"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

    Rose drove all night long to Chereton, where she managed to find the house according to the address the next morning.The door was open when she arrived, and a middle-aged woman sat outside in the courtyard sewing. She was surprised to see Rose."Hi there, are you Mdm. Angelica?" Rose asked gently. Angelica Willis swiftly set her sewing down and walked up to Rose.She looked at her long and hard before saying, "You're so big now, Rose. I held you when you were a baby, do you remember? Oh, you must've forgotten about me already."Angelica gazed fixedly at Rose's face, then exclaimed, "Your eyes … you look just like her!"Miles had said her eyes resembled someone else's the other day, too.

All just to steal my design – did you use such pathetic tricks just because you were afraid I'd win the award?!"Jamie sneered and hung up the call. He'd thought Rose would lose at the entry stage of the competition and use that as an excuse to deny her inheritance of Celeste Jewels.Unexpectedly, she ended up making it to the finals, and her designs were even secretly doted on by those in the Young family.

    Jonathan received a call from Rose early at 6:00 AM. He recalled how she'd mentioned she would be preparing for the National Jewelry Design Award in Chereton a couple of days ago.It'd been days since then. Did she finally remember him? When Jonathan called, it was a man who picked it up."Are you her husband? She's been in a car accident and is currently here in Aquastead General Hospital."With that, the call ended. Jonathan's heart skipped as he called the number again. But the phone had shut off this time. He drove first thing to the hospital to look for Rose.When he arrived, she'd just finished surgery and was resting in a ward, looking extremely pale."Are you family? She's lucky to still be alive after such a gruesome accident. Else the blood loss would've killed her," a nurse said softly. She then handed a blood-soaked notepad to Jonathan. "She was clutching tight onto this when they sent her in. It must be really important to her."Jonathan looked at the notepad and saw

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. The red diamonds w

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.

    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.

    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.

    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. It seeped into her skin like poison and echoed persistently in her mind.Rose was pregnant. She was pregnant with Jonathan's child!In her mind, these words played out a scene like grass in spring, sprouting and growi

    "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.
