Chapter 380 A Mob "I know what you're planning!" Eleanor glared at Yosef, her demeanor cold.
She saw through his schemes easily. If Ms. Maize married Jonathan, it would increase Yosef's chances of regaining his power at Finch Group.
The startled Yosef played dumb. "Mom-" "Stop it. The Finch Group now belongs to Jon, and you should stop plotting. Your only duty now is to stick to your position and assist Jon instead of poking into his private business," lectured Eleanor. She would not let anyone harm the family.
Although Yosef's capability was far from Jonathan's, he remained ambitious. That was something Eleanor understood. She glanced at his son and was ready to head upstairs.
Yosef was reluctant to give up. His goal today was to be the matchmaker between the Finches and Maizes. Even Eleanor sounded extremely pleased earlier! He couldn't accept the sudden twist... When Eleanor arrived at the staircase, Yosef quickly added, "Mom, regarding the marriage alliance with the Maizes..." She halted her steps. Upon contemplation, she asked, "I heard that Ms. Maize signed her agency contract with Rise Entertainment. Is that true?" Rise Entertainment was backed by Finch Group.
"Indeed." "If so, tell the executive manager of Rise Entertainment to have a handover with Jon. In the future, he can manage Rise Entertainment." Yosef finally understood Eleanor's intentions. Not only did she not object to the marriage alliance, but she even created more opportunities for Jonathan and the Maizes to engage.
"Alright. I got it. I'll make the arrangement now." Yosef was thrilled to achieve his goal. He knew that with Eleanor's approval of this marriage, she would find a way to convince Jonathan.

When Oliver's cremains arrived at the airport in Regalia, the media caught wind of it. Undoubtedly, the news of his passing was massive.
As one of the three greatest families of Regalia, his death would naturally attract much attention. Swere curious about the Youngs' inheritance dispute after his passing, while sexpressed their appreciation for all his charity acts.
When Rose, Miles, and the family members headed to Young Estate, they received information that the media had swarmed the entrance. Since they could not stop the press from doing their job, Miles instructed the security to maintain order once they arrived.
At last, a black luxury car halted outside Young Estate. Cameras were seen flashing before anyone had even stepped out of the vehicle.
Faced with a crowd, Rose tightened her grip on the urn. Miles sensed something amiss from her scrunched brows.
"Don't be scared. I've instructed them to keep the crowd under control. They won't hurt you," he said softly.
Rose smirked. She wasn't scared to be hurt. Instead, she feared the crowd would knock over Oliver's ashes again...
She glanced at the urn, and before she alighted from the car, she mentally prepared herself with one task-to bring Oliver back hsafely.
The moment Rose stepped out of the car, there was a momentary pause in the flashing lights. Among the crowd were veteran journalists who had captured many figures, including a few influential Youngs. Yet the woman was a stranger to them.
After a brief pause, confusion turned into shock when they realized she was holding the urn. According to custom, only a significant member could carry the urn. So who on earth was this young lady? Their journalism instincts quickly deduced that this person was extraordinary. Whoever discovered her identity first was bound to have a scoop.
Instantly, the crowd shoved their cameras and microphones toward her. Despite the heavy security, the assemblage turned chaotic.
"What's your relationship with Mr. Young Senior? Why are you the one holding the urn?" "Were you part of the inheritance dispute after Mr. Young Senior's passing? Did you receive the Youngs' permission to do this? Or are you trying to make a statement with this?" One question cafter another like an endless wave.
Wearing her sunglasses, Rose did not spare anyone a glance or answer any questions. She was shielded by Miles as they made their way toward the Young Estate's main door. As soon as they entered, they could leave the flashing lights behind.
However, the crowd was not ready to let her go. Their curiosity regarding her identity heightened when they saw how intensely Miles protected Rose. At that moment, the security guards separated the Youngs from the journalists.
Seeing that Rose was about to enter the house, a journalist suddenly broke through the security's defenses and strode toward her, blocking her way.

The journalist positioned the mic before her. "Hello, miss. What's your relationship with l relatou for the first twith Mix Young Senior? We're only after his passing. Are you here to claim your share of the inheritance?" At that sight, the other journalists followed suit and arrived with their microphones before Rose. She couldn't help but hold the urn tighter.
She wasn't afraid of these aggressive journalists, but she feared her answers to their questions would affect Oliver and the Young family.
After a brief thought, Rose piped up. She wanted to announce that she would not be involved with the inheritance controversy.
Before she could say so, a woman behind her interrupted, "Her name's Rose Shaffer, Grandpa's adopted granddaughter. She's part of the Young family, so naturally, she can claim a share of the inheritance!" It was Anastasia. The journalists looked in her direction and realized it too. Since Oliver's cremation, regardless of any important tasks like holding the urn or leading the funeral, Miles had allowed Rose to be the face of the family.
Anastasia knew she could not challenge Miles while everyone was tuned in to their family's matters like today. Still, she was fairly reluctant and upset that Rose had taken the spotlight. Furthermore, Anastasia felt greatly threatened regarding the inheritance. She couldn't just watch Rose take her share like that! Thus, the crowd of media had becher weapon. After digesting Anastasia's statement, the reporters questioned, "Can you confirm that Mr. Young Senior has another adopted granddaughter, Ms. Young?" "Yes. That's the truth. Grandpa met Rose in Aquastead and instantly felt a connection. It's just that our family remained lowkey, with only a few in Aquastead knowing about this. That's why this is news to Regalia." Anastasia spoke as if she were a kind sister who approved of Oliver's latest granddaughter. While everyone was curious about Rose's background, Anastasia continued...
