Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Eleanor didn't expect Rose to say such things. Was Rose truly insightful, or did she see through the provocations and say those things on purpose? Either way, it was enough to make Eleanor take a second look at her. But nevertheless, there was one thing that couldn't be changed.

"But the background of Jon's wife is important to both Jon and the Finch family. Your information was sent to me from the moment you arrived in Regalia."

Eleanor didn't hide it. If Rose was truly insightful, it would be better to be straightforward.

Rose wasn't surprised, and Eleanor continued, "Your mother left you a jewelry company. Although it's fairly large-scale, it's far too insignificant compared to the Finch family in Regalia." These words were within Rose's expectations. She admitted that the Finch family had a prestigious background, but as for who was not worthy of whom...

Rose raised an eyebrow. "So how much would you like to offer to make me sensibly stay away from Jonathan and the Finches?"

Eleanor was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears. "What did you say?"

Rose smiled. "Isn't this the part in the drama series where you offer lots and lots of money to drive me away?"

Eleanor's face darkened immediately. She stared at Rose as if trying to see through her. After a long while, she spoke in a displeased tone.

"Do you want money? Is Jonathan less important to you than money?"

Was Jonathan less important than money to her? Rose contemplated the question.

Money wasn't that important to her. As for Jonathan... She recalled his whispered words to her by the floral wall earlier.

"No matter who we face later, always remember that I'm your hubby! I'm yours..."

He was hers... His tone had been like that of a fierce, yet deeply insecure, stray cat.

If she told Eleanor that money was more important than Jonathan, it would perhaps make Jonathan believe that she had no intention of hooking up with the Finch family.

But at the thought of Jonathan, her heart softened. Rose didn't answer.

Nevertheless, Eleanor didn't care about her answer because, no matter what it was, it wouldn't change the fact that the Finches needed the lady of the household to help the Finch Group, and Rose fell far short. What Eleanor needed to do now was make Rose retreat in the face of difficulty.

"The Maize family may not match the Young family's wealth and status, but only Yara is the best candidate for Jonathan's wife in the whole of Regalia.

"Although Yara is in the entertainment industry, she has a positive image and is a good fit.

"She may have some small schemes, but they won't matter. With some guidance, she'll make a fine Mrs. Finch.

"I know Jon's mind is currently on you, but everything between you two will eventually become the past. Right, Ms. Shaffer?"

Eleanor's voice remained calm and steady. From beginning to end, Rose listened quietly until Eleanor called her out.

She slowly said, "Jonathan and I will indeed become a thing of the past."Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

What surprised Eleanor was that when Rose said so, she seemed utterly relaxed if she had long been aware of this outcome and was not attached to it. "Mrs. Finch Senior, your worries are actually unnecessary."

Eleanor was slightly taken aback. "Oh? How so?"

"You know I'm from Aquastead, and I'll eventually have to return to Aquastead. If it weren't for some matters in Regalia, I might have already left. "When I met Jonathan, he wasn't Mr. Finch. After I learned that he was, I knew that some things weren't up to me.

"I had improper thoughts about

Jonathan, but never had any about Mr. Finch. So, if you're worried that someone like me from Aquastead, is unworthy of the Finch family and would like to hook up with any of the Finches, you can rest assured.

"I have no intention of hooking up with, nor any interest in, Mr. Finch!"

Jonathan had always been the one to make her heart flutter, not Jonathan Finch, the ruler of the Finches.

Eleanor understood what she

meant. Just now when Rose didn't answer whether money or Jonathan was more important, Eleanor was certain Rose wouldn't easily give up the chance to marry a wealthy family. But she hadn't expected...

Eleanor stared at Rose. "You love Jonathan, not Mr. Finch?"

Love Jonathan? Love? Rose's heart skipped a beat. Rose didn't want to ponder on the question, but her expression already gave Eleanor the answer.

"I see. I'm tired. When you go downstairs, please tell them I'm taking a rest. You young people can continue..."

Rose had expected Eleanor's difficulties for her not to end there. Was it just these harmless words that made her retreat?

But soon, Rose understood. Eleanor cared about who Jonathan's wife would be. As long as she confirmed it wouldn't be Rose, she would be relieved. "Okay."

As Rose was about to turn around, Eleanor's voice rang out again. "Wait.

"If you have time, come sit with me more often in the future. When your business in Regalia is done, and you're returning to Aquastead, let me know."

Rose was genuinely shocked. Was Eleanor inviting her to come visit more often? Was it to continue making things difficult for her?

But Rose quickly dismissed this thought. Eleanor's tone didn't sound like she intended to continue making things difficult for her.

Rose observed the elderly woman in front of her. Eleanor's attitude toward her was something she couldn't quite grasp.

Since she couldn't figure it out, Rose decided not to dwell on it. She nodded and agreed, then left the study.

As she passed by the sewing machine, she paused. She thought of the evening gown in the display case, her former regret, here with Eleanor...

She couldn't help but speak,

"Although the French knot stitch is

exquisite, it may not be suitable for this evening gown. Simply using the French knot stitch might not be enough to repair the burnt part."

Rose's unsolicited comment made Eleanor look up sharply. Seeing Rose standing by the sewing machine, and her words...

"You understand embroidery and restoration?"

Eleanor was visibly surprised. According to what she knew about Rose, Rose was a jewelry designer and an honorary designer of K&K. Designing didn't necessarily mean she knew embroidery and restoration. Rose humbly replied, "I know a little."

After Celeste's death, Jamie barely cared for her. One summer while traveling and studying in Herkleton, she met an elderly man.

They were quite fated, and she spent two months as his apprentice. Every summer after that, she would visit him. The elderly man was a craftsman devoted to embroidery. Unfortunately...
