Miles smiled at Rose after he finished talking. But Rose was at a loss. Grandpa? The old man was Miles' grandfather? Wouldn't he be Mr. Young Senior of Regalia then? Also …She was the person he had wanted his grandfather to meet? Did she misunderstand something? It's not like a meeting with her lover's parents, right?Rose took a deep breath and avoided Miles' gaze. She told herself that it wasn't like a meeting with her lover's parents.Miles and her were friends. It was normal for someone to bring their friends to meet their older family members. But as a bystander, Zac was quite surprised.The way Miles had looked at Rose was suspicious. Suddenly, he realized something. Had Miles fallen for Rose now? Fuck!The relationship between Jonathan and Miles would never be restored now. That was Zac's first reaction. This time, Rose wasn't Harriette like before.Back then Miles developed feelings for Harriette that went beyond sibling affection. But he had always had reservations due
Kelly listened to the noises around her and found herself clenching her fists. How could it be Rose? Why was she the one?Not too far away, Nixon watched Rose with a shocked expression on his face. He would have given anything for it not to be Rose at that moment.However, Oliver seemed to be placing a lot of his hope on Rose."I guess I underestimated Rose."Chloe never thought that Oliver would end up asking Rose to be his granddaughter. This was such a huge opportunity, and Rose just walked right into it!If only Nixon had managed to control Rose back then, the Lane family and the Young family would have been in-laws by now!Everyone's eyes were on Rose. Rose, on the other hand, didn't know what to do or how to react. Suddenly, Oliver sighed heavily and a single tear slid down his cheek.Rose suddenly recalled how much Oliver missed his daughter when they were at the park. Eventually, her resolve crumbled."Alright," she said.Almost immediately, the light returned to Olive
Rose turned around. Miles' gaze made her freeze in place"Is there something you want to talk to me about?"Rose recalled the incident earlier when she admitted she was Oliver's granddaughter.Feeling like she should give Miles an explanation, she said, "I didn't know he was Mr. Young Senior, Miles. We met purely out of coincidence the other day … "She explained what happened the other day, including how she sent Oliver to the hospital."But I'm still not sure why he's taken me on as his granddaughter."As if recalling something, Rose then took out the card Oliver had given her during the event before."Could you help me return this to Mr. Young Senior, Miles?"It was too precious a gift. Miles remained staring right at Rose, not accepting the card she handed him. Silence fell in the air between them.Rose began feeling uncomfortable with his staring. She was about to explain herself further when Miles smiled. It was an exasperated, bitter one."If Grandpa hears you calling
Kelly's eyes sparkled with anticipation. She was determined to find out why Oliver had chosen Rose. If possible, she would stop at nothing to shatter Rose's dream of becoming a part of the Youngs.But where should she start? Suddenly, Kelly remembered the woman she had seen in the main hall of Young Estate today.She recalled that when Oliver announced Rose as his new granddaughter, that young lady had appeared surprised. Oliver called her Anastasia.Kelly's eyes lit up as she hastily took out her phone and searched for the name "Anastasia". Anastasia Young, the heiress to the Young family. It turned out she was originally a member of the Youngs!Since Anastasia didn't like Rose, perhaps Kelly could start with Anastasia. With this thought in mind, Kelly's excitement gradually grew.She silently vowed, "Mom, I know what to do now. Don't worry. If the Lane family wants to use me to please Rose, I'll make them regret it someday."…The next day, Rose went to the office as usual. Up
Rose felt dumbfounded, and she found the world quite amusing. Even when she was engaged to Nixon, Chloe always called her "Rose" and maintained an air of superiority.Rose had never seen Chloe act so warmly."Mrs. Lane Senior, I have something else to do. I'll take my leave," Rose said calmly, brushing Chloe's hand away.This stunned Chloe, but immediately, her expression changed slightly as she seemed to notice something. Following her line of sight, Rose saw Nixon and Kelly hand in hand as they approached.It appeared that before Rose and Chloe noticed them, Nixon had whispered some flirtatious words to Kelly, making her blush."Ahem, ahem."Chloe cleared her throat, finally catching the attention of Nixon and Kelly. The two of them were momentarily stunned and quickly released each other's hands.Nixon even gave Kelly a little push, which made her lose her balance and fall to the ground."Ah!" she cried out in pain.Just as Nixon wanted to help her up, Chloe cleared her thr
Smiling, Rose left the room. Nixon noticed the word "husband" on her phone. Then he heard her answer the call from behind."Hubby."Her voice was sweet and affectionate. It was as if she wanted to tell Nixon and the others that she was happy in her married life and that they should all keep their distance.Frowning, Nixon looked to Chloe for help. Yet Chloe had a dark expression and didn't say a word. She looked at Kelly with disdain, as if she were channeling all her resentment toward the latter.Once Rose was far away, Chloe pointed fingers and voiced her contempt."If it weren't for some woman back then, Nixon and Rose would have been married a long time ago. If that person had any self-awareness, she should have stayed far away and not appeared in our sight."She seemed to have forgotten her original plan of sending Rose to Jonathan to secure a better future for the Lane family.Hearing that, Kelly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she couldn't bear to stay any longer. She
