Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Still, telling Rose to beware of Harriette was slightly dramatic.

She chuckled. "You've only heard me talk about her a few times, and you already dislike her? She's nice. Plus, I don't interact with her much."

"Is she?" Yvonne pursed her lips. "I have a hunch... But yeah. She feels off to me. Anyway, according to my instinct, she's more than she seems!"

Suddenly, Rose recalled Clover's words from the other day but dismissed them. "Clo said the same thing and told me she's not as nice as she seems. I think you guys worry so much about me that you're overthinking this." Yet, Yvonne held onto a point. "See? Even Mr. Xanth says so. Now, I think you should trust our instincts."

Rose stayed silent, but Yvonne glared "fiercely" at her. "You must!"Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Pretending to be fazed, Rose nervously nodded and said, "Okay. I will."

It wasn't until Rose seemed to have taken in her words that Yvonne was satisfied. "That's better."

Rose might interact with Harriette during her trip to Aurora Crest the next day.

The following morning, Miles arrived outside Royal Garden to pick Rose up. Before she left, Yvonne reminded her again, "Remember my words from yesterday!"

"Yes, yes. I do. I remember every single word you said and dare not forget it!" Rose replied playfully.

Arriving outside Royal Garden, she saw Miles' car and noticed Harriette standing beside it, waving at her. "Rosie, over here..."

Without waiting for Rose to come over, Harriette enthusiastically approached her with a bright smile that almost rendered Rose in a daze. She resembled the breeze of the morning air. Why would Clover or anyone deem her as unkind? "Rosie, what's wrong? You look off." Harriette waved her hand in Rose's face.

She quickly snapped back to reality. "N-Nothing. It's just... I haven't seen you in days..."

"Oh? Did you miss me? If that happens again, remember to call me, and I'll be by your side at lightning speed." Harriette patted her chest.

Amused by her, Rose burst into a laugh. Miles watched the two inside the car and was pleased by the scene.

When they entered the car, Harriette seemingly hopped into the passenger seat out of habit, but Rose didn't mind such a detail. The three soon headed toward Aurora Crest.

In the meantime, a car similarly maneuvered toward Aurora Crest. Finley took the driver's seat, while Leonard sat beside him, passing a document to Jonathan behind him. "Sir, I've listed everything about Ms. Harriette Young on this. Please have a look."

Jonathan perused it. Her background and history filled a few pages, from the moment Oliver adopted her to when she returned to Regalia.

He scanned the document quickly and focused heavily on the period from when she disappeared and returned. On the surface, everything seemed ordinary.

"Sir, why are you investigating Ms. Young?" asked the curious Leonard.

Jonathan and Harriette were considered childhood sweethearts. Although Leonard and Finley were not posted around him then, they were aware of their past. Besides, Harriette looked the same in the pictures from then and now.

Jonathan stayed silent. Despite the information about "Harriette" seeming normal, he frowned deeply, knowing his suspicions remained intact.

"Continue investigating her. As soon as any unusual movement comes up, inform me." His gaze dimmed.

"Yes, sir." Leonard subsequently received a call. After answering it, his face shifted. "Sir, the hospital called... They said Mr. Turner has been discharged."

Discharged? Immediately, Jonathan was taken aback. Although Ezra's condition had improved greatly, he was still rather unstable.

When Jonathan found out about the Young family's trip to Aurora Crest two days ago, he freed up the day to head up the mountain and watch over Rose. Finley and Leonard were well aware of his worry for her, but... Glancing at the rearview mirror, they carefully took in Jonathan's expression. After a while, they heard his deep voice saying, "To the hospital!"

...

At a high-end cafe in Regalia, Lizzie seemed satisfied after a phone call. Jonathan took a U-turn, huh?

Given his feelings for Rose, she

knew he would follow her to Aurora

Crest. That was why Lizzie had resorted to using Ezra. She also wanted to confirm who Jonathan would choose between Rose and

Ezra, and she had her answer now.

"Oh, Rose. You're just a woman to him, after all." Lizzie chuckled coldly. Her dislike toward Rose seemed to have thinned out compared to the past.

Even if Jonathan had "given up" on Rose, she needed to proceed with today's plan regardless.

While sipping her coffee, Lizzie waited for another phone call. After some time, her phone finally rang. She quickly answered the call and heard a male's voice.

"Lizz, we did it. Jack has escaped."

Lizzie was extremely pleased with the outcome. "How did you do it?"

"I followed your instructions, of course. I made him pretend to have an acute medical episode and stage a car accident on the way to the hospital..." The car accident was naturally his idea.

He waited for Lizzie's praise but received her cold, reprimanding voice instead. "A car accident? How could you fake another car accident?" She purposely lowered her volume but couldn't suppress her dissatisfaction. "Why not, Lizz?" The man on the phone was confused.

She was frustrated by his lack of deliberation. "Did you forget about the car accident in Aquastead? With Jonathan's intelligence, he could easily connect the dots when he found out Jack had escaped through a car accident!" The person on the phone paused briefly. "W-Will he? Jonathan is smart, but he can't possibly presume Kelly is still alive or that she's become another person, can he? Trust me, he won't, Lizz. You're overthinking this." Lizzie gradually calmed down. Had she overthought this? She inhaled deeply, her gaze dimming. "Let's hope... he stays out of the loop."

Lizzie believed she had seamlessly

orchestrated Kelly's accident, going so far as to manipulate Harriette's track record during her disappearance. Even if Jonathan investigated her, he would only find "ordinary" information about

"Harriette". He would never connect Kelly to Harriette.

Thinking of that, she finally relieved her tense heart. She smiled sinisterly as she centered back on her plan that day.

"It's bound to be a happening day at Aurora Crest."
