Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Finley wasted no time and immediately dialed Jonathan's number.

In a room at the hotel, Jonathan sensed the urgency in Finley's voice on the other end of the line. His dark eyes were ominous and cold. "Find out how she ended up in the water." Finely was momentarily stunned. "Wait, Mr. Finch. Shouldn't you be looking for Mrs. Finch? Both Mr. Miles and Mr. Xanth are..."

Jonathan had hung up the phone before Finley could finish. Finley looked at his phone, puzzled. That was strange. He knew better than anyone how much Jonathan cared about Rose.

If it were in the past, Jonathan would have immediately instructed him to go after Rose, but it seemed that Jonathan wasn't too concerned about Clover and Miles being close to Rose today.

But then again, the reason Rose fell into the water was also important. Finley stopped overthinking and quickly requested the surveillance footage.

Soon, everything that had happened near the swimming pool was clear, including the conversation the bridesmaids had before they went to the pool.

In the hotel suite, Jonathan sat on the couch. Finley entered moments later with a man.

"Mr. Finch..." The man dressed in a suit was tall and imposing, but when facing Jonathan, he was slightly hunched.

Perhaps it was a result of Jonathan's oppressive aura before him, or maybe because of his guilty conscience. There was even caution in his voice. Jonathan glanced at him indifferently. "Have you thought it through?"

"I did, Mr. Finch. Thank you for giving me this chance. I had no idea there was someone else in the room that night, let alone know that it was you. "Mr. Finch, I..." The man was increasingly uneasy.

He carefully observed Jonathan as if trying to confirm that Jonathan wasn't too concerned about what had happened that night. Only then did he feel relieved. But for today...

"Mr. Finch, if Ms. Maize finds out that I'm not you at the wedding." The man appeared worried.

However, Jonathan remained unconcerned. "She's carrying your child. Does she have any other choice?"

With so many media outlets present, Yara couldn't afford to embarrass herself, and neither could the Maize family.

Seeing the man still nervous, Jonathan stood up, took the groom's boutonniere from the table, and pinned it on the man's chest. He then gave him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.

"Don't forget your identity. You're worthy of Yara in this marriage alliance between the Finch and Maize families."

The man's gaze flickered slightly at the mention of his identity. Today was more than just a wedding for him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Finch. I'll play my part well." The man suddenly felt resolute as his previous unease swept away.

Jonathan nodded. He too was eagerly anticipating today's wedding that the Maize family had worked so hard to secure. He left the room after giving the man one last look.

When the surveillance footage Finley had retrieved arrived on Jonathan's phone, he was already downstairs and ready to find Rose. He frowned at seeing the group of people bullying Rose in the footage.

"If they like playing in the water so much, get them to stay there. Also, make sure Ms. Maize gets a good look at how her friends enjoy their swim."

They had to pay the price if they dared to lay their hands on Rose.

"Don't worry, Mr. Finch. I'll make sure they thoroughly enjoy themselves," Finley replied.

At the swimming pool, the

bridesmaids finally managed to get out of the water after much struggle and with the help of the men. They were soaking wet and looking like drowned rats, and they couldn't help cursing Rose with resentment.

"What are we going to do? Our makeup is ruined, and we still need to appear in the photos with Ms. Maize. This won't do!"

"Hurry up, and let's go reapply our makeup. There's not much time left till the wedding. As for that woman..."

"We'll tell Ms. Maize about her. She'll teach that bitch a good lesson!"

The bridesmaids hurried to leave, but a group of tall men in black suits and sunglasses swarmed in before they could get any further.

The bridesmaids barely had time to react before the bodyguards approached. They shoved everyone back into the water without tolerating any resistance.

"Ah!" Screams and splashes mingled together.

After struggling in the water for some time, someone finally gathered the courage to shout at the men in black, "What are you doing? Do you know who we are? We're all Ms. Maize's close friends."

"The Finch and Maize families are having a marriage alliance. After the wedding, Ms. Maize will be Mrs. Finch. Aren't you afraid she'll come after you later?"

The bridesmaids tried to assert

themselves, but the men in black

remained impassive and stood

resolutely by the pool. Every timmet

someone tried to climb out, they would be kicked mercilessly back into the water.

The scene was streamed live onto a tablet which Finley delivered to Yara. At this point, Yara's face was ashen. Beside her, Finley smiled politely as he handed over the tablet.

"Ms. Maize, while today holds the marriage alliance between the Finch and Maize families, the wedding hasn't started yet.

"You're not yet part of the Finches or Mrs. Finch. The Finch family doesn't favor a daughter-in-law who uses underhanded tactics.

"If you still intend to cause trouble and can't think clearly, perhaps a dip into the water like them will help clear your mind."

With that, Finley retrieved the tablet, wiped it clean with a tissue, and turned to leave the room. Yara clenched her fists in fury, nearly exploding in rage.

The room wasn't empty. There were members of the Maize family beside Yara, including Bella. Finley had spoken in front of them all without any attempt to hide it. However, they did not say a single word in defense Vara.

Kon

Yara felt humiliated and insulted by Finley in front of her family. She grew angrier by the minute, but before she could lash out at her family for not defending her, they reprimanded her first. "Yara, how could you be so impatient?" Rupert scolded her with a gloomy face.

Cindy echoed, "Exactly. Today is your wedding day, and you're already the winner. Making things difficult for Rose is one thing, but angering Mr Finch..."

Paxton chimed in, "If Jonathan decides to call off the wedding, it'd be a huge loss. I'd wait until after today if I were you. There will be plenty of ways to deal with Rose discreetly afterward." The entire family disapproved of Yara's actions.

Yara felt utterly stifled. "You didn't defend me, and you're blaming me instead. Whose family are you really?"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Bella soothed her softly, "Yours of course! I know you hate Rose, but everyone is right. Today's your big day, and nothing can go wrong. The big picture is what matters. As for Rose..."

Bella too harbored a deep hatred for Rose, but Jonathan had issued a warning. She relaxed her clenched fist and reassured Yara.

"I told you the other night that I'd handle Rose. Don't worry. It's on the way."

"Really? Almost?"
