Rose was about to inquire when her star escort husband had already carried her into the elevator and out of the shopping center.

"Why are you with him?" Jonathan asked in a displeased tone as he placed her in the passenger seat.

Rose wondered who he was referring to.

She suddenly realized something and quickly replied, "I didn't have a suitable outfit for the National Jewelry Design Award celebration tonight. Since there was enough time, I came to do some shopping. Evan's driver is nice; he helped me carry the shopping bags ... Oh no! My shopping bags are still with him."

She suddenly remembered it. As she was about to get out of the car to retrieve them, Jonathan pressed his hand on her shoulder.

He said in a gentle and indulgent voice, "I'll go get them."

Then, he closed the car door and walked back into the shopping center. He was in a jubilant mood thinking that Ezra was just a driver in Rose's eyes.

However, he couldn't ignore Ezra's intentions for getting close to Rose.

    Rose's head buzzed as she looked at her slightly swollen lips in the mirror.She recalled the recent fierce kiss from her star escort husband and the way Finley and the "driver" had looked at her with ambiguous eyes afterward. Her lips were still swollen now; wouldn't it be even more obvious earlier? What on earth had she experienced a moment ago? She was humiliated when she thought about facing people later.She covered her red and hot face, wishing she could find a hole to hide in. Jonathan let out a low chuckle as he was in a great mood.When night fell, he dropped her off at the celebration venue and watched her as she got out of the car."Are you not coming with me?" Rose asked again before leaving.Jonathan gave a faint smile. At the celebration tonight, Evan would be there; Ezra and Miles wouldn't be absent either.During the National Jewelry Design Award finals, Miles had shown considerable interest in Rose. When the camera focused on him, his admiration was evident in

    "Ms. Shaffer ..."The person approaching was none other than Miles. He was dressed in a well-tailored black suit and walked gracefully towards her. "Are you leaving?" he asked.Rose felt caught off guard but quickly put on an elegant and composed smile as she replied, "No, I'm not leaving. I was just looking for Evan, but I think he's been delayed."Miles raised an eyebrow, showing that he saw through her excuse."That day, due to the urgent situation, your identity as Ms. Flora was exposed. You don't hold it against me, do you?"He stared at her with a burning gaze. Rose had come to the celebration to express her gratitude to him for his help that day."Why would I? I'm grateful to you. If it weren't for you and Evan, I might have been banned as the one who stole the artwork. You've done me a great favor."As her words ended, Miles chuckled."Then, how are you going to express your gratitude?"Rose was stunned for a moment.Just as she was pondering, Miles said, "I'm just

    Rose's gaze followed the leather shoes upwards and saw a black mask. The sparkling ripples of the pool were reflected on the mask, and she thought she had seen a ghost.She held her breath, pretending to be calm and hoping the "ghost" couldn't see her. In the next moment, the black mask enlarged in front of her; the "ghost" actually crouched down and reached out toward her. Jonathan's hand gripped her arm as he wanted to pull her out of the pool.Rose felt like she'd been jolted by electricity, and all her pretense of composure instantly crumbled. There was only one thought in her mind—to run.She forcefully turned around and kicked the pool wall with all her might, propelling herself several feet away. At the same time, it caused Jonathan to plunge into the water with a splash.He was drenched from head to toe. His expression darkened. Was he really that scary? He swam toward Rose and once again grabbed her arm. Instinctively, Rose kicked frantically, narrowly missing his sens

    After Rose left, the atmosphere in the backyard became quite eerie. Inside the pavilion, Jonathan had wrapped himself in a bathrobe. His face was dark as he dried his wet hair, seemingly pretending that Miles wasn't there."Long time no see. I never expected that we would meet again in such circumstances." Miles was the first to break the silence. Both of them were prominent figures in Regalia. After the incident that happened three years ago, they seemed to have developed an unspoken agreement, deliberately avoiding each other.Jonathan remained expressionless, offering no response to his reflections. Miles gave a faint smile and continued to stare at him, not wanting to miss any of his reactions. "You agreed to be a guest judge because of Rose, right?" he asked.This time, Jonathan's brows furrowed slightly."You changed the venue of the competition at the last minute because of her, didn't you?" Miles spoke with certainty."I remember the host of the competition said th

    "That's good."Miles expressed great satisfaction with this answer. Without even glancing at Jonathan, he strode out of the pavilion.As Rose's mind continued to echo Mr. Finch's confession, she suddenly noticed Miles approaching in her direction. Her heart skipped a beat.Fearful of being caught eavesdropping, she didn't even have time to put down the mask she was holding as she immediately left the backyard.She carefully avoided the crowd and quietly went upstairs to change out of her wet clothes. Her movements were subtle. Her actions were noticed by Mandy.Mandy took a glance at Evan, who was looking for Rose at the dooryard. She was not originally on the guest list for this celebration event. However, upon hearing that Evan would be attending tonight, she immediately left Kelly's engagement ceremony.She pretended to coincidentally meet Evan, using both soft and hard tactics to make him bring her along to this event. She even invoked both of their families to persuade him

