Anastasia deliberately made her words ambiguous. Rose looked a little awkward when she got the phone.On the other end of the phone, Miles was also awkward. He wanted to explain, but he gave up the idea of explaining after thinking about something."Since you're awake, I'll ask my assistant to pick you up."He didn't want Rose to continue to stay at Young Estate. Although the existing evidence did not prove that Anastasia did anything to her. However, he was still worried about her.After finishing his words, he hung up the phone. Rose stared at the phone for a long time.Anastasia asked curiously, "Rosie, what did Miles say?""He said to ask his assistant to pick me up …"Thinking that Miles must be looking for her for something, she didn't delve deep into it. However, Anastasia knew that Miles was guarding against her.Nevertheless, she had told Rose everything she intended to.Thinking of Jonathan, she looked at Rose with a complicated expression as she asked, "Have you met
At this question, Mandy suddenly froze."What has nothing to do with you?" Rose asked again.Mandy's eyes flashed as she hid her panic and said, "What did I say? I said nothing.""I remember you were on the cruise that day," Rose said calmly. "Did you get in touch with Laurence?"As if she had been caught, Mandy pushed her away with an unexpected force."Get in touch? Even though I was there, I had no interaction with him at all.""Is that so?" Rose didn't believe in her.With such a big reaction, she was guilty. However, she couldn't force her to tell the truth in this way.She raised her eyebrows slightly as she said, "Okay. Since you said you didn't have interaction with him, I'll believe in you. Goodbye."With that, she waved to her and left with a smile. Meanwhile, Mandy was still in a daze. She thought Rose would press for more questions, but she simply left.Thinking of something, she hurriedly took out her phone and saw several unfamiliar numbers on it. Knowing that i
He looked everywhere but couldn't find Rose."Jonathan!" he cursed through gritted teeth as he called Jonathan back, but no one answered.At this moment, Jonathan had driven Rose to Zenwood Gardens with satisfaction.As his phone kept ringing with calls, Rose couldn't help but remind him, "Aren't you going to answer it?"Jonathan knew who was calling without looking."Ignore irrelevant people and irrelevant things."He didn't even look at his phone as he turned the volume down to the lowest level and allowed the other party to continue calling.After returning to Zenwood Gardens, Jonathan waited until Rose fell asleep before going out again. In the hospital, Mandy suffered a broken leg and underwent surgery.Shortly after she was sent to the ward, she was moved out. As the anesthetic had just worn off, she opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by darkness.The pain in her legs made her scream out subconsciously. Just then, the lights in the room turned on with a snap. A
Mandy didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe it. If Rose's husband was Mr. Finch, what she did on the cruise …A hint of guilt flashed in her eyes as she said, "I did nothing."Not only were her words not convincing, she also sounded unthoughtful.Jonathan glanced at Finley, who quickly dialed the phone and uttered, "Continue."In just a few minutes, the curve on the screen went down. Just then, Mandy's mother called."It's gone, it's all gone. Our family is finished. Your dad couldn't bear the situation and suffered a heart attack. He was sent to the hospital. Mandy, you killed the Walts family."Her tone was full of accusations. Mandy's face ashened. The stubborn insistence just now had broken down. She suddenly looked at the man on the sofa with agitation."Mr. Finch, I'll say it. I saw Mr. Gibson drinking unhappily because of the conflict with Rose, so I deliberately went to provoke him. I …"She almost told him she added the drug to Laurence's wine. However, she
As she and her star escort husband were sitting in the restaurant, the weirdness within Rose's heart didn't dissipate.She stared at him for a long time and suddenly said, "Did you bring me out on purpose?"Jonathan's eyelashes trembled. He did it on purpose as he was worried that Mandy would say something she shouldn't say. That's why he came in a hurry. However, he couldn't let her know that he meant it."What?"He rarely acted ignorant.Without looking at her, he cut the steak in front of him and continued, "Besides, why should I do it on purpose?"This was what Rose couldn't figure out. Thinking of what Mandy said just now, she found it funny."I don't know what happened to Mandy. She asked me to beg Mr. Finch to spare the Walts family. Mr. Finch wants to destroy the Walt family. What does it have to do with me? How can I say anything?"She told it to him like a joke. A hint of guilt flashed across Jonathan's eyes.His impression of Mr. Finch in Rose's heart had never impr
Celeste's photo … Chelsea hurriedly ran out of Kelly's room. After a few minutes, she turned back."Have you found it?" Kelly asked impatiently.Chelsea looked solemn as she said, "No. When Celeste died, I made excuses to ask your dad to burn her photos. I thought he would secretly keep one or two of them, but I went to look for them just now, and there's not even one left."Kelly's eyes darkened slightly. It would be fine if Rose just had eyes that looked like Oliver's daughter. If his daughter was Celeste, Rose would be the only bloodline of the Young family.In that case … She didn't want to think about the result. Taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth unwillingly. Suddenly, Chelsea seemed to have thought of something as her eyes lit up."There's someone … There's someone who must know whether Celeste belongs to the Young family.""Who?""Angelica."Although Chelsea didn't know what the relationship between Angelica and Celeste was, she had heard Jamie mention several
After the crowd dispersed, he saw Rose's profile. He originally wanted to look for her at noon. Unexpectedly, she came over. She was wearing a lavender dress, her hair was shawl-length.Right now, she folded her arms in front of her chest, as if she had won a fight as she looked at Nixon disdainfully. Then, she suddenly turned around.The smile on Jonathan's face froze slightly. He turned his back almost subconsciously.After making sure that Rose didn't see him, he ordered Finley, "Have someone ask Rose to come up."With that, he turned around and got on the elevator. Nixon was about to explode with anger. Upon seeing that Rose was about to leave, he chased after him unwillingly."Rose, you …"As he was about to call her, someone walked up to Rose and said, "Ms. Shaffer, Mr. Finch asked you to come up."Nixon recognized him as a well-respected executive of Finch Group. Did he come to pick up Rose in person? He glanced at Rose, not daring to make a fuss.It was the second time
"Breathe!" Jonathan reminded kindly.There was a hint of tease in his tone. Rose took a long breath. When she realized that she had been caught, her face turned even redder.She pushed her star escort husband away and averted her eyes. She wanted to let this matter go, but Jonathan laughed as he realized her intentions to escape.Rose immediately looked over with a fierce gaze as he laughed at her. Even though she didn't say a word, the look in her eyes was full of warning, as if she was going to hit him if he kept laughing."Okay, okay. I didn't realize anything," Jonathan said as if surrendering.Rose was sulky. What did he mean by he didn't realize anything? What did he realize? Just as she was about to say something, Jonathan held her hand.The warmth of his palm made her startled slightly.He looked at her seriously as he said, "The place we are going is a bit far, so you can sleep for a while."His tone was gentle, and his eyes gave a slight illusion as if he only had her
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
