After taking a deep breath, Lizzie calmly instructed Claire and released her hand, which was placed on the door handle.

"Got it. Be right back." After Claire left frantically, Lizzie revealed a cold smile as she adjusted her gown. She slowly made her way to the third floor and entered the last room at the end of the hallway.

When Ezra rushed to the second floor, he didn't see Lizzie. Instead, her assistant was standing near the staircase.

"Mr. Turner, you can't…" Claire looked anxious as she blocked his way, but his furious gaze made her retreat in fear.

In reality, Lizzie had said to act scared when blocking Ezra so they could seamlessly lure him into her room on the third floor. However, Claire was genuinely afraid when faced with him.

"Scram!" he growled with gritted teeth.

Claire was scared to her core. She had heard that Ezra had a wild temperament but had never seen him this frightening—like a ferocious beast escaped from a cage.

She instinctively glanced toward the thir

    At the sight of the door, Ezra walked in. When Lizzie watched the door close, her victorious gaze became more visible. She was glad to have organized the exhibition in this gallery, which was Cyrus' private property. All these years, he had not visited this place because of "her", but the content of the room remained inside.Lizzie was proud of her perfect plan.Taking a last look at the door, she exited the room. Outside, the anxious Claire quickly went up to her upon her appearance. "Mrs. Finch, is Mr. Turner—""He's fine. So am I." Lizzie's calm voice interrupted her. Then, she said, "Bring Jonathan over."The sound of his name was enough to scare Claire. After many years of being Lizzie's assistant, she had never seen Jonathan show up for his father's birthday. What had Lizzie done that could convince him to come over?"Mrs. Finch…"Sensing her reluctance, Lizzie flashed her a cold smile. "Send him an anonymous email containing the list of purchased paintings and their rece

    Either? Jack saw through her but didn't expose her.Their conversation was audible through the slit of the door, and Rose, standing just outside, kept repeating these words—I slept with him—in her head.Did Jonathan and Yara… Miles' words about the two leaving the hotel resurfaced in her head, and things started to make sense.It felt like her heart was being clenched tightly, suffocating her. Before she could calm herself down, she distinctly heard a voice. "Who said I was going for Rose?" Jack lit his cigarette and blew out the smoke.Yara was shocked. "But that night at the club in the surveillance room, you were looking at…" She was sure Jack was staring at Rose. Then, she paused as if reminded of something. "You weren't looking at Rose!"The surveillance footage appeared in her mind. That night, she was busy focusing on Rose and didn't notice that there was another woman with her! "You…" She stared at Jack in disbelief.Putting out the cigarette, Jack seemed indifferent.

    The pressure on her neck increased, and the gaze before her was filled with hatred. There was no conflict between Rose and Ezra, so why would there be any resentment? She deduced that he had mistaken her for someone else."Ezra, look at me. It's me, Rose…" She squeezed out her words amid the chokehold.Ezra visibly froze when he heard her name. The person before him was Rose, but the headache caused him to jolt his head. When he reopened his eyes, he saw the person he resented again."Give her back to me!" he yelled, resuming the force on her neck. His eyes even showed signs of murderous intent as he repeatedly mumbled, "You're a vicious woman. Give her back to me! Now!"Vicious woman? Give her back to him? Rose became more confused at this point.The air was thinning in her lungs, and she exerted great strength to pry open the fingers on her neck. However, she had underestimated his power. Soon, the inevitable suffocation led her to unconsciousness. Amidst her weakness, she cal

    "The third floor!"The hallway to the third floor of the gallery was locked. Miles had asked the staff about it but was told that was where Cyrus stored his important items. As such, it was not open to the public year-round. They had also assured him nobody was on the third floor.Without a second thought, Jonathan dashed toward that floor.All the hallways on the third floor were equipped with high-tech digital locks. Since this gallery belonged to Cyrus, Jonathan glanced at Leonard, who was following behind, and tacitly communicated what he needed. Immediately, Leonard fished out his phone and dialed a number.Downstairs, everybody remained stunned in place. When a phone rang, the crowd simultaneously looked toward Cyrus, who wore a gloomy expression. When he looked at his phone, he furrowed his brows. The ringtone continued echoing throughout the gallery, creating an eerie atmosphere. After some time, he finally answered the call.On the other side of the call, a cold voice s

    Save him? Who else was in the room besides Rose? Jonathan and Miles had no time to pay attention to anything else in the secret room. They helped Rose up and immediately checked on her.Seeing her clothes slightly disheveled and a bloodstain on her forehead, Jonathan's heart skipped a beat."What did he do to you?" Miles asked, gritting his teeth and holding his breath. He was afraid to hear the answer.What had Ezra done to her? Rose recalled the earlier moments. She had thought she was going to die, but Ezra suddenly released her, and… Rose dared not delay any longer. "Quick, save him. Ezra… Ezra… he…"The memory was too painful for her to recall. She quickly turned her head to look at the man lying in the corner.Jonathan and Miles looked over, following her gaze. Under the red light, the man lay with his eyes closed, and his face…Ezra… Something seemed to hit Jonathan inside. How could it be Ezra? He instinctively resisted the idea of Ezra being involved in this matter.

