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
Jonathan kept calling Rose "wifey" so smoothly and satisfactorily. Finley couldn't help complaining secretly."Wifey ... Mrs. Finch doesn't even know you're Mr. Finch. If she knows that, she might drive you away ..."Finley sneered in his heart. Jonathan, who originally had a good mood, turned gloomy. He glared coldly at Finley. Finley was slightly startled and felt a little flustered. He immediately smiled flatteringly. "Sir, you're so sincere to Mrs. Finch. She'll feel extremely moved if she knows what you've done."As soon as he finished speaking, Jonathan said displeasedly, "Mrs. Finch? She still doesn't know that I'm Mr. Finch. If she knows that ..."Jonathan didn't finish speaking, but he stared at Finley fiercely. Finley suddenly realized. He had unconsciously spoken out what he had just complained about in his heart!Sensing Jonathan's sharp and murderous gaze, Finley felt that he would be doomed today. After gulping, he was at a loss when his cell phone rang. The caller
Kelly had never had good intentions toward Rose, but she was Oliver's granddaughter.Thinking of Rose's dilemma a few days ago, Miles said lowly, "Rosie, I'm sorry ..."His apology slightly surprised Rose."Don't say that. I should thank you for helping me twice, but I don't want to embarrass you. I'll find a way to deal with the partners myself."She understood his difficulties too well. Oliver raised him from childhood. Oliver was his most important person. So, the granddaughter that Oliver cared about was also important.On the other end of the phone, Miles knew that she had misunderstood. His heart ached slightly, and his guilt became stronger.Finally, he smiled bitterly and said, "It wasn't me."I didn't help you. There was someone else who dealt with the partners."Miles was surprised that Jonathan helped Rose without revealing himself. It was not the Mr. Finch he knew!"Someone else?" she asked subconsciously, "Who's it?"He hesitated for a moment and answered, "It's
"Jamie, something happened at home!" Chelsea's crying and panicked voice made Jamie nervous."What happened? Tell me slowly ..."He reluctantly glanced in the direction where the luxury car was leaving. Soon, he gave up following and hurried back to the Shaffer residence.When he arrived, the police were asking Chelsea about the situation. Seeing him, she immediately ran forward and hugged him while crying.He looked at the situation in the residence. Almost everything got smashed. Nothing was intact. After the police left, she gritted her teeth and cried. "It must be Rose! Even if they destroyed the surveillance, I know she did it!"Jamie, did she know something? Was she avenging her mother?"He looked at the only captures on the surveillance camera. There were a few tall men in black suits.His mind went to the people he had seen downstairs in the Century Tower. He gradually believed that Rose did it. But ..."It's been so long since what happened back then. How could she
Rose was startled by the voice. She stood up and turned around. But there was a screen behind her. She could only vaguely see a man's back.When she was about to walk over, Mr. Finch's voice sounded again."Ms. Shaffer, please take the seat."His voice was low and oppressive. She frowned after hearing that. Yet, she seemed relieved. It would be best if she didn't have to face him."Thank you."She sat down and thanked him for the arrangement, which relaxed her. At least she was at a certain safe distance from him. Even if he wanted to do something bad, she would still have time to react.Jonathan didn't know what she was thinking. He looked satisfied with the surrounding arrangements. Although he didn't like the colorful flowers, Rose must love them.There was also a violinist here. He snapped his fingers to hint the violinist to play the violin. It was melodious and graceful, making the atmosphere more romantic.Rose, who was already relieved, suddenly felt nervous again. What
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,"
The look in Miles' eyes was chilling.Miles always looked at her warmly, so how could this be any different?Before long, the coldness in his eyes vanished, and when she looked into them again, there was warmth once more.But just now… was it her imagination? No, it wasn't!The coldness she felt had sent a distinct shiver through her heart; it was no illusion.Kelly furrowed her brows. 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? Isn't this behavior a bit too unseemly?"Rose inherited Young Group. Young Group belongs to Rose. How could you… How could you…" she accus
Rose often wore that necklace.Kelly had complimented the necklace, saying it looked beautiful and that she wanted to buy one as well. Rose told her that she had designed and made it herself, and there were only two in the whole world: one that she kept and the other that was given to a friend.She knew that the friend was Yvonne.She pretended to be jealous at that moment, but Rose didn't give in or make one for her too.Kelly recalled that Rose was also wearing it that day.All the information pointed to one conclusion—that body was undoubtedly Rose!"Miles, Rose… Poor Rose…" Kelly was crying so hard she nearly fainted.The level of sadness and grief she displayed was comparable to that of Miles.In her heart, she secretly felt glee at Miles' reaction.After he saw "Rose", it seemed as if the necklace confirmed her identity, and from that moment on, he seemed to have lost his soul.Even her "self-blame" act received little response from him, as if he was deeply immersed in
"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. It was said that Jonathan caused a major commotion at the police station, refusing to accept the explanation that she had been "blown to pieces with no r
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. Once she was in a more populated area, she resumed her act.The doctors and nurses who left the warehouse earlier were no longer there.Harriette was surpr
