Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Watching from the second floor, Lizzie revealed a smile.

"What happened?" Cyrus asked upon exiting from his art studio.

Sensing that he was behind her, Lizzie hid her smile and turned to him with a solemn and worried look. "Let's go check it out." They could bring her in while they were at it.

The pair descended the stairs and saw Yara and Bella, who were similarly startled by the loud sound. "It sounded like... a crash..." Yara commented as she turned toward the source of the sound.

Soon, Lizzie and Cyrus hurried outside. The two women locked eyes and followed the couple.

In Eleanor's study, when the loud crash pierced through the walls, Jonathan couldn't help but feel his chest tighten, his breath hitching.

"What's wrong with me?" he wondered as he touched his chest, a sense of foreboding creeping in.

Holding up the collaboration agreement between the Finch and Lerain Groups, Eleanor was unperturbed by the booming sound as though she didn't hear it. Instead, she stared at the document and nodded in satisfaction. "You did a great job, Jon."

She was generous with her compliments. Undeniably, the Xanth family could be a huge stepping stone for Finch Group to expand its overseas market.

"I'll go see what happened, Grandma." Jonathan couldn't ignore the growing anxiety within him. He believed it had something to do with that crash he had heard.

Eleanor heard him but was unbothered. "What's there to see? Just let Anna handle it."

Her abundant life experiences made her apathetic toward minor things like this. All she cared about at that moment was this collaboration!

"Now that you're the ruler of Finch Group, Jon, my biggest wish is for the company to maintain its wealth and status, and to see it grow and thrive. With the Xanth family-"

Jonathan's ringing phone interrupted Eleanor. She watched as he fished out his phone. He wouldn't disrupt their discussion no matter what pressing matter it was.

As such, she was confident he would decline the call and continued, "With the Xanth family's partnership, you must..."

However, Jonathan wasn't paying attention to what she said. His phone screen displayed an incoming call from the bodyguard he had sent after Rose. Recalling the unsettling feeling from earlier, he quickly answered the call with bated breath. The caller spoke, "Sir, Mrs. Finch is in trouble..."

Before they could explain any further, Jonathan had turned around to leave the study. When he reached the door, he anxiously asked, "Where is she?" His voice was audibly shaky. "Outside Finch Manor..."

That meant the booming sound from earlier... Jonathan kept his phone and dashed outside.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

In the study, Eleanor scrunched her eyebrows. Anna rang the telephone in the room, which she answered.

The latter reported, "Mrs. Finch Senior, there's been a car accident outside the manor. Two vehicles have crashed into each other. One of the drivers is Ms. Anastasia, while the other-" "Rose?" Eleanor interrupted her.

Anna was shocked. "How did you know, Mrs. Finch Senior?"

Eleanor ended the call without responding. How could she not know? Jonathan looked like his soul had left his body when answering the call Moreover, he even left in the middle of their conversation Who else but Rose could make him act that way?

To excuse Rose from attending the family banquet, Jonathan had sealed the collaboration between Finch and Lerain Groups as an exchange. Yet, here she was...

Eleanor became more intrigued by Rose. "Now, let's meet this girl from Aquastead and see what she has that got my grandson under a spell!" She grabbed her walking stick and slowly exited the study. Around the same time when Jonathan heard the news, Clover was at his villa, Royal Garden, and received the same call.

"Car crash? Where is she?" He instantly put down the glass of wine, which he had been enjoying, and walked outside. Emily saw him and followed suit.

"Sir, there's another group who's secretly tailing Ms. Shaffer. They've gone to take a look, so it's best if we stay low first."

Another group? Clover instantly guessed it was Jonathan's bodyguards. "I got it. Send me the address. I'll be there soon," he ordered in a low voice. When Clover ended the call, Emily had driven the car out of the garage. With that, the two headed straight to Finch Manor.

....

When Jonathan rushed to the scene, there was already a crowd. Under the lamp post, they saw smoke emerging from the crashed vehicles.

At that moment, his heart skipped a beat. Instantly, he found his bearings and squeezed through the crowd only to see Rose stuck inside the car.

"Rose..." Jonathan was unaware of his trembling voice. He quickly went forward, while the bodyguard opened the car door, revealing the unconscious Rose in the backseat.

"Step aside!" He felt suffocated by the sight of her.

The bodyguard quickly made space, after which Jonathan carefully carried Rose into the manor. As he did so, he yelled, "Call the doctors!"

There was a designated medical team within Finch Manor. Nobody dared to go against Jonathan's instruction, so Anna summoned the doctor from another building to the main one.

From the cars, the cab driver was assisted out of the vehicle while the other lay on the steering wheel.

Although Anastasia was prepared

for the collision earlier, her head still knocked against the steering wheel and started bleeding. It was painful. Amid the chaos outside the car, she heard Jonathan's voice.

"Has he brought Rose inside? I did it! But... It seems like he didn't notice me in the car," she thought.

Filled with disappointment, she supported her aching head and looked up. It was only then that the people outside noticed her.

"Anastasia? It's her!" exclaimed

Lizzie. She seemed worried, and her

kind persona left her no choice but to dash toward Anastasia's side and show he

show her concern. "Somebody, help! Anastasia is hurt too!"

Anastasia rolled down her window. Before the others could come closer, she whispered to Lizzie, "I did it, Madam Lizzie."

Lizzie was extremely satisfied with the outcome. She leaned against the window and whispered back, "You can look forward to your divorce soon!"
