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
Rose wasn't sure how long she had been staying in that secret villa. She knew that something was happening outside. Since the day Jonathan left, he never returned, but Elijah and Clover came by every day.They all seemed to have developed a great understanding with each other. Rose didn't ask about their plan, and they didn't bring it up either.On this day, Rose finished Clover's suit. After trying it on, Clover asked Finley to bring a few gowns for Rose to choose from.Rose then immediately realized she could leave. Had the plan succeeded?Rose thought about Kelly, and a glint of coldness appeared in her eyes. She understood that they had prepared these clothes for her to wear when meeting Kelly.Which one should she wear?Rose looked around, and quickly, her eyes landed on a red floor-length gown. It reminded her of a similar K&K limited edition dress she once wore to a dinner party at Aquastead with the Lane family.Rose smirked and said, "This is the one."When Rose came o
Everyone turned to look at "Harriette".Kelly glanced at Miles, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I have… an objection."Chloe was shocked. She glared at "Harriette", her eyes seemingly on fire.Anastasia also looked surprised. Why did Harriette have objections? Was she unhappy with the ten percent stake being too small?Anastasia could tell from Kelly's slightly furrowed brow and her kind yet indifferent expression, unwillingness to compete, and reluctance to hurt others that deep down, Kelly was still the same person she always knew.She probably didn't have any good intentions.When Miles' gaze fell on "Harriette", it softened slightly. "Harriette, what are your thoughts?""Yes, Harriette. If you have any objections, go ahead and share with everyone." Chloe subtly flexed her fingers.She was curious to see if Harriette had any objections."Rose just passed, and we started discussing the shares. I think it's still too harsh. Aunt Chloe and Anastasia can accept it
Both Kelly and Miles each had their own thoughts and intentions.…At Young Group headquarters, Chloe was the first to arrive, and she intentionally brought the Yones family's legal advisor with her.In the large conference room, not long ago, these people had gathered together to witness Oliver's granddaughter, Rose, officially inherit Young Group.It had only been a little over a month, yet she…"It's truly a pity about Rose. Honestly, Mr. Young Senior, why couldn't you have looked after her from above? What a shame, really such a shame…"Some of those from the older generation, even though they had only met Rose twice, inexplicably liked her a lot.She had bright, clear eyes, showing a sense of purity. In this way, she was quite similar to Henrietta.Not like the granddaughters adopted by Oliver…Among the ones adopted by Oliver, his grandson Miles stood out. There was no doubt about it. He was intelligent and eager to learn, kind-hearted and righteous, and showed absolute
Jonathan hadn't returned to Rose's place for three days. That was because he was trapped.For some unknown reason, Eleanor suddenly decided to take care of him personally.Although "personally taking care" of him didn't mean doing everything herself, she spent most of her time in the hospital.Jonathan felt like he was glued to the ICU bed.Eleanor seemed to genuinely care for him. Even before visiting hours, she was dressed in sterile clothing, hiding by the bedside, watching all the machines connected to Jonathan."Jonathan, you really need to get better. Finch Group is waiting for you, and so am I…"Ah, if I had known you cared so much about Rose, I would have made sure you two stayed together when she came to Regalia. Then we wouldn't be in this situation now…"Being separated by life and death must be tough on you…"You love her so much, and she surely loves you too. She also hopes that you will live well and not do anything foolish because of her."Eleanor's voice initia
The plate of fried eggs in front of Rose looked… reasonably okay."Hurry, sit down." Clover was eager and couldn't wait to receive praise from Rose.He personally handed the fork to Rose and watched as she took a bite of the egg. "How is it? How is it?" he asked.He felt that he had already used up ten percent of the skills he learned.Who knew how many eggs he messed up during that hour in the kitchen? But this time, it was actually successful, and he could even earn Rose's praise… right?But as soon as Rose took a bite, she heard a crunching sound.The sound wasn't loud, but Clover was right next to Rose, so he heard it clearly.Even Elijah, who was nearby, vaguely heard it.The most unsettling thing that happened was when everything suddenly went quiet.Rose felt a rush of panic and instinctively stopped moving her mouth. She thought that she had bitten down on a small stone, but how could there be a stone?Rose thought about it—it had to be the eggshell.Eating eggshells
"In three days, I wish you success, and wish myself success as well!" Lizzie declared.Kelly was dumbfounded. She understood Lizzie wishing her success, but wishing herself success?Kelly didn't really understand, but she still nodded in agreement, saying, "Here's to our success."Lizzie must have felt that she had definitely and flawlessly succeeded.Lizzie understood that there were things Kelly didn't know, so she didn't offer any explanations and had no intention of helping Kelly understand. It was her own matter, her own plan, her own future!…That night, Jonathan didn't come back.Rose was originally waiting for Jonathan when she received a call from Clover. He informed her that Jonathan had something important come up and couldn't make it, so she shouldn't wait for him.Before hanging up, he said mysteriously, "Rose, tomorrow, Uncle Elijah and I will come to see you, and when we do, I have a surprise for you."Surprise? What surprise?Rose smiled, feeling a hint of an
Really? How could that possibly be true?Lizzie and Jonathan had a seemingly calm relationship on the surface, but underneath, there was a deep-seated conflict. One was a stepmother, and the other was the son left behind by the first wife.This time, Jonathan's disguise was solely to deceive Lizzie.Lizzie had repeatedly plotted against Rose, so how could she genuinely be concerned about Jonathan?Amidst Leonard's thoughts, there was a commotion coming from the direction of the operating room."Jonathan…" Eleanor called out. She quickly hurried over with the help of her walking cane.The others quickly followed and finally saw Jonathan being wheeled out from the operating room.He kept his eyes tightly shut, with the wounds from the car accident still visible on his face. His hands, feet, and chest were covered, but they could clearly see the lack of life on his face.After the car accident, there didn't seem to be any improvement at all."Jonathan, Jonathan, it's Grandma. You
The atmosphere at the dining table was extremely strange.Elijah and Clover, smiling warmly, served Rose some food. "Rose, have some of this. You love it..."The food was placed on the plate in front of Rose. Then, Jonathan promptly said, "Wifey, I made this."Jonathan looked at Rose, his face clearly saying, "Wifey, praise me.""Ugh! This tastes awful!"Clover clearly had a disdain for Jonathan, and it was written all over his face without any attempt to hide it. He picked at her food, took a bite, and felt like spitting it out. But he had come with the intention of having lunch with Rose and ended up going there without having eaten lunch.He didn't get to eat lunch, and his frustration left him feeling full.Although he was still a bit miffed, as soon as the food entered his mouth, he realized he was actually a little hungry.]He hadn't expected Jonathan's cooking skills to be, well… quite good?He had to "reluctantly" swallow it down when his original intention was to spit
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. "Wifey…."He called out to Rose, but she still didn't respond.Jonathan furrowed his brow even more. Was it because he wasn't loud enough?"Wifey…" he called out again.There was still no response. Was his charm not strong enough?"Wifey…" he called out again.Every time Rose heard him call out "wifey,"
