last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
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

  • Honey, You're a Billionaire?   Chapter 391 Seeking Jonathan Out

    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

  • Honey, You're a Billionaire?   Chapter 392 An Act of Jealousy

    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

    Finley inched closer to Jonathan and whispered, "Mr. Finch, she's the woman who accosted you outside Young Estate. You wanted to make Mrs. Finch jealous, right? Well, Ms. Maize here has the figure and the looks to make Mrs. Finch supremely jealous."The suggestion was bold, and even if Finley didn't think Jonathan's plan to make Rose jealous was a good idea. Alas, he had no choice in the matter other than to play along with Jonathan's plans."Mr. Finch, I came by to thank you and the rest of Rise Entertainment for helping me pave my career in the local entertainment industry. I'm not very familiar with it, which is why I haven't signed with any agency before this. "Imagine how terrible it would be if this had continued," Yara said, pouting like a child. She knew men couldn't resist the masculine urge to protect her if she put on the damsel-in-distress act.However, Jonathan only frowned at her. "Maize… Did you say your last name was 'Maize'?"Many people had that last name, but h

    A few faces flashed through Finley's mind, all belonging to the other male Finch family members from Jonathan's generation.Just then, the elevator doors opened with a ding. Finley looked up to see the most handsome man in the entertainment industry walking toward them. With a face crafted by the angels, the man wore the simple white blouse like he was doing it a favor."M-Mr. Turner?" Finley frowned.Not a lot of people knew that Ezra, the hottest male star in showbiz, was from the Finch family. Rise Entertainment had been established because of him.Finley immediately thought about what Jonathan had said in the elevator. Was Jonathan planning to let Ezra fulfill the marriage alliance with Yara instead?He dared not speak this thought aloud, but the comprehension laced with surprise in his eyes told Jonathan enough."What are you doing here?" Ezra asked sullenly when he saw Jonathan.Though Ezra and Jonathan were siblings, their meetings were always hostile. If one didn't kno

    Ezra leaned against the wall, looking amused as he crossed his arms. He and Yara had never met, but each knew who the other was courtesy of their profession. Ezra was the most handsome man in the entertainment industry with countless female fans. In the past, Yara would have found a way to stir up a potential romance with him for the sake of publicity.However, she had set her sights on Jonathan, who stood at the top of the social food chain and ruled the Finch family. She couldn't be bothered with lesser men like Ezra.She had caught the wicked amusement in Ezra's eyes and knew that he'd heard everything she said. But that didn't matter. She looked away from him, rolling her eyes as she did.Jonathan was somewhere on this floor. He did not like red, but she doubted even he could resist the allure of seeing a woman in white. She couldn't wait to see him, and in her eagerness, she made her way toward the office.She had taken only a few steps when she heard a lazy male voice drawl

  • Honey, You're a Billionaire?   Chapter 397 The Woman Jonathan Loves

    When Yara's question was met with silence, she let loose a torrent of abuse. But just before she hung up, a female voice sounded from the other end."Jonathan is in love with someone."Yara never expected to hear this from a stranger. She asked instinctively, "Who?""Rose Shaffer," came the answer from the stranger on the other end.Yara blinked. "Who the hell is Rose Shaffer?" She had never heard of any Rose Shaffer, who hailed from Regalia."I can't help you with that, but I can tell you that Jonathan is madly in love with Rose. So what should you do if you want to marry the head of the Finch family?" the woman asked.Yara pondered the question. If the woman on the other line was telling the truth and Rose truly existed, she would do anything to come between Rose and Jonathan. But there was something else she needed to know—the identity of her secret messenger.Yara was about to ask when the other person hung up. She stared at her phone silently for a while. She muttered Rose'

    The plate of fried eggs in front of Rose looked… reasonably okay."Hurry, sit down." Clover was eager and couldn't wait to receive praise from Rose.He personally handed the fork to Rose and watched as she took a bite of the egg. "How is it? How is it?" he asked.He felt that he had already used up ten percent of the skills he learned.Who knew how many eggs he messed up during that hour in the kitchen? But this time, it was actually successful, and he could even earn Rose's praise… right?But as soon as Rose took a bite, she heard a crunching sound.The sound wasn't loud, but Clover was right next to Rose, so he heard it clearly.Even Elijah, who was nearby, vaguely heard it.The most unsettling thing that happened was when everything suddenly went quiet.Rose felt a rush of panic and instinctively stopped moving her mouth. She thought that she had bitten down on a small stone, but how could there be a stone?Rose thought about it—it had to be the eggshell.Eating eggshells

    "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? What surprise?Rose smiled, feeling a hint of an

    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.

    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