    Noel stared at Ezra and couldn't help but sigh. "Back then, all indicators showed he was fine. There have been no abnormalities over the years. It shouldn't have relapsed that easily, unless…""Unless what?" Jonathan seemed to have his answer."Unless there was a trigger."Noel's answer matched what Jonathan had in mind. A trigger.His gaze fell on Ezra's uninjured hand, which was tightly gripping something. He and the doctors had tried to pry open Ezra's hand but failed. Could it be related to the trigger?"I understand. I'm leaving Ezra to you." Jonathan knew what Ezra's condition would be like after his relapse. They had walked out of it together once, and he was certain that they could do it again. Noel left the room after giving a few more instructions. After having confirmed Ezra's condition, Jonathan hurried to find Rose. He followed the information Leonard provided and arrived at Rose's ward just to see her push open the door to Ezra's room.Miles had gone to inquir

    Ezra panted heavily and grasped Jonathan's hand in joy. This time, he was determined not to let go.As they walked through the night, he noticed Jonathan seemed getting tired. Jonathan's steps slowed significantly, so he could easily follow. They ran into the Young siblings not long after.From that day on, he always followed Jonathan around. Although Jonathan remained aloof, rarely spoke, and never smiled, he could sense Jonathan's protection and love for him.He heeded Jonathan's advice and avoided the Finches. But when Lizzie offered him the chance to visit Nancy, he went with her. He missed Nancy dearly.He could sense Jonathan's worry for Nancy from the fact that Jonathan often called out "Mom" in his sleep. It suggested that Jonathan was probably dreaming of her.Ezra told Jonathan that Nancy had often cried over his photo after leaving the Finch family, and Jonathan would always respond with a scornful smile, not believing his words.He wanted to tell Nancy that Jonathan m

    Jonathan's tone was laced with sarcasm. Rose felt his anger and helplessness, but she was unsure how to comfort him. She reached out and grasped his hand, the warmth in her palms seemingly injecting comfort into his cold heart. Jonathan turned to look at Rose, almost instinctively gripping her hand tighter. He silently recited the oath he had long made. As for the past…He withdrew his gaze. The warmth of Rose's palm eased the bitterness in his voice when he spoke of the past."After Ezra injured himself with a blade, I found that the blade came from a helper in the Finch Manor. When I interrogated him, he clammed up. I'm still suspecting Lizzie…"Lizzie… Rose was reminded of the seemingly gentle and kind woman."Is she the woman Mr. Finch fell in love with when Nancy had Ezra?"When Jonathan spoke of the past, Rose noticed he would try to avoid addressing Cyrus. She knew the enmity between them and avoided referring to Cyrus by his name.To her surprise, Jonathan answered, "No

    As expected, Rose slowly began to reveal her thoughts and plans. "After this design won an award, Jonathan purchased the design draft, which means that these couple rings are unique and not available as any other product on the market."But now, she wanted to start mass-producing these couple rings.She wanted to turn this ring into a product known by everyone, so wherever Jonathan might be, if he happened to see it, he would know she was thinking of him. However…"Red diamonds are rare and extremely valuable…" Rose trailed off.Olivia frowned, realizing that even if this ring went into mass production, not many people would be able to afford it.But Rose made up her mind that no matter how great the cost was, nothing was more important than having Jonathan return. Besides, the one thing she currently wasn't lacking would probably be money and resources."Young Group still has some red diamonds in their inventory. The Xanth family has several mines in Frenchaa.

    Natalie also noticed Ava standing up.The two of them paused for a moment, and with a brief exchange of glances, they understood what the other was about to do.The mental process Natalie went through just now was interesting. She was trembling with fear.She never expected that all the praise Rose just gave in the office was actually about Olivia. Additionally, Rose considered Olivia as her sister!Ah! She was thinking about making a good impression on Rose, trying to win her over and outshine Olivia. But now, how could she compare? She couldn't compare! She just couldn't compare with that.She could no longer view Olivia as a rival, as Olivia simply wasn't worthy of that status. What she needed to focus on now was changing Olivia's negative impression of her. So, she was going to apologize!Natalie and Ava went to Olivia's office.Olivia didn't pay much attention to their arrival and acted as usual. It wasn't until she noticed they weren't discussing work after coming in tha

    Natalie had just delivered the coffee. Did Rose not drink it?"Is Ms. Lenner in the office? I have a document that needs her signature. Where did she go?" Rose asked."I saw her heading toward the pantry just now, and she was holding two cups in her hands. How strange…"Natalie was jolted awake after hearing that voice.Olivia went to the pantry, and Rose had also gone into the pantry.Natalie felt a strange sensation in her heart. Almost as if guided by an unseen force, she walked toward the pantry.Inside the pantry, Olivia squeezed a glass of juice for Rose.Yesterday, she received a call from Miles. During the call, Miles instructed her to take good care of Rose after she joined the design department. He emphasized that she should not be overworked, showing great concern for Rose's well-being.When she connected this with how she accidentally saw Rose feeling nauseous yesterday, Olivia began to suspect something.Olivia gazed at the freshly squeezed orange juice in her han

