Jack's cry instantly silenced the room. Abandoning her outburst, Bella quickly leaned over him, wanting to touch his face. However, she hesitated when she saw how swollen and bruised it was. There was nowhere she lay her hand on without causing him pain."Jack, your injuries look terrible. Do they hurt?" Bella asked, her voice quivering with concern.Every part of Jack's body felt like it was on fire, the pain excruciating and relentless. He had never experienced such agony in his life, and now, in front of Bella, he felt utterly helpless and miserable. His expression alone conveyed the extent of his suffering, intensifying Bella's anguish and anger toward whoever had done this to him."Your friends all claim they don't know who did this to you. Now that you're awake, you can tell me who the culprit is." Bella stared at Jack, desperate for a name. She needed to know who was responsible so she could exact her revenge and make that person pay dearly.It was then that Jack fully
Rupert was frustrated about this matter as well."I've looked into it. Even though Yvonne comes from the Spencer family in Aquastead, the Spencer family has no business dealings with the Young family, nor do they have any private connections. So why is Miles protecting Yvonne so closely?"The mention of the Young family deepened Bella's frown. It wasn't just the Young family, but also Jonathan.She mused, "The Young family… Jonathan… Yvonne…" There was a connection between the three, and one person came to her mind suddenly. She accidentally knocked over her coffee in her realization. "Rose! It's Rose! The Young family is protecting Yvonne because of Rose, and Jonathan is investigating that night because of her!"She continued, "Yes, it's Rose! It has to be her! The one who hurt Jack last night must be Rose. I will never let her off for doing this to my son!"Bella's eyes flashed with a mix of hatred and ruthlessness. She wished she could find Rose at this moment and teach her
Bella's head throbbed as she shouted at the officer."What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean his case is clear, and bail can't be granted? What do you mean he won't be getting out anytime soon?"Her loud outburst attracted numerous curious glances. Emerging from the chief's office with a serious expression, Jorge heard the commotion and hurried over. Bella spotted him immediately. "Jorge, tell them I can take Jack home!" she demanded, arms crossed, waiting for him to handle the situation.However, Jorge remained still, his eyes apologetic. "Jorge…" Bella's voice trembled with frustration.Afraid that she would cause an even bigger scene, Jorge pulled her aside. "Mrs. Finch, please come to my office. We need to talk about Mr. Finch's situation."Bella glanced at him but didn't refuse. Once inside Jorge's office, she slammed her bag onto a chair and demanded sharply, "What's going on?"Jorge sighed. "Mrs. Finch, I had everything set up for Jack's release. It was
Jonathan usually ignored Yosef, but he unexpectedly offered words of comfort and concern that day. Yosef was initially taken aback, but his expression drastically changed as he reflected on the meaning of Jonathan's words."What do you mean he's committed a serious offense? Jonathan, Jack has always been well-behaved and diligent at work. Don't tarnish his reputation with baseless accusations," Yosef retorted, knowing full well that Jack's abilities at work were average.However, in Eleanor's eyes, Jack represented him. He had maintained Jack's image and couldn't tolerate Jonathan tarnishing it.Jonathan's demeanor shifted from concern to shock and puzzlement. "Uncle Yosef, does this mean you don't know?"Yosef had no idea what Jonathan was talking about. He looked at his nephew, feeling a sense of foreboding rising within him. He couldn't help but wonder if Jonathan was trying to use Jack to attack him.Refusing to take the bait, he attempted to change the subject. He forced a sm
As expected, the moment Jonathan got into the car, he instructed Finley, "Head to the Young Family Hospital." Finley raised an eyebrow in curiosity.As Jonathan made his way to the Young Family Hospital, Rose took a taxi to the Finch Family Hospital.Meanwhile, Bella's outburst was still ongoing at the police station. "Do you have any idea who I am? Do you know who my son is? If you don't release him, I'll make you pay dearly!"She had lost all sense of rationality, casting aside the grace and composure befitting the name Mrs. Finch. After all, Jack was her everything. The thought of him being beaten and locked up drove her to madness. The onlookers, who were aware of her status in the Finch family, didn't dare to drive her away.When Yosef arrived at the police station, he witnessed Bella arrogantly scolding an officer, her finger pointing accusingly at his nose. Yosef's grim face darkened further. He immediately stepped forward and slapped Bella across the face. The resound
Yosef introduced himself with a smile. "Mr. Sullivan, I'm Yosef Finch."The police chief, Carson Sullivan, frowned, clearly trying to remember who he was. "Finch?" he mused.Seeing Carson still not making the connection, Yosef helped him out, which he rarely did. "About the case you took today involving Jack…"Recognition finally dawned on Carson. "Ah, yes. The family member. How may I be of assistance?" he asked politely.Yosef attempted once more to invite Carson to dinner that evening, only to be swiftly declined. Left with no alternative, he initiated a conversation outside the police station.He began, "Regarding Jack's case, while it should be thoroughly investigated, he's always been well-behaved and couldn't possibly have committed those crimes. Plus, he's injured. Is it possible to release him on bail for recovery? As for the rest..."He planned to smooth over the situation once things calmed down. However, Carson only sighed in response. "I empathize with family membe
Rose was rendered mute, reeling from the unexpected assertion that Jonathan, the revered and feared head of the Finch family, could be considered pitiful. She reckoned she must have misheard Ezra's words.But the confusion wasn't limited to Rose alone. The man standing at the door, having arrived at an uncertain point in the conversation, also raised a brow. "I'm pitiful?" he mused."Isn't he pitiful?" Ezra queried, his eyes sparkling with mirth as he observed Rose's reaction. "The woman he loves only appreciates his face. If he were to lose it, wouldn't he also lose her affection?"Rose was momentarily taken aback. The statement seemed somewhat logical. However, she quickly focused on the phrase "the woman he loves", but decided to intentionally ignore it almost as if fearing to confront the idea.Nonetheless, Ezra's claim that she was only interested in Jonathan's physical appearance didn't sound right to her.Without much thought, Rose immediately retorted, "Who said it's jus
That night, Clover drank alone at a bar in Regalia.He had just ended a call, where he found out Yosef was actively using his connections for a favor. Was he still intent on bailing Jack out? When he heard the news, he stated that Jack could not be released. The more they resisted, the more Jack would suffer.Perhaps he was so focused on his thoughts that he became unaware of the constant admiring gazes thrown in his direction. His exquisite facial features and captivating vibe made him the most appealing man in the bar.Initially, the women only admired him from afar. Then, a woman broke the ice and made her move. "Can I have a drink with you, sir?"Clover lifted his head, revealing his handsome and heart-throbbing smile. However, his irresistible lips uttered the coldest words."No, thanks."The woman felt her heart shatter. Even though he had rejected her, she maintained her composure to leave a good impression on him. As such, she didn't insist and left with a gracious smil
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
