Jonathan might have stepped into Rose's line of vision, but she still heard the other woman's voice loud and clear. She had already seen the woman clinging onto Jonathan's frame like a sloth earlier, and it was an image that she would not soon forget. A self-deprecating smile suddenly curved on Rose's lips as she buried her bitter thoughts and headed forward.Elated to see Rose coming his way, Jonathan broke into a jog to meet her in the middle. He extended an arm, ready to embrace her the moment they were close enough. He could already smell the scent of burning candles on her. The distance between them was growing smaller with each step they took.However, Rose suddenly sidestepped him and marched right past him. Jonathan gaped at the air before him speechlessly. An intense roaring filled his head, and he felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over him. He stood rooted in place. He wanted to move, but his legs felt like they had been weighed down by lead.Rose

Finley inched closer to Jonathan and whispered, "Mr. Finch, she's the woman who accosted you outside Young Estate. You wanted to make Mrs. Finch jealous, right? Well, Ms. Maize here has the figure and the looks to make Mrs. Finch supremely jealous."The suggestion was bold, and even if Finley didn't think Jonathan's plan to make Rose jealous was a good idea. Alas, he had no choice in the matter other than to play along with Jonathan's plans."Mr. Finch, I came by to thank you and the rest of Rise Entertainment for helping me pave my career in the local entertainment industry. I'm not very familiar with it, which is why I haven't signed with any agency before this. "Imagine how terrible it would be if this had continued," Yara said, pouting like a child. She knew men couldn't resist the masculine urge to protect her if she put on the damsel-in-distress act.However, Jonathan only frowned at her. "Maize… Did you say your last name was 'Maize'?"Many people had that last name, but h

Ezra leaned against the wall, looking amused as he crossed his arms. He and Yara had never met, but each knew who the other was courtesy of their profession. Ezra was the most handsome man in the entertainment industry with countless female fans. In the past, Yara would have found a way to stir up a potential romance with him for the sake of publicity.However, she had set her sights on Jonathan, who stood at the top of the social food chain and ruled the Finch family. She couldn't be bothered with lesser men like Ezra.She had caught the wicked amusement in Ezra's eyes and knew that he'd heard everything she said. But that didn't matter. She looked away from him, rolling her eyes as she did.Jonathan was somewhere on this floor. He did not like red, but she doubted even he could resist the allure of seeing a woman in white. She couldn't wait to see him, and in her eagerness, she made her way toward the office.She had taken only a few steps when she heard a lazy male voice drawl

Anastasia noticed Gabriel's gaze toward Rose and understood immediately. There was another protector around Rose.It was Rose again. Anastasia felt particularly uneasy at this moment. If Rose aimed to inherit a portion of the Young family's wealth, Gabriel and Miles would likely support her.The more Anastasia thought about it, the more she felt that this situation couldn't continue. She had to take action and drive Rose out of the Young family and Regalia.During various family gatherings, Rose never showed up. She came to Regalia only for Oliver. Now, with Oliver's funeral settled, she would leave as soon as possible. Thus, Rose found an opportunity to bid farewell to Miles."Miles, I think it's time for me to go back."At the Young Estate's dining room, everyone was having breakfast. However, Rose set down her cutlery first.Since Oliver passed away, a layer of melancholy had crept into Rose's demeanor. She appeared sorrowful, which evoked sympathy from Miles in particular. Mi

The man realized he had said the wrong thing and immediately stopped talking. Looking at Yara, he noticed her staring grimly outside the cafe. She seemed oblivious to his presence, which relieved him.Others around caught on after his reminder. They immediately recognized that the woman in black was indeed the mysterious woman from the Young family everyone had been curious about recently."What exactly is her connection to the Young family?""She's here to meet a friend, and Mr. Miles had to check on her. Even Mr. Gabriel was on guard outside.""Mr. Gabriel looks more like a bodyguard to her. Her status must be significant."The staff member of the film crew was extremely curious about Rose's identity. Yara felt particularly bitter inside."What's so significant about her? She's just Mr. Young Senior's adopted granddaughter from Aquastead. They don't even share any blood relation. She hasn't contributed anything to the Young family. She simply used some tricks to deceive Mr. You
