Chloe spoke loudly. Her heart was leaping with joy. If this was indeed the case, the current situation would be highly advantageous for her.If Kelly was not "Henrietta's daughter", the will declared earlier would be null and void, and the assets of the Young family could be redistributed.Seeing Kelly visibly flustered by her question fueled Chloe's excitement further. But it wasn't enough to just question her. Chloe wanted to add to Oliver's anger."If you were truly Henrietta's daughter, I would have wholeheartedly supported you inheriting everything from the Young family. But I never expected you to be a fraud."Thankfully we found out before it was too late. Otherwise, you would've taken everything that rightfully belonged to Henrietta's real daughter!"Chloe kept mentioning "Henrietta", seemingly forgetting how opposed she was when the will was announced. She deliberately mentioned Henrietta to fuel Oliver's anger.As expected, a hint of guilt surfaced beneath his furious g
The report clearly stated Kelly and Oliver's names, and the results were…"Probability of paternity is 0%!" Ha…" Chloe sneered and thought, "With these two paternity reports, let's see how Kelly defends herself this time."Kelly stared at the report as the others mocked her. Her instincts told her to flee when she saw the names and keywords on the report. But even when she looked away, she saw another report.Kelly… and Oliver… Probability of paternity is 0%... There was no way Kelly could get out of this.Every word was like a needle poking into her eyes. Even her head was ringing from the painful truth. But Kelly was still mumbling under her breath, "No… This isn't true…"This is fake. This is all fake. I'm Henrietta's daughter! I'm the Young family's blood descendant…"Kelly yelled louder as she progressed. She still refused to admit the truth even with all the evidence present.Kelly's eyes fluttered as her expression grew more frantic. Everyone in the hall could sense her r
The hall descended into chaos. Kelly never expected Oliver to take the hit for Rose.She was stunned at the sight of Oliver slumping into Rose's arms. Before she could come back to her senses, somebody kicked her from behind and sent her out of the room.Kelly fell to the ground with a loud bang. She grimaced from the pain following the sound of her bones dislocating, but no one cared about her at that moment.Everyone nervously gathered around Oliver and expressed their worry. Kelly was stunned by the sight. It seemed as if she had finally woken up.She had ruined everything. She harmed Oliver in front of everyone again. If something really happened to Oliver, Jonathan would never let her off.At that moment, she only had one idea. Run! Now that everyone in the hall was distracted, it was her chance! No one noticed that Kelly was dragging herself out in pain."Ro… Rose…" Oliver was barely breathing as he gazed at Rose. He seemed to have a lot to say to her, but he probably could
Rose had a really long dream.In the dream, Oliver was sitting on the bench at the park where they first met. He was holding that exact cake when they first met and was smiling and waving at her."Rose, come here…"Rose happily went to him, but when she got closer, he suddenly stood up and walked further away from her."Grandpa…"Rose wanted to chase after him, but her feet seemed to be stuck to the ground. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't walk forward. Rose wanted to cry.She kept yelling for him as if the moment he was gone, she wouldn't be able to see him again. That fear kept growing stronger."Grandpa, don't go! Please don't go!" Rose yelled.Finally, Oliver stopped. He slowly turned back to Rose and smiled as he said something to her. However, no matter how much she tried, she couldn't tell what he was saying.She panicked as she watched Oliver give her a final wave as if it was his last farewell. Then, he disappeared into a bright light.When Rose woke up, sh
The ashes covered the ground. At that sight, everyone's faces began to look enraged. Chloe was stunned. Regaining her composure, she instinctively looked at Miles and saw a cold glint in his eyes. He had always been gentle and well-mannered, but at that moment, his eyes conveyed extreme anger.Chloe knew she had made a terrible mistake. After some thought, she decided to shift the blame onto someone else. "It was…" Rose!Chloe confidently made eye contact with Miles. To her, the only person she had to handle was Miles. As for Rose, it was a piece of cake to deal with her.But before she could use Rose as her scapegoat, a tight slap landed on her cheek. All she could hear was a buzz as her mind went blank. Once she regained her bearings, she saw the person who slapped her.Rose? How audacious of her! Enraged, Chloe glared strikingly at her. "You…"Once again, another slap from Rose landed on the other side of her cheek before Chloe could finish her sentence. It was evident
Almost by instinct, Chloe instantly shut her eyes. Even if she did, she could vividly feel the hairpin in Rose's hand less than an inch away from her eye. If she opened them now, Rose might actually impale her eyeball.Amidst the terror, she heard another command from Rose above her head. "Get on the ground and apologize to Grandpa!" Her voice was as cold as ice.Despite her reluctance, Chloe gave in to the pressure. "Okay. I will. But first, take that thing away…" As if unfulfilled, she continued to request, "Also, you must let me go. Otherwise, h-how can I lie face down?"She thought Rose wouldn't fulfill her request, but to her surprise, she did.Regaining her freedom, Chloe had no plans to prostrate and apologize. When she looked up and saw Oliver's picture, it felt like he was staring at her."Face down!" Rose's voice sounded again.Chloe scanned the crowd, who had condemning gazes, and realized they were waiting for her to do it. Their looks conveyed that they would not lea
At last, Rose and the others brought Oliver's ashes back to Regalia to prepare for his funeral. Around the same time she arrived, Jonathan's private jet landed too. "Mr. Finch, I received a message from Finch Manor demanding your instant return." Finley walked alongside Jonathan.Jonathan had returned to Regalia because of Rose. However, he hadn't expected his family to know his location as soon as he touched down.Jonathan furrowed his brows without a word. It couldn't be more obvious that he had ignored Finch Manor's message. His footsteps did not halt for even a second.After getting into the car, he instructed Finley, "To the Young residence." He was confident Rose would be there because she had arrived in Regalia for Oliver's funeral."Yes, Mr. Finch," responded Finley.As the car left the airport, a group of luxury cars appeared on the road and surrounded Jonathan's vehicle. Then, his phone rang with a call from Finch Manor. Jonathan scrunched his eyebrows at his family'
"I know what you're planning!" Eleanor glared at Yosef, her demeanor cold. She saw through his schemes easily. If Ms. Maize married Jonathan, it would increase Yosef's chances of regaining his power at Finch Group.The startled Yosef played dumb. "Mom—""Stop it. The Finch Group now belongs to Jon, and you should stop plotting. Your only duty now is to stick to your position and assist Jon instead of poking into his private business," lectured Eleanor. She would not let anyone harm the family.Although Yosef's capability was far from Jonathan's, he remained ambitious. That was something Eleanor understood. She glanced at his son and was ready to head upstairs.Yosef was reluctant to give up. His goal today was to be the matchmaker between the Finches and Maizes. Even Eleanor sounded extremely pleased earlier! He couldn't accept the sudden twist…When Eleanor arrived at the staircase, Yosef quickly added, "Mom, regarding the marriage alliance with the Maizes…"She halted her ste
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