    Rose's compliment caught everyone present off guard once again. Did Rose acknowledge Olivia?This… Why was it different from what they expected?"Ms. Shaffer, Ms. Lenner's capabilities as a manager are well recognized by everyone. But now that you're here, the director position is obviously yours. Don't…"Rose glanced at the person who started speaking and recognized who it was.From the moment she walked in, she could sense this person's resentment toward Olivia. There was dissatisfaction that Olivia, who had only recently joined the department, was appointed as the design director for Young's House of Jewels.Rose's eyes seemed to have the ability to see through a person's thoughts or feelings.She interrupted the person, smiling softly, and said, "Being a design director is hard work. I'll leave the responsibility and the burden to Ms. Lenner. I won't take on the role."What she meant was that she didn't come here to experience hardship and toil.Indeed, even if some of her

    Olivia was not embarrassed when she was caught. In fact, she seemed relieved. "Ms. Shaffer, I haven't done well enough. Now that you're here, I'd like to request a job change. If I could become your assistant and you give me the opportunity to learn, that would be even better."Her decision wasn't influenced by the mockery she overheard earlier in the lounge.Upon hearing that Rose was coming to Young's House of Jewels, she had already made up her mind.She learned that Rose was once the champion of a national jewelry design competition. Her designs were highly praised within the industry. Rose had already become her idol.The position of design director was perfect for Rose.She willingly decided to be Rose's secretary.When Olivia made the request, she was extremely nervous, fearing that Rose might reject her."I disagree," Rose said clearly.It was as Olivia expected. There was clearly a hint of disappointment in Olivia's eyes as if her high hopes had ended in disappointment

    Rose nodded. "Okay.""Don't overwork yourself," Clover said."Okay."Miles chimed in, "Whatever happens, always be honest with us.""Okay."Miles and Clover gave their advice one after another, and Rose agreed to everything. She understood that their advice came from a place of care for her."Miles, Clover, don't worry. I'll be fine," Rose said with a gentle smile on her face.Her smile left the two of them momentarily dazed.Ever since Jonathan went missing, even when Rose managed to smile, it was with a sense of sadness that tugged at their hearts. But at this moment, it seemed like she had returned to her former self—Lively, playful, pure, and warm.She even said she would be just fine!At that moment, Mile and Clover finally felt a bit of relief from the worries they had been carrying for some time.They continued their search for Jonathan every day without fail, but each time returned with no news. They weren't sure if Jonathan would ever come back.If Jonathan didn'

    Kelly's laugh was particularly eerie.Even Anastasia couldn't help but frown as she felt a chill run down her spine.Kelly's laughter echoed through the empty room, and after some amount of time, Kelly murmured a name."Rose! My name is Rose! Yes, I'm Rose!"I am the true heir of the Young family. I am the daughter of Elijah from Lerain Group. I have a caring brother and a loving husband. I am also pregnant..."Kelly touched her belly and said, "I'm pregnant, and I'm really happy. Haha! I'm Rose! I'm Rose. Do you want to congratulate me?"Kelly looked at Anastasia. Her expression looked very eerily strange.Anastasia stared at Kelly for a while. Had Kelly gone insane? Was it genuine insanity, or was she just pretending to be insane?She was considering herself as Rose?But how could someone like Kelly be capable enough to consider herself Rose?"You're not Rose!" Anastasia said slowly.Even if Kelly truly had lost her mind, Anastasia wouldn't let her hide in the perfect worl

    "Something major happened in recent days," Anastasia said.Anastasia's tone made Kelly instinctively feel that the so-called big news she was talking about was definitely not something she wanted to hear.Kelly's eyes showed a hint of fear—she wanted to avoid learning about this so-called big news.Unfortunately, she was at another's mercy, like a fish on the chopping block.Anastasia aimed to torment her not just physically but also mentally, making her feel like living was worse than dying."No—"As soon as Kelly began to speak, Anastasia interrupted her potential refusal by saying, "Rose is pregnant."Kelly's expression clearly showed she was taken aback for a moment.She didn't want to listen, but each word in that sentence pierced her eardrums like needles.

    "He'll come back!" Rose spoke with determination.Sometimes no news was the best news—Jonathan might have encountered some unavoidable situation.As long as his body hadn't been found, he was still alive.She knew that they would continue searching, and all she could do was take care of the baby in her womb and wait for him to return.Jonathan would come back!Ezra was moved once again by her determination.

He definitely will."…At that moment, in a hospital, the person lying in the bed was in a coma, but they moved their fingers slightly.But it was only for a moment, and it was as if nothing had happened.…In a nondescript mountain area in Regalia, a car made its way up and finally stopped outside an unremarkable house.Anastasia got out of the car and walked straight to the door.It seemed that someone was expecting her arrival.
