Jamie was about to explode. Rose didn't consider his dignity at all. However, he was unwilling to let go of the overwhelming wealth of the Young family."Damn Rose!" He couldn't help but curse again.He shouldn't give up so quickly. He wanted to turn his mind to Celeste again. He felt that if Rose could give him 500 million for Celeste, she could agree to any other request he made for Celeste again.How was he going to threaten her? As he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded behind him. "You're cursing my sister!"The woman's voice sounded angry. Jamie turned around and recognized her at a glance. "Ms. Young …""Do you know me?" Anastasia was a bit surprised.Jamie instantly put on a flattering look on his face as he said, "Of course I know. Young's House of Jewels is the leader in the jewelry industry. You and Mr. Young are both industry leaders. I've seen you in the media."Then, he took out his business card. "This is my business card."Anastasia took a look at the b
The reception was scheduled to be held in a villa owned by the Young family in the city. It was the first time Rose came here.As the biggest protagonist of the reception, Oliver specially arranged a team to be responsible for her makeup.Her dress today was a limited edition of an international high-end luxury brand, and the jewelry that went with it was all specially selected by Oliver from the Young family's collection in Regalia.Rose looked at the sets of jewelry, which were all antique-level collections."This is too valuable …" She could tell the value of those jewels with just a glance. There were two sets with indescribable values.If it got damaged when she wore it, or if something went wrong, she wouldn't be able to afford the compensation even if she sold herself. Miles couldn't help but smile when he saw her careful expression. "Grandpa said these sets of jewelry are all gifts for your employment. Even if they are damaged, it's not a big deal."Not a big deal? Ho
If it were anyone else, Anastasia would have been angry. However, even if she was embarrassed, she had to greet him with a smile."Yes, I'm the heiress to the Young family. My grandfather …"She didn't take back her hand but continued to introduce herself.It was as if she thought as long as Clover knew she was the heiress to the Young family, he would have to show respect even if he was the CEO of Lerain Group.However, before she finished speaking, Clover said, "You're brought back from an orphanage. How come you're the heiress of the Young family?"The female assistant on the side was also speechless. Clover was always so venomous when he got into the mood. If it weren't for Lerain Group's backing, he would have been beaten to death long ago.Upon seeing that Anastasia seemed to lose control due to embarrassment, the female assistant said, "Ms. Young, I'm sorry. Mr. Xanth is in a bad mood today. Please don't mind …"Clover gave her a cold look. Who said he was not in a good m
As he asked, he thought of another person. At the same time, his eyes caught hers. It was Anastasia."Yes, that person is in Aquastead. Judging from the emails, that person is very sincere in purchasing. It's a pity …"She wanted to say it's a pity that Clover wouldn't sell it. Before she could finish speaking, Clover had walked toward Anastasia who was in the crowd not far away.The Young family was the master of the house today. Miles and Rose were standing next to Oliver and being surrounded by people. However, Anastasia was like a spectator.The look in her eyes was not very friendly."You envy Ms. Shaffer."His voice suddenly sounded next to Anastasia. Perhaps because she was too focused, she didn't discover Clover."Envy? Rosie is Grandpa's granddaughter. What's there to be envious of?"Anastasia didn't want her thoughts to be seen through. However, she ignored the fact that the person she was facing was Clover.Although there were few rumors about him, he's the head of
Jamie was stunned for a moment. As Rose was staring at him, he didn't dare to lie. "No.. no.""Then who asked you to come?" Oliver raised his tone slightly.At the same time, he glanced in a certain direction. His sight made Anastasia's heart tremble, fearing that he would reveal her."I … I …" He didn't dare to say Anastasia's name, so he could only look at Rose for help. "Rosie …"He hoped that Rose could give him a step-down. He believed that as long as Rose spoke, Oliver wouldn't be aggressive toward him. Instead, he would even show respect toward him.Rose furrowed her brows. She didn't want to ruin the atmosphere of the reception. However, she knew what Jamie had in mind. She couldn't let him use the name of the Young family to play tricks in the future.She raised his wine glass and smiled at the people present. "I'm sorry. Although my last name is Shaffer, I have nothing to do with Mr. Jamie. Maybe I'm not obedient, so he dislikes me. A few months ago, he drove me o
Not only that, she could let Oliver destroy Celeste Jewels. Thinking of this, Kelly was extremely excited. After comforting Jamie for a while, she hung up the phone.As she walked out of the washroom, she heard the bustle of the reception. After a while, she heard Miles's voice."Grandpa, go to your room and rest for a while. I'll take care of Rosie.""I'm old, and my body … Miles, I always feel that Rose is like your aunt. You must take good care of her for me and don't let her be bullied," Oliver specifically told Miles.When he mentioned Rose, his tone was much softer, obviously full of love. The care he mentioned was not just the care tonight. Miles understood his meaning. He promised again, "Grandpa, don't worry. I'll take good care of her.""Okay. I feel at ease if you're by her side." Oliver sighed.After a moment of silence, he added, "I plan to give Young's House of Jewels to Rosie …"Kelly couldn't quite hear what he said later. However, his words still echoed in h
"Get in the car," her star escort husband said.Finley immediately opened the car door, and Rose quickly got into the passenger seat. As soon as the door was closed, the car sped away.Even though the car was driving fast, Clover could recognize that it was the car owned by Jonathan. He wasn't the only one to see it. Everyone who came here out of curiosity also saw it."Who's the person in the car just now?""The car's going too fast. I didn't see him clearly, but that person … I seemed to know him."Someone looked at Finley, who was still on the roadside."He seems to be the leader of the Azure Clan of the Finches.""The leader of the Azure Clan? The leader of the Azure Clan of the Finches has always been the person in power who personally protects Finch Group. Since he's here, the man in the car just now …""Mr. Finch …"It must be Mr. Finch. However, why did he drive such an ordinary car? He even took away Rose, the new design director of Young's House of Jewels. What's the
Rose was stunned for a moment. Then, her face turned red.The handsome face of her star escort husband was very close at hand. Under his narrow gaze, her actions of covering her mouth looked particularly dishonest.She coughed lightly and took her hand away.She straightened up and said, "Then why do you suddenly lean over?"Looking at her bright red lips, Jonathan's heart was filled with excitement. He couldn't help but kiss her."Hmm …"Rose's eyes widened in shock. As her mind went blank for a moment, she suddenly realized that he was kissing her. However, he clearly said just now that he didn't mean to kiss her.She forgot to close her eyes, looking at his handsome face with concentration. His face would cause a disaster. Just as she thought this, a big palm covered her eyes.She was slightly startled. The next moment, Jonathan finally let go of her and buried his head on her shoulder."You …""You …"In the weird atmosphere, the two of them suddenly spoke at the same ti
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
