Jonathan hadn't returned to Rose's place for three days. That was because he was trapped.For some unknown reason, Eleanor suddenly decided to take care of him personally.Although "personally taking care" of him didn't mean doing everything herself, she spent most of her time in the hospital.Jonathan felt like he was glued to the ICU bed.Eleanor seemed to genuinely care for him. Even before visiting hours, she was dressed in sterile clothing, hiding by the bedside, watching all the machines connected to Jonathan."Jonathan, you really need to get better. Finch Group is waiting for you, and so am I…"Ah, if I had known you cared so much about Rose, I would have made sure you two stayed together when she came to Regalia. Then we wouldn't be in this situation now…"Being separated by life and death must be tough on you…"You love her so much, and she surely loves you too. She also hopes that you will live well and not do anything foolish because of her."Eleanor's voice initia
Both Kelly and Miles each had their own thoughts and intentions.…At Young Group headquarters, Chloe was the first to arrive, and she intentionally brought the Yones family's legal advisor with her.In the large conference room, not long ago, these people had gathered together to witness Oliver's granddaughter, Rose, officially inherit Young Group.It had only been a little over a month, yet she…"It's truly a pity about Rose. Honestly, Mr. Young Senior, why couldn't you have looked after her from above? What a shame, really such a shame…"Some of those from the older generation, even though they had only met Rose twice, inexplicably liked her a lot.She had bright, clear eyes, showing a sense of purity. In this way, she was quite similar to Henrietta.Not like the granddaughters adopted by Oliver…Among the ones adopted by Oliver, his grandson Miles stood out. There was no doubt about it. He was intelligent and eager to learn, kind-hearted and righteous, and showed absolute
Everyone turned to look at "Harriette".Kelly glanced at Miles, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I have… an objection."Chloe was shocked. She glared at "Harriette", her eyes seemingly on fire.Anastasia also looked surprised. Why did Harriette have objections? Was she unhappy with the ten percent stake being too small?Anastasia could tell from Kelly's slightly furrowed brow and her kind yet indifferent expression, unwillingness to compete, and reluctance to hurt others that deep down, Kelly was still the same person she always knew.She probably didn't have any good intentions.When Miles' gaze fell on "Harriette", it softened slightly. "Harriette, what are your thoughts?""Yes, Harriette. If you have any objections, go ahead and share with everyone." Chloe subtly flexed her fingers.She was curious to see if Harriette had any objections."Rose just passed, and we started discussing the shares. I think it's still too harsh. Aunt Chloe and Anastasia can accept it
Rose wasn't sure how long she had been staying in that secret villa. She knew that something was happening outside. Since the day Jonathan left, he never returned, but Elijah and Clover came by every day.They all seemed to have developed a great understanding with each other. Rose didn't ask about their plan, and they didn't bring it up either.On this day, Rose finished Clover's suit. After trying it on, Clover asked Finley to bring a few gowns for Rose to choose from.Rose then immediately realized she could leave. Had the plan succeeded?Rose thought about Kelly, and a glint of coldness appeared in her eyes. She understood that they had prepared these clothes for her to wear when meeting Kelly.Which one should she wear?Rose looked around, and quickly, her eyes landed on a red floor-length gown. It reminded her of a similar K&K limited edition dress she once wore to a dinner party at Aquastead with the Lane family.Rose smirked and said, "This is the one."When Rose came o
Regalia was quite opulent, with many upscale locations. Among all the prime spot villas owned by the Young family, why did they choose to stay here?"Don't you like it here?" Miles frowned. "When you were a kid, you said this was your favorite place!"When she was a child…Kelly was suddenly alarmed and asked, "Why wouldn't I like it? I do like it very much. I just didn't expect you to arrange the dinner party here."Kelly was very cautious. There was nothing about this place in the information Lizzie had about Harriette.However, Kelly didn't have any doubts.Before Harriette disappeared, there were so many things going on that Lizzie couldn't possibly know everything about her.Besides, this could be something only Harriette and Miles knew, so she had to adapt to the situation on the fly.Sure enough, Miles' voice came from beside her, reflecting on past memories. "That year, when you first arrived at the Young family, it was your birthday. We came here together, and you said
Everyone present turned to look at the commotion.Harriette's gown was a complete mess. And the reason for this disarray was…She originally had a glass of alcohol in her hand, but now the glass was completely empty. With just one look, everyone could tell that she had spilled her drink and it had stained her gown.And the person who caused her to spill the alcohol…Earlier, Kelly's encounter was clearly far more intense than she had anticipated.She initially intended to just let a little alcohol spill, enough to stain the gown. However, she didn't expect that with just a slight touch, the woman in the red dress suddenly turned around.The force that was applied caused her drink to spill out of the cup entirely.How embarrassing! Without even looking, she knew she looked a complete mess at the moment!Kelly let out a startled scream and got ready to shout at the other party.But when everyone around turned their gaze toward her, she didn't dare to scold the woman anymore. Not
This time, Olivia had made a mistake.The only mistake was for such an important matter, and Kelly's anger always needed an outlet. "The promotion opportunity you were promised before is gone!" she snarled.Olivia was stunned. It was as if she had been dealt a heavy blow. She quickly dropped to their knees and moved forward a couple of steps, looking at Kelly with a pleading expression."Ms. Harriette, I can make amends and do other tasks. Just tell me what you need, and I promise to do my best. I only ask that you don't lose faith in me, and please don't cancel my promotion," Olivia pleaded desperately.Kelly felt an illusionary sense of control, as if she could dictate everything about the person in front of her.No. It wasn't an illusion.She currently held 69% of the shares in Young Group, which made her the largest shareholder. Eventually, the entire Young Group would also belong to her, giving her the authority to make all decisions for Young Group's employees.This great
Rose quickly dismissed this speculation. There was no way Gabriel recognized her.At that moment, the person in front of Gabriel was a stranger. Perhaps he had overheard something earlier and was kindly reminding her to stay safe."Thank you, Mr. Yones," Rose expressed her sincere gratitude.Gabriel paused in his motion of tilting his head back to drink, having not looked at her before. Only now did he slowly turn his gaze to the person in front of him.The mask covered most of her face, but the curve of her lips that was visible formed a warm smile, creating a feeling of friendliness and comfort.But that smile… Gabriel experienced a moment of confusion.He found it amusing how certain thoughts would suddenly pop into his head and then just as quickly disappear. Why did he think the person in front of him was Rose? Rose had already…Suppressing a sigh, Gabriel smiled politely at the person in front of him and said, "You're welcome. Be careful and leave here safely."After fini
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. The red diamonds w
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. 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. "Yes, he will come back. 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. The door was opened from the inside, and she was respectfully invited in.The door closed as if nothing had ever hap
