Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Harriette was warning Anastasia. If she interfered, she would "take care" of her.

Anastasia's eyes flickered with surprise, and she swiftly looked away. After that, she quietly left the airport with the two of them.

On the way back to the company, Harriette deliberately separated Anastasia from her and Rose. Anastasia took a car on her own, while Harriette and Rose shared one.

In the car, Rose couldn't stop thinking about the look Anastasia had given her earlier. She felt that Anastasia had something she wanted to say to her.

Rose sensed that ever since Harriette returned, Anastasia had changed entirely. She was no longer as aggressive as before. But despite Anastasia's change, they still didn't interact much. What could she possibly want to say to her?

"Rose? Rose?" Harriette called her twice before Rose finally reacted. She was immediately met with Harriette's pout. "Rose, what were you daydreaming about? You weren't listening to me, were you?" Rose didn't respond. She tried to recall what Harriette had said, but her mind went blank.

"What did you say?" Rose responded apologetically. She genuinely didn't hear anything.

Harriette huffed, but she wasn't blaming Rose. She repeated, "The bodyguard at Finch Manor that night, I've seen him before."

She spoke while frowning as if frightened by unhappy memories.

Rose recalled what Carl had said that night and couldn't help but feel bad for Harriette. She comforted her, saying, "Etta, it's okay now. Carl's been locked up, and he won't be able to hurt anyone again." Rose wanted to reassure her and chase away her fear.

But to her surprise, Harriette replied, "I know, Miles told me that too. For a long time, I kept having the same nightmare. I dreamed I was pushed into the water and drowned. That's what happened before I went missing. After that... "After that, I kept telling myself not to think about it anymore, and I did stop thinking about it for a long time.

"But Miles told me that it was the bodyguard from the Finch family who pushed me into the water and nearly took my life. Last night, I had the same nightmare again. I'm scared."

Harriette was really good at making up stories. All of the lies were made up at the last minute when they got in the car.

When talking about fear, Harriette looked genuinely afraid. Anyone who saw her would have felt sorry for her.

Rose... should fall for it too, right?

"I know a good therapist in Aquastead..." Harriette seemed to have psychological trauma, so a therapist should be able to help her.

Harriette didn't answer. What she wanted wasn't a therapist.

But she couldn't let Rose suspect her, so she pretended to be pleased. "Really? That's great. I also think it could be psychological trauma, and maybe a therapist can help.

"I told Miles yesterday that I wanted to meet the bodyguard, and he agreed."

Rose was visibly surprised. Meet the bodyguard? She was confused.

Harriette suddenly held onto her arm. "Miles arranged everything, but now that he's gone, I'm scared."

Scared? Then why would she still want to meet him?Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Rose, can you come with me?" Harriette looked at Rose with anticipation.

Her hoarse voice had a certain charm that made others feel sympathy for her.

Rose thought of Miles and the way Harriette mentioned "taking care" of Anastasia. She couldn't refuse her request.

"Okay."

"Really? That's wonderful! Rose, you're so sweet." Harriette hugged Rose's arm happily.

As expected, Rose fell for it.

A smug smile appeared on Harriette's lips. Rose had agreed, and Miles was gone. Now, all she had to do was keep track of Jonathan and Clover and find the right time to bring Rose to see Carl.

In the next few days, Harriette monitored Jonathan and Clover's movements. But almost every day, either Jonathan, Clover, or Elijah would appear.

They were all busy men, but somehow, they had so much time to revolve around Rose. It was so annoying!

Harriette felt frustrated, but the time finally came.

One afternoon, Rose was dining alone in the Young Group building's staff cafeteria. The moment she appeared, it caused a stir.

The other day, when Jonathan arranged the surprise for Rose, everyone in the Young Group benefited from it.

"Ms. Shaffer, you're here to eat?"

"Ms. Shaffer, this is delicious. Let me bring you some..."

"Ms. Shaffer..."

Everyone was so friendly to her. Rose was awkward at first, but now she had gotten used to it.

"Rose, where's Mr. Finch?" Harriette approached and sat opposite her.

"He... went on a business trip."

Because of the work trip, Jonathan clung to Rose until late at night before finally falling asleep. In the morning when they parted, he was once again very affectionate,

whispering softly in her ear.

Thinking about that, Rose's cheeks flushed. Harriette noticed the flush on Rose's pale face, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Where's Mr. Xanth and Clover? Why aren't they here today?" Harriette asked affectionately.

Rose quickly brushed away the flashbacks from the previous night. "Dad made plans with an old friend, and Clover is keeping him company."

Rose felt a warmth in her heart thinking about how both of them had been taking turns having lunch with her. She nearly forgot that both of them were busy. It made her feel selfish for wanting their company.

While Rose was lost in thought, Harriette was excited.

Today was the day! She secretly

made a decision. Jonathan was on a business trip, and both Elijah and Clover were occupied. It would.

be

hard to find another opportunity like

this, so today had to be the day!

However, Harriette didn't bring it up right away. After she took a nap, she rushed into Rose's office in a panic and threw herself into Rose's arms, her whole body trembling. Rose was stunned for a moment, then asked softly, "Etta, what's wrong?"

"I... I had the nightmare again," Harriette stammered, trembling.

The same nightmare she had mentioned before? Rose patted her back, trying to comfort her, but Harriette couldn't seem to calm down. Suddenly, she grabbed Rose's hand. "Rose, I need to see him. Maybe if I see him again, I'll stop being afraid. Exactly. I'll go right now." Harriette muttered.

It was as though she was losing her mind. She didn't ask Rose to come with her, but she was certain that Rose would be too worried to let her go alone.

Simply because "Harriette" was important to Miles, Rose wouldn't just stand by and let her go alone. As expected, before she even left Rose's office, she heard Rose's concerned voice. "Etta, wait. It's raining outside..."

Rose hurried to catch up with Harriette. She followed Harriette out of the office, but Harriette stepped into the elevator before her. The elevator door closed, so Rose had to wait for the next one. After a moment, the elevator door opened again. But just as Rose was about to enter, a hand grabbed her wrist.
