Nixon was excited. Soon, he was brought to the backyard. In the darkness, Jonathan's face was incredibly grim. Nixon thought he had finally revealed Rose's true colors.He immediately added fuel to the fire as he said, "Uncle Jonathan, you have seen that Rose is that kind of woman. She's not worth even a single glance from you.""What kind of woman is she?" Jonathan's voice was low and chilly.Nixon quickly painted an even darker picture of Rose. "She was once my fiancée. To harm me, she got involved with a male escort and even married him. She approached Mr. Young and you just for money to support his husband."A male escort? Rose indeed treated him as if he were some kind of special occupation worker, throwing money at him. A faint smile involuntarily tugged at the corner of his mouth.However, Nixon didn't notice his change in expression. Thinking about the 500 million Rose had just received, he felt a surge of envy."Uncle Jonathan, don't let her deceive you. Those jewels a
She treated him as if he were an untamable force of nature to be avoided at all costs. However, when it came to her "husband," she could smile so radiantly.A trace of displeasure welled up within Jonathan's heart. "Hello?"Rose glanced at her phone. The call went through; however, why wasn't her star escort husband saying anything? Jonathan suddenly snapped out of his thoughts, his mood far from pleasant. "I'm coming to pick you up. Be ready in ten minutes. I'll meet you at the entrance."He hung up before Rose could respond. Rose wondered what had caused that explosive tone. Had she done something to upset him? Meanwhile, Miles had left with his matters in mind. At the same time, Evan saw Rose at the door. Outside the villa, Jonathan stood next to an ordinary sedan, with his back facing the direction of the villa. When Rose saw that figure, her heart inexplicably tightened. Was that Mr. Finch?When the man turned around, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon seei
Kelly cried pitifully, intentionally not disclosing the reason. After Jamie and Chelsea repeatedly inquired, she choked and said, "It seems that Mrs. Lane Senior doesn't like me. It's all because I'm not the eldest daughter and can't inherit Celeste Jewelry. Even if I marry Nixon, it won't help him."She was heartbroken as if she had suffered a great injustice in the Lane family. Chelsea, also in tears, embraced her and wept with her. "It's all my fault. You're your father's biological daughter, but for all these years, you've been treated as an outsider. If you marry and still have to endure such injustice, what can you do? Maybe you shouldn't marry at all ...""But ... I'm already engaged to Nixon. If we break off the engagement, the Shaffers's and Dad's reputation will be ruined."Kelly cried even harder. Jamie, with deep and determined eyes, remained silent. His daughter had suffered too much!Celeste Jewels had been left by Celeste, and Rose would inherit it as soon as she
Before the intern could say a word, Maya, wearing a triumphant expression, walked in and handed a resignation letter to Rose."Congratulations on successfully inheriting your mother's legacy, Rose. I came here today to personally resign, out of consideration for our years of friendship. By the way, you asked where everyone went, right? Just check your company email."Rose opened her email and saw a flood of resignation letters."All the key positions in the company have been vacated, leaving only these inexperienced interns. Rose, how long do you think Celeste Jewels can survive now? Hehehe … Do you think Uncle Jamie intended to give Celeste Jewels back to you?"A malicious grin crept over the corners of Maya's lips. Even if Rose inherited Celeste Jewels, what could she do with it alone? She left with a malicious laugh.Rose's office was left empty, and a few interns stared blankly at her. Almost everyone could sense her unpreparedness. The air in the room became stiflingly silent
in a five-person company, Rose immediately arranged for the release of a job recruitment notice. Meanwhile, across the street in the office building facing Century Tower, Jamie sat in his office.The vast ground floor office area was occupied by employees, all familiar faces from Celeste Jewels. Kelly gazed at the company's signboard, "Lavier Jewels", which stood out prominently.She was pleasantly surprised. It turned out that her father had been discreetly operating a jewelry company. Over the years, numerous resources acquired through Celeste Jewels had flowed primarily to their company, thanks to her father's manipulations. What could Rose do even if she inherited Celeste Jewels? It was an empty shell at this point.She wanted to bring Rose over right away to witness this, as she was sure her reaction would be priceless. However, on the surface, she continued to appear deeply concerned as she said, "Dad if Rose were to find out about this company ..."Before she could fin
The woman noticeably hesitated upon hearing this. "It's impossible for them not to be fake."Jamie had made it explicitly clear to her that the sets of jewelry he had given her were fake. He wouldn't deceive her.Rose observed her reaction and remarked, "Whether they are real or fake can easily be determined by an expert's assessment. Are you afraid to have them appraised?""Who's afraid? We'll have them appraised!"The woman gave her a confident look. It seemed she was wary of any tricks Rose might pull as she immediately had her bodyguards collect the jewelry along with the custom contract."To ensure fairness, why don't each of us invite an appraiser? We can meet at Aquastead Hotel in two days and have the jewelry appraised face to face," Rose suggested with a sly smile that made the woman inexplicably uneasy.Despite her lingering doubts, she couldn't see any potential tricks in this arrangement. "Alright."After agreeing, she took the jewelry and left. Still feeling une
