"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. "
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
