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
Rose was startled. Then she heard her star escort husband say lovingly, "Could you not go to the party tonight?"His seductive voice was enough to make her overthink. Rose started blushing. He was asking her to not go to the party tonight. Could it be because he wanted to … Rose's imagination started to run wild. She could feel her ears getting hot. She lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes.She said, "I can't do that …""Why can't you do that? What's so special about the party anyway? Why don't you stay here with me and …"Seeing that the star escort husband was starting to get ahead of himself, Rose quickly pressed her hand on his lips. Jonathan was surprised. His lips touched her palm. He was confused about her reaction. Looking at Rose avoiding eye contact and her blushing cheeks, he suddenly realized what she was thinking. Jonathan chuckled. Rose was bewildered by his giggling. She raised her head and looked right into Jonathan's teasing eyes. "What are yo
Jonathan needed my help? Was it related to little beauty? Zac could tell right away. He knew Jonathan too well. Jonathan didn't give care about anyone else, but he had a soft spot for little beauty.Jonathan needed his help? Did it mean he would finally get to meet little beauty in person?"Sure, of course. I didn't plan to go, but since you ask, I will make sure that I'm there," Zac excitedly promised.The agenda for the party tonight is for Oliver to reunite with his long-lost granddaughter. Miles arranged for the party to take place in a resort villa that the Youngs owned in Aquasted.A day before, Oliver checked out of the hospital and was sent to the villa. Anastasia had been taking care of Oliver ever since.The party was approaching, and Anastasia and Oliver were choosing the dress and suit they would wear for the party later. Miles was standing outside the room, looking at Oliver with a musing gaze.He then summoned the doctor to his room.He asked the doctor, "Did it ta
Kelly was surprised to hear Rose's name. Before she could react, Anastasia recognized Rose as well."Oh, it's you."She smiled slightly. She almost couldn't recognize her today, what with her kindly and ingratiating attitude. It turned out that she was the woman who had miscarried that day at the museum!She and Rose were enemies!"Are you her sister?"Anastasia knew that the woman who had bailed out Rose at the police station was her sister. However, Kelly looked confused. Seeing this, Anastasia smiled."Are you feeling better after your miscarriage, Ms. Shaffer?"Kelly was taken aback. She immediately remembered Anastasia: she was the woman in the toilet that day!She had been so focused on getting Rose in trouble that she hadn't paid any attention to anyone else.According to Nixon, another woman had been present as a witness when Rose had produced the surveillance footage. It was her! Kelly was flustered."It was all a misunderstanding," she explained hastily. "I was just
