"What are they doing?"Anastasia racked her brains but still couldn't understand the situation. However, she understood one thing. If Mr. Young Senior was not dead, everything today would be a trap. And who was this trap for? Chloe? Herself? Or... Kelly?Anastasia felt fortunate that she discovered it early on. Now she wouldn't fall for the trap. As for Kelly… Resentment filled Anastasia's eyes. No matter who this trap was set for, it was a great opportunity for her.Anastasia immediately made a phone call. Once she hung up the phone, Anastasia's anticipation for what would happen next gradually grew.…At the same time in the funeral hall, Kelly was overwhelmed with anticipation. Anastasia's fainting greatly displeased Kelly.As the butler arranged for people to carry Anastasia away, Kelly eagerly looked toward Mr. Kane. However, she was ultimately afraid of revealing her excitement and refrained from urging him on.Gabriel noticed and spoke on her behalf, "Mr. Kane, please con
Everyone was stunned for a moment. A woman's slightly distorted voice could be heard over the phone. Although the voice was unidentifiable, one could tell that what was happening on the other end was intense. The woman screamed various explicit words, causing the expressions of the people present to shift.Kelly was a little surprised. She blamed Maya for distorting the voice, but it was fine. Even if they couldn't tell it was Rose's voice, it would still have the same effect if the video showed Rose.Kelly glanced at Miles. What Kelly wanted to see most was Miles' reaction after realizing that Rose was the one in the video. However, Miles just frowned and seemed displeased. He didn't even take out his phone.Chloe seemed to be shocked by the scene as she kept staring blankly at the screen. The woman's voice echoed across the funeral hall.Amid the eerie atmosphere, a second person took out their phone and opened the message they received. The same voice echoed around the room. T
Jonathan looked down and met Rose's gaze. Rose's eyes were resolute, and her grip on Jonathan's chest tightened.Jonathan was worried, but after a moment of hesitation, he gave in to Rose's request. He gently put her down, but kept his arm around her waist, adopting a protective posture.The people around them were quite bewildered by his actions. The most surprised one was Chloe. Jonathan, the new head of the Finch family, was someone Chloe had encountered before.The ruthless methods he employed to ascend to power within the Finch family were well-known throughout Regalia. It sent shivers down Chloe's spine when she first heard about it.They claimed Jonathan was ruthless and cold. Yet, the man standing before them now appeared gentle and kind. However, when his gaze shifted elsewhere, it swiftly turned cold. Jonathan's demeanor toward this woman was surprisingly different.Chloe couldn't help but examine the person beside Jonathan, recalling the name they had just mentioned. Ro
The innocent look on Kelly's face froze. At that moment, a hint of guilt flashed across her face as though she had been exposed. "Gabriel, what do you mean?""What do I mean? Kelly, do you take us as fools? I knew your character from the first time I laid eyes on you. You might look helpless and innocent, but deep down, you're scheming and calculative. You've enjoyed putting on a front and lying to people, so I played along with you. I pretended to believe in you."Gabriel's voice pierced the air. Kelly found it jarring. A hint of anger appeared on her usually innocent-looking face.She wondered if he had been lying to her all this time. If he had been, why did he call in Mr. Kane for her yesterday? Since there were people around, it wasn't appropriate for her to ask. However, Gabriel could read her mind just from her expression. Gabriel cast a meaningful look in the direction of the crystal coffin. Even if Kelly was getting suspicious, he couldn't be the one to reveal the truth t
Although the voice was low, the anger in it was palpable. Kelly froze in shock, as did everyone else in the funeral hall. They all couldn't believe the voice they had just heard.Anastasia gulped and folded her trembling arms as if she were trying to shake off her nerves. Did she mishear? That was Oliver's voice. But he was dead, and his body was in the crystal coffin. How could he speak? The idea of spirits made Anastasia shake in fear. She swallowed hard. The voice had confirmed her suspicion that the funeral today was a set-up to trick Kelly.The thought made Anastasia excited. When she noticed Jonathan and Gabriel's lack of response toward Oliver's voice, she instantly knew that they were in it as well.Meanwhile, Kelly's mind went blank. Just like the others, she recognized Oliver's voice and turned her attention to the crystal coffin. From her position, she could only see Oliver from the waist down.Since the body did not move, Kelly calmed down and smirked. "Hmph, are yo
Did Oliver just say there was no need to amend the will? Kelly was overjoyed and relieved to hear that. As expected, Oliver would tolerate her behavior when he was reminded of her status as Henrietta's daughter.Oliver might have been alive, but at the end of the day, everyone had clearly heard the will being read out just now. Oliver had left all the family assets to Kelly. Kelly thought that she'd be the sole heiress of the Young family sooner or later, even if it was not today.She treated the people around her with disdain. However, thinking of the video just now, she cast a glance at Rose, who was standing beside Oliver.At that moment, she had no time to process what happened with the video. Her priority was to force Oliver to deny that she was the woman in the video. No matter what, she wanted to frame Rose.With that in mind, she frowned and argued, "I do not care for materialistic wealth, but I'm sure Mom would feel upset if she knew that my name was dragged through the mu
Again with those antics? Saying that she bullied her? Since Kelly asked for it, then Rose would do as she pleased."Come…" Before Rose could finish her sentence, Jonathan had already signaled Finley. Rose did not need to raise a finger on such matters.Finley quickly stepped forward and a loud slap landed on Kelly's face. Finley had shown her no mercy.Kelly staggered and almost lost her balance. Her mind went blank, and her face was burning from the impact. Who… dared to hit her? After collecting herself, Kelly glared fiercely at Finley.Finley was well-trained in the Azure Clan. His well-defined muscles were a testament to that. He had even adopted Jonathan's icy demeanor. A single glance from him was enough to suppress Kelly's protests.But how could Kelly accept that? She was the heiress to the Young family's wealth. Finley… was nothing but a dog by Jonathan's side.Even if it were Jonathan who gave the order, Kelly wouldn't be able to face the people in the room after being
Why would Rose need to be jealous of Kelly? Kelly was stunned. She thought that Oliver was angry at her because she knew about her schemes to kill him. She tried to get on his good side. "Grandpa…"But in the next instant, Oliver interrupted her. His face was grim. "Ms. Shaffer, I am not your grandfather."Kelly's expression froze. She said innocently, "Grandpa, why did you say that? What nonsense did you hear from someone who's trying to drive us apart?""What do you think I heard? That you wanted to hire someone to murder me?" Oliver sneered.Even though Kelly had decided to deny everything and insist that Rose was framing her, for a moment, she still couldn't hide her guilt. But she had to continue the act."Grandpa, what are you… saying? Hire someone to murder you? How could I do something like that?"Kelly looked genuinely perplexed, as if she truly didn't understand what Oliver was implying. Suddenly, as if greatly wounded by Oliver's words, she chuckled self-mockingly. "
