Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Chapter 54 Miss!

Finley immediately got to work. Soon, news of the site change spread online.

The competition organizer released an announcement "The National Jewelry Design Award competition will be hosted in Aquastead instead of Regalia this year!"

Ten minutes later, Ezra made a post with his photo. Underneath was the caption: "I heard Aquastead is a place you never want to leave once you set foot in it. Why don't we check it out?"

Another ten minutes passed, and all the heavy players in the jewelry industry had acquiesced to the site change without argument.

Kelly soon returned to Aquastead and headed to the hospital where Rose was.

When she saw Rose alone in the ward, still unconscious on the bed, she sneered, "Poor thing. Did no one

come to check up on you?"

The nurse happened to overhear her and walked inside.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Ms. Shaffer has been taken care of by her husband since yesterday. He... must've been busy today. I didn't see him return after leaving this morning."

"Pit."

The husband that works as a bouncer outside a bar? Kelly rolled her eyes.

She waited until the nurse left before whispering to her sister, "You need to hurry and wake up, Rose. Otherwise, you'll miss out on watching me win first place in the competition. You are about to have your reputation ruined, and I'm not the only one who's been buying off people to write shit about you. Looks like you have more enemies than you think!"

Kelly left afterward, filled with delight. She didn't notice the twitch in Rose's fingers.

Rose felt like she was trapped in a nightmare. In it, she was in a car, sitting beside a woman.

When she turned to see who it was, she cried, "Mom...

A look of fear flared in the woman's eyes. Rose followed her gaze and saw a truck with blinding lights hurtling right at their car.

There was a loud crash, followed by the car being overturned and falling into a nearby river.

Rose could feel the car sinking underwater and her with it, but suddenly a firm hand caught her wrist, pulling her up.

A determined yet gentle voice said to her, "You need to leave, Rose... you need to leave right now!"

It was her mother's voice. Rose wanted to see her face, but the next thing she knew she was in the car's wreckage, and her mother had turned into a man whose face she could not see. All she heard was a worried, "Hang on, miss!"

Rose suddenly woke up from her dream. Her car accident was no coincidence!

She hissed as she lifted her injured hand to pick up her phone. When she saw today's date, another wave of shock ran through her. It was the tenth already, the day of the finale! Was she too late? The thought that Kelly would use her design in the final competition made anger well up in her chest. That design was created by her hand! Just then, a conversation wafted in from outside the ward.

"I heard the sudden change of competition site from Regalia to Aquastead's Trade Center was according to Mr. Finch's instructions!"

"But it was the Young's House who organized this. How could they just let Mr. Finch do as he pleases?"

"I heard from a cousin who works in the Young's House of Jewels that Mr. Finch is in a relationship with Anastasia Young. They knew each other from a young age and were even contracted to marry one another. Yet Anastasia ended up marrying someone else. I heard that, she realized she still had feelings for Mr. Finch later on, and so decided to divorce her current husband.

The name 'Anastasia Young' was strangely familiar to Rose, but she hadn't the time to ponder it right now.

All she kriew was that the competition site was now in Aquastead, so she was going to attend it and take back what was hers!

Rose secretly left the hospital and headed to Aquastead Trade Center. All participants submitted their respective creations to the organizer before the finale,

A large screen at the venue depicting said participants names would reflect their submissions, and participants who had submitted their creations would have their names turned from gray to red. Kelly saw that Rose's name was still gray and snickered delightfully. When she turned away, she happened to see Jonathan in the distance!
