Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Chapter 210 He Does Not Need Money

"I can't help you, Mrs. Lane Senior."

As soon as Rose said that, Chloe's expression stiffened. Refusing to give up, she wanted to convince Rose to recall all the kindness the Lanes had once shown her.

Alas, no matter how hard she cracked her brain, she could not think of a single example. Chloe panicked when she saw that Rose was about to lea

All of a sudden, she shrieked at Rose, "No matter what, my family gave you the chance to get acquainted with Mr. Finch. If it hadn't been for my birthday celebration, you wouldn't have been able to meet him regardless of how hard you tried! Now that you've latched onto him, Rose, you shouldn't be so ungrateful!"

Latched onto him? Rose knew full well what Chloe meant. Chloe was insinuating that Rose had used her wiles to seduce Jonathan,

Rose sneered. True enough, the Lanes never failed to meet her expectations.

"I'm afraid I can't have the honor of being called ungrateful by you, Mrs. Lane Senior. I should be glad I didn't fall into the hellhole that is the Lane family. You people.. truly disgust me!*

Though Rose did not intend to kick the Lanes when they were down, she was no pushover either. Seeing the vicious look in Chloe's eyes, Rose took a few steps backward.

"Mrs. Lane Senior, I heard that Nixon has been admitted to a psychiatric facility. Don't you plan on visiting him?"

All at once, Chloe's menacing expression vanished. Lately, she had been so fixated on meeting Jonathan that she paid no attention to Nixon's whereabouts. A psychiatric facility?

It was the Lane family's predicament, not Nixon's situation, that she was concerned about. Considering what happened to Nixon, it proved that Jonathan would not be going easy on the Lanes.

The Lanes... were truly done for! In a matter of days, Lane Group declared bankruptcy. Even the Lane residence was sealed off.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was at the Aquastead Hotel. After the dinner with Rose and Jonathan, Anastasia did not return to Young Estate.

She knew that Rose and Jonathan had been spending the last few days at Harmony Hospital. Though she was displeased, she could not do anything.

In the morning, she received a call from her assistant.

"Ms. Young, I've contacted the person who owns Lerain Group's red diamond. He'll be coming over to Aquastead-coon, but he doesn't need money. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get the red diamond from him."

Though it would not be easy, Anastasia was going to give it a shot anyway. She needed that red diamond.

"Alright. Help me set up a meeting with him. I'll talk to him myself."

Anastasia was hellbent on getting it. After ending the call, Anastasia finally felt a little better. Over at Chereton, Kelly had been waiting at the inn for several days now, but Angelica refused to see her. If not for the benefits Angelica could provide, Kelly would have left a long time ago. Alas, Angelica had

the final say, so Kelly had to be patient and wait until Angelica relented.

At last, in the evening. Kelly received a letter from Angelica. It was an invitation to meet at the Glass Lake in Chereton. Overjoyed, Kelly wasted on time. She swiftly changed her clothes and headed out. One hour later, Kelly and Angelica met on a boat. Though they were floating above the clear lakewater, Kelly's eyes were filled with nothing but the dirtiest of greed.

"Madam Angelica, I'm sure my mother has told you what I want. I heard that you're asking for one billion. I don't have one billion right now but don't worry. Once I become the heiress of the Young family, what's one billion? I can even give you two or three billion."

Angelica scoffed.

"That can only happen if you become the heiress of the Young family."

Without Angelica, it would be nothing but an empty dream for Kelly. Kelly was displeased. But, once she calmed down, she fixed a piercing gaze on Angelica.

"What you're truly after isn't the money, right, Madam Angelica?"

Angelica frowned without saying anything, but Kelly knew she was right.

"Previously, my father sought your help to deal with Rose. Even though he gave you money for it, I get the feeling that you only helped him because you don't like Rose." Angelica glanced at Kelly.

"You sure know how to jump to your conclusions. What reason do I have to dislike Rose?"

"It's because of Celeste Young."

Kelly did not try to avoid the subject. Sure enough, the name made Angelica's gaze change.

"You hate Celeste... or rather, you despise her. Let me guess. She was such an accomplished woman. She shone so brightly like the stars in the sky. Everyone must've liked her, right? Maybe the one who liked her just so happened to be the person you liked, Madam Angelica

Upon seeing that Angelica was biting her lip, Kelly knew she made the right guess.

She continued, "In the end, even fate favored Celeste.

Recalling the past, Angelica bellowed at Kelly.

"What made her so special?"

He liked Celeste, and she was even the heiress of the Young family.

Even after all these years, Angelica could still remember the scene when the Youngs came in a luxury car to take Celeste home.

Alas, despite having such a prominent background, she only spent half a year in Regalia before returning with her tail between her legs. From then on, Henrietta changed her name to Celeste. She purposely hid everything about her past.

Angelica was more than happy to see that. She wanted nothing more than for Celeste to spend her entire life as an ordinary, unimportant person. Yet, Celeste founded Celeste Jewels...

And, she met him again... Angelica's gaze went from frenzied to icy.

Kelly took it all in. If she wanted to become the heiress of the Young family, she needed to know about Celeste's past. Still, she was not in a hurry. Her priority was to convince Angelica. "My situation is just like yours...

Kelly lowered her eyes as she schooled her expression into a look of sorrow, Angelica frowned and eyed her in puzzlement.

"I despise Rose, and it just so happens that the person I like is in love with Rose. Do you know who he is? He's Jonathan Finch, the one in charge of Finch Group in Regalia..."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Kelly did not hide anything from Angelica. Even if Angelica did not know much about the upper society, she would have heard of Finch Group before. The Finches were the top elite family in Regalia. "They got married. Doesn't that grind your gears? Celeste's daughter became the wife of the top elite family in Regalia. So many people envy her..."

"Oh, right. There's something you might not have heard about yet."

Kelly paused on purpose.

True enough, Angelica asked impatiently, "What is it?"

"Oliver Young has accepted Rose as his granddaughter... Isn't it ironic? In a strange twist of fate, he ended up unknowingly acknowledging his real granddaughter. Thankfully, he doesn't know about her true identity!"

With each word Kelly said, Angelica's unwillingness to accept this situation intensified. Back then,

Celeste seemed to be the most blessed woman in the world, but in the end, she died.

Angelica thought that as long as the Youngs could not find Celeste, they would never be able to locate Rose. Yet, fate refused to cooperate! A strange twist of fate...

Angelica loathed fate with every fiber of her being.

Following a brief silence, Angelica abruptly asked Kelly "What can you do?"
