"Shall we go give it a try?" Emily played along.As the two women discussed dishes at the restaurant, they gradually walked away. Clover and Miles, who were still glaring at each other, suddenly lost their interest in staying behind. They turned around to hurry after Rose and Emily."I'm hungry too. I'll join," Clover said with a smile."Rosie, a friend of mine owns that restaurant. I'll get him to recommend some dishes for us," Miles enthusiastically suggested.Clover retorted, "Ha! We can order for ourselves. We don't need any recommendations."Miles responded, "Oh, I was just planning to recommend them to Rosie, not you.""Mr. Miles…""Mr. Xanth…"As the two continued to bicker, Rose felt a headache coming on."Ha… Emily, is this how Clover usually behaves?" Rose asked Emily as she shot Clover a weird look.The CEO of Lerain Group, who controlled the entire corporation's decisions, was acting like a schoolboy.Emily shook her head. "Not at all. This is the first time I've
The luxury was evident at a glance and was clearly the result of immense wealth. It was undoubtedly the most extravagant wedding ever held by a celebrity in the entertainment industry.Yara felt incredibly delighted as she swiped through photos of the venue. But when she reached an image, she stopped abruptly. Her expression darkened with displeasure."What's this?" The image was supposed to be her wedding photo. She and Jonathan hadn't had time to take official wedding photos, but she had carefully taken a solo picture in her wedding dress yesterday.She had asked for post-production to combine her solo picture with a photo of Jonathan and create a wedding photo to be used at the ceremony today. But in the image before her, the groom was shown only from the back although her picture was used. His face was hidden. Without seeing his face, how would anyone know who the groom was?"They said it's Mr. Finch's decision. I think it's cause Mr. Finch is usually low-key, and perhaps h
One of the bridesmaids laughed and said, "If it isn't fun, should I find something entertaining for you?"She flashed Rose an evil grin and clapped her hands a few times. Soon, several men walked over."Get in and keep her company!" she ordered.The other bridesmaids giggled and urged, "Go on! Look at her, she's all wet. Make sure to give her a change of clothes."Change of clothes? How could there be any clothes to change into at the pool? Were they planning to have these men strip her clothes off in the water? Were they trying to humiliate her?Rose's eyes narrowed with a hint of disgust. Those men were obviously prepped in advance as they quickly jumped into the pool one after another."Ha ha! Capture it! Hurry up! It's such a wonderful scene."Who knows? We might be able to sell it to the media outlets at a high price in a few days and stir up some buzz!""Yes, but in a few days. We can't let her steal the bride's spotlight tonight." The women were high on malice.In the p
Finley wasted no time and immediately dialed Jonathan's number.In a room at the hotel, Jonathan sensed the urgency in Finley's voice on the other end of the line. His dark eyes were ominous and cold. "Find out how she ended up in the water."Finely was momentarily stunned. "Wait, Mr. Finch. Shouldn't you be looking for Mrs. Finch? Both Mr. Miles and Mr. Xanth are…"Jonathan had hung up the phone before Finley could finish. Finley looked at his phone, puzzled. That was strange. He knew better than anyone how much Jonathan cared about Rose. If it were in the past, Jonathan would have immediately instructed him to go after Rose, but it seemed that Jonathan wasn't too concerned about Clover and Miles being close to Rose today.But then again, the reason Rose fell into the water was also important. Finley stopped overthinking and quickly requested the surveillance footage. Soon, everything that had happened near the swimming pool was clear, including the conversation the bridesmaid
Yara suspiciously asked, "Really? Almost?""Yes, really!"This assurance brightened Yara's mood considerably. "You're right. Today's my big day. Everything can wait until after today."She checked the time and realized there was only half an hour left before the wedding ceremony. The thought that she would soon become Jonathan's wife filled her with excitement.However, she had no idea that what awaited her was a shocking surprise that would make her wish she were dead.Meanwhile, Rose returned to the hotel and changed into a new outfit. Clover and Miles accompanied her, one on each side. As they walked through the hotel, they drew everyone's attention. The three of them took their seats and waited for the wedding to begin. Although the bride and groom had yet to appear, the media outlets were already in position and ready to capture every moment.Finally, the groom took the stage at the emcee's invitation. He was tall and well-dressed in a tailored suit, but he kept his back t
"Thank you to Mr. Maize. You may now take your seat at the main table." The emcee's voice echoed through the hall.The unexpected announcement caught everyone's attention by surprise, but Yara gazed at the figure standing in front of her and dismissed any doubts about the order of the event. She assumed it was all part of Jonathan's plan.She even urged Rupert, "Dad, please go."With so many people watching, Rupert dared not question the Finch family's arrangements although he was displeased. He stepped off the stage and headed to the main table.At the main table, Eleanor was seated at the head. The table was filled with members of the Finch family, including Cyrus and Lizzie, Yosef and Bella, and one conspicuously empty seat next to Eleanor.Rupert sat beside Bella. While all eyes were on the bride and groom on the stage, he whispered, "Whose seat is that?"He couldn't figure out who could be important enough to sit in such a prominent spot, but Bella didn't seem to care much.
Everyone in the audience was seated a bit far away, so they couldn't see the groom's face clearly. Even Yara, who was on stage, found her view obscured by the cascading petals.Although she couldn't see the man's face, his tall and imposing figure slowly approaching her was something she couldn't look away from.Her heart skipped a beat with every step he took, and by the time he was almost in front of her, she felt like she could barely breathe.Jonathan… Setting aside his identity as the ruler of the FInches, his mere appearance was handsome enough to outshine any celebrity. It was enough to make her infatuated, and this outstanding man was going to be her husband.He stopped just a step away from her as the petals continued to fall more densely now. All he needed to do was reach out, and he could hold her hand.Yara gulped nervously, barely containing her excitement. She wished that the petal rain could stop so that Jonathan could lift her veil and admire her beauty.As the ex
This man was not who Yara wanted.Her interactions with him were nothing more than a chance encounter at the bar, and she had played with him a few times out of boredom. Though he was tall like Jonathan, his appearance and status were far inferior.Status? Yara suddenly grasped something. "Yes, the marriage alliance between the Finch and Maize families is today. I'm the daughter of the Maize family, so the man marrying me should be from the Finch family, but he's not!"As far as she knew, Jack was her cousin, so marriage between them was impossible. There was said to be a mysterious fourth grandson in the Finch family, whom Yara knew was Ezra bearing the last name Turner. That left only Jonathan.Everyone was watching Jonathan, seemingly waiting to see how he would respond to Yara. But Jonathan suddenly laughed. He glanced at the groom onstage and then at Bella and Yosef."For a marriage alliance between the Finch and Maize families, you'll naturally be marrying a Finch. And t
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
