"It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken you to the bar last night, the bad guy wouldn't have taken you away…" Yvonne cried in remorse. At the Young Estate, a hint of guilt surfaced in Miles' heart as he sat on the couch and watched Yvonne bawl. It even seemed that Yvonne wished she could bear all the pain for Rose.Gabriel sat beside him and glanced at him, looking a little diffident. He was the one who said Rose was taken away by a bad guy after Miles attached the bad guy label to Jonathan."Rosie, where are you? Say something…" Yvonne's heart was in knots.Yvonne hadn't stopped speaking in an anxious voice since the call was connected. Rose finally grabbed the chance to speak."I'm fine—""Rosie, it's all my fault…"Rose immediately comforted her. "I'm fine. Yvonne, you… calm down. Just calm down…"Yvonne was taken aback. "You're fine? Is that true? Did the bad guy go easy on you?" She was still worried that Rose had said that to appease her concerns.Rose eyed the "bad guy",
"Regalia Drama House? What does that have to do with me?" Jonathan sounded like he had eaten gunpowder. "Isn't there anything else going on in The Finch Group? Is the entertainment industry all that's left?"Leonard broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed Jonathan's mood was worse than he had imagined!It must be because he was called away to the Finch Manor last night, interrupting his time with Rose. But he had gone back in the morning and should have spent his entire day lovingly cozying up to Rose.Why did he seem like he had unfulfilled desires? Could the couple be in an unharmonious state?Leonard was more mindful of his words as he went on to say, "Mr. Finch, the Regalia Drama House is different.""How could it be different? Is your girlfriend in it?" Jonathan's face was ugly.Leonard wore a grim look on his face as he spoke, "Mr. Finch, I dedicate all my time to work, and I'm determined to contribute to you and The Finch Group till my last breath. How could I have a girlfrie
When Oliver was alive, he never liked anyone else to sit in his car, not even Anastasia. Even tagging along was unacceptable.Miles knew Oliver's habits best, but he allowed Rose to use Oliver's car. Anastasia got into the car with a face full of doubts.In Miles' office on the top floor of the Young Group, an assistant was reporting the arranged schedule for the day, confirming everything up till the afternoon."Mr. Miles, you have a dinner scheduled with Thomas Chambers at seven."Thomas Chambers was the head of the Chambers family in Regalia. Although the Chambers family didn't venture into the business world, they had an esteemed reputation in politics. The Chambers and Youngs had always had a close relationship.Miles had something to ask for at tonight's dinner but…"Seven is too late," Miles murmured.The assistant was puzzled. 7:00 p.m. for dinner wasn't late. He didn't know that Miles wasn't referring to dinner time.Miles then said, "Change it to noon." Changing it
Jack had never expected anyone to greet him in person.He hadn't revealed his plan to attend the performance, but he instantly understood. They must have found out through some channel that he had a ticket, which explained the grand reception."Baby, come on…" Jack beckoned to his companion. The reception deeply satisfied his ego. He entered the theatre through a special passage surrounded by the staff. Not long after, another car stopped. Jonathan was dressed in a white shirt the same style he had worn when he first met Rose. Before coming, he had even styled his hair like how it was done that day.Walking into the Regalia Grand Theatre, Jonathan frequently checked his reflection when passing by glass decorations. He ensured he looked exactly how Rose liked before he satisfiedly continued forward.Following Jonathan, Leonard had never seen him care so much about his appearance."Doesn't he look like a peacock seeking a mate?" Leonard realized with a start that he had inadvert
Jonathan felt a bit disappointed. The woman beside him was intently watching the stage, not sparing him a single glance. Was he not as attractive as the performance on stage?"Ahem… ahem…" Jonathan cleared his throat like he was vying for attention, but his action didn't draw Rose's notice. Instead, it caught someone else's gaze.Their eyes met… A trace of surprise flashed across both Miles' and Jonathan's faces. Maybe the audience lights were too dim, but with Jonathan's attention solely on Rose, he hadn't noticed Miles' presence. Similarly, Miles hadn't realized Jonathan was there either.With Rose sitting between them, their eyes met for a second. Both gave each other a faint smile before looking away, their smiles vanishing.On stage, the dancers were performing with great dedication. As the principal dancer, Yvonne executed numerous high-difficulty moves and drew thunderous applause from the audience.Amid the applause, Rose's heart was bursting with excitement. Yvonne had lo
Rose turned around and met Jonathan's eyes. He didn't say a word, but his gaze clearly spelled out, "Don't go". There was a hint of displeasure and a clear warning in his eyes, causing an inexplicable shiver to run down Rose's spine.Under the spotlight, the audience's attention shifted to the person next to Rose as she turned. The crowd was momentarily stunned upon seeing Jonathan.Most people present didn't know his identity, but his face and the aura he exuded were no less imposing than Miles'. Speculation arose among the attendees about which family in Regalia Jonathan belonged to.A few recognized him, their eyes showing a mix of surprise and gossipy interest as they stared at the young woman whose hand he held."Rosie?" Miles ignored Jonathan and continued to extend his hand with a gentle smile. He looked at Rose as if he wasn't urging her but was patiently waiting.Rose felt as if the gazes from the crowd would burn through her. She wished she could disappear on the spot.
The voice was loud enough for many to hear, echoing the unspoken thoughts of those in attendance. All eyes once again turned to the handsome man on stage.Those familiar with his identity broke out in cold sweat, for they recognized him as Jonathan. To disrespect him so openly could only incur the wrath of this revered figure.However, Jonathan showed no signs of anger. His world seemed to revolve solely around the woman beside him as he gazed at her tenderly. "I am the most important person in her life," he declared before adding with equal certainty, "and she is the most important person in mine."Rose felt her heart flutter under Jonathan's passionate gaze, her face flushing with heat and embarrassment. Almost instinctively, she averted her eyes, her bashfulness evident to the onlookers.When Miles confessed, "She is the most important person in my life", her reaction was different. The contrast made it apparent, even without words, that Jonathan was the one who truly held a s
The song's heartfelt lyrics, amplified by her passionate performance, seemed to be sung exclusively for Jonathan. As anticipated, his gaze remained fixated on her throughout, never once shifting away.Yara's excitement escalated, prompting her to take it up a notch. As the song approached its most emotional peak, she deliberately turned her back, aiming to captivate Jonathan with an enchanting glance over her shoulder.Her heart fluttered with anticipation, confident that her captivating gaze would ensnare him. However, upon turning around, Yara was met with an unexpected sight—Jonathan's seat was empty.Her instincts kicked in as she frantically scanned the audience, losing her focus on lip-syncing to the music. Not only was Jonathan nowhere to be found, but the situation worsened as murmurs began to spread."Wait… Is she lip-syncing?""Of course, she is. Isn't it obvious? She's not even moving her lips, yet the singing continues.""It's fake! I knew her voice sounded too perfec
