They had never seen this version of Jonathan before. Although they were aware of how differently he acted toward Rose from the other night, they never knew such an aloof and cold man could be this compassionate.Eleanor looked at Rose with an added hint of curiosity. Cyrus, on the other hand, relaxed his shocked expression and focused on Rose. As for Lizzie…Although she wore her usual, gracious smile, an unmistakable coldness flashed in her eyes. However, she wasn't looking at Rose, but rather Yara.Although she was crowned as a renowned international actress, it was obvious that she had the worst acting skills among everyone in the room. The way she looked at Rose revealed her utter jealousy. Had it not been for Jonathan's presence, she might've gone up and attacked Rose.Lizzie raised her brows seamlessly. She thought luring Rose into the manor would make her susceptible to Eleanor's challenges, but Jonathan's actions gathered more resentment toward Rose. It seemed her efforts

This was something neither Lizzie nor Bella wanted to see. Bella was the first to speak up. "Anna, go and find them."Anna immediately turned around and retraced her steps. "Mr. Finch? Ms. Shaffer?" she tentatively called out as she searched.When the sound reached Rose's ears from behind the floral wall, she froze. "Someone's coming!"At this moment, her body was pressed closely against Jonathan's. She instinctively tried to push him away, but his hand on her back held her tighter. The footsteps grew nearer outside the floral wall."Jonathan!" Rose's voice carried a trace of urgency.If anyone from the Finch family saw her so intimately intertwined with Jonathan, she figured that she would face more scrutiny and attacks from Yara, Anastasia, and the rest of the family tonight.The more nervous she got, the tighter Jonathan held her. With a mischievous tone, his voice came from atop her head as he said, "Call me something else."Rose was at a loss for words before she eventual

Everyone else at the dining table was gloating.Yara enjoyed the scene greatly. With so many fudgy brownies, how could Rose eat them all without getting sick? She was looking forward to enjoying Rose's imminent embarrassment!After eating too quickly, Rose choked a bit. She was handed a glass of water, and she took it without thinking. As she took a sip to swallow the brownie, a fork reached into the plate of brownies.Rose looked up to see Jonathan eating the brownies, gobbling one piece at a time as if afraid someone would take it from him. While she was in a daze, he had devoured an entire plate.The people at the table, who had been enjoying the show, suddenly had their expressions stiffened."Grandma Eleanor…" Yara couldn't help but speak, trying to get Eleanor to stop Jonathan.But before she could state her purpose, Jonathan looked over and said, "Ms. Maize, do you want some? The fudgy brownies are really good today. They're Grandma's favorite. It'd be a shame if you don't

Eleanor didn't expect Rose to say such things. Was Rose truly insightful, or did she see through the provocations and say those things on purpose?Either way, it was enough to make Eleanor take a second look at her. But nevertheless, there was one thing that couldn't be changed."But the background of Jon's wife is important to both Jon and the Finch family. Your information was sent to me from the moment you arrived in Regalia." Eleanor didn't hide it. If Rose was truly insightful, it would be better to be straightforward.Rose wasn't surprised, and Eleanor continued, "Your mother left you a jewelry company. Although it's fairly large-scale, it's far too insignificant compared to the Finch family in Regalia."These words were within Rose's expectations. She admitted that the Finch family had a prestigious background, but as for who was not worthy of whom…Rose raised an eyebrow. "So how much would you like to offer to make me sensibly stay away from Jonathan and the Finches?"

Bella's shout startled everyone in the manor. Lizzle and Anastasia snapped out of their shock, exchanged a glance, and quickly ran up the stairs.The scene before them was shocking. Yara was lying on the floor. She had mentally prepared for this and had acted out the scene countless times, so she knew how to fall just right to make it look serious without causing real harm, although there was still a faint pain in her abdomen.However, the urgent situation left her no time to care about that. Yara looked at Rose still standing on the stairs. A faint trace of smugness flashed in her eyes before she accused in a pitiful voice, "Ms. Shaffer, why… why did you push me?"Why did she push Yara? Rose snapped back to reality, taking in the scene before her.Every moment flashed through her mind. She was certain she hadn't pushed Yara, and Yara had fallen on her own. Yet, Yara was accusing her of having pushed her?Rose was momentarily dazed but quickly understood Yara's intentions. Soo
