In other words, she implied that he should not disturb her and it would be best if he left. Jonathan abruptly halted, his hand trembling slightly. It felt like something was tearing at his heart.

He didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay with her, but he was afraid that it might upset her.

"You sleep. I'll be right outside," Jonathan took a deep breath as his gaze lingered on Rose in the bed.

After a while, he walked lightly to the door. He didn't leave. Instead, he sat on a nearby chair. Rose didn't say anything more.

If he didn't leave, then so be it. She needed to sleep. She didn't want a clear mind, recalling those unbearable scenes. Perhaps exhausted, Rose fell asleep not long after.

Hearing her even breathing, Jonathan stayed in the room for a long time. He only left when dawn was approaching.

Despite a sleepless night, Jonathan showed no signs of tiredness. As he exited the room, he noticed a camera on the dining table.

It wasn't something from their house. Jonathan too

    Even now, Nixon clung to a sense of luck, but reality offered him no room for such illusions. With a cold scoff, Jonathan kept Nixon blindfolded. Even though Nixon couldn't see Jonathan's expression, the silence that followed the sneer intensified his fear. Suddenly, he remembered the county clerk's office system, where Rose's spouse information remained undisclosed. Who else but Jonathan could manipulate a system to hide such information?Realizing his grave mistake, Nixon began to plead."Uncle Jonathan, I was wrong. I shouldn't have harbored any thoughts towards Aunt Rose."Nixon changed his address to "Aunt Rose" in hope to emphasize the connection between the Lane family and the Finch family. However, Jonathan recalled the image from the camera and mercilessly pressed his foot onto Nixon's face."If you know you shouldn't harbor such thoughts, why do you continue to linger on her?"Jonathan's voice cut through the air like icy blades.Terrified, Nixon pleaded, "I won'

Chloe, thinking about the news brought by Hayden early in the morning, couldn't care less about anyone's feelings.She saw Kelly in a daze and immediately reached out to grab her wrist."Kelly, where is Nixon?"Kelly's face was burning with pain. She shook off Chloe's hand indignantly."I don't know!"Those cold, indifferent words were Kelly's polite response to Chloe.But in the next moment, Chloe stared at her for a full thirty seconds.

    Rose shook off the thoughts in her mind.After applying medicine in the bathroom, she felt a sense of oppression in her heart. As she was about to leave the room for some fresh air, a tall figure came into view as she opened the door.Star escort husband?He was still in last night's clothes. His hair was disheveled probably due to not sleeping all night. His beard had grown as well. For a moment, Rose thought she might be seeing things. "Rose, you're awake. I applied medicine to your mouth last night. Let me take you to the hospital to get it treated."Jonathan spoke cautiously while looking at Rose with eager eyes, as if a dog waiting for its owner's response.Rose didn't want to speak because of the pain. Any movements in her mouth would trigger the pain. She gestured for Jonathan to step aside.He complied quickly and followed her around for the entire morning.

    Chloe's expression looked visibly unpleasant. Half an hour later, Nixon was cleaned up and dressed, but he remained unconscious. In the spacious living room of the Lanes' residence.Everyone's expression looked particularly unpleasant. Caleb hurriedly came out of Nixon's room on the second floor and walked over to Chole. He looked at her, hesitating to speak. "How's Nixon?" Chloe asked. Chloe took a quick glance earlier, thinking that Nixon had just been undressed. Caleb, avoiding eye contact, appeared nervous. "Tell me!" Chloe urged. Caleb lowered his head and honestly reported, "Mr. Nixon had injuries on his body, some bruises. Should I call a doctor?" "Just some minor injuries, he'll be fine," Chloe said without much concern. What Caleb said next made her turn pale. "Mr. Nixon has a tear in his body, as if it's been stretched open …" Caleb didn't finish speaking, but everyone there seemed to have understood. Stretched … open …If Chloe didn't constantly criticize S

