go get a nice bouquet for our Mom."Rose was speechless. Our Mom? What was her mother's relationship with him? Why would it become 'ou
"You're the one dictating while I wrote it. You were the one putting your thumbprint on it. Are you suspecting that I forged the agreement?"Jonathan said as the light in his eyes dimmed."I did mention to wait until you're sober to talk about the agreement. You still suspected me anyway. Never mind, we can just tear this agreement apart since you're not admitting it. I will still help you out even if there's no agreement …"Jonathan took the agreement out of Rose's hands. There was a hurtful look on his handsome face. As if Rose had accused him wrongly.The more Rose looked at him, the more she felt guilty deep down. It was as if she had done a heinous thing. He only wanted to help her, but she had even suspected him ...Besides, she needed the money to deal with the five billion that Kelly had requested. Perhaps it was really what he'd said. She had insisted on drafting that agreement.Just as Jonathan was about to tear the agreement apart, Rose called out to him."Wait …"Jo
After Jonathan had finished instructing Finley, he was back smiling when he walked towards Rose."Let's go and get our Mom some flowers."Jonathan took Rose's hand in his. She was stunned. Our Mom?"That's my Mom!" Rose corrected him seriously.Jonathan did not take her seriously but only smiled."Yes, it's your Mom …"Wouldn't her mother also be his mother? So he wasn't wrong in addressing her as 'our Mom'!The two of them arrived at the cemetery. Jonathan placed the bouquet in front of the gravestone. There was a beautiful lady in the picture of the gravestone. Rose had the same eyes as her.To be more exact, besides Rose's, he had seen many others with the same eyes as the lady in the photo. But Jonathan did not overthink about it.Both of them stayed at the graveyard for a long time. They only returned to the city in the evening. Once Jonathan had sent Rose back to Zenwood Gardens, he received a call from Finley."I've invited him over, Mr. Finch."Jonathan hummed a repl