Zac had just returned from a business trip and immediately invited both of them out for drinks. "Come on, let's drink ... Today, we won't leave until we're three sheets to the wind!"He tried to liven up the atmosphere. However, Jonathan remained stoic as he entered Nightfall Lounge. He exuded an air of resentment, drinking in silence without uttering a word.Two days had passed since he last visited Zenwood Gardens, and Rose hadn't shown any reaction. Frustrated, he took a swig of the strong alcohol, but it did little to alleviate his agitation.After observing him for a moment, a faint smile graced Miles's lips as he said, "I need to take a call."Then, he left the private room. Just as Rose thought Miles wouldn't answer the call, it rang. "Hello, Mr. Young ... I'm sorry to disturb you, but I need your help. I urgently require several jewelry materials. I'm facing a situation here, and after thinking it over, you're my only hope in the entire Aquastead."Rose and Miles had o
As he returned to Zenwood Gardens, the night had already fallen. However, Rose had not returned yet. Jonathan tried to call her, but her phone was already switched off. At this moment, Rose was completely engrossed in staring at her computer screen, meticulously replicating the designs of those sets of jewelry from memory. She was completely unaware that her phone had been switched off at some point. After completing the final design drawing and printing it, Sherlyn looked at the design sketches with incredulity."These are the design sketches for those sets of jewelry from earlier!" she exclaimed.The chaotic scene earlier had made it difficult for her to remember just a few prominent features of the jewelry. However, Rose surprisingly managed to memorize the entire appearance of the sets of jewelry in such a short time. Sherlyn's eyes were filled with admiration.Suddenly, Rose looked at her and asked, "Can you do the polishing and crafting?"She hesitated for a moment and
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
As soon as the call connected, Harriette started crying uncontrollably.On the other end of the line, the man remained silent. The expected concern didn't come immediately, causing Harriette to pause. Fortunately, Miles' voice soon came through. "Harriette, please don't cry. Did something happen? Are you hurt? Please don't cry…"Every word she said carried an intense sense of care, reflecting on Miles's concern that she was familiar with.Harriette finally felt relieved, though she was still crying. Hearing Miles on the other end of the phone sounding even more anxious helped calm her down a little. Between her sobs, she started blaming herself, saying, "Miles, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to meet that person, and I shouldn't have made Rose come with me. I, I…"It was followed by another bout of sobbing from Harriette."What's happened to Rose?" Miles asked.Harriette heard the person on the other end of the phone suddenly stop breathing for a moment.Even though R
And there was also Miles… He was currently on vacation abroad, which was a time meant for relaxation. If Rose were to die, hearing the news would likely affect his vacation, right?He would definitely rush back for this.It would be a time of sorrow and a time to take on the responsibilities of Young Group once again.He wouldn't know that Harriette played a part in Rose's death. In truth, Harriette only held resentment toward Rose, and even if she were with the Young family, she wouldn't harm Miles.However, when Rose reached this conclusion, she felt particularly uneasy.But she didn't have enough time to figure out why she felt uncomfortable. She thought about Elijah, Clover, Yvonne, Emily…The people she thought about flashed through her mind one by one.…Outside the warehouse, Harriette, in a state of panic, ran out. Once she was in a more populated area, she resumed her act.The doctors and nurses who left the warehouse earlier were no longer there.Harriette was surpr
When Harriette saw the look on Rose's face, she felt stirred up with even more excitement.She was astonished, shocked, and even confused—all these emotions were present except for fear.This made Harriette feel very dissatisfied. Why wasn't Rose afraid?She wanted to instill fear in Rose and make her scared. She even wanted to watch her tremble all over, begging for mercy and pleading for her life…How could she be okay as though nothing was happening at all?In the current situation, Carl has control over Rose. There was no chance Rose would be able to leave the psychiatric facility's warehouse today.So, Harriette decided to stop pretending.She faced Rose, whose eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions. With a gentle smile, she said, "I owe it all to you, Rose!"She passed on Carl's message to Rose, doubling the irony."Harriette, you…" If Rose didn't understand by now, she had to really be clueless.After Rose connected everything together, it became increasingly
That strange feeling in the air today hadn't faded since it began. Rose had the strange urge to find out where it came from. What would the result be?She ignored Henrietta's frantic cries. Her gaze slid past her and fell on Carl. She asked once more, "What do you intend to do?""What do I intend to do?" Carl sneered and continued, "The Finches sent me here to a psychiatric facility."He then chuckled. "Do I look insane to you?"Rose was speechless.Yes, very much so.Carl's heart was filled with genuine hatred. Being sent to the psychiatric facility was Ezra's doing. Ezra clearly wanted him to experience what his mother, Nancy, had suffered back then. During his time here, they injected him with drugs. He knew exactly what those drugs were doing to his body. It was the knowledge that filled him with terror. This was exactly what Ezra wanted. He even felt that he was mentally ill now.Hatred flared in his eyes. "No, I'm not sick. I don't have a mental illness! I don't have a m