    Rose's eyes remained fixed on Jonathan's face. She wouldn't want to miss any expression of her star escort ex-husband.The mention of Mr. Finch caused Jonathan to nervously hold his breath. At that moment, he contemplated confessing the truth if Rose correctly identified his identity.He even pondered ways to amend her negative impression of Mr. Finch but was taken aback by her unexpected question."Are you … Mr. Finch's … cousin?" she said with a frown, seemingly doubtful of her guess.She shook her head and mumbled, "No, that's impossible."Mr. Finch's cousin must have a high social standing as well. Her star escort ex-husband might look aristocratic, but he certainly could not rival the Finch Family.Jonathan found her confusion amusing. When she ceased asking him questions, he fell silent as well. However, she soon announced, "I'm going to the Finch Building later."The Finch Building? Jonathan nearly choked on his soup. "Why?""To meet with Jonathan Finch!" she declare

    "Go easy on him?" Rose snorted. "Sorry, I'm not a saint."Kelly was the saint, not her!Jonathan let out a low chuckle before saying darkly, "He brought it upon himself to have the nerve to harm you!"Rose was startled. As she stared at the silhouette behind the partition, she got the strange feeling that she was someone important to him.But, he only helped her deal with the Lanes because of her husband …Rose was still thinking when the voice behind the partition continued, "Nixon has been admitted to a psychiatric facility. The Lanes' company shares have taken a nosedive. They can't hold out much longer. The Lanes' assets will be put on auction to pay off their bank loans."Once the Lane family has gone bankrupt, they won't try to mess with you anymore."Rose was still fixated on the first part of Jonathan's sentence."Hang on. Has Nixon gone mad?"Jonathan did not reply. Still, Rose got the picture. As long as Nixon had been institutionalized, it did not matter whether he

    As Finley stared at the mountain of documents in front of him, he felt the urge to ram his head against the desk and end his life. All he could do now was hope that Jonathan would be merciful."Ms. Shaffer, truth be told, I only made it over there in time because of Mr. Finch and your husband … He was the one who told me to go over. He was the one who was most concerned about your safety …"Knowing that Jonathan was listening, Finley did his best to placate the former. Rose looked at Jonathan. She could not hide how taken aback she was when she heard Finley's explanation.Jonathan was in a pretty good mood.Seemingly demurring, he cleared his throat and said to Finley, "Since you're busy, we won't force you. You should go home and get some rest soon."Finley felt like he had been given a second chance at life. He nearly fell on his knees in gratitude.Once the call ended, the atmosphere became a little ambiguous. Jonathan had no qualms about looking straight at Rose, but the latt

    Rose said the word hubby in the most coquettish voice she could muster.As soon as it came out of her mouth, she sensed the way Jonathan stiffened ever so slightly.

There was no use regretting her actions now.Thus, she steeled herself and smiled sweetly. She looked at Jonathan with a gentle, expectant gaze.

    Jonathan's voice clearly expressed dissatisfaction.Rose felt a bit uneasy. She focused on keeping her composure, appearing as though she hadn't heard anything.Nearby, Jonathan, sitting on the couch, furrowed his brows.Something felt off, very off.He had been watching Rose for a long time, and usually, she should have felt his gaze by now and looked back at him. Then there would be a moment of eye contact, which would set the stage for him to make his next move.But…Was she not aware of being watched?Jonathan tried winking and making himself noticeable, but she still didn't respond.Something felt off, really off!So, he had no choice but to try a different approach.

She was determined to figure it out.As she was trying to piece things together, she heard Miles slowly say, "I only have one sister left. What should I do?"His tone was filled with anguish.Kelly snapped back to reality, determined to be supportive at a time when Miles was in pain. She reassured him, saying, "Miles, I will be by your side for the rest of my life!"There was only one sister left… Of course, it was her!"Is ten percent of the shares enough?" Miles immediately asked.If calming Miles earlier was her task, then after hearing his question now, she became fully alert.It wasn't e

    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?

    Rose often wore that necklace.Kelly had complimented the necklace, saying it looked beautiful and that she wanted to buy one as well.

    "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.

    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.
