Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Chapter 68 Can't Keep Uncle Jonathan in the Dark Forever

Rose fixed a gaze upon the person sitting across from her, a hint of disgust lurking in her eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Nixon suddenly grabbed her hand.

She instinctively jerked her hand away and splashed a glass of water onto his face.

"Rose, you ..." Nixon seethed. "I see you're jealous, aren't you? You're envious that Kelly is marrying me, but you dare not vent your anger on her. You're afraid of exposing your true nature to others." Jealous? Rose had just taken a step forward but halted abruptly. She turned slowly to face and stare at him as if he were a fool.

"Envious of a scoundrel like you? Marrying you is nothing to be jealous of."

Nixon did not react with anger to being called a scoundrel. He believed Rose had married someone else as revenge on him, making it impossible for him to acquire Celeste Jewels.

For some time now, he had been struggling to fill the financial hole of the projects. It was all because of Rose. Now, he was marrying Kelly, who would bring a substantial dowry.

He intended to make a triumphant comeback. Naturally, he wanted to show off in front of Rose her decision was wrong.

"After all, I'm from the Lane family," he continued, 'Grandma said that I'm the only rightful heir of the family. In the future, everything in the family will be mine. And you...

"I heard your husband is a male escort. Rose, are you that desperate to find just anyone after leaving me? What kind of life can a male escort provide for you? You're not as kind and fortunate as Kelly. The woman I love will lead a life of luxury."

As he mentioned Rose's husband, a clear disdain appeared in his eyes. He stared at Rose, hoping to see regret in her expression, but she didn't.

Rose raised an eyebrow and nonchalantly corrected, "First of all, my husband is the most charming man in the world, far more handsome than you.

"Secondly, it doesn't matter what kind of life he can provide me. What matters is that I can provide the life I want for myself. You do know that Mr. Finch paid 500 million for my jewelry design in the competition, right? As the designer, how much do you think I'll get?"

Nixon's eyes visibly widened upon hearing her words. Noticing his expression, a cold smile crept onto Rose's lips.

'As for Kelly, I hope that in your eyes, you'll only ever see her as kind and innocent."

Kelly was like a scheming person who pretended to be sweet and kind in front of others. Nevertheless, can a person fake it forever? If Nixon ever saw the real Kelly.

Rose's eyes held a trace of anticipation thinking about the scene. That would be when the real drama unfolded. Taking advantage of Nixon's momentary confusion, she chuckled and left briskly. Once Nixon regained his composure, Rose had already disappeared.

"500 million..."

He thought about what Rose had just said. He had been with Kelly continuously for the past few days, taking care of her. Hence, he hadn't paid attention to the latest developments of Uncle Jonathan. He couldn't believe he had spent 500 million to purchase Rose's design. What kind of thing was worth 500 million? Could it be that he still had an interest in Rose? He couldn't put his feelings into words. Suddenly, he saw Kelly walk in and immediately approached her.

"Kelly, you said Rose married a host. Tell me who he is and I'll bring him before Uncle Jonathan right away to expose her true colors. I can't let Uncle Jonathan be kept in the dark forever."

He still referred to Jonathan as "Uncle Jonathan", displaying a sense of warmth. It seemed he had forgotten about being rejected by Jonathan not too long ago. However, Kelly's heart skipped a beat. The host whom Rose had married was none other than Jonathan; she couldn't reveal it to Nixon.

Taking a deep breath, she forced a smile and said, "Nixon, she's my sister after all, Let's spare her some dignity, shall we?*

"She schemed against you in the National Jewelry Design Award, and you're still considering her!"

Nixon stared at her. He believed that his beloved woman was kind, unlike Rose.

"It doesn't matter now."

Kelly displayed a bitter smile. In the past few days, the mere thought of Rose had spoiled her mood.

She wished that Jonathan would immediately break up with her, but she knew that rushing this matter would be unwise. Thinking of something, a calculating look crossed her eyes.

Then, she put on a concerned expression as she said, Rose may be beautiful and has always been liked by men, but there's something I've been worrying about, I haven't known how to advise her to stop..."
