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
The group of people plunged toward Rose. She took a deep breath and quickly got into the water. As the men plunged for nothing, the girls on the shore were anxious.After searching around, someone suddenly pointed to a place and said, "Hurry up, she's there."Everyone in the pool looked in the direction the girl pointed. Just then, Rose had swam behind one of them.When those people turned around, she suddenly emerged from the water, clenching her fists, and punched the nearest person in the face."Ah …" he screamed.As everyone was stunned, Rose took the opportunity to dive into the water."What are you doing? Don't let her run away!" the girls on the shore urged.At their words, someone in the pool exclaimed. The next moment, he sank into the water. In a panic, he kept trying to push away the hand holding his ankle, but every foot fell on his companion.There was chaos in the pool for a moment. The girls around were furious. However, Rose had left the pool without everyone kn
The men and women in the wet walked up to Miles. As they were about to apologize, Miles stopped them."It's fine."His voice was cold. The people felt happy as they thought he was letting them go for their parents' sake.However, Miles continued, "You should apologize to her, not me."He didn't even look at them. His eyes swept across Thomas and landed on Rose."Her?"The girls' faces were full of disdain. Rose was just Miles's female companion, why did they need to apologize to her? Thomas glanced at Rose, not intending to speak.A sneer flashed in Rose's eyes. Suddenly, she met Miles's gaze and said, "Miles, I'm cold. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."With that, she turned around. As soon as she took a step, Miles strode after her. At the same time, Howard also followed her."I'll go with you together …""I'll send you."The two of them spoke almost in unison and arrived at Rose's side at the same time. Rose's address to Miles was still echoing in everyone's
Rose and Miles returned to Young Estate. They left the ball early. Upon returning to Young Estate, they found Oliver hadn't rested yet.Oliver personally approached Rose. He noticed she coming in wrapped in a towel, wearing Miles' suit jacket, and with soaking wet hair."Rose, what happened? How did you end up like this?"Rose sneezed immediately after Oliver's words.Oliver's expression turned grimmer. He immediately directed the butler, "Hurry, have May set up the bath. Rose, go take a shower first, don't catch a cold."Rose did need a soak in a hot bath. She gave Oliver a reassuring glance but didn't say much, then proceeded upstairs to her room.Oliver's expression grew even more grim.He glanced at Miles and asked in a cold tone, "If I recall correctly, tonight was the Chambers twins' birthday ball. You take Rose out, and this is how you both come back? What went wrong?"Filled with self-condemnation, Miles said, "It's my fault for not protecting her. We faced some unpleas
Jonathan's face brightened with a smile.As the car was about to enter the underground parking, he suddenly said, "Stop the car."Finley was momentarily stunned, wondering if there was an issue with his wound.He swiftly stopped the car and inquired, "Mr. Finch, is it your wound ...""I'm fine," Jonathan said, his gaze still fixed on the area where the light was shining.Despite claiming to be okay, more sweat appeared on his forehead.Tracing his gaze, Finley observed a place lit up by lights. It suddenly dawned on him that Jonathan wasn't heading home but trying to ascertain if Rose was at home."Let's go!"Jonathan feared someone might be tracking them and didn't want to stay around for too long. Finley grasped his order and immediately drove off.At this moment, Anastasia hurriedly got out of the car at the lobby of Aquastead Hotel.While she remained at the hospital, the news of Jonathan's discreet departure reached her. She knew he must have gone to find Rose. She place
Rose's cheeks flushed, visibly pausing for a moment.But then, she felt extremely dizzy and asked, "Husband? What husband?"Rose glanced at her phone, yet her vision remained hazy. Weariness washed over her, and she settled into the couch, her breathing gradually calming. The phone screen remained on the call.Jonathan's expression turned serious."Rose?"He called out multiple times but received no reply. He knew Rose must have passed out from being drunk!He was genuinely concerned that she had no one to care for her. Jonathan eventually endured the pain and called for Finley."Mr. Finch?" Finley stepped into the bedroom, greeted by the sight of Jonathan bare-chested. Then came Jonathan's instructions, "Fetch me the bodyguard's attire."His sudden request left Finley momentarily speechless.He hesitated for a second and promptly inquired, "Mr. Finch, why do you need the bodyguard's attire?""I asked you to fetch it, so just do it. Hurry up, why so much unnecessary talk?" Jo
Reflected in the mirror, Jonathan's complexion appeared pallid, and his lips mirrored the same pallor. Nevertheless, the evident marks of the cracked lips were hard to miss.Jonathan remembered Rose's bite last night and noticed Zac's gaze becoming more and more mocking."What are you looking at?" Jonathan threw the mirror back in Zac's direction. Zac swiftly caught it and couldn't help but tease, "Mr. Finch, you're injured, you ought to go easy on yourself!""Get lost!" Jonathan closed his eyes and issued the order to leave.He was aware of his injury. Without the injury, last night would have been more than a kiss. He had never had self-control when it came to Rose.Zac sneered and turned to leave, but Jonathan suddenly stopped him, "Zac..."Zac turned back."Mr. Finch, do you have any instructions?""Take care of Rose for me." Jonathan stared into Zac's eyes and spoke seriously, "I'm being followed. I need to keep a low profile around Rose for a while. If those from Rega
