Yara marched up to Kate and gripped her by the arms. "What did you just say?"

Startled, Kate eyed Yara with bewilderment. She had mentioned only one name earlier, and that was Jonathan's. She said carefully, hoping she was answering Yara's question, "M-Mr. Jonathan Finch."

She saw Yara's eyes light up. "Jonathan… Jonathan…" Yara mumbled under her breath, her mood lightening as a sudden thought crossed her mind. "This is perfect! Don't you see? This is my chance!"

Her chance to get close to Jonathan, the new person in charge of Rise Entertainment, and have him handle the controversy before it spiraled out of hand.

As long as she could see him—or rather, let him see her—she was confident she could make him fall for her.

Yara could already see her plan falling into place. Feeling victorious, she turned to Kate and ordered, "Put out a statement using my social media account and make it sound like I was so focused on my work that I didn't pay attention to any scandal, false or not.

    The reality made Rose's nonchalance feel like a slap to Anastasia's face. She could not help the jealousy boiling in her as she stormed up to Rose, intending to slap the cavalier grin off the latter's face.Anastasia raised her hand, but as she brought it down in an arc, Rose seized her wrist.Rose had regained some strength after sleeping, and she did not hold back. Anastasia tried to pull away from her grip, but her struggles were to no avail. She glowered at Rose and commanded, "Let go of me!"Rose snorted. She would be a fool to let Anastasia go and earn herself a slap across the face. She maintained her vise-like grip on Anastasia's wrist even as the latter seethed."We're in Young Estate right now! If you don't let go, I'll scream.""Go ahead," Rose said, a cruel challenge flickering in her eyes. She didn't bother playing nice now that things had escalated to the point of near-violence. "Don't think I don't know that you tripped me outside the estate yesterday."She had

    Jonathan was worried about Rose getting cold. She would have been touched by his concern if he hadn't called her "wifey", which reminded her that what they had was a deal on paper—a consequence of mistakes and happenstance.She could ignore that stinging fact if she were in Aquastead. But now that they were in Regalia, she had to admit Anastasia had given her a reality check."Don't call me 'wifey' so casually, Mr. Finch," Rose warned, her gaze distant and flickering with contempt.The smile on Jonathan's handsome face faltered slightly, but only for a moment. The corners of his lips were still tugged upward when he reached for Rose's hand. However, she drew back from him when his fingers grazed her hand. He heard her sneer the next second."You're making things hard for me, Mr. Finch. Don't you know where you are? It's not a good look for the head of the Finch family to be caught loitering outside Young Estate."Who knows what the media is capable of writing up if someone snapp

    Jonathan's words, delivered in his lazy, roguish tone, made Rose stiffen. When she caught the wicked gleam in his eyes, she immediately knew what he meant to do.As his handsome face inched closer, she instinctively drew back. However, his hand, which cupped the back of her head, kept her from pulling away. She could feel his breath tickling her cheek, his mouth dangerously close to her neck.His teeth were about to graze her skin when she suddenly cried out, "You were clear! You made yourself very clear!"Jonathan stopped, but that did not mean he was pleased with her surrender. She hadn't so much as batted an eye when she said those cruel things to him He had to punish her to soothe his wounded soul and pride. "What did I say?" he whispered into the crook between her neck and shoulder. Rose's body tingled at his playful, devilish tone. When she did not answer immediately, he prompted in a velvety voice, "Hmm?"He was demanding a response. What did he say? Rose picked through Jo

    Outside Young Estate, Yara lounged in the backseat of her luxurious car. After learning Jonathan's whereabouts from Bella that morning, she had eagerly made her way to Young Estate in hopes of catching him.She had no interest in attending a funeral, but she did not mind using it as an excuse to get close to Jonathan.Yara wore a long, black dress. She checked the makeup she had painstakingly applied. Having made sure she looked perfect, she put on her shades and stepped out of the car.She surveyed her surroundings and grew disappointed. She grumbled to Kate, "I can't believe the press didn't show up."She had expected to see reporters crowding outside Young Estate to get an exclusive on Oliver's funeral, seeing as the old man had been a titan in the industry. Had she known the press wouldn't be here, she would have contacted them and had them stationed outside in advance.Unfortunately, it was too late for Yara to pull such a stunt. She glared at Kate and said, "Forget it. Jus

