Chapter 462 Watch Him Get Taken Away Clover's brows remained furrowed. His concern shifted to confusion as he listened to Rose. He echoed her question, "Why are you in Regalia? How did you end up here?" Rose hesitated. Thinking of the recent events, her eyes filled with sadness. "Well, I cto Regalia because... Grandpa passed away." Clover paused, momentarily taken aback. He knew that Rose was Oliver's adopted granddaughter. When he had left Aquastead, he had been in a rush due to family issues, and he hadn't even had the chance to say goodbye to Rose.
He hadn't paid much attention to the changes in the Young family as both the Xanth family and Lerain Group had their business operations overseas.
Seeing the sorrow in Rose's eyes, Clover felt a pang of sympathy. He tightened his grip on her wrist, not wanting her to dwell on unhappy memories. To lighten the mood, he changed the subject.
"So, what brought you to this place?" As soon as he asked, he realized the redundancy of his question. Royal Garden was a prestigious villa district in Regalia, and with the Young family's wealth, it wasn't surprising if they owned property here. He thought she might be living here, but Rose's answer was different from what he expected.
"I'm here because..." Rose hesitated, her smile turning awkward as she recalled her actions. She thought carefully about how to phrase it, and finally said, "If I told you I chere to teach someone a lesson, would that sound too violent?" She couldn't help but remember the force she used on Jack earlier. Every action had been delivered with full strength. Now that Rose thought about it, the deed did seem a bit violent.
Clover was momentarily stunned by her answer. He did not expect that she was here to teach someone a lesson. Nevertheless, his tension and seriousness from before dissipated, and he smiled at Rose.
"Who's the unlucky person? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson too!" Rose knew Clover's background well. The Xanth family and the Finch family were comparable in terms of wealth, one being a top-tier presence overseas and the other domestically. Given Clover's personality, if he really were to deal with Jack, Jack might not be able to handle it.

However, she quickly dismissed the thought. While she and Clover were friends, they weren't particularly close, so she could never drag him into this mess.
"It was just a despicable person, but I've already handled it," Rose replied, not intending to involve Clover.
Just then, the sound of police sirens interrupted their conversation. They all turned toward the direction of the sound, and soon after, several police cars drove into the neighborhood, passing by them.
Clover gave Rose a strange look. "This... Could this have something to do with the person you were teaching a lesson?" Rose chuckled awkwardly and nodded but didn't elaborate. Her priority now was to get the woman out of there quickly.
However, before she could bid farewell to Clover and Emily, the woman spoke up, her voice filled with desperation. "Sir, please help us..." Emily had already helped the woman up from the ground. The woman observed the friendly interaction between Rose and the couple, particularly the man who appeared to care deeply for Rose. His luxurious attire and car were a testament to his affluence. To her, the man represented a beacon of hope.
Clover's brows furrowed. "Help you?" he asked, assuming the woman's use of "us" included Rose. Instantly, his demeanor becserious. "Rose, get in the car." He had a hunch that the person Rose had taught a lesson to was no ordinary individual, and he was determined to understand the situation clearly.
Knowing the roadside wasn't ideal for discussing the matter, Clover signaled Emily, who immediately understood and helped the woman into the car. Rose, however, was still outside the vehicle.
"Rose, get in the car. Mr. Xanth just bought a new villa here, and we're going to check out the renovations Emily said as she got out of the car and took Rose's arm. "If you don't come, I won't have enough nice things to say to him." 0 Rose hesitated for a moment but eventually got into the car. The luxury vehicle drove straight to a villa right next to Jack's residence. Although Emily mentioned checking the interior design, that their actual purpose.
"Let's start with the third floor," Emily announced as soon as they entered the villa, guiding the way with apparent determination. Clover glanced at her but remained silent.
The group took the elevator to the third floor and entered a study, where a luxurious telescope immediately caught their attention. Both Rose and Clover were momentarily stunned.
This was Clover's first tin this villa. The entire selection and furnishing process had been handled by Emily. "Since Mr. Xanth likes astronomy, I thought this spot with a good view would be perfect for stargazing in his leisure time," Emily explained, settling the woman on a couchet before walking over to the telescope. As she spoke, she adjusted the télescope, changing its direction from the sky.
Emily's meticulous and warm demeanor caught Rose by surprise. Even Clover's gaze seemed to show a hint of something different.
"Rose, ctry out the telescope," Emily called with a smile.
Rose approached and looked through the lens. However, instead of stars, what she saw was something entirely different.

Through the telescope, a villa cinto sharp focus-it was Jack's villa. Despite the considerable distance between the two properties, Emily had already adjusted the focus, making the scene crystal clear. Inside the villa, fully armed police officers were escorting numerous men wrapped in bath towels. These men appeared to be in an abnormal mental state.
Rose anxiously scanned the scene for Jack, feeling a twinge of concern. Given the influence of the Finch family in Regalia, she wondered if the police might hesitate to act decisively. She couldn't spot Jack for a long time, and her frustration becpalpable, a tension that even Clover and Emily noticed.
Finally, a group of people emerged carrying a stretcher. Although the person on the stretcher had a swollen face and was covered in injuries, Rose immediately recognized him.
"Jack Finch!" she exclaimed, feeling a mix of relief and satisfaction. She did not even realize she had called out his naloud.
Hearing the name, Clover quickly deduced that he was the "despicable person" Rose had mentioned earlier.
"Jack Finch?" he mused. Although he hadn't heard of this man before, Jack's surnimmediately caught his attention.
m Clover exchanged a glance with Emily. With their long-standing rapport, she instantly understood his unspoken request. Clover wanted to find out who this Jack was and what his background entailed.
