Maya couldn't wait any longer. She glanced around at the hosts but couldn't spot Rose's husband.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she blurted out, "Rose, where's your husband? Why haven't we seen him? You should call him over; we're all friends here, and he should get a share of the commission.

Her speech caused chaos within the calm atmosphere. All the socialites were taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean by letting him get a share of the commission?"

Maya pretended to be surprised as she said, "Oh? You all don't know about it? Rose's husband works here!"

The socialites were left in shock.

"Is it for real? Hahaha!"

"So, Rose's husband is a host who works here. Rose, your taste is truly unique!"

Mockery erupted in all directions. It was becoming clear that Maya had set up this scenario to humiliate Rose.

Mandy was excited as she asked, "Rose, where's your husband?"

She had always been envious of Rose as she was both beautiful and talented, making her the center

    "Ms. Shaffer, I'm sorry. It's all my fault … No, it's all Maya's fault. I haven't done anything wrong. Please, I beg you, help me plead for mercy. I can't afford to lose my job at Finch Group, and my family's cooperation with Gibson Holdings is at stake!" Jackson pleaded.Upon hearing his words, Maya was left in a daze. She suddenly realized that he was not kneeling to propose but to beg for mercy. Moreover, he was pleading with Rose.She couldn't believe what she was witnessing and didn't trust her ears."Jackson, what are you saying?"She wondered what he meant by losing his job at Finch Group and the cooperation with Gibson Holdings.Jackson became even more frustrated upon hearing her voice as he said, "You're asking me? I offended Mr. Finch just because of you!"Then, he turned to beg Rose again."Ms. Shaffer, if you want to blame someone, please blame Maya. From now on, I have no relationship with her. Please talk to Mr. Gibson and Mr. Finch for me. I've heard that it was

    "Who is she? What does she have to do with me? And why should I save her?" Jonathan sneered disdainfully.However, his body had unconsciously made a move to stand up. Zac, who observed his worry despite his apparent indifference, couldn't resist teasing him."When you asked me to investigate her before, I thought you were interested in her. It seems I'd overthought. Since you're not interested in her, I have nothing to worry about."Jonathan's gaze darkened slightly as he retorted, "What are you going to do?""What else can I do? I'll play the hero and save her. Who knows, I might win her heart …" Zac said with a suave expression.He then stood up and prepared to head downstairs.However, before he could take a single step, Jonathan blocked his path and said, "I don't need your help."With that, he strode downstairs. As he reached the ground floor, Evan had also arrived at the entrance.The latter immediately warned Rose after noticing Maya behind her, "Rose, watch out behind

    In the corner of the bar, Kelly was watching the scene in disguise. She was shocked when she saw Jonathan leave.She couldn't believe that Rose's husband was actually with Zac. Furthermore, Zac's attitude toward him didn't seem like that of an employee; it was more likely they were friends.She had a vague feeling that Rose's husband's identity was not simple at all. She immediately took out the photo the paparazzi had taken at Aquastead Hotel.She sent it to him again as she instructed, "Help me investigate this person. Once the job is done, I'll pay you a high fee." Outside the bar, as Jonathan was chasing after Rose and Evan, they had just gotten into the car. He didn't hesitate and immediately drove to catch up.The car stopped outside the hotel. Then, Rose got out and entered the hotel. His gloomy face gradually relaxed when he noticed that Evan hadn't followed her.He considered Rose had been staying at this hotel for the past few days.He was displeased with the fact tha

    Jonathan's heart trembled. He frowned as he honked his horn.Seeing him in the car, Rose asked, "Why are you here?""Just passing by," Jonathan replied calmly.Rose's eyes lit up instantly. She hadn't expected a way out. Her star escort husband was indeed an angel sent by heaven. She smiled and blinked with anticipation."Um, can I stay for a night? Just one night. Then, I'll leave early tomorrow morning."Seeing Jonathan furrowing his brows, she immediately added, "I can pay you …" She had no idea that Jonathan frowned because she wanted to leave the next morning. However, he was glad that she was asking to stay of her own accord.He replied expressionlessly, "Get in the car."Rose quickly sat in the passenger seat as she was afraid that he might change his mind.On the way, she admired her star escort husband's perfect profile.She couldn't help but sigh, "You have the same last name as that so-called Mr. Finch, but you're much better than him …"She shook her head as she

    After a moment of hesitation, Jonathan gestured to Finley to leave before answering the call. The caller seemed surprised at first.Then, her gentle voice came through, "Jonathan, I never thought you'd pick up my call. How have you been these years?"Jonathan remained silent for a long time.Anastasia then continued, "I know you probably still resent me. But, I truly had no choice back then … Can't we let the past be the past? At the very least, the Finches and the Youngs are prestigious. And we used to …"Jonathan coldly interrupted her as he said, "What are you up to?"It seemed like he didn't want to indulge in reminiscing. Anastasia forced a bitter smile. She took a deep breath before getting to the point."My grandfather wants me to participate as one of the organizers for the National Jewelry Design Award. I'd like to invite you as a special judge. You can rest assured, that you'll only need to appear during the finals. It won't take up much of your time."Jonathan was abo

    "Go on and dream your little dreams. I won't stay there!"With these resolute words, Rose left the reception room in feigned composure. As she descended the stairs, her heart raced with anxiety.These rich men always played their games. Perhaps the so-called Mr Finch had set his sight on her, waiting to make her his plaything.However, she refused to be a kept woman. Besides, she had never even seen what he looked like; he might have a crooked face or twisted mouth for all she knew.Worried that he might employ further tactics, she thought of her star escort husband. She made an immediate decision. On the other hand, Finley entered the reception room after Rose left."Mr. Finch, why did Ms. Shaffer leave so fast? It's only been a short while …"Jonathan also felt a tinge of disappointment. Even though there was a folding screen between them, he had wanted to steal more glances at her. Her parting words, however…His deep eyes gleamed mysteriously. Just then, his phone rang. As e

    A twinge of melancholy coursed through Rose's senses. Feeling worried, Jonathan turned around and was about to check on her. However, she grabbed his wrist and looked at him with anticipation."What kind of surprise?"Jonathan was speechless. It seemed like she was right since she hadn't forgotten about this matter."I'll tell you when you make it to the finals," he crisply replied before heading into the master bedroom.He suddenly thought that agreeing to be a judge for Anastasia's invitation was a good idea after all.Outside the door, Rose's curiosity remained unsatisfied, but this fueled her creativity. She stayed up all night to complete her design.After uploading the design to the official website at 6:00 AM, she finally went to sleep.At 3:00 PM, she was awakened by her phone's ringtone. Still half-asleep, she could only make out that it was a call from Evan as she picked it up."Evan …""Rose, a friend from Regalia has just arrived in Aquastead and wants to see you.

    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.
