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
"Grandpa put himself in danger for Rose, so you better not make things worse for her!" Anastasia made it sound like a warning, but the rest quickly caught the hint."Ms. Anastasia, are you saying Mr. Young Senior passed away because of her?""What exactly happened? Can we interpret that as her causing Mr. Young Senior's death?"The journalists were relentless, shooting out questions harder than before.That was precisely what Anastasia wanted. Although she successfully threw Rose under the bus, she kept it as subtle as possible. Facing the reporters, Anastasia quickly explained, "That's not true. You're speculating." She looked protective of Rose by "defending" her.After noticing the awry in her statement, they couldn't possibly just accept her half-hearted explanation. On top of that, the protagonist was right before them. They needed to get this scoop!They refocused their attention on Rose, ignoring Anastasia. "If Mr. Young Senior died because of you, are you directly respo
When Rose opened her eyes, she was surprised to see someone in front of her. "Jonathan? He's back in Regalia too?" she wondered.Upon seeing his scrunched eyebrows, she finally understood Jonathan had protected her from the attack. "A-Are you alright?" She stood up with Miles' help and hurriedly went to check on Jonathan.However, Jonathan turned away from her and shielded her with his tall body. His gaze then landed on the journalist. The latter had long been petrified to see Jonathan.Although there were minimal reports regarding the new ruler of Finch Group, he knew who Jonathan was as a journalist. He could easily disregard the Youngs, but he dared not mess with Jonathan and the Finches.Upon realizing that he had struck Jonathan's head, he hastily explained, "Mr. Finch, I didn't mean to hit you. I wanted to teach her a lesson…""You… teach her a lesson?" Jonathan's gaze turned cold."Yes…" The journalist quickly realized something and retracted his words. "No, I… I… I…" He
Leonard answered Finley's call and said slowly, "Yosef's family controls FMZ Media. I'm afraid that…"Finley couldn't care less if the devil himself controlled FMZ Media. Yosef's family had always been Jonathan's archnemeses, and they had tried to kill him while he was in Aquastead on several occasions. Wiping out FMZ Media was the least they could do to settle the score with Yosef's family."Mr. Finch was also beaten up by someone from FMZ Media," Finley said gravely. "Do you think we should spare them?"Leonard was rendered speechless by this. The paparazzi had beaten Jonathan up. How had they gotten away with such a feat? Something must have happened to lead up to this shocking event.He was about to press for details when Finley explained, "The paparazzi nearly hurt Mrs. Finch. So, I'll ask you again. Do you think we should spare them?"Finley had been Jonathan's confidante for a long time, and his voice was laced with the chilling promise of a terrible wrath.Leonard froze.