    At Lane residence, Kelly had just endured the scrutiny and provocations from Mrs. Lane Senior. Her heart was filled with frustration. Her phone suddenly rang, and it showed that the caller was Mandy. The two of them rarely interacted as Mandy had always looked down on her. However, after some consideration, she answered the call."Kelly, I've got some good news for you. Your sister, Rose, was quite impressive tonight. She even managed to captivate Mr. Young. Congratulations to the two of you! You just got engaged to Nixon, and Rose might get engaged to Mr. Young soon."Mandy deliberately provoked her. In the past, at Nightfall Lounge, the plan to humiliate Rose was initiated by Maya. However, during Kelly's engagement ceremony today, Mandy realized that Maya was just a follower. The real target for Rose's humiliation was Kelly.As expected, Kelly couldn't hide her jealousy and resentment as she said, "Nixon and I truly love each other. Rose is already married. How could she ente

    Inside the room, after having changed into fresh attire, Rose became entranced by a photo hanging on the wall. In the photo, two men and a woman stood side by side with their students' day attire.However, their faces had been smudged with black paint. Was this young lady the "Anastasia" mentioned by Mr. Young? Who were the other two individuals? Could they be Mr. Finch and Mr. Young?She refrained from overthinking and swiftly dried her hair. Letting the hair casually fall behind her, she prepared to go out. As she opened the door, two pairs of eyes met hers. "Mr. Young … Evan ..." A bewildered expression flickered across her face. She had assumed that Miles would leave after bringing her here. She hadn't anticipated him waiting for her. What's more, she wondered when Evan arrived. The look in Miles's eyes held a mix of shock and bewilderment."Ana ..."He instinctively wanted to call out Anastasia's name. However, he suddenly realized something and immediately withdrew his

    Rose was so shocked that she blurted out. Though her voice was low, Evan and Miles still heard it."Cough …""Cough …"Both of them slightly hesitated before they covered their mouths and coughed, smiling lightly to help conceal her shock. At this moment, all Rose could see were the endless zeroes behind the five. While she was the heiress of Celeste Jewels, she hadn't received a single penny from her family after graduating. She had been financially tight ever since she paid for her star escort husband. Now, with an unexpected 500 million, she was on the brink of blurting it out in excitement.Miles observed her with an increasingly gentle gaze as he asked, "Ms. Shaffer, don't you want to say something?"His reminder brought her back to reality. She finally noticed that everyone was looking at her. She chuckled as she raised her phone and said, "Money ... a lot of it. I like it!"Her words left everyone speechless. After all, who wouldn't like that huge amount? In the back

    The plate of fried eggs in front of Rose looked… reasonably okay."Hurry, sit down." Clover was eager and couldn't wait to receive praise from Rose.He personally handed the fork to Rose and watched as she took a bite of the egg. "How is it? How is it?" he asked.He felt that he had already used up ten percent of the skills he learned.Who knew how many eggs he messed up during that hour in the kitchen? But this time, it was actually successful, and he could even earn Rose's praise… right?But as soon as Rose took a bite, she heard a crunching sound.The sound wasn't loud, but Clover was right next to Rose, so he heard it clearly.Even Elijah, who was nearby, vaguely heard it.The most unsettling thing that happened was when everything suddenly went quiet.Rose felt a rush of panic and instinctively stopped moving her mouth. She thought that she had bitten down on a small stone, but how could there be a stone?Rose thought about it—it had to be the eggshell.Eating eggshells

    "In three days, I wish you success, and wish myself success as well!" Lizzie declared.Kelly was dumbfounded. She understood Lizzie wishing her success, but wishing herself success?Kelly didn't really understand, but she still nodded in agreement, saying, "Here's to our success."Lizzie must have felt that she had definitely and flawlessly succeeded.Lizzie understood that there were things Kelly didn't know, so she didn't offer any explanations and had no intention of helping Kelly understand. It was her own matter, her own plan, her own future!…That night, Jonathan didn't come back.Rose was originally waiting for Jonathan when she received a call from Clover. He informed her that Jonathan had something important come up and couldn't make it, so she shouldn't wait for him.Before hanging up, he said mysteriously, "Rose, tomorrow, Uncle Elijah and I will come to see you, and when we do, I have a surprise for you."Surprise? What surprise?Rose smiled, feeling a hint of an

    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.

    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.
