"There," Rose said slowly. Anastasia followed her gaze and saw a supermarket. Anastasia was still puzzled when Rose's voice sounded again."Go buy some water if you're thirsty. I won't accompany you."With that, Rose smiled at Anastasia and walked away. She reached Jonathan's car parked by the roadside. Jonathan had rolled down the window. Rose opened the door and got in swiftly. "Let's go," she said as she fastened her seatbelt. Without delay, Jonathan drove off. Through the rearview mirror, Rose saw Anastasia's displeased face outside the building, arms crossed in anger, glaring at her.Jonathan also noticed Anastasia. He had received news about Mr. Young Senior finding his granddaughter, though it hadn't been announced publicly. He had also learned that some partners had terminated their contracts with Celeste Jewels today. There must be someone from the Young family involved in this.Thinking about Anastasia's furious expression moments ago, Jonathan smirked. "What
Kelly had to meticulously strategize and organize those matters.She absolutely couldn't allow the prestigious identity of the sole bloodline of the Young family, a position that could garner boundless favor, to face even the slightest threat.Kelly fixed her gaze on Chelsea, and the mother-daughter pair had always shared an unbreakable bond. Even though she didn't finish her words, Chelsea grasped her intention.Chelsea had already pondered this potential threat in her heart long ago. From the start, she chose Jamie for the wealth, for the promise of a comfortable life.Before Celeste's passing, Jamie lavishly organized her life, ensuring she lived without any worries about finances. After Celeste's demise, she promptly moved into the Shaffers' mansion, living the life of an affluent lady.She now lived the prosperous life she longed for. However, she was aware that Kelly could continue climbing to greater heights.Therefore, she wouldn't allow herself, and definitely wouldn't
People were all curious, probing into the reasons why Rose and Celeste Jewels had become targets. They were very eager to know what exactly had happened, causing them to fall from the sky to the ground in a single night. But no one knew the specific reason. Only a single message circulated within the industry—if anyone collaborated with Celeste Jewels, it meant severing ties with the Youngs and losing the opportunity to work with them.The Young Family wielded such immense influence that no one dared to offend. Therefore, most of Celeste Jewels' collaborators also made their choices.The atmosphere in Celeste Jewels' office was grave at this moment. William and Sherlyn made every effort to quell the gossip in the office. In front of Rose, they both strove to appear calm and composed.Unexpectedly, Rose got a call from Jamie today. Though she had no desire to respond, Jamie's repeated calls forced her to answer.The moment the call connected, Jamie's taunting voice echoed, "Ros
There was even a substantial sum of money transferred from Celeste Jewels' company account, passing through several hands before finally reaching an account owned by the unknown man.Jamie Shaffer … Rose bit her lip, her hands trembling so much they could barely hold the documents. Jonathan turned around in the nearby swimming pool.He had already gone through these documents before handing them to Rose.He had anticipated Rose's reaction in advance. In that moment, he yearned to step forward, wrap her in a comforting embrace, and ease her distress. But Rose abruptly looked up.Almost reflexively, Jonathan turned his body to avoid her gaze. He was still not ready to confront Rose as Mr. Finch.He was even a little worried, questioning whether Rose had seen his face when he turned away moments ago."Mr. Finch, thank you for finding the truth for me," Rose's voice unexpectedly broke, trembling as she tried to hold back, yet still carrying a touch of a quivering tone.Did she cry?
Finley didn't understand Jonathan's intentions—why would he double his salary?Before he could figure it out, Jonathan coughed lightly on the other end of the phone and said, "I didn't mean to yell at you earlier. Rose... she fainted."Finley took some time to regain his composure after Jonathan's surprising explanation. The moment he heard "Rose fainted," his demeanor immediately turned serious."Is Mrs. Finch okay?" His tone was deeply concerned, without any pretense. Jonathan was surprised by his concern for Rose, a hint of danger flickering in his eyes, tinged with a hint of jealousy.But in the next moment, Finley quickly explained, "Mrs. Finch is the person Mr. Finch cares about the most. If anyone harms her, I won't spare them!"Jonathan's menacing expression eased as he stated, "Well, let's start with those who took advantage of the situation with Celeste Jewels due to the Youngs.""Understood, Mr. Finch." Finley accepted the order as if the emotional outburst moments
Rose soon regretted using this approach. After everything ended, Rose felt like her bones had turned to jelly.Meanwhile, her star escort husband was in excellent spirits, leaving Rose feeling deeply disturbed as she gave him a piercing glare. She forcefully drove him out of the room, indifferent to his coaxing outside.While Rose was alone in bed, her mind was filled with echoes of Jonathan's words."What kind of wedding ceremony do you desire?"She had never given thought to the wedding she desired, yet now, a subtle sense of excitement was budding within her.Jonathan stood outside the room he'd been ousted from. Had Zac and Finley caught a glimpse of the smile on his face right now, they would've been utterly stunned, rendered speechless.His mind was filled with the image of Rose's charming presence moments ago, fueling an earnest desire in his heart to give her a wedding ceremony. She must look stunning in a wedding gown!Jonathan's thoughts raced, as if not wanting to was
"Yes, we're ready to sign the contract."Everyone smiled and eagerly handed over the prepared contract to Rose.Rose glanced at the contracts and politely asked with a smile, "What to sign?"A momentary stiffness replaced the smiles on the faces of the crowd.One person hurriedly approached Rose and said, "Ms. Shaffer, might you have forgotten? We're here to sign our collaboration contract. This time, let's not sign for 2 years but extend it to 10. Within these 10 years, our company will be Celeste Jewels' finest partner."Rose remained silent as ever. The person felt a sudden panic, recalling the boss's instructions—if he couldn't seal the deal on this contract today, he would have to leave. It wasn't just him, they all had just exchanged brief pleasantries outside Celeste Jewels' company premises a while ago.Everyone who showed up today got a brutal command from the boss— if the contract wasn't sealed, they were to get lost. As Rose remained silent, someone started to wipe t
"Get out!"Anastasia didn't come back to her senses for a while. Miles was elegant and rarely spoke harshly to others. But he drove her away! She gritted her teeth and left his office unwillingly.After the office door closed, Miles slowly closed his eyes. Everyone in the office thought he had put pressure on those partners, but that was not the case.He was indeed ready to do so, but it was still a step too late. The person who took one step ahead of him would be none other than Jonathan. Jonathan's care for Rose exceeded his expectations....Anastasia left Celeste Jewels. She felt unwilling, so she drove back to Young Estate. The car stopped outside the estate. In the main hall, Oliver pushed his wheelchair out of the room.He looked at the door expectantly as if waiting for someone. In the living room, Kelly noticed his expression. She followed his sight and paid attention to the door.A few minutes later, Anastasia came in. His expectations instantly dimmed."It's not Rosi