    Finley spotted Jonathan coming out of Young Estate and hurriedly handed him the phone. "Mr. Finch, Mrs. Finch Senior… Mrs. Finch Senior wants you to check your phone. She also said you must answer the call…"He gave Jonathan a look as if to say, "Save yourself."Jonathan fished out his phone. Sure enough, there were several missed calls from Finch Manor. He gave Finley a brief hum in response and took the phone from him. "Grandma—" No sooner had the word left his mouth did Eleanor's snort come from the other side. "Grandma, huh? Here I was thinking you'd forgotten about me.""As if," Jonathan said lightly. "What is it? Sorry, I missed your calls. I was at Mr. Young Senior's funeral."Eleanor's displeasure waned when she heard this. She said, "I see. I called to ask you to head to Rise Entertainment. The person in charge quit, and I need you to run things for a while."Rise Entertainment? The Finch Group had countless enterprises under its umbrella, and Rise Entertainment was o

    Yara elegantly extended a hand toward Jonathan. She was an heiress who had made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, and she was revered by all. Even when she was abroad, she could walk into a room and steal everyone's attention with her charm and pretty face.There was no denying her beguiling wiles. Just one look at her and a man would find it difficult to tear his eyes away. She doubted Jonathan would be immune to her beauty.Yet, her confidence and arrogance did not help her foresee that Jonathan would leave her hanging. He did not take her hand or even offer a greeting in response.Yara decided to cut the man some slack. Perhaps he was so stunned by her beauty that he had forgotten how his body worked.She looked up slowly through her lashes, the seduction clear in her gaze. However, Jonathan met her bedroom eyes with storm-filled ones. She stiffened but chose to ignore the divot between his brows. A smile played on her lips as she stepped forward and said, "I

    Jonathan might have stepped into Rose's line of vision, but she still heard the other woman's voice loud and clear. She had already seen the woman clinging onto Jonathan's frame like a sloth earlier, and it was an image that she would not soon forget. A self-deprecating smile suddenly curved on Rose's lips as she buried her bitter thoughts and headed forward.Elated to see Rose coming his way, Jonathan broke into a jog to meet her in the middle. He extended an arm, ready to embrace her the moment they were close enough. He could already smell the scent of burning candles on her. The distance between them was growing smaller with each step they took.However, Rose suddenly sidestepped him and marched right past him. Jonathan gaped at the air before him speechlessly. An intense roaring filled his head, and he felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over him. He stood rooted in place. He wanted to move, but his legs felt like they had been weighed down by lead.Rose

    "Yes, Mr. Finch," Finley said, not bothering to ask Jonathan to reconsider.By the time Yara caught up to Jonathan, he had already been ferried off in his car. She watched as the car vanished into the distance. She thought about asking Kate to bring the car around, but she wouldn't catch up to Jonathan in time.Yara stomped her foot in anger and turned to lash out at Kate. "Why can't you be a little more proactive? Didn't you see me trip and fall just now? I could have caught up to Jonathan if you'd helped me, but now I've missed my chance because of you! He even smiled at me just now!"Her face was twisted into a menacing grimace.Kate had hurried over to Yara. She flinched as the latter threw a fit, but she couldn't help her disbelief. She had seen what happened earlier. From a spectator's point of view, Jonathan hadn't seemed all that interested in Yara. The only person he cared about was the woman who had come out of Young Estate, and Kate was surprised that Yara hadn't not

    "In three days, I wish you success, and wish myself success as well!" Lizzie declared.Kelly was dumbfounded. She understood Lizzie wishing her success, but wishing herself success?Kelly didn't really understand, but she still nodded in agreement, saying, "Here's to our success."Lizzie must have felt that she had definitely and flawlessly succeeded.Lizzie understood that there were things Kelly didn't know, so she didn't offer any explanations and had no intention of helping Kelly understand. It was her own matter, her own plan, her own future!…That night, Jonathan didn't come back.Rose was originally waiting for Jonathan when she received a call from Clover. He informed her that Jonathan had something important come up and couldn't make it, so she shouldn't wait for him.Before hanging up, he said mysteriously, "Rose, tomorrow, Uncle Elijah and I will come to see you, and when we do, I have a surprise for you."Surprise?

    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.

    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.

    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.
