Billionire 156 Chapter 156 A Gift from Grandpa +15 BONUS Kelly listened to the noises around her and found herself clenching her fists. How could it be Rose? Why was she the one? Not too far away, Nixon watched Rose with a shocked expression on his face. He would have given anything for it not to be Rose at that moment.. However, Oliver seemed to be placing a lot of his hope on Rose.
"I guess I underestimated Rose." Chloe never thought that Oliver would end up asking Rose to be his granddaughter. This was such a huge opportunity, and Rose just walked right into it.
If only Nixon had managed to control Rose back then, the Lane family and the Young family would have been in- laws by now! Everyone's eyes were on Rose. Rose, on the other hand, didn't know what to do or how to react. Suddenly, Oliver sighed heavily and a single tear slid down his cheek.
Rose suddenly recalled how much Oliver missed his daughter when they were at the park. Eventually, her resolve crumbled.
"Alright," she said.
Almost immediately, the light returned to Oliver's eyes day onwards wo "That's good, that's good. Here, Rosie, let's make a toast to this. From part of the/ Young family now." Oliver then looked at Miles and gave him a look. The elegant smile on Miles' face was long gone. However, under Oliver's watchful eyes, he still took a step forward and handed a glass of juice to Rose Just as Rose was about to accept the glass of juice, Miles suddenly called out her name.
"Rose..." Rose met his eyes and looked at him in confusion. She didn't know why, but she thought she detected a hurt look in his eyes. She didn't think much of it, however, and raised her glass at Oliver. She took a step forward and made a toast to him. Oliver clinked his glass with Rose's and finished everything in it. Then, he took out a black card and placed it in Rose's hand.
He said, "Here you go, Rosie. This is a little gift fromto you. Take good care of it." Rose was speechless. The black card felt incredibly heavy in her hands.
"Um..." Everyone was astonished when they saw the black card. As expected-only the biggest families would call a black card a "little gift".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRose held the card in her hands. Her mind had gone blank. It wasn't until she suddenly caught sight of a familiar face standing away from the crowd that she snapped back to reality. Jonathan Finch? What was he doing here? And why did it look like he was looking at her? Nonetheless, Rose followed his line of sight and noticed Anastasia standing right next to her. It dawned on her instantly.
+IS BONUS Anastasia was his new sugar mommy, wasn't she? He must be here because Anastasia wanted him to attend. No wonder he kept telling her to avoid this place. Was he worried that things would get awkward if they happened to meet? The more Rose thought about it, the heavier her heart felt.
"Congrats, Rose," Anastasia suddenly spoke up next to her.
Anastasia collected her emotions and extended her hand toward Rose with a face full of smiles. Rose smiled back at her and shook her hand.
"Thank you," she answered.
"You're the star of the event tonight. Go ahead and have your fun. I've got smatters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave. We're going to be a family now, so there's plenty of tahead for us to get to know each other," she relied cheekily.
After saying that, she looked at Miles and said, "Miles, take good care of our new little sister, Right after turning around, the smile on Anastasia's face vanished.
After Anastasia left, Rose subconsciously started looking for Jonathan. She thought she'd just seen him standing away from the crowd. However, she couldn't find him anywhere anymore.
She let out a bitter smile when she thought of something. Of course, his new sugar mommy had just left. Why would he stick around anyway? "I've got smatters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave." Anastasia's words kept resurfacing in Rose's mind. It felt like something was stabbing her in the heart.
"She had 'smatters' to attend to, huh? I wonder what it is, so late at night," Rose mumbled.
She couldn't stop thinking about Anastasia rolling in the sheets with her star escort husband after that.
It affected her so much that she lost all interest in mingling with other people coming up to congratulate her. She just wanted to go home.
"Miles, I wanna go home," Rose said in a rather tipsy manner, despite not having had much to drink.
Oliver had retired to bed a while ago. Meanwhile, Miles had been feeling glum, so he had been drowning his sorrows in alcohol as well.
However, he didn't want his driver to send her back like this. He was worried.
"Letsend you home." Miles arranged for a car and climbed into the backseat with Rose. As soon as Rose left, Kelly suddenly ran out after them. She noticed the both of them getting into the car together. Her eyes turned hard. "Kelly...
She heard Nixon calling her nfrom the back. Kelly softened her gaze and put a cute, innocent smile on her face.
"Nixon, that was Rose! Did you see her? It was Rose all along!" +15 BONUS
Kelly sounded excited about it. It was like she genuinely felt happy for Rose. When she caught sight of e Nixon's glinting eyes, however, Kelly's excitement turned into worry. The smile on her face disappeared. you're not regretting it now, are you?" Nixon frowned. Did he regret it? Maybe, just a little.
He regretted not being more discreet about his affair with Kelly in the past. If only Rose hadn't found out about Kelly, he would have already married Rose by now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd if Rose was his wife, then, Celeste Jewels would belong to him. He would even get to be Oliver's grandson-in- law.
"Kelly, Grandma wantsto get back together with Rose," Nixon said, remembering what Chloe told him just now. He felt guilty toward Kelly.
Kelly's hands clenched into fists. A split second later, there was a sad look in her eyes as she smiled bitterly at him.
"I understand where Mrs. Lane Senior is coming from, I had never been able to measure up to my sister anyway.
"Now that she's officially part of the Young family, herworth would have raised even more." The hurt was evident in Kelly's eyes. Nixon immediately felt bad for her.
He grabbed her hands and said, "Don't worry. You're still the one I love the most. It's just that I can't exactly go against my granma's wishes either." "I know that," Kelly answered.
Nixon wasn't part of her plan anymore anyway, but it would still hurt if he were to get back with Rose again. She didn't think it was fair.
On the other hand, maybe Nixon getting back with Rose would prove advantageous for her after all. Kelly thought about Jonathan and started to smirk, but it quickly disappeared from her face. Instead, she looked at Nixon and said in a kind and understanding manner, "Nixon, no matter what you do, I'll always support you. If you want to get back together with my sister, I can help you." For a moment, Nixon felt even worse about the whole situation. He was sorry for Kelly.
He held her hands and said, "Kelly, I om swear to the moon that I've never loved Rose, Ljust want her fame, position, and identity. Once I'm done with her, I will return to you and treat you well for the rest of my life." At the stime, Miles had just sent Rose home. Back then, he never said a single word. But when Rose was about to leave the car, he grabbed her wrist and called out her name.
