Chapter 399 Deliberately Troubling Rose Yara stood by Rose's seat with her arms crossed and her eyebrows raised provocatively even more pronounced than before. "Let's switch here. This spot is better." If Rose couldn't see Yara's intentions now, she was truly naive. In fact, Rose had sensed her ill intentions from the first word Yara spoke. However, she didn't want to stir up trouble. Giving way once was enough, but it didn't mean Rose would tolerate being bullied. This time, Rose decided not to yield.
She looked up and met Yara's gaze squarely. "Ms. Maize may not be eyeing the seat I'm in, but something else." Her hostility wasn't baseless. And the reason... Rose vividly remembered Yara as the woman leaning on Jonathan outside the Young Estate. Indeed, it was... trouble.
Jonathan's face alone was enough to catch the attention of the woman. Moreover, now that he also held the position of the Finch Group's ruler, there would likely be more flatterers around him.
Rose didn't like entanglements, nor did she want to get herself involved in these messy affairs. She didn't like either being seen as a rival or wasting her energy unnecessarily. So...
Rose smirked slightly. She could see Yara's discomfort at being read so accurately.
Before Yara could respond, Rose firmly asserted her position. She said, "Ms. Maize, go find someone who can give you whatever you want. As for me... my his in Aquastead, and I'll cand go as I please. It's none of your concern." Yara's expression stiffened. "You... you really intend to go back to Aquastead?" She clearly doubted it. Over these few days, she had someone investigate and found out that the woman she saw outside the Young Estate was indeed Rose.
Rose was acknowledged as Oliver's adopted granddaughter. Even with the Young family's connections, as long as she was not the true heiress of the Young family, she couldn't compare to Yara. Yara was a true heiress of the Maize family. But considering that day outside the Young Estate, it seemed that Jonathan did show sinterest in her. Yara believed Julia's revelation.
Today, she happened to encounter Rose, so she naturally wanted to teach her a lesson. But unexpectedly... Rose saw through her intentions and straightforwardly mentioned leaving Regalia.
Yara stared at Rose. She tried to discern the truth behind her words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why would I lie?" Rose shrugged nonchalantly.
"Are you willing?" Yara persisted. She was still skeptical.
Rose raised an eyebrow. She was confused by Yara's words. "Willing for what?" Yara tilted her chin defiantly. "Of course, about the Young family and... him!" Even if Rose was willing to let go of the Young family's wealth, she wouldn't believe she could resist the allure of associating with the Finch family.
Rose understood her implication. The Young family's affairs had never concerned her.
The only thing she cared about was Oliver, whose funeral had already ended. There was nothing else she was unwilling to part with. As for Jonathan...
The image of Jonathan crossed her mind. There was a hint of something unfamiliar stirring in her heart. But in an instant, she deliberately pushed that feeling away.
She and Jonathan were never meant to be in the scircle. Hence, everything should naturally return to its normal state.
"Rose." A familiar voice rang out.
Rose turned toward the entrance and saw Yvonne. Their eyes met. At that moment, it seemed as if they only had each other.
Rose paid no further attention to Yara, who had cto cause trouble. There was nothing else that could be more important than being reunited with Yvonne after such a long time. Rose got up from her seat and rushed over. They grabbed each other's hands. They embraced several times before pulling back to gaze at each other. In her excitement, Yvonne couldn't hide her concern. "You've lost weight," Yvonne lamented.
In just a short time, Rose had noticeably slimmed down. She looked as if a gust of wind could blow her away at any moment.
"You look more beautiful." Rose was aware of Yvonne's dreams in dance.
Her global tour must have gone smoothly. It was evident from her confident demeanor. Clearly, she had been well-nourished spiritually. They embraced again in excitement. "So much has happened, and I wasn't there for you. Rose, I..." Yvonne reproached herself.
She didn't know exactly what had happened, but just from the vague images in the news, Yvonne could sense Rose's sadness. Clearly, Oliver meant a lot to Rose. "Yvonne..." In Yvonne's presence, Rose didn't need to pretend to be strong.
It felt like something that had long been pent up in her heart had finally found an outlet. Just like when her mother passed away when she was young, Rose collapsed onto Yvonne's shoulder. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "Grandpa is gone. He's gone..." Yvonne gently patted her back and soothed her in a soft voice. "You still have me. I'm here for you." Yvonne understood that Rose needed to release the suppressed emotions in her heart.
Suddenly, Yvonne glanced around. At that moment, it seemed like every staff member from the film crew was staring at them.
The atmosphere was tense, especially the outspoken woman whose gaze held clear hostility. Yvonne didn't know what was going on, but she felt that this place... wasn't safe. "Let's get out of here," Yvonne declared. With that, she grabbed Rose's hand and hurried out of the cafe.
Rose let herself be led outside. She felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation. It was like returning to her student days. They held hands and ran toward their secret hideout.
On the roadside, Gabriel leaned against the car. He took a call and finally ended his conversation with Chloe. Due to the call, he hadn't noticed anything that had transpired in the cafe moments before. Seeing Rose holding hands with a young woman and running toward him, the эл and trust in Rose'seyes caught him off guard.
So, the person she cto meet was a woman. He had thought...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGabriel dispelled the slight sense of unease in his heart. He put on a welcoming smile as he prepared to act as a capable driver.
"Rose..." he began. He was ready to offer them a ride.
But the two holding hands simply dashed past him. Gabriel's smilen froze for a moment. Turning back, he watched as Rose and the young woman got into a car and drove off. Not far away a luxury car had just pulled up. As the car window rolled down, a gentle and handsface relaxed upon seeing Rose and a he car.
young woman getting into the The tense, worried expression on his face eased.
It turned out that Rose had met with a woman. He remembered thatm Even's 's sister, Yvonne, was in a dance troupe in Regalia. He didn't see her, but it had to be her. It was good to have Yvonne with her. Someone to keep Rose company. And him...
"Go to the Young Group," Miles instructed Elmer ahead. Then, he lowered his eyes to continue examining the documents in his hands.
He needed to swiftly handle matters in Young Group before announcing Rose's identity to everyone.
The Youngs' luxury car had only paused briefly. But unknown to them, the sharp-eyed individuals inside the cafe had recognized him. "That... is Mr. Miles..." "Oh, I remember now. The girl in a black outfit with the high ponytail just now... was the one... the one that Ms. Maize drove away..." X
