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
If Mr. Finch wasn't crazy, how would he say that? When her star escort husband talked about the wedding, she looked forward to it. Yet, when Mr. Finch mentioned the wedding, she seemed to be targeted by the devil.Rose gulped and looked at the hotel. She didn't even dare to stay for a moment longer. So, she turned around and took a taxi back to Zenwood Gardens. Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Jonathan's smile froze.Rose ran so fast that it made him feel like a devil. He just wanted to give her a wedding as Mr. Finch. Was it so scary for her?The flowers around still gave off a romantic atmosphere. But a coldness gradually filled the air, making both the violinist and the service staff shiver.After Rose left, Finley quietly stepped forward but didn't dare to get too close to Jonathan."Sir, do you want to get Mrs. Finch back?"Finley wanted to ask Jonathan what he had said as he saw her run away frightenedly. But looking at Jonathan, he didn't dare to ask. It was more important
Her intuition told her Jamie would never go to Chereton only for business.…Since Rose ran from the restaurant that night, Jonathan had been thinking about Finley's suggestion. He couldn't decide. Soon, he received a call from Regalia and rushed back overnight.It was five days later after he settled Regalia's matter. It was late at night when he returned to Aquastead. After getting off the plane, he rushed back to Zenwood Gardens, hoping to see Rose.In the past few days, he deliberately suppressed missing her.Then, he completed the one-month affair in five days without enough sleep. He wanted to return to Aquastead to see her as soon as possible.He returned home with her favorite snack, but the house was dark. She wasn't even in her room. There was a chill in the air as if no one had been there for several days. Where did she go?He immediately dialed her phone, but her phone was off. After dialing several times, he panicked. He quickly went downstairs but didn't know where
A loud bang ripped through the night sky. On the rooftop in the distance, Chelsea watched Rose getting hit by a car through a telescope.The car didn't stop. It seemed like it had lost control. After returning to the road crookedly, it continued to move forward. Finally, it broke through the bridge railing and fell into the water.Chelsea's smile became more ruthless. After the car fell into the water, she turned her attention to the hotel. Although it was night, such a big car accident quickly attracted people.Rose was lying on the ground, but she couldn't feel pain. She vaguely heard someone calling an ambulance. Before she lost consciousness, she saw a pair of exquisite leather shoes appearing.A man's pleasant voice sounded, "Take her away."Who was he? Where was he taking her? The figure of her star escort husband appeared in her mind, but she knew it wasn't Jonathan. Under fatigue, she completely fainted.On the highway, when Jonathan rushed from Aquastead to Chereton, his
When Chelsea reacted, she was already in another car. She knew that Jonathan must be here for Rose. So, she suppressed her guilt and took the initiative to speak."What are you going to do? Let me go! Or I'll call the police!""I've called the police."He looked at the urn she was holding. "Jamie Shaffer?"She was stunned for a moment. Then, she started fake crying."He went out for business and didn't come back. I didn't expect him to get into a car accident! Jamie, how could you leave me? How should I live ..."She cried while vaguely clarifying her relationship with the car accident. He stared at her coldly. He had no news about Rose for a long time. His patience was exhausted. "Where is Rose?""Rose?" she pretended to be surprised.She pretended to be confused as if she didn't know what he was talking about. His eyes narrowed slightly. "Jamie hit Rose with his car. You know it!"She was stunned for a long time. Then, she was full of disbelief. "Hit Rose? I ... I do
Clover froze for a moment. Emily also felt surprised, but they soon remembered the doctor's diagnosis.Rose only got a few scratches. Her injury wasn't serious. But she hit her head, which might cause memory disorders.According to the current situation, she probably wasn't a memory disorder but a lack of memory. He smiled slightly. "Your name is Rose Shaffer."Rose Shaffer?"Who are you?" she asked. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her head. She touched it, only to find that her head was wrapped in gauze. Before she could ask what happened, he held her hand. "I'm your husband, Clover Xanth."Her husband? She looked at him in shock. His eyes were gentle and affectionate, but she felt strange. She twitched her mouth and withdrew her hand. Her repulsive response made him a little sad.At this moment, someone knocked on the door. The butler, Max Wood, opened the door. "Mr. Clover, Mr. Finch is looking for you."Jonathan arrived sooner than he expected.He glanced at Rose
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