"It's not necessary."Rose smiled. She wished she had covered his mouth earlier. How did he make such a request?She glanced around, intending to remind him that this was a public place. Wouldn't he feel embarrassed to be fed in public. However, she didn't understand Jonathan's thoughts at all.For him, there's no problem being fed by his wife in public. After all, he was not being fed by others.He lowered his eyebrows sadly as he said, "I'm kind enough to help you. I don't even ask for interest on the one billion …"Rose almost wanted to ask him to ask for interest instead of asking to be fed.However, as she realized the amount of interest of one billion, she immediately felt that feeding him didn't seem to be difficult.Taking a deep breath, she quickly cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth. As she did this, she looked around cautiously, making sure that no one would notice.Even so, she didn't dare to delay for a moment. After feeding him the steak, she quickl
When Rose returned to the company, Jonathan stayed in the reception room of Celeste Jewels all afternoon like an unemployed vagrant.Anastasia followed to Century tower. She stared at the exit of the building. As everyone got off work, Rose and Jonathan walked out hand in hand. Jonathan's eyes seemed to be fixed on Rose.Seeing the two of them getting into the car, Anastasia's hand holding the steering wheel was trembling. She followed the two of them all the way to Zenwood Gardens.They went home like an ordinary couple. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have never believed that Jonathan, who always gave cold eyes to other women approaching, seemed to take the initiative to stick to Rose.Anastasia then went back to Young Estate.Upon seeing her, Oliver frowned and asked, "Where's Rosie?"Anastasia clenched her fists. However, as if nothing happened, she soon put on a smile."Grandpa, have you forgotten? She doesn't live here.""She's the granddaughter of th
As expected, Rose slowly began to reveal her thoughts and plans. "After this design won an award, Jonathan purchased the design draft, which means that these couple rings are unique and not available as any other product on the market."But now, she wanted to start mass-producing these couple rings.She wanted to turn this ring into a product known by everyone, so wherever Jonathan might be, if he happened to see it, he would know she was thinking of him. However…"Red diamonds are rare and extremely valuable…" Rose trailed off.Olivia frowned, realizing that even if this ring went into mass production, not many people would be able to afford it.But Rose made up her mind that no matter how great the cost was, nothing was more important than having Jonathan return. Besides, the one thing she currently wasn't lacking would probably be money and resources."Young Group still has some red diamonds in their inventory. The Xanth family has several mines in Frenchaa. The red diamonds w
Natalie also noticed Ava standing up.The two of them paused for a moment, and with a brief exchange of glances, they understood what the other was about to do.The mental process Natalie went through just now was interesting. She was trembling with fear.She never expected that all the praise Rose just gave in the office was actually about Olivia. Additionally, Rose considered Olivia as her sister!Ah! She was thinking about making a good impression on Rose, trying to win her over and outshine Olivia. But now, how could she compare? She couldn't compare! She just couldn't compare with that.She could no longer view Olivia as a rival, as Olivia simply wasn't worthy of that status. What she needed to focus on now was changing Olivia's negative impression of her. So, she was going to apologize!Natalie and Ava went to Olivia's office.Olivia didn't pay much attention to their arrival and acted as usual. It wasn't until she noticed they weren't discussing work after coming in tha
Natalie had just delivered the coffee. Did Rose not drink it?"Is Ms. Lenner in the office? I have a document that needs her signature. Where did she go?" Rose asked."I saw her heading toward the pantry just now, and she was holding two cups in her hands. How strange…"Natalie was jolted awake after hearing that voice.Olivia went to the pantry, and Rose had also gone into the pantry.Natalie felt a strange sensation in her heart. Almost as if guided by an unseen force, she walked toward the pantry.Inside the pantry, Olivia squeezed a glass of juice for Rose.Yesterday, she received a call from Miles. During the call, Miles instructed her to take good care of Rose after she joined the design department. He emphasized that she should not be overworked, showing great concern for Rose's well-being.When she connected this with how she accidentally saw Rose feeling nauseous yesterday, Olivia began to suspect something.Olivia gazed at the freshly squeezed orange juice in her han
