Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Clover's voice echoed in the venue. His words carried too much information at once, sending the crowd into a daze. Who was the person he cared about? Spending 30 million on a gift was definitely a choice, and a lavish one. While everyone focused on his extravagance, those who knew who Clover was talking about were confused. Acknowledgment as his family?

"Don't tell me..." Emily was the first to guess it. Although she knew Clover like the back of her hand, she was still immensely shocked by the revelation. Other than one possibility, she couldn't think any others. Soon enough, Clover's next words confirmed her assumptions.

"I may not have known her for long, but it feels like we've known each other forever. It's as if she were my long-lost sibling. Today, I'd like to take the opportunity and ask everyone to witness this moment for me." He smiled and looked into the audience. "Rose, will you be my sister?"

Immediately, everyone followed his line of sight and saw the lady who had bid on Oliver's suit earlier-Number 112!

So, the lavish gentleman with Number 95 wanted to recognize Number 112 woman as his sister? With a 30 million dollar gift, it was more than enough to show his sincerity!

Rose was too stunned to notice the surrounding gazes. All she could think about was his words, "Rose, would you be my sister?" His sister...

Without waiting for her answer, Miles became the first to object. "What on earth are you talking about? Mr. Xanth, you can't just go around taking anyone in as your sister. You're acting foolish, and I suggest you stop the act!"

The usually elegant and gentle Miles looked grim at that moment, as though radiating hostility toward someone who tried to steal his undivided belongings.

He had always thought Clover harbored romantic feelings toward Rose. Thus, this came as a surprise to him. How could he sit still and do nothing?

His hostility was so intense that anyone around could feel it. Some were even scared to breathe aloud upon sensing his coldness.

His reaction prompted some thoughts in Harriette. Wasn't she supposed to be his most beloved sister? But why was he...

It was clear that Miles was filled with anger and jealousy at that point. He looked at Rose and descended into his thoughts. But despite facing Miles' objection, Clover couldn't be more unbothered.

"I'm not just taking in anyone. I'm serious. If Rosie agrees, I'll inform the Xanth elders to take a trip here to Aquastead. Then, she'll be one of us. What do you think, Rosie?" His gaze was full of love.

Still in a daze from his previous statement, Rose remained stupefied when cued. "Clover, I... This is too big of a matter. I..." Her thoughts were in a mess.

The Xanth family's influence abroad was comparable to the Finch family's influence domestically. She didn't befriend Clover for those external factors, and the fact that he wanted her as his sister was undoubtedly a steal of a deal. Things would be simpler if it were just them. However, considering the family members behind Clover, it was uncertain what kind of impact she would bring to the family if she joined them.

"Mr. Xanth, that's Rosie's way of rejecting you." Anastasia suddenly piped up, afraid Rose would agree if she didn't reject him in her stead.

Her words quickly angered Clover, who glared at her and questioned, "Who are you to chime in?"

His harsh stone shuddered

Anastasia's heart, but she persisted through. "Rosie is part of the Young family. There's no precedent for an adopted member to arbitrarily recognize someone from another family as their own.

"Or... Will you cut ties with the Youngs and claim kinship with Mr. Xanth instead, Rosie?"

She had set Rose up. If she couldn't stop Clover from acknowledging Rose as his sister, she might as well get her out of the Young family. However, her "suggestion" was

quickly dismissed.

"No way!" It was Miles. He even held Rose's hand, looking emotional. "Rose will forever be part of the Youngs! Nobody can ever change that!"

His intense reaction stunned everyone, including Rose. Wasn't he... overreacting? Meanwhile, Harriette sat in the corner, and her hands formed into fists at some point.

Clover frowned and was surprised at how "possessive" Miles was with Rose. Regardless, he wouldn't be affected by Anastasia or Miles' opinions if he had set his mind on something.

"I don't care about the Young family's rules. All I care about is Rosie's opinion." Clover remained headstrong and asked for the third time, "Rosie, would you be my sister?"

This time, his gaze was sincere and full of hope. Rose even had an illusion that if she didn't say yes, he would...

"Rosie, if you reject him, he's probably going to be heartbroken." A woman spoke up beside her. It was Emily. "He may look carefree and indifferent about everything, but..." She sighed.

For some reason, Rose was affected

by her simple sigh. Emily continued, "I've never seen him treat anyone like this. He once told me you felt extremely familiar to him the first time he saw you. It's like you guys were family."

Like family... Wasn't that how Rose felt toward him?

"From my understanding, Rosie, he's probably going to hide from you for the rest of his life if you reject him. Or perhaps... leave the country."

Rose was rendered speechless, knowing Emily had exaggerated. However, she knew she couldn't maintain her friendship with Clover if she rejected him now.

Miles was getting anxious and even glared at Emily. "Rosie, don't listen to her. Clover-"NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"I think, you should do it." A voice interrupted Miles.

Rose looked at Jonathan and frowned. Why was he getting involved now?

"Jonathan!" Miles' voice carried a warning tone.

Yet, Jonathan merely raised his brows. "I'm very touched by the way Mr. Xanth treats Rosie. Besides, Oliver's suit..."
