Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Pretending To Be Drunk

"Hey, wake up

Rose nudged Jonathan's arm, trying to push away the arm and body pressing on her. However, each attempt failed.

For a second, she suspected that he was doing it intentionally, but his eyes were closed, and the alcoholic scent lingered in his breath. He seemed genuinely drunk.

After a few more attempts, Rose gave up. Instead, she closed her eyes, and it wasn't long before she fell asleep. When her breathing evened out, Jonathan finally dared to open his eyes.

His eyes were clear and bright, showing no signs of insobriety. He was just pretending to be drunk. It seemed like this was the only way he could stay by her side.

Early next morning, Rose woke up to find Jonathan laying next to her, with her pillow on his arm. For a moment, she imagined that they were just a normal, happy couple.

However, Rose was jolted to reality when her phone rang. Worried about waking Jonathan, she quickly grabbed her phone from her bag and answered it, tiptoeing out of the room cautiously. She returned to her room before putting the phone to her ear with peace of mind.

"Rose, why aren't you speaking?! Have you gone mute?

The impatient roar from the other end of the phone stunned Rose. She had been so anxious that she didn't pay attention to who the caller was. It turned out to be Jamie.

He must be up to something! Rose's eyes flashed coldly. Just as she was about to hang up, Jamie's words stopped her.

"Even if you've gone mute, you must be here in an hour. Otherwise, I'll make sure your mother doesn't rest peacefully on her death anniversary!"

Jamie hung up the call and Rose clenched her fists. Her body trembled slightly as she held back her

anger.

Her mother's death anniversary was only three days away, she didn't expect Jamie to use that against her! She knew that if she didn't do what Jamie said, he would attempt something on the death anniversary. "One hour..." Rose muttered, didn't dare to waste time, and quickly packed up.

As she reached the entrance, Jonathan's voice came from behind her.

"Where are you going?"

When Rose left the bed, he was already awake. Jonathan felt the warmth left by Rose on his bed and was particularly satisfied.

Mornings like these should be accompanied by a home-cooked breakfast, so he had planned to cook it for them.

However, seeing Rose rushing to leave, he thought she was trying to run away again, and a surge of

disappointment rushed through him.

Jonathan stepped toward Rose, grabbing her wrist.

"Have breakfast with me before you go."

"I don't have time."

The only thing she could think of was Jamie's warning. At this time, Jamie should be at Scenic Gardens. She had to hurry if she wanted to get from Zenwood Gardens to Scenic Gardens in an hour. Rose shook off Jonathan's hand and left quickly. Jonathan stood there, staring at his empty hand, feeling a little hurt. Forty minutes later, Rose arrived at the Scenic Gardens.

She could feel the tension even before stepping through the door. Rose rang the doorbell, and a maid quickly came to open the door.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

As soon as the door opened, she noticed the group of people in the living room. Besides Jamie and

Chelsea, Amelia, Nixon, and Chloe were all there.

They sat in the living room as if conducting an interrogation. Rose immediately knew this was about Kelly's miscarriage. Did they still blame Rose for it? "Come in!" Jamie's cold voice rang out.

Rose walked into the living room, a cold look flashed in her eyes. She acted indifferently. She found an empty spot on the sofa and sat down.

As soon as she

sat down, the glare from everyone in the room turned sharper.

"Huh, as I expected. With no mother to discipline you, it's no wonder you have no manners. No wonder Mr. Lane chose Kelly over you," Amelia remarked sarcastically.

After learning about Maya's arrest, she went to find out what happened. The police told her that if Amelia wanted to bail Maya out, she needed to get the victim's forgiveness.

She begged Kelly all day yesterday, and Kelly reluctantly agreed to not press charges. Kelly also had convinced the Lanes to drop the charges as well.

However, when Amelia brought the proof of forgiveness, she was told that Maya still couldn't be released. When Amelia came back, she told Kelly about the matter. Kelly immediately suspected that someone was pressuring the police to stop Maya's release. Amelia suspected that Rose was behind this.

The thought of what Maya was going through in jail made Amelia wish to tear Rose apart. Amelia's eyes were full of anger. Rose smiled and met Amelia's eyes.

"You're right, Aunt Amelia. It's no wonder that Jackson Cadwell, you were so proud of, dumped Maya."

"You..."

Amelia was taken aback. Rose continued to stare at her, the smile on her face growing bigger.

"What about me?".

Her words further agitated Amelia.

As she was about to say something in her anger, Rose interrupted her calmly, "Aunt Amelia, you're wrong. It's not that Mr. Lane doesn't want me, it's that I don't want him. As for Kelly... she just likes picking up my trash, what can I do? All I can do is blame it on her poor upbringing!"
