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
Kelly wore the white dress she selected, which was studded with diamonds. It was sparkling and eye-catching. Surrounded by countless people, she was undoubtedly the shining star.Anastasia looked at Kelly with disdain. She walked forward with a wine glass."Kelly, congratulations. You're beautiful. It's a pity that Miles can't see you today."She hinted that Miles was absent. Kelly glanced around but didn't see him. Since he left Young Estate last night, he had never appeared again.She didn't pay much attention to him. But she knew what Anastasia meant. Anastasia was telling her that Rose was more important than her in his heart."Where did he go?" She pretended to be confused. Anastasia pursed her lips."I didn't know either. He didn't answer my call. He must have something important to do. He left after answering the phone last night. I heard him mention Rose ..."She sighed deliberately. "Apart from Harriette, he is only special to Rosie. Maybe she held him back from att
Jonathan and Miles chased after them but couldn't match the car's speed. In a moment, the car was no longer visible."Damn it!" Jonathan cursed through gritted teeth.Clover must have done it on purpose. Suddenly, there was the sound of the car engine. Clover drove the car back and whizzed past them.He saw Clover's proud smile, but he also saw the woman in the passenger seat more clearly. That was Rose! Jonathan and Miles looked at each other and drove their cars to chase Clover.Meanwhile, Clover whistled excitedly. Rose looked at the two cars catching up in the rearview mirror. She fell in thought.Although it was just a glance, she could see their faces. A familiar feeling emerged spontaneously. Two hours later, the car stopped.Clover led her to a secretive private club in Aquastead. Before she could see what the club looked like, he pushed her into a room.He glanced at her mysteriously and told Emily, "Make her up beautifully!"He winked at Rose naughtily, stroked her he
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
