Rose arrived at a suburban cemetery. She stared at her mother's tombstone and murmured, "Mom, I've come to see you."Looking at her mother's photo on the tombstone, she indeed had eyes very similar to hers. Her mother was very beautiful. However, during the car accident all those years ago, her face was so disfigured that even the best mortuary makeup artist couldn't restore her original appearance.She had cried and called out, trying to wake her mother. However, no matter how hard she cried, her mother's eyes remained tightly closed. Now, it seemed that Celeste Jewels was going to meet the same fate as her mother."If I had discovered Jamie's hidden agenda earlier, things wouldn't be like this now ..."There were still many things at the company that she hadn't had the chance to sort out. However, from Jamie's greedy extortion scheme, she knew that resolving the mess at Celeste Jewels wouldn't be easy. She refused to give in."Mom, no matter what, I will save Celeste Jew
"Yes, he's staying at a friend's house. The property is under the name of Mr. Gibson. I wonder whether Ms. Shaffer or Mr. Finch have such a close relationship with Mr. Gibson."The security guard suddenly realized that he might have disclosed too much information about the residents. He immediately refrained from saying anything further.Kelly stood in place, feeling something was amiss. Given Jonathan's status, acquiring a property in Aquastead should have been effortless. Why was he borrowing Zac's house?She was eager to find answers. Just then, she received a message from Maya, which included a video and a voice message. She opened the voice message."Kelly, why haven't you come yet? Today's main event is you; to celebrate Rose's unlucky day, I plan to drink a lot tonight!"Ever since Maya found out that Jamie had left Celeste Jewels an empty shell for Rose, she couldn't have been happier. She wished for Celeste Jewels to go bankrupt quickly so that she could step on Rose.Ho
"You're married? Damn! With the little beauty? How's that even possible?"Zac exclaimed in succession. It seemed the news he'd just heard was too shocking. He even walked back and forth several times, stomping his feet a few times to display his amazement.After the initial shock, he seemed to think of something as he asked, "Okay, you're married. But why would there be a marriage agreement?"Why not? Jonathan couldn't say that he had received a substantial sum of money from Rose before they got married.As Mr. Finch, if he were to be found out selling himself for money, he wouldn't feel much more embarrassed.He remained silent for a while, and Zac had already concocted an extravagant drama in his mind. "Are you worried that she's only interested in your identity as Mr. Finch, your money, and your status? That's why you're guarding her?"Jonathan furrowed his brow as he refused to explain."Or could it be that she's pregnant, and you think that she isn't good enough for your
Rose didn't dwell on it. When she arrived at the company, she was surprised to find that the office was now fully occupied with people. Everyone appeared to be handling their tasks efficiently.She thought she might be having a hallucination. Just a few days ago, there were only five people in the entire company, including herself. Despite putting out recruitment notices, no one had applied for the positions. Now, it was a completely different situation."Good morning, Ms. Shaffer."The lovely receptionist at the front desk greeted her with a smile. Rose checked the company's sign once again to confirm that it was truly her company.Then, she responded with a smile, "Good morning."As she walked toward her office, everyone she met greeted her with smiles and warm greetings.When she entered her office, she immediately summoned William to inquire, "What's going on here?"William was just as baffled as he replied, "I don't know how this happened, but this morning, a large number
After hanging up the phone, Miles began to anticipate his meeting with Rose's husband tonight. He knew Jonathan too well. He was used to making independent decisions. If he really put his heart into pursuing Rose, even though she was already married, it wouldn't be an obstacle to him. He would spare no effort to make anything that annoyed him disappear. However, even so, Rose's husband could pose some challenges for him. If he could persuade him to let Jonathan give up, that would be even better. Miles chuckled as he contemplated this. "Prepare a bouquet of roses and get a pair of the limited edition earrings from the recent Young House of Jewels collection. I'll be needing them tonight," he instructed his assistant.On the other hand,Rose immediately felt regret after hanging up the phone. Inviting Miles to their home might not sit well with her star escort husband.After some contemplation, she decided to make a test call. She dialed the number, but it indicated that the pe
In preparation for entertaining Miles that evening, Rose returned to Zenwood Gardens early to prepare dinner. As soon as she entered, she was greeted by a strong aroma of food. The dining table was filled with dishes that she loved, both visually appealing and delicious."This ..."She began to wonder if she had walked into the wrong house. Before she could make her exit to confirm, her star escort husband emerged from the kitchen."You're back early today. Just in time for the last dish. Wash your hands, and we can have dinner," Jonathan said while carrying a plate of salad. He was wearing an apron, resembling a family cook. His handsome face was undeniably charming even in this attire, which added a touch of authenticity to his presence.Rose was briefly stunned. She scanned the table with amazement and asked, "Did you make this?""Why don't you taste it and see if it suits your palate?" It wasn't a problem for her to think he had made the dishes."Wow … I didn't expect
As Rose changed her clothes and stepped out, she was startled by the somber expression on her star escort husband's face. "What's wrong?"He was fine just moments ago. Was it her imagination, or did she detect a hint of jealousy in his tone? Jonathan fixed his gaze on her and asked, "Who is the person you want to invite?""Oh, I forgot to mention. It's Mr. Young from the Youngs in Regalia. I'll introduce you two later; he's also eager to meet you." Jonathan's face seemed to darken even further. The additional group of people who applied for jobs at Celeste Jewels was probably Miles's doing. He had clearly warned him to keep his distance from her.He stared at Rose in silence for a moment before he suddenly smiled, "Since he helped you so much, I should express my gratitude to him as well."Rose was somewhat puzzled. However, she didn't dwell on it and checked the time; it had been almost ten minutes since Miles said he would arrive. She adjusted the dishes on the table, not
"Ms. Shaffer, I have some sudden matters to attend to today and can't make it."Miles glanced at the several cars around him, his heart filled with frustration. After saying this, he promptly hung up the phone. Rose was a bit bewildered. What could have happened to him?On the side, Jonathan had already headed to the entrance, ready to change his shoes and leave. He could tell from Rose's expression that Miles wouldn't be coming.However, he still had to put on a facade."Let's go!" he urged.Rose lowered her eyes and said, "No need to go; Mr. Young said he has some sudden matters and can't make it.""Can't make it? Well ... that's a shame. I was looking forward to meeting him," Jonathan sighed in disappointment.He looked at the table full of dishes and asked, "How about we eat first?""Sure," Rose reluctantly agreed.She was indeed feeling a bit hungry. The dishes on the table were as delicious as those prepared by a top chef.When she thought about the pitiful-looking eggs
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
