Chapter 348 This Is the Strongest Evidence Rose instantly raised her guard. The moment she asked the question, she could see the disdain in Nixon's eyes. Hatred radiated from his expression, and his lips morphed into a chilling smile. He replied, "I'm getting my revenge." Revenge? She frowned. While they held grudges against each other, it had started with him. Despite this, she didn't think she could reason with him. "How are you going to get your revenge? Kill me? Don't forget, if you kill me, you can't escape the legal consequences." Was she afraid of death? Of course, she was. But she also wagered that someone like him feared death more.
Surprisingly, he smiled after hearing her words. "Kill you? How would I dare?" He still had not forgotten what he had to endure from Jonathan previously.
His gaze deepened as he recalled those events. "Rose, you are something. When did you seduce Uncle Jonathan? Letguess..." He pretended to ponder. However, his memory flashed in his mind's eye like a movie.
He tried his best to think of how she got close to Jonathan, and all the answers seemed to point to that night. "That day at the Lane family's birthday banquet... You went to his room, didn't you?" That night, Jonathan had said there was a stray cat when he was standing by the window. That stray cat must've been Rose! "No, that's not it." There was something else he didn't understand. On that night, she showed him a marriage certificate. He had someone investigate who she was married to, but all he got was a result saying "Unspecified" in the spouse column.

He was curious. "How did you get close to Uncle Jonathan? You didn't know he was Mr. Finch at the beginning, did you?" He was only guessing. But after catching a glimpse of sadness in her eyes, he knew the answer.
"Ha! He did keep it from you! I knew it. The Finches aren't ordinary people. Uncle Jonathan wasn't easily attainable either. Why would he care about you? You're just a toy to him when he's bored in Aquastead. There's no way he was interested in you." He wouldn't let her know about Jonathan's concern for her. He wanted to mentally destroy her. Admittedly, his words felt like a knife had stabbed Rose's heart. But she only felt like that for a moment. She met his gaze, and her lips curled into a faint smile. "That's right. I'm just playing along. Nixon, we're adults. You don't think I would be devastated over this, would you?" Impossible. Mr. Finch could not be just a handsman to her. Her relaxed tone made him frown. This wasn't the reaction he expected. He wanted to see the hurt in her eyes from his words. He stared at her. Her soft chuckle made it seem like the sorrow that flashed in her eyes a moment ago was just his imagination. Suddenly, he laughed. "I didn't expect you to be so heartless. So, you don't care about him at all, right?" Care about Jonathan? There was no escape from the truth. She did care about him, and perhaps more than she should. But how could she show it in front of him? The small smirk that had started forming in the corner of her mouth becmore pronounced. "As you said, we are two different people from two different worlds. If he treatslike a plaything, why should I care about what he does?" "I know. Why don't we play a game, Rose?" His cunning smile made her uneasy.
Her expression immediately turned serious. "What are you planning?" He remained silent. He was calculating the time. If Jonathan had received the ring on time, he would probably be on his way here by now. Unfortunately, the way here was via the bridge that had been blown up by him.
Even if Jonathan knew she was in danger, he would be delayed despite his urgency. With a cold smile, he said, "By the way, I was afraid you'd be too lonely. So I brought someone to accompany you." Silently, he walked to the other side of the ship cabin and casually opened a door. Immediately, the silhouette of someone in a wheelchair appeared.
She recognized him immediately. "Grandfather!" Oliver seemed to hear her voice and turned his wheelchair around in a daze. When he saw her, he showed no awareness of his surroundings. He pushed the wheelchair toward her. "Rietta!" However, Nixon noticed Rose's concern in her eyes. He deliberately kicked the wheelchair, causing it to lose balance and speed forward.
"Grandfather!" Panic filled her expression as she struggled to free herself. Fortunately, the wheelchair was facing her direction.
She couldn't care less about herself. Watching the wheelchair coming toward her, all she could think about was stabilizing it to prevent Oliver from falling. The wheelchair collided with her. She grunted. Her entire body hurt, but he was the only thing she cared about at that moment.
"Grandfather?" Fortunately, her body stopped the wheelchair, preventing it from moving forward. She called out to him, but he was in a daze. He seemed to be frightened from the shock.
"Heh, Rose, you care about Mr. Young Senior. So unlike Kelly ...' Thinking about what Kelly made him do, Nixon's cold smile beceven more pronounced.

She hadn't expected to hear Kelly's nfrom him. He seemed to have more to say. Without waiting for her to ask, he took out a remote control. Then he pointed it toward the screen on the wall and turned it on.
He said ambiguously, "This is my gift to you. No need to thanktoo much!" After saying that, he left the ship cabin.
Her gaze fell on the screen. The screen had cto life. The image might not have been very clear, but it was just enough for her to see what was happening.
On the screen, she and Oliver were standing on a bridge. Just like in her dreams, she left the bridge not bhg after But he remained on the bridge and looked toward her. The screen seemed to freeze, with no movement showing for a long time. Then, another person appeared in the frame. That person quietly walked behind him, facing the wheelchair, and kicked it hard. That person was none other than Kelly! "Kelly!" It was her who caused Grandfather to fall, and it almost cost him his life! Even though he had survived, he had lost his memory as a result.
Rose remembered her suspicions about Kelly back then, but she was frustrated by the lack of evidence. This was all the evidence she needed. Kelly wished for her grandfather to die. But why? Rose thought long and hard. What went unnoticed was the slight change in Oliver's gaze as he stared at the screen.
