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
Jonathan smiled fondly as he stared at Rose's sleeping face. Worried that she would refuse when she was awake, he took out the ring the put it on her finger while she was asleep.When Rose woke up, the sun had just risen from the horizon. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was stunned by the scenery in front of her.Time seemed to freeze. After a long while, she looked at her star escort husband beside her. In the dim light, his handsome profile seemed to blend into the beautiful scenery.Her heartbeat was pounding. As if she was afraid that her star escort husband would find her peeking at her, she turned her head guiltily.However, her heartbeat couldn't stop. Suddenly, she seemed to have touched something. She was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head.Upon seeing the ring on her ring finger, she recognized it immediately."This …"Her eyes widened in surprise. She checked the ring repeatedly and made sure it was the one she designed for the National Jewelry Design
In the luxury car, Anastasia waved to her."Rosie, get in the car quickly."Rose responded to her enthusiasm with a smile. After getting in the car, Anastasia saw the rig on her hand. After just one glance, she looked away without exploring too much.She knew that the ring must have been given to Rose by Jonathan. As Oliver saw Rose, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. After the dinner, Rose and Miles took Oliver's measurements together.Miles discovered the ring on her hand. He recognized it at a glance as the one that Jonathan had taken at the National Jewelry Design Award. A hint of unusualness flashed in his eyes.When they were taking Oliver's measurements, Anastasia also found the origin of the ring on Rose's hand."500 million …"She had heard that Jonathan tok the pair of rings designed by Rose. However, she didn't expect that the ring was in Rose's hand now. She has seen the red diamond before.After the Finches got the red diamond, several female relatives wanted
Rose stared at the ring. It was rare to see such a big diamond that looked so genuine. It would be a pity to throw it away. She would just wear it. She took the ring and put it back in her hand angrily.However, she ignored Howard as she walked forward. The smile on Howard's face froze. He had brought the ring to her. Did she forget to say something to him?Nevertheless, from her angry expression, she seemed to be filled with thoughts of the person who made her angry. He immediately chased after her and walked side by side with her."Since he made you angry, why are you still thinking about him? Why don't you forget about him?"Forgot about him?Before Rose could say anything, he continued, "If you forget about him, I'll introduce you to a better one?"Rose wondered what he was talking about. Upon seeing Rose frowning in confusion, Howard smiled evilly as he stood in front of her."How about me? Am I on par with the man who made you angry?"He winked at her. Rose halted her ste
Upon seeing that their expression darkened, Maya immediately said, "Madeline, today's your birthday. I shouldn't say this to affect your mood. But we are friends, and I can't hide some things from you."Madeline's face finally softened.Then, she twitched the corner of her mouth as she said, "It's alright. I know you are doing it for my good. It's just that …"She had liked Miles since she was a child. It hadn't changed in all these years. As the other girls noticed her sudden depression, they immediately targeted the cousin mentioned by Maya."Who is your cousin? Is she prettier than Madeline? Does she have a better family background?""Madeline, don't worry. Maya, tell me your cousin's name. I'll teach her a lesson and let her know that she couldn't just seduce any man."They were filled with indignation. This played into Maya's wish.She frowned as she said, "She's my cousin. Even though she has a good appearance, she's good at playing tricks. She's already married, but she c
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
