Rose's heart skipped a beat. She thought of him as a refined charming gentleman in public but a love expert behind the scenes. However, his earnest gaze and sincere tone contradicted her assumptions.

She immediately reproached her judgment and felt a pang of curiosity.

"Her? Is she your ex-girlfriend? Your first love?"

Miles noticed the curiosity in her eyes.

He chuckled and said, "No, she's my sister."

"I see. Your sister …"

Rose forced a smile. She had assumed there was some juicy backstory.

Meanwhile, Kelly was eavesdropping on them from not far away. Earlier, she had rejected Nixon's offer to send her home and pretended to take a taxi to leave.

Nevertheless, she returned after a few minutes and deliberately waited for them to come out.

Seeing them engrossed in conversation and seemingly getting along well, her jealousy flared up like a burning fire.

She was now more certain that Rose had made up to Miles to use his connections in entering the National Jewelry Design Award

    Rose quickly ran away after handing the phone to Jonathan. As she closed the bedroom door, she heard her star escort husband's deep and sexy voice from outside."Okay. We'll discuss it when I return to Regalia," he said.Rose recalled the woman's gentle voice she had heard earlier. Anastasia? From the way she talked, it seemed she had a close relationship with her star escort husband. He was returning to Regalia?Rose felt a bit uneasy. Suddenly, she thought of something. Just now, Anastasia called her star escort husband by his name."Is it 'Jon?'" she wondered.She strained her memory but couldn't recall the exact name due to nervousness.She didn't even delve into the fact that both Anastasia and her star escort husband used the word "return" when they talked about Regalia.The news that Jonathan would be a special guest judge at the National Jewelry Design Award finals quickly seized the headlines on Facebook.Many wealthy parties announced their plans to attend the auction

    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. Knowing now that Angelica meant her mother, she beamed happily, feeling closely affectionate to the older woman.Angelica told Rose all about her mother, and then handed her an old box. Inside was a large chunk of raw fire opal."Your mother left this behind decades ago. Take it. I have no use

    Rose immediately called Jamie's number.The moment it went through, she cried angrily, "You told Mdm. Angelica to do this, didn't you? 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. That's why he devised this scheme to ensure Rose's loss in the competition.Now Angelica had gotten her hands on the necklace!Jamie smirked gleefully and said to Chelsea beside him, "Kelly won't have to worry about the competition now. She'll be using Rose's design to participate. When she wins first place, I'll make sure she's equipped with the necessary flair before establishing her as a nationwide master jeweler! If she catches the eye of

    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

    Finley immediately got to work. Soon, news of the site change spread online.The competition organizer released an announcement: "The National Jewelry Design Award competition will be hosted in Aquastead instead of Regalia this year!"Ten minutes later, Ezra made a post with his photo. Underneath was the caption: "I heard Aquastead is a place you never want to leave once you set foot in it. Why don't we check it out?"Another ten minutes passed, and all the heavy players in the jewelry industry had acquiesced to the site change without argument.Kelly soon returned to Aquastead and headed to the hospital where Rose was.When she saw Rose alone in the ward, still unconscious on the bed, she sneered, "Poor thing. Did no one come to check up on you?"The nurse happened to overhear her and walked inside."Ms. Shaffer has been taken care of by her husband since yesterday. He … must've been busy today. I didn't see him return after leaving this morning.""Pft."The husband that work

    Jonathan was heading backstage under the protection of several bodyguards. Kelly only caught sight of his fading back, but it was enough to get her hyped up. Ever since the last time, Kelly had persisted with her dream of making it to the top, promising herself that she would approach Jonathan again once she got first place in the competition.She wanted to leave him a lasting impression, after all. Meanwhile, Kelly forgot entirely about the participant's name list on the screen, and so did not see when Rose's name changed from gray to red.…Evan had just gotten off his plane at the Aquastead International Airport when he called Rose's number. He'd taken an emergency flight to Finterra and saw the viral news online involving Rose.Many of his calls to her had gone unanswered, until this one."Where are you, Rose? What happened? Are … are you okay?" Evan asked worriedly.Rose leaned against her seat, wincing as her injury flared with pain."I'm okay. I'm … on my way to the com

    Ezra opened his eyes all of a sudden. Rose was taken aback by the action and swiftly ran out of the makeup lounge. Seconds later, Ezra's assistant brought in another woman who'd dressed just like Rose earlier.The assistant said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, sir. I mistook the other woman for Ms. Raeyna … "Ezra looked at Raeyna, noting how she'd dressed just like the woman from earlier – hair tied up in a ponytail, wearing a black face mask. Even her left arm was bound up in a medical sling."They do look pretty similar, "Ezra noted, amused.But the woman earlier had asked him if he had a twin brother. Did that mean she'd met someone who looked like him before? He was certain he was the only person who had his looks!"Hm."Curiosity piqued, Ezra called his assistant over."Find out who that woman from earlier is. Now!"Raeyna was left feeling disappointed.She said flatly, "I can just touch up your makeup a little, and you can head on out after."According to the event sc

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.

    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?
