Semua Bab Honey, You're a Billionaire?: Bab 201 - Bab 210

Even now, Nixon clung to a sense of luck, but reality offered him no room for such illusions. With a cold scoff, Jonathan kept Nixon blindfolded. Even though Nixon couldn't see Jonathan's expression, the silence that followed the sneer intensified his fear. Suddenly, he remembered the county clerk's office system, where Rose's spouse information remained undisclosed. Who else but Jonathan could manipulate a system to hide such information?Realizing his grave mistake, Nixon began to plead."Uncle Jonathan, I was wrong. I shouldn't have harbored any thoughts towards Aunt Rose."Nixon changed his address to "Aunt Rose" in hope to emphasize the connection between the Lane family and the Finch family. However, Jonathan recalled the image from the camera and mercilessly pressed his foot onto Nixon's face."If you know you shouldn't harbor such thoughts, why do you continue to linger on her?"Jonathan's voice cut through the air like icy blades.Terrified, Nixon pleaded, "I won'

Rose shook off the thoughts in her mind.After applying medicine in the bathroom, she felt a sense of oppression in her heart. As she was about to leave the room for some fresh air, a tall figure came into view as she opened the door.Star escort husband?He was still in last night's clothes. His hair was disheveled probably due to not sleeping all night. His beard had grown as well. For a moment, Rose thought she might be seeing things. "Rose, you're awake. I applied medicine to your mouth last night. Let me take you to the hospital to get it treated."Jonathan spoke cautiously while looking at Rose with eager eyes, as if a dog waiting for its owner's response.Rose didn't want to speak because of the pain. Any movements in her mouth would trigger the pain. She gestured for Jonathan to step aside.He complied quickly and followed her around for the entire morning. At noon, Rose received a call from an unknown number.When she answered, a voice on the other end asked, "Rose, d

Rose's eyes remained fixed on Jonathan's face. She wouldn't want to miss any expression of her star escort ex-husband.The mention of Mr. Finch caused Jonathan to nervously hold his breath. At that moment, he contemplated confessing the truth if Rose correctly identified his identity.He even pondered ways to amend her negative impression of Mr. Finch but was taken aback by her unexpected question."Are you … Mr. Finch's … cousin?" she said with a frown, seemingly doubtful of her guess.She shook her head and mumbled, "No, that's impossible."Mr. Finch's cousin must have a high social standing as well. Her star escort ex-husband might look aristocratic, but he certainly could not rival the Finch Family.Jonathan found her confusion amusing. When she ceased asking him questions, he fell silent as well. However, she soon announced, "I'm going to the Finch Building later."The Finch Building? Jonathan nearly choked on his soup. "Why?""To meet with Jonathan Finch!" she declare

As Finley stared at the mountain of documents in front of him, he felt the urge to ram his head against the desk and end his life. All he could do now was hope that Jonathan would be merciful."Ms. Shaffer, truth be told, I only made it over there in time because of Mr. Finch and your husband … He was the one who told me to go over. He was the one who was most concerned about your safety …"Knowing that Jonathan was listening, Finley did his best to placate the former. Rose looked at Jonathan. She could not hide how taken aback she was when she heard Finley's explanation.Jonathan was in a pretty good mood.Seemingly demurring, he cleared his throat and said to Finley, "Since you're busy, we won't force you. You should go home and get some rest soon."Finley felt like he had been given a second chance at life. He nearly fell on his knees in gratitude.Once the call ended, the atmosphere became a little ambiguous. Jonathan had no qualms about looking straight at Rose, but the latt

Rose was struck dumb.Glaring at Jonathan, she declared, "You have to go!""Fine. I'll go if you agree. You have to agree to everything I said just now."Rose was speechless. What did he want her to agree to?All she cared about right now was not wasting any more time, lest the fever ended up damaging his brain. She could not spare any attention for what he said earlier.She simply thought he had said those things while feverish and was unlikely to remember what he said."Yes, fine. I agree. I'll do everything you say. Can we go to the hospital now?"Jonathan immediately became docile."Okay."Rose dragged him down the building and shoved him into his car before driving to the hospital.Once they arrived, someone recognized Jonathan. Before Rose even registered him as a patient, a bunch of doctors and nurses surged over and took Jonathan to the emergency room.Even as he was brought to a hospital room and hooked up to an IV drip, she was still a little dazed.When she went
