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
Oliver was muttering to himself."Young. Her last name is Young …"The anticipation in Oliver's eyes slowly dimmed down. It wasn't her. She had sworn that she would never have his last name. She would forever remain as Henrietta Willis.That was why she could never be her. Oliver took a deep breath and pushed away his disappointment. He looked at Rose."Where's your mother now?"Rose gave him a grim smile."She passed."Oliver was stunned. He never thought that it would be like this. He was heartbroken for Rose. He looked at her and tugged at her wrist."Come, have a seat.""My daughter and your mother have the same birthday. Perhaps we were fated to meet like this. How about we celebrate their birthdays together then? We have a cake here anyway," Oliver suggested."Sure."Rose did not reject the idea. She had also wanted to celebrate her mother's birthday. Truly fate had brought her to meet this old man. Rose opened the cake together with Oliver. They then lit the candle.
The sound of punches and kicks accompanied Jamie's screams and continued for a long time. Had Jonathan not begun to miss Rose, he would have been willing to continue beating him.Jonathan waved his hand. "That's enough," Finley told the bodyguards to stop.Then he followed Jonathan out of the room."Sir, how should we deal with this guy?" Finley cautiously inquired.Jonathan adjusted his cuff and smiled casually. "Leave him in some remote corner. He'll find his way home. By the way..."Jonathan thought of the five billion that Rose had transferred to Jamie. In any case, Azure Clan had plenty of ways to make Jamie cough up that money. He won't allow Jamie to know that tonight's beating was related to Rose. He furrowed his brows and quickly came up with a plan. "Throw out some bait in the name of Mr. Finch and lure Jamie into the stock market."He will retrieve every single penny Jamie had acquired from Rose. Shortly after, Jamie was placed back into a sack, and then loaded
"Alright." It took a while, but Rose responded to Jonathan as if making a promise. The lights in the ICU were still on. Jonathan inquired about the situation and called a renowned doctor from Harmony Hospital. After medical treatment, Oliver regained consciousness. He was transferred to the ICU, and Rose went to complete the admission formalities. Soon after, Miles arrived.Inside the ward, Jonathan looked at the figure on the bed. He immediately recognized who it was. He hadn't expected Oliver to visit Aquastead. What's more, he hadn't anticipated that the person Rose had talked about, the one who shared a birthday cake with her to celebrate their daughter's birthday, was none other than Oliver."Grandpa..."Miles entered the room in haste and saw the person on the bed with their eyes closed. He called out softly several times but received no response.It wasn't until he confirmed that all the instruments in the vicinity displayed normal status that he started to relax sligh
Miles and Anastasia were both puzzled. They exchanged a glance, and Anastasia hadn't quite grasped what was happening yet. She was about to tell Oliver that she was his granddaughter.Oliver seemed quite agitated, saying, "What? You don't want to? Being my granddaughter has many benefits, you know."Oliver dangled an enticement."Alright, I'll be your granddaughter!" Anastasia thought her grandfather was still not in his right mind, so she went along with his request. Oliver was overjoyed and immediately instructed Miles, "Good, good! Miles, prepare for a grand banquet. I want everyone to know that I've found her."Miles and Anastasia immediately grasped the reference in his mention of "her". It was undoubtedly Henrietta.Whether it was Harriette or Anastasia, their chance to enter the Young family was solely due to the striking resemblance of their eyes to Henrietta's.Mr. Young had been using those eyes as a form of repentance towards Henrietta. He was aware that his time was
"Envious, of course, I'm envious! It's the Young family from Regalia. Whoever that lucky one is must be thrilled for days and nights," Rose remarked with a gleam in her eyes. Just the thought of the Young family seemed to conjure endless wealth in her mind. Seeing her avid interest in the Young family, Jonathan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He wanted to tell her that no matter who the lucky one was, she had no reason to be jealous. She possessed far more than the fortunate individual. After all, the Finch family was the wealthiest in the entire nation."Are you going?" Jonathan asked cautiously."Of course, I have to go. I promised Mr. Miles, and I can't break my word," Rose responded. Jonathan's eyebrows furrowed. She can go, and he can choose not to attend, avoiding any encounters to protect his identity. But the fact that the invitation came from Miles made him uneasy. He couldn't trust Miles when it came to Rose. Without a doubt, he couldn't allow Miles to have this
