But after Kelly's cry of pain, she didn't get any response, even after waiting for a moment. Where was Miles?She clearly saw him just a moment ago. He was right behind her, not far off to the side.Kelly, despite the pain, propped herself up slightly and turned her head to look for Miles. She looked at the spot where Miles had just been standing and saw him still there."Miles…" Kelly looked at him pitifully, hoping for his sympathy. However, Miles remained expressionless.He had watched her fall to the ground. How could his face show no emotion?"Miles…" Kelly couldn't believe it.She called out to him again, but there was a cold smirk on his face. That cold smirk…Since she returned to the Young family, she had never seen such an expression on Miles's face. She was the cherished Harriette. How could Miles show her such an expression?"Miles, I'm in so much pain…" Kelly was filled with doubt. She had called out to him so many times that it was impossible he didn't hear, yet h
Kelly was genuinely panicked and truly scared. Even though she had let go of Rose's hand, she could still feel her warmth, and she turned pale."Are you alright?" Rose asked with a smile, her expression suggesting she was concerned for her.At that moment, Kelly couldn't hear any other sounds. She could only see the smile on Rose's face and felt more certain than ever that it was indeed Rose—a living Rose!Rose was alive… How could she be alive?She watched the warehouse explosion with her own eyes. She was the one who set off the explosives. She still remembered the power of the blasts, one after another in a chain reaction, powerful enough to obliterate someone completely.She even saw firsthand the remains of her body, which had been completely disfigured by the explosion. And there was also that necklace…She was supposed to be dead, so how was she alive?In Kelly's mind, countless memories flickered as she searched for clues.At that moment, someone excitedly stepped forwa
Everyone present agreed with this statement.Harriette, being the main focus of this dinner party, attracted everyone's attention. She was genuinely happy tonight, even willing to offer a million-dollar property as a prize for the party game.But now, since Rose wasn't dead, the 69% shares that Harriette expected to acquire had become unattainable. There was also uncertainty about whether the million-dollar property reward still applied.No one dared to ask. No one also knew just how furious Kelly was at that moment.She was regretting it. When did things start going downhill? It was when masks came off… No!Kelly looked at Rose's gown, which seemed perfectly intact, and suddenly realized she had been tricked by Rose and Olivia!Even Miles…Kelly couldn't bear to think any further because the consequences of doing so were more than she could handle.What should she do now?Kelly had too many questions swirling in her mind, too many uncertainties, and an underlying sense of fea
Miles kept speaking. Time and time again, he posed a new question for every year.Kelly naturally answered that she remembered. She only dared to say that she remembered, and as time went on, she was so cautious that she didn't dare to say even one extra word.Every time she responded, Miles would just give a cold laugh.By the end, Kelly felt like she was on the verge of losing her mind from the ordeal. She was completely drenched in sweat from the tension.She was almost afraid to hear Miles say, "Do you remember…" one more time. Should she remember or not?Finally, Miles stopped asking questions. He was staring intently at Kelly, and that gaze also put Kelly on edge."Miles, Miles…" Kelly called out helplessly.Miles was filled with disgust and said, "I am not your brother. If I were, how could you not remember? I never gave Harriette a pearl necklace. When she was ten, what she lost was the pearl bracelet I gave her."Kelly turned pale, her eyes flickering nervously, and sh
"Ro…Ro…" Chelsea's eyes widened, and there was a hint of tremor in her voice.Was she really that afraid of her?Rose was unsure whether she should be happy about that.Still, as they had lived together for over a decade and were now meeting again after being apart, Rose greeted with a polite smile, "It's me, Rose. No, your eyes aren't deceiving you."It was Rose!Chelsea involuntarily swallowed hard. She looked down in a panic, not even daring to meet Rose's eyes.Ever since the time when Jonathan pulled her out at Aquastead and "took care" of her for a while, it felt like she was haunted by nightmares every time she thought about that experience.Jonathan took "special care" of her because of Rose.Rose was the woman deeply loved by Jonathan. Although she was unhappy about Celeste's daughter receiving his affection, Jonathan's methods were too ruthless.She didn't even dare to feel any more jealousy about the matter since then. After returning to Regalia, she was extremely
Kelly managed to snatch Rose's fiancé, Nixon, but couldn't win over Jonathan. She almost took on Rose's identity, but Oliver saw through her.This time, she even changed her appearance and identity. She went through so much effort and was just about to succeed, only to realize that she had been played by Rose!Kelly glared at Rose with intense resentment in her eyes.Rose became even angrier because of what she said.She stared at Kelly and questioned her word-by-word, "So you tricked my grandpa, hurt him, and even killed him!"Rose couldn't help but feel a deep pain in her heart when she recalled the day Oliver collapsed in her arms."Killed your grandfather?" Kelly asked dismissively.The day when Oliver collapsed, she was indeed shocked and felt guilty. However, the guilt didn't last long, as she quickly shifted all the responsibility onto others."I want to kill you, not him. If he wanted to protect you, that's his choice. How is it my concern? Rose, ultimately, it's all be
Before Chelsea could finish speaking, Kelly was already glaring at her intensely. The look in her eyes seemed to ask why she had to choose between the two options she was offered.She deliberately chose not to pick any of them.Chelsea's panic intensified. "Do you want to feel like you're better off dead?""A life worse than death…" Kelly looked into Rose's eyes, and suddenly, something inside her finally gave way.The things she did were enough for Rose to hate her deeply. If Rose decided to get back at her, she might end up wishing for death rather than face the consequences.But… She still couldn't accept that she lost to Rose."Get out!" Rose said coldly. She didn't want to see Kelly anymore.She personally shattered Kelly's fantasies and initially wanted to make her suffer physically as well. However, as she looked at Kelly, her disdain made her feel it was beneath her to take action herself.Kelly would only get her hands dirty!Chelsea didn't hesitate for a second and q
"I'm the one who called you here. You can leave now," Kelly said. She spoke in a way reminiscent of "Harriette's" style.The men exchanged glances and suddenly laughed. "What is she talking about?""Did she tell us to leave?""Miss, we'll listen to you. We're leaving, but we want you to come with us!"As they were talking, two of the men burst into laughter and grabbed Kelly by the arms, one on each side, easily lifting her up.Chelsea suddenly came to her senses and exclaimed, "Kelly! What are you doing? Let her go!"She tried to intervene, but someone kicked her away.Kelly was panicking. She struggled fiercely and commanded once more, "Didn't you hear me? I’m the one who called you. Let me go!"The men didn't believe her and just thought she was being cunning.One of them sneered and said, "Don't bother trying to deceive us. Do you think we are that easy to fool? If we fall for your trick, how are we supposed to get by?""Let's go."Two people held Kelly by the arms, whil
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
