Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Fallen From Grace

Jonathan's heart missed a beat.

He was worried that his identity would be exposed.

But Rose assumed the Mr. Finch she wanted to avoid was behind them. Cursing under her breath, she grabbed Jonathan's hand and walked faster.

She even chanted as she walked, "Don't let him see me... Don't let him see me

The hotel manager who had been left behind had just finished giving his long. apology. When he looked up, there was no one in front of him. He was bewildered.

Dragging Jonathan with her, Rose walked a fair distance before she felt safe. Finally, she stopped walking.

Rose glanced at the row of luxury cars. She exhaled in relief when she did not see the man she feared.

"Whew! Good thing he didn't see us. Listen, if you ever hear the words 'Mr. Finch,' you'd better run away at once, understand?"

"Huh? Oh. Okay." Jonathan frowned as he stared at Rose with a thoughtful expression.

Meanwhile, Finley had caught up to them. He was about to ask Jonathan if he should drive the car over, but Jonathan spoke up first. "Finley, hail a cab."

Finley did not speak. He thought he was hearing things. Jonathan's car was less than 50 yards from here, so why would he hail a cab?

Jonathan eyed Finley with a sharp gaze. "Go on. Hail a cab!"

"Huh? Oh."

Somewhat comprehending the situation, Finley immediately flagged down a cab.

When they were inside the cab, Rose received a message. It was from Jamie. He was asking her to go to the company.

The car pulled up in front of Century Tower. Jonathan watched as Rose.

entered the building. Ten minutes later, a row of luxury cars stopped in front of the cab.

Jonathan's expression was dark. After a moment of silence, he pointed at a random car on the road.

"Switch to a car of that brand," he instructed Finley.

Jonathan sent Rose an address. Then, he got into the Maybach in front of ethem feeling rather satisfied.

Meanwhile, Rose had just arrived at Celeste Jewels. She was taken aback when she saw the address she received from her star escort husband.

"Zenwood Gardens?" It was a newly developed luxury residential area that had been one of Gibson Holdings' projects. The properties there were quite expensive. Why did her star escort husband send this address to her?

Before Rose could ask him about it, the company's receptionist came up to her with a look of annoyance.

"Mr. Shaffer is waiting for you in his office. Please hurry up."

The receptionist knew that Rose was the eldest daughter of the family who owned Celeste Jewels. Even so, her attitude was still terrible.

She heard from Maya that Rose was not favored in the family. Jamie had even. chased her out of the house.

Rose had fallen from grace.

Ignoring the receptionist, Rose went into the office.

Sitting at his office desk, Jamie got straight to the point. "I heard that you got married. Hah! You're in such a hurry to take over the company!"

Rose saw the legal letter on the desk in front of him.

Louie was quite efficient!

Thinking about her mother's accident, Rose met Jamie's gaze. "This is part of Mom's will. I'm just fulfilling her wishes."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Hah. You're too young, Rose. You've never gotten involved in the jewelry industry, so you know nothing about it. If you take over the company, you'll only be destroying it!" Jamie was smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold.

Rose felt that it was a little ironic. After all, who was the one who kept refusing to let her be involved in the company? It was him!

Kelly, and even Maya and her family, held positions in the company. But Rose, the sole heir to the company, was left out.

"Don't worry. Even if I go down in flames, I won't let Celeste Jewels go to ruin." Rose's tone was firm.

Jamie seemed to have foreseen that she would not give in. He tossed a registration form at her.

"This is the registration form for the nationwide jewelry competition. If you can place first in this competition, I won't stop you. I'll allow you to fulfill your mother's wishes." He was making things hard for her on purpose.

There were countless excellent jewelry designers in Aquastead alone. Moreover, this jewelry competition was open to the whole nation. The talents from Regalia would be taking part as well. Even so, Rose had no choice but to accept. "Alright. It's a deal."

Taking the registration form with her, Rose turned around and left. She had just arrived at the door when Jamie's voice rang out behind her.

"Since you're married, you should let us meet your husband sometime. I've organized a family dinner at Gourmet Haven at 7:00 pm tonight. Be sure to bring him with you." "Okay," Rose replied coldly.

It was not a family banquet at all. It was more akin to a death trap.

She would attend it, but she had no intention of bringing her husband along. Rose would handle the situation by herself. She would not let an innocent person suffer and be humiliated. She made sure to arrive promptly at 7:00 pm.

As soon as she entered Gourmet Haven, a tall man caught sight of her. He recognized her right away.
