Semua Bab Honey, You're a Billionaire?: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Rose responded without even lifting an eyelid, "He has something to attend to. He won't be coming."Jamie's face immediately darkened. He had intentionally called the people on the spot to establish dominance over Rose's new husband. Now that he was not coming, his arrangement would be in vain."What could be more important than meeting a father-in-law? Call him now and ask him to come over," Jamie ordered.Rose seemed to ignore his command as she continued eating her meal.Suddenly, Maya chuckled as she said, "Could it be that my brother-in-law can't bear to show his face? Is this the reason Rose doesn't want him to come? Oh! He isn't some old geezer, is he? Does he know about the night you went to Nightfall Lounge for excitement? Let's say if my brother-in-law were an old geezer, you'd be better off marrying that handsome guy at Nightfall Lounge that night!" Rose had just taken a bite of lobster when her movements suddenly froze.She did marry the guy from Nightfall Lounge. Ho

The words "my husband" sounded particularly sweet coming from her mouth. Jonathan was momentarily stunned."I have nothing left … I've been cast out of my family, and I've given you all the money. You're the only one I have."Rose seemed genuinely aggrieved. Jonathan recalled what had happened at Gourmet Haven. She had endured all the humiliation and bullying, but she had stood up for him in the end.He retrieved the idea of pushing her away as he said, "If you want to get back at them, I can help you."He rarely lent his hand to others. Nevertheless, in light of her defense of him, he could make an exception.After a while, the person in his arms still didn't respond. He furrowed his brows as he looked down, only to find that she had fallen asleep.Her face was against his chest, and there was drool at the corner of her mouth."So filthy!"Jonathan was full of disgust. However, he still picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. Once inside, he regretted his decision.T

Inside Finch Building, the heads were all on edge after the impromptu video conference held last night. They were expecting bloodshed to hit the company today.However, Jonathan arrived with an unusually smiley face.Everyone was left bewildered, including Finley. Since he left work early yesterday, he wondered what had happened in his absence that made Jonathan so happy."Mr. Finch, this is a letter and documents we received this morning."Finley placed the items on the desk. He wanted to question him to clear up his confusion, but he dared not to. As Jonathan casually flipped through the documents, his gaze focused on an anonymous letter.He opened the envelope and saw a photo, which captured the scene in the hotel room yesterday morning. Initially, he wanted to investigate the source of this photo. However, he noticed that in the photo, Rose looked anxious on the bed—she was probably worrying about him.He raised his brows, and an inadvertent smile formed on his face.On th

Rose and the man were only in a contractual marriage that would end when the time was up—he had heard it all outside the private room just now. It meant he still had a chance.He did have a crush on Rose; it was since high school when she came to his house with Yvonne for the first time. However, she was too young at the time. He had been waiting for her to grow up.Little did he know that after he went abroad, she ended up being together with Nixon.When he saw those messages from Maya in the high school alumni chat room that day, he didn't believe that Rose would be involved with another man.He was sure something had happened. Hence, he left his work there and immediately came back. Even their encounter on the street that night wasn't a coincidence.He heaved a long sigh. Since Rose and the man were just having a contractual marriage, he would wait for them to end it.The next morning, Rose had just woken up when she received the message regarding the time and location of the

"Ms. Shaffer, I'm sorry. It's all my fault … No, it's all Maya's fault. I haven't done anything wrong. Please, I beg you, help me plead for mercy. I can't afford to lose my job at Finch Group, and my family's cooperation with Gibson Holdings is at stake!" Jackson pleaded.Upon hearing his words, Maya was left in a daze. She suddenly realized that he was not kneeling to propose but to beg for mercy. Moreover, he was pleading with Rose.She couldn't believe what she was witnessing and didn't trust her ears."Jackson, what are you saying?"She wondered what he meant by losing his job at Finch Group and the cooperation with Gibson Holdings.Jackson became even more frustrated upon hearing her voice as he said, "You're asking me? I offended Mr. Finch just because of you!"Then, he turned to beg Rose again."Ms. Shaffer, if you want to blame someone, please blame Maya. From now on, I have no relationship with her. Please talk to Mr. Gibson and Mr. Finch for me. I've heard that it was
