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
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
