Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Chapter 52 Stealing Her Jewelry for Kelly

Rose immediately called Jamie's number.

The moment it went through, she cried angrily, "You told Mdm. Angelica to do this, didn't you? All just to steal my design - did you use such pathetic tricks just because you were afraid I'd win the award?!" Jamie sneered and hung up the call.

He'd thought Rose would lose at the entry stage of the competition and use that as an excuse to deny her inheritance of Celeste Jewels.

Unexpectedly, she ended up making it to the finals, and her designs were even secretly doted on by those in the Young family. That's why he devised this scheme to ensure Rose's loss in the competition. Now Angelica had gotten her hands on the necklace!

Jamie smirked gleefully and said to Chelsea beside him, "Kelly won't have to worry about the competition now. Shell be using Rose's design to participate. When she wins first place, I'll make sure she's equipped with the necessary flair before establishing her as a nationwide master jeweler! If she catches the eye of the Young's House of Jewels, it'll be all the better!"

Chelsea said worriedly, "But what if Rose causes a scene at the finals? What if she tarnishes Kelly's reputation..."

"We'll just have to make sure she doesn't make it there! Jamie then made a call with his phone.

Rose drove all night back to Aquastead. She knew Jamie had his grudges against her, but he never expected him to stoop so low all so she'd be prevented from taking over Celeste Jewels!

She wasn't going to just sit back and wait now that she'd lost her jewelry. There were still three days to the finals, so retrieving her jewelry was nigh impossible.

She could only hope to make another piece before the finals. On the car ride back, Rose took out some paper and began re-drawing the original necklace design she'd made.

Kelly suddenly called, to which Rose picked up.

"Thank you so much, Rose. Dad said you'd be making me a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry, and it just so happens that I haven't created a piece for the National Jewelry Design Award. I can use the piece you made instead, right? Hehe..."

Kelly was delighted, trying to goad Rose. Kelly had sworn she would take away everything Rose had.

Her initial worry that she might lose to Rose had long faded after her father unexpectedly came up with the idea of stealing Rose's jewelry so she could use it herself.

"He loves you so... Rose murmured sarcastically, though it felt like hot knives were cutting into her heart.

She shakily hung up the call and looked back down at her design sketch. There was no point making this again, but she wasn't going to just give up!

Rose took a deep breath and tore out the sketch before turning to a new page. She was going to sketch a new design.

She used the pen as a tool to vent out her undying rage and sadness into the paper, finally creating a new design in less than an hour. Rose then left a small flame symbol in the corner.

It was the signature she used when she drew her designs under her alias 'Ms. Flora', but time was of the essence and she couldn't be bothered to redraw.

So she hurriedly scribbled her name underneath the symbol. Just then, the loud blaring of car horns sounded in her ear. Rose looked up, meeting the striking lights of a truck that was racing right at them. With a loud bang and crash, the car swerved to the side, and Rose swiftly lost consciousness.
