Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Standing Him Up Makes Him Angry

Rose's heart skipped a beat. She thought of him as a refined charming gentleman in public but a love expert behind the scenes. However, his earnest gaze and sincere tone contradicted her assumptions.

She immediately reproached her judgment and felt a pang of curiosity.

"Her? Is she your ex-girlfriend? Your first love?"

Miles noticed the curiosity in her eyes.

He chuckled and said, "No, she's my sister."

"I see. Your sister..."

Rose forced a smile. She had assumed there was some juicy backstory.

Meanwhile, Kelly was eavesdropping on them from not far away. Earlier, she had rejected Nixon's offer to send her home and pretended to take a taxi to leave..

Nevertheless, she returned after a few minutes and deliberately waited for them to come out.

Seeing them engrossed in conversation and seemingly getting along well, her jealousy flared up like a burning fire.

She was now more certain that Rose had made up to Miles to use his connections in entering the National Jewelry Design Award.

"That sucks!"

She clenched her teeth as she took out her phone and captured the image of the two of them who were chatting and laughing. A malicious plan was forming in her mind.

After seeing Rose off in Evan's car and parting ways, Miles's driver brought the car.

As he got into the car, his assistant handed him a stack of documents and said, "Mr. Miles, these are the entries for the semifinals of the National Jewelry Design Award. Would you like to review them personally?"

Miles took the documents and casually flipped through them. Suddenly, he came across a design that caught her attention. He glanced at the designer's name. It was Rose!

In the preliminary round, her brooch design had captured his attention. He had encountered numerous talented designers, but none had the same captivating effect as Rose's designs.

'Pay attention to this contestant named Rose. Make sure she makes it to the finals. Also, in the next few days, I'll be visiting Chereton. My grandfather is looking for his daughter, who once lived there," he said.

Rose returned to Zenwood Gardens at around 11:00 PM. For some reason, she felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't recall what it was.

It was only when she arrived home and saw Jonathan sitting at the dining table that she realized her mistake-she had forgotten to notify him and canceled their dinner date.

At that moment, he was Saning at her with an intense, almost predatory gaze

An overwhelming sense of guilt surged within her.

She tentatively asked, "Uh... Have you eaten?"

Jonathan's voice was as cold as ice.

"What do you think?"

Rose couldn't help but swallow nervously.

She cast a glance at her bedroom door and said, "Haha! You haven't eaten yet? Why? It's not good to starve... I'm a bit tired. You... you have no choice but to keep starving..."

She decided to evade the situation after sensing his increasingly displeased expression. She was only about 30 steps away from her room. If she ran fast, she could make it. However, she was about halfway to her room when a large hand firmly gripped the back of her clothing. She was then lifted off the ground with considerable force. "Ah! Let go of me..."

Fear surged through her. Jonathan's pent-up anger from waiting for several hours had reached its peak.

He said with a frigid voice, "Keep starving? What about your culinary skills?"

She actually wanted to escape?Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Panic welled up inside Rose as she tried to explain, “Haha... I forgot about it. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry.... I'll pay more attention next time.”

She was even considering the next time?

He continued to stare at her coldly as he asked, "Where did you go?"

"I met a friend."

"Who?"

"Evan ..." Rose didn't dare to hide it. Nevertheless, she didn't mention Miles.

Jonathan narrowed his eyes as he thought about Evan, who had feelings for her. Instantly, he felt even more displeased as his tone turned somewhat sour. "A date?"

A date?

"Don't jump to conclusions! Evan and I have a perfectly normal relationship, Rose emphasized with an air of righteousness.

Her eager clarification regarding their relationship finally appeased Jonathan. However, he still held onto the back of her clothing, not letting go.

Suddenly, his stomach gurgled. Following the sound, Rose turned and looked at his stomach. Then, a deep, somewhat pitiful voice rang out. "I'm hungry!"
