Rose looked happy today. Miles hadn't seen her smile in a long time. He sensed that she was at ease and wanted to indulge her.A wild red flower bloomed on the steep slope. She picked the flower and was about to give it to Oliver when she heard a voice."Jon!"She recognized that it was Anastasia. She was talking to Jonathan. She didn't want to eavesdrop, but her feet seemed glued to the ground.She saw Anastasia's back. She occasionally fiddled with her hair. It reminded Rose of a woman talking to her lover."You drank too much and turned off your phone last night, right? You should rest for a while. Well, I'll miss you too. I'll see you when I get back."Although it wasn't clear, Rose could just about hear what Anastasia had said. Although the two had only been in Aquastead shortly, they seemed very familiar!She felt her heart tighten uncomfortably. But suddenly, she realized something and smiled bitterly.He had given the ring to Anastasia. Although she was the adopted gran
Nixon snorted. Both back then and now, he was always just a tool in Kelly's eyes.Thinking of his previous experiences, he became colder and unconsciously tightened his grip on her chin. He even left some visible marks on it."Ah! It hurts!"She was in pain and felt that his reaction wasn't proportionate. Did he think the matter was too serious to help her with? But she could only ask him for help.She couldn't gauge his expression. But even though she was blindfolded, she could feel his hand on her chin. Just as he released his grip, she rubbed his hand with her face."I'm a woman. I can't do it. Only you can help me. You'll help me, right?"What she was talking about was a life-altering matter. But her innocent tone made it sound like she was asking for a bouquet or a gift from her lover. He stared at her and smiled silently.There was a moment of silence as she waited for his answer. Just when she thought she hadn't managed to seduce him, his voice suddenly filled the air."
After he disappeared, Kelly wiped her mouth thoroughly, feeling disgusted.But his smell seemed to linger on her body. The more she wiped, the more irritated she got. So, she simply put on her clothes and hurried out. She couldn't wait to take a bath.When she was walking back to the orphanage, she met Gabriel. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, and his gaze made her feel inexplicably nervous.She almost subconsciously glanced at the tiny house when she saw him. Turning around, she felt relieved to see that the house's door wasn't facing them.Even if he had seen her approaching, he would likely think she had just come out of the alley."Gabriel, hello. I was just on a walk. What are you doing out?"The implication was that she was already taking a walk when she saw him. He raised his eyebrows on smelling a strange odor in the breeze. It was a man's scent. He glanced at her thoughtfully. "Not much. Can you bring me around since you're exploring the place?"He was quite sinc
But Rose wasn't interested in Henrietta's secret hideout. The old woman was too old. She couldn't place any hope on her.Suddenly, she realized that the old woman might have led her to the dilapidated church on purpose. The old woman might have noticed their strange behavior. So, she probably took Rose to eavesdrop on their conversation to alert her of the danger."Thank you." Rose didn't know what those people would do, but they plotted against the Youngs. This matter wouldn't be so easily resolved. The old woman smiled brightly at her like a child who had just gotten praised.She felt warm, supported the old woman, and walked along the road ahead. But the old woman suddenly stopped and looked at her. "Rietta, I can't walk anymore."She was silent momentarily before saying, "I'll carry you." She squatted and let the old woman lie on her back.The old woman was thin and not very heavy. But even so, it was still much more difficult for Rose to walk than before. Nevertheless, sh
The Gibsons' driver took them back to the Gibson family's mansion."No need." Jonathan took his coat off, although he looked cold. He glanced at Zac and then brushed past him to walk straight to the door.He was in a hurry as he had planned to find Rose yesterday, but Zac had delayed him. When he woke up, he could only think about her and couldn't wait to see her."Hey, Jon! At least you ..." Zac chased after him but realized that only Rose could make Jonathan so anxious.He thought that he had better not hinder the couple from meeting each other. So, he stopped and immediately ordered the driver to take Jonathan away.Jonathan went directly to Young Estate. When he arrived, he charged his phone and called Rose, but she didn't pick it up.It was dark in Young Estate. For some reason, his eagerness to see Rose had diminished. He felt a little anxious now. Frowning, he decided to go in. He rang the doorbell. A servant who had been left behind to keep watch answered the door. The
Kelly didn't want to go. Her original plan was to stay inside all night and wait for the news of Oliver's death and Rose's scandal the next day. But Miles and Gabriel were anomalies in her plan, so she had to adapt it.She followed Gabriel. As night had fallen, he turned on the flashlight. But as soon as they were alone, she pretended to sprain her foot."Ah!" Her face cringed in pain. "My foot! Gabriel, I ..." She seemed to be in great pain and looked like she was about to cry.There was a hint of impatience in his eyes. When he saw Kelly's acting, he thought about poking fun at her and mocking her. But after some thought, he decided against it."Then turn around. It's dangerous here." He sounded a little cold.Hearing his words, she became more aggrieved. "No! How can I go back? Grandpa and Rose are missing. What if something happens to them? We have to find them quickly."She pretended to be strong and stood up forcefully. But as she did so, she let out another cry of pain. Sh
Before Anastasia even had time to think about who the patron could be, the man had already leaned against her. No matter how hard she struggled, whimpered, or begged for mercy, it was useless.As the night dragged on, her pleas for mercy died out. The men came in one after another, and she was so humiliated by the third one that she had lost all hope.After the others had their fill with her, Theo went in. Under the light from his phone, he saw who was inside. Although her mouth was covered with tape, he could tell at a glance that she wasn't Rose!Rose, whom Oliver doted on, was so eye-catching that he would never forget her face, even though he had only caught a fleeting glimpse of her. But the woman in front of him ...Theo was stunned for a moment and recognized Anastasia after a minute. She was also a lady of the Youngs. Since arriving at the orphanage, she had been alone and was staring at Rose disdainfully.She also recognized him, and her despair turned into agitation. She
Rose instantly raised her guard. The moment she asked the question, she could see the disdain in Nixon's eyes. Hatred radiated from his expression, and his lips morphed into a chilling smile. He replied, "I'm getting my revenge."Revenge? She frowned. While they held grudges against each other, it had started with him. Despite this, she didn't think she could reason with him."How are you going to get your revenge? Kill me? Don't forget, if you kill me, you can't escape the legal consequences."Was she afraid of death? Of course, she was. But she also wagered that someone like him feared death more. Surprisingly, he smiled after hearing her words. "Kill you? How would I dare?" He still had not forgotten what he had to endure from Jonathan previously.His gaze deepened as he recalled those events. "Rose, you are something. When did you seduce Uncle Jonathan? Let me guess …" He pretended to ponder. However, his memory flashed in his mind's eye like a movie.He tried his best to
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,"
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
