Chapter 236 Truth Behind the Car Accident
People were all curious, probing into the reasons why Rose and Celeste Jewels had become targets. They were very eager to know what exactly had happened, causing them to fall from the sky to the ground in a single night. But no one knew the specific reason.
Only a single message circulated within the industry-if anyone collaborated with Celeste Jewels, it meant severing ties with the Youngs and losing the opportunity to work with them.
The Young Family wielded such immense influence that no one dared to offend. Therefore, most of Celeste Jewels' collaborators also made their choices.
The atmosphere in Celeste Jewels' office was grave at this moment. William and Sherlyn made every effort to quell the gossip in the office. In front of Rose, they both strove to appear calm and composed. Unexpectedly, Rose got a call from Jamie today. Though she had no desire to respond, Jamie's repeated calls forced her to answer.
The moment the call connected, Jamie's taunting voice echoed, "Rose, are you facing any difficulties. lately? If you are, please let me know. After all, we're father and daughter and I'll surely support you." Rose knew that Jamie was seeking revenge for the night of the welcoming party when she didn't show him any respect.
She smirked coldly and inquired, "Alright, how do you plan to support me?"
Jamie paused in surprise at her response.
Afterward, Jamie, as if hearing the most absurd joke, sarcastically taunted, "Support you, Rose? Don't you have the Youngs? I thought you had truly become a Youngs wife. But it seems you've forgotten one thing -you're a Shaffer, not a Young"
Despite Rose's profound disappointment in Jamie as a father, his taunting, as if he wished to see her dragged into the mud like an enemy, still caused a subtle twinge in her heart.
Bitterness lingering in her heart, Rose suddenly spoke in a subdued voice, "Are you truly my father?"
She had asked the same question before, but Jamie's response was as indifferent as usual.
But perhaps this time, as Chelsea had just mentioned the car accident, he immediately felt a palpable sense of guilt upon hearing the question. He ended the call in a state of disarray. Rose gazed at her phone and smirked ironically. Had Jamie casually admitted just now that he wasn't her father, maybe she would have felt a bit more at ease.
Ending the phone in such haste, it seemed as if he were feeling guilty. Guilty
Rose furrowed her brow, her thoughts on the verge of exploration. But her ringing phone brought her back
to reality, the call was surprisingly from an unknown number.
She picked up the call, and a strange voice on the other end asked, "Is this Ms. Rose Shaffer?"
"Yes, speaking"
"Hello, Ms. Rose, Mr. Finch would like you to come to the office."
Mr. Finch? Jonathan Finch? The blurry silhouette of the masked figure appeared in Rose's mind, and she couldn't grasp why he was looking for her.
"Okay, I got it," Rose responded and hung up the phone.
She briefed William on the company affairs and then left the office. She hailed a taxi and made her way directly to the Finch Building
At the lobby of Finch Building, the manager who had previously greeted Rose each time was already waiting there. As soon as he saw Rose, he promptly greeted her and led her to the top floor. She was taken to an aerial garden that connected to the CEO's office. The garden was abundant with thriving green plants, and there was even a swimming pool
Rose saw a silhouette by the swimming pool from afar, uncertain whether it was Mr. Finch.
She stood at one end of the pool, and logically, she should have walked over and asked Mr. Finch why he wanted to meet her. If he specifically called her over, there must have been a reason. But when Rose thought of the danger associated with this man, her feet seemed to weigh a ton. She lifted her legs with difficulty, but after taking a few steps, she abandoned the idea of approaching
Mr. Finch was leisurely swimming dressed casually. If Rose approached right now, it was sure to be quite an awkward moment. In this case, if he didn't move, she wouldn't move either
Jonathan intentionally turned his back on Rose. He was betting on whether she would approach, but after a while, there was still no sign of movement behind hm. A bitter smile crossed Jonathan's face. It seemed that Rose had not let go of her guard against Mr. Finch's identity
Considering the purpose of asking her over today, Jonathan casually picked up the phone from the floating tray, dialed Finley's number, and gave a few brief instructions
Finley quickly arranged for a staff member, who came in with a sealed file bag
"Ms. Rose, Mr. Finch has instructed that this file bag be handed over to you," the person conveyed wit! great respect.
The entire staff in the top-floor office had met Rose before.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
The top floor of Finch Building was considered the highest authority within the entire corporation and was strictly not allowed for outsiders to enter.
Even if Mr. Finch had important guests to meet, the arrangements were made by the office or Mr. Willis elsewhere..
However, Ms. Rose visited multiple times, and each occasion was arranged by Mr. Willis himself, yet he never made an appearance
This conduct was quite peculiar, and everyone was wondering about Ms. Rose's relationship with Mr. Finch. Therefore, everyone appointed to engage with her was especially respectful. "Thank you," Rose took the file bag and expressed her gratitude politely

Her appearance naturally outshone many celebrities, and that brilliantly charming smile immediately made her remarkably stunning.
W the
Rose glanced at the figure pool once the staff left. She hesitated for a moment and then opened the file bag on the spot.
To her surprise, the file bag contained an investigation report about Celeste's car accident over a decade ago.
At the first sight of those contents, Rose's demeanor shifted to a serious and nervous state. She practically went through all the investigative files word by word.
It
was undeniable that Mr. Finch was exceptionally capable. These pieces of information, some of which she didn't even know
The investigation results left Rose standing in silence for a while-the car accident was affirmed to be not accidental but a deliberate act.
The car from Celeste's accident that fell into the water underwent an appraisal, and the conclusion showed no abnormalities. Afterward, where that car was taken remains unknown. Considering the time that has elapsed, it should have ceased to exist by now. Mr. Finch found the car, yet the appraisal this time differed greatly from the previous one.
Reading the line "Brake malfunction, suspected human interference," Rose couldn't help but watch her hands tremble uncontrollably.
She softly mused to herself, "If the car was tampered with, it means someone aimed to kill Mom. Who could be so malicious as to want Mom's life?" Jamie's image subconsciously appeared in her mind.
His presence was fleeting, yet she was reluctant to believe it. Jamie's detachment, the absence of y father-daughter bond-these were things she could accept. She had her suspicions about whether Jamie was involved in Mom's car accident but faced with the evidence now, her heart hesitated as she couldn't accept it. Rose bit her lip and continued reading further down.
Suddenly, she saw a photo of an unfamiliar man. The picture was affixed to a sheet of paper, which, aside from this unknown man's photo, also contained rows of call logs.
And one of those numbers belonged specifically to Jamie Shaffer. There was a sense that something was about to come to light, making Rose's hand holding the document shake uncontrollably.