Rose's compliment caught everyone present off guard once again. Did Rose acknowledge Olivia?This… Why was it different from what they expected?"Ms. Shaffer, Ms. Lenner's capabilities as a manager are well recognized by everyone. But now that you're here, the director position is obviously yours. Don't…"Rose glanced at the person who started speaking and recognized who it was.From the moment she walked in, she could sense this person's resentment toward Olivia. There was dissatisfaction that Olivia, who had only recently joined the department, was appointed as the design director for Young's House of Jewels.Rose's eyes seemed to have the ability to see through a person's thoughts or feelings.She interrupted the person, smiling softly, and said, "Being a design director is hard work. I'll leave the responsibility and the burden to Ms. Lenner. I won't take on the role."What she meant was that she didn't come here to experience hardship and toil.Indeed, even if some of her
Olivia was not embarrassed when she was caught. In fact, she seemed relieved. "Ms. Shaffer, I haven't done well enough. Now that you're here, I'd like to request a job change. If I could become your assistant and you give me the opportunity to learn, that would be even better."Her decision wasn't influenced by the mockery she overheard earlier in the lounge.Upon hearing that Rose was coming to Young's House of Jewels, she had already made up her mind.She learned that Rose was once the champion of a national jewelry design competition. Her designs were highly praised within the industry. Rose had already become her idol.The position of design director was perfect for Rose.She willingly decided to be Rose's secretary.When Olivia made the request, she was extremely nervous, fearing that Rose might reject her."I disagree," Rose said clearly.It was as Olivia expected. There was clearly a hint of disappointment in Olivia's eyes as if her high hopes had ended in disappointment
Rose nodded. "Okay.""Don't overwork yourself," Clover said."Okay."Miles chimed in, "Whatever happens, always be honest with us.""Okay."Miles and Clover gave their advice one after another, and Rose agreed to everything. She understood that their advice came from a place of care for her."Miles, Clover, don't worry. I'll be fine," Rose said with a gentle smile on her face.Her smile left the two of them momentarily dazed.Ever since Jonathan went missing, even when Rose managed to smile, it was with a sense of sadness that tugged at their hearts. But at this moment, it seemed like she had returned to her former self—Lively, playful, pure, and warm.She even said she would be just fine!At that moment, Mile and Clover finally felt a bit of relief from the worries they had been carrying for some time.They continued their search for Jonathan every day without fail, but each time returned with no news. They weren't sure if Jonathan would ever come back.If Jonathan didn'
Kelly's laugh was particularly eerie.Even Anastasia couldn't help but frown as she felt a chill run down her spine.Kelly's laughter echoed through the empty room, and after some amount of time, Kelly murmured a name."Rose! My name is Rose! Yes, I'm Rose!"I am the true heir of the Young family. I am the daughter of Elijah from Lerain Group. I have a caring brother and a loving husband. I am also pregnant..."Kelly touched her belly and said, "I'm pregnant, and I'm really happy. Haha! I'm Rose! I'm Rose. Do you want to congratulate me?"Kelly looked at Anastasia. Her expression looked very eerily strange.Anastasia stared at Kelly for a while. Had Kelly gone insane? Was it genuine insanity, or was she just pretending to be insane?She was considering herself as Rose?But how could someone like Kelly be capable enough to consider herself Rose?"You're not Rose!" Anastasia said slowly.Even if Kelly truly had lost her mind, Anastasia wouldn't let her hide in the perfect worl
"Something major happened in recent days," Anastasia said.Anastasia's tone made Kelly instinctively feel that the so-called big news she was talking about was definitely not something she wanted to hear.Kelly's eyes showed a hint of fear—she wanted to avoid learning about this so-called big news.Unfortunately, she was at another's mercy, like a fish on the chopping block.Anastasia aimed to torment her not just physically but also mentally, making her feel like living was worse than dying."No—"As soon as Kelly began to speak, Anastasia interrupted her potential refusal by saying, "Rose is pregnant."Kelly's expression clearly showed she was taken aback for a moment.She didn't want to listen, but each word in that sentence pierced her eardrums like needles. It seeped into her skin like poison and echoed persistently in her mind.Rose was pregnant. She was pregnant with Jonathan's child!In her mind, these words played out a scene like grass in spring, sprouting and growi
"He'll come back!" Rose spoke with determination.Sometimes no news was the best news—Jonathan might have encountered some unavoidable situation.As long as his body hadn't been found, he was still alive.She knew that they would continue searching, and all she could do was take care of the baby in her womb and wait for him to return.Jonathan would come back!Ezra was moved once again by her determination. "Yes, he will come back. He definitely will."…At that moment, in a hospital, the person lying in the bed was in a coma, but they moved their fingers slightly.But it was only for a moment, and it was as if nothing had happened.…In a nondescript mountain area in Regalia, a car made its way up and finally stopped outside an unremarkable house.Anastasia got out of the car and walked straight to the door.It seemed that someone was expecting her arrival. The door was opened from the inside, and she was respectfully invited in.The door closed as if nothing had ever hap
