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
The familiar voice made Rose's body stiffen slightly. She hadn't expected him to follow her here.Yvonne slowly lifted her head and saw the man behind Rose. She was first struck by his stunning appearance. With his chiseled features, sharp eyes, and height, he looked like a model. Even his hair seemed to exude charm. She immediately recognized him as the most attractive man she had ever seen.Yvonne quickly returned to her senses as she recalled what the man had just said to release Rose."Are you talking to me?" she asked, still holding onto Rose.Something about this man's gaze struck her as peculiar, brimming with an undeniable possessiveness.A sudden realization dawned upon Yvonne. Without giving Jonathan a chance to respond, she eagerly pushed Rose aside, her gaze rapidly shifting between the two of them."Is he..." she began. She couldn't help but suspect the identity of the man before her.Rose's mouth twitched as she could see Yvonne's unspoken question in her eyes. H
Leonard noticed that Jonathan was staring longingly at the dance floor, likely wishing that he was the one dancing with Rose. However, his suggestion only earned him a cold glance from Jonathan."You seem to have a lot of free time, huh?" Jonathan said coolly.Leonard was momentarily stunned and wondered if he should help Yvonne out of the dance. He usually prided himself on being Jonathan's best assistant, always understanding his intentions with just a glance. But when it came to matters involving Rose, he couldn't figure out what Jonathan was thinking.He glanced helplessly at Finley, who looked both amused and sympathetic. Finley gestured for Leonard to keep his mouth shut, which he wisely did.Meanwhile, Jonathan's focus never strayed from the captivating figure on the dance floor. Rose's enchanting smile seemed to have a magical quality, effortlessly transcending the distance between them and lighting up his own expression.Outside the club, Miles sat in his car, having just
The reason why Jonathan was currently observing Rose from a second-floor railing rather than in the monitoring room was due to his ignorance of its existence. Even Yara, who knew more about this club than the Finch family's leader, demonstrated how well Yosef's family had concealed this place."What are you getting at?" Jack casually continued pouring himself a drink, his gaze still fixed on the figures dancing on the electronic screen.Seemingly tired from their revelry, the pair on the dance floor stepped away from the crowd. Yvonne whispered something to Rose, and the two disappeared from view. Jack's eyes eagerly searched the screens until he spotted them again on another panel. Grabbing the remote, he enlarged the image and replaced the previous view of the dance floor.Witnessing this series of actions, Yara became even more convinced that Jack was interested in Rose."Why watch her from afar? Wouldn't it be better to bring her here and observe her closely? It can be arra
Rose chose not to disclose Jonathan's true identity to Yvonne. Given his background, their time in Aquastead might have been for business purposes. Their shared experiences there were just fleeting episodes in their respective lives intertwined with the weighty legacy of the prestigious Finch family.The two would soon return to their separate worlds, and Rose had no desire to be swept up in unnecessary conflicts.Yvonne gently pulled Rose back and noticed a hint of bitterness in her eyes. Convinced that the couple was experiencing a rift, she was about to console Rose when a voice suddenly interrupted them."Excuse me, are you guests at tonight's celebration party?" They turned to see a staff member smiling politely outside the garden."Yes, we are. Is there something you need?" Yvonne asked, puzzled.The staff member gestured to another worker, who brought out a raffle box. "We apologize for disturbing you, but in celebration of your dance troupe's successful performance, we'v
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. You
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
Miles looked at Rose while listening to Harriette's lie that "Rose was dead".There was only one feeling in his heart—a lingering fear.If Jonathan hadn't discovered early on that Harriette was an impostor, Miles would probably still be deceived, mistaking her for the real Harriette.He didn't care about his own feelings being deceived. What really mattered to him was that the fake Harriette would use him to harm Rose!"What do you plan to do about Harriette?"When Ezra walked in, he was seemingly aware that Miles was already inside.While Rose was still asleep, he asked that question.Ezra didn't realize that "Harriette" wasn't the real Harriette he knew. He only knew that Miles had deep feelings for Harriette and was worried that Miles couldn't bear to do anything to her.If Miles truly couldn't bear it, then a lot of things would have to be done by Ezra and Jonathan.Unexpectedly, Miles said without hesitation, "Wherever she came from, that's where she's going back to."He
It wasn't a trap set by Jonathan, but rather by Ezra.After Ezra had thrown Carl into the psychiatric facility, he never showed up again. Now that he was here, he didn't dare to think about what Ezra might do to him.Ezra spoke up. "Carl, you're weird."Back at the hospital warehouse, you showed so much courage and had already decided you were willing to risk your life for the woman you love. You weren't afraid of dying then, so what's causing your fear now?"It seems like your determination to face death isn't very resolute!"Ezra's tone sounded sarcastic as he said that.Carl immediately responded, "It's not that I'm not resolute…"As he uttered the words, Carl realized he might have fallen into a trap. Feeling a bit guilty, he quickly changed his statement. "What beloved woman? Willingness to risk my life for her? You really like to make up stories, Mr. Turner."Make up stories, he said? Ezra's eyes gleamed with a sharp intensity.Carl didn't admit to taking the fall for Li
