Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 She’s Rose, Not Harriette 

“You may leave,” Jonathan sounded icy. 

It seemed like a deliberate attempt at masking some truth. His abrupt behavior change. was suspicious to Rose. 

She mumbled, “You-” 

“Don’t you want to leave? If so…” Jonathan’s voice faded. 

He suddenly glanced at her with a predatory look in his eyes, causing her to tremble. 

She chuckled dryly and said, “I’ll leave.” 

She was afraid that he might change his mind and refused to release her. She made her way back to the crowds. 

Anastasia Young slowly appeared from the intersection next to Rose. She heard that Jonathan was around, so she made her way here, only to run into Rose. Was Rose with Jonathan just now? 

Frowning, Anastasia continued deeper into the gardens and eventually found Jonathan by the wall of flowers, confirming her suspicions. 

Nevertheless, she maintained her pretense of ignorance and asked, “Jon, why are you here alone? I was looking everywhere for you. Why didn’t you take my calls?” 

He sat on the bench without so much as looking at her or even listening to her. She looked a little dejected because of the cold shoulder but maintained a smile. 

“Jon, would you like to know who’s Grandpa’s new granddaughter? Let’s take a look, shall we?” 

“I’m not going,” he replied flatly, for he was uninterested in the identity of Oliver Young’s granddaughter. He was only at the event for Rose, 

Of course, Anastasia could guess the reason behind Jonathan’s attendance, but as the star of the night, she hoped that he could see her in her glory. Alas, Jonathan was way more interested in Rose than her. 

Feeling disappointed, Anastasia nonetheless decided to use Jonathan’s affection for Rose to her advantage. 

She remarked, “Miles said that he wanted to introduce a young woman to Grandpa. Aren’t you curious? I am so curious about it.” 

She put on a look of anticipation. Indeed, Jonathan frowned. 

Noticing that, she added, “Miles has never brought any woman home, so I assume this 

lucky woman must be important to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t introduce her to Grandpa. A few days ago, I overheard Grandpa discussing speeding up Miles‘ marriage…” 

Jonathan’s scowl deepened. He stood up before Anastasia was done. 

She muttered, “Jon.”

He left in great strides, leaving Anastasia biting her lips. Jonathan had joined the party as she wanted, but only because of Rose. 

As he was about to vanish from her sight, Anastasia set aside her disappointment and chased after him. 

Zac immediately spotted Rose when she returned to the crowd. 

He grumbled, “Ms. Schaffer, I thought you’d wait for me. You disappeared after I came back with the wine. Were you hiding from me?” 

He was stating the obvious. 

She chuckled and replied, “No, of course not. I went on a stroll for some fresh air.” 

“Looks like you enjoyed it,” Zac remarked with a smirk. 

It was not enjoyable at all. Rose recalled the run–in with Jonathan. If she knew that would happen, she would’ve stayed with Zac and drank instead. 

Upon second thought, Jonathan had offered to help her investigate her mother’s death, so it wasn’t too bad at all. But what was Jonathan after? 

She felt nervous once more as she tried to guess his intention. She was too distracted to even care about the drink that Zac handed her. She instinctively down the contents, 

until Miles wheeled Oliver out. 

All eyes were on Oliver, who seemed high–spirited in his wheelchair. Miles wheeled him. around to greet the guests. 

Amid the crowd, Chloe stared in Olvier’s direction and attempted a few times to drag Nixon along and chat with Oliver. However, Nixon’s gaze was busy searching for Kelly in 

the crowd. 

He finally spotted her, but Chlose called out to him, “Nixon 

“Grandma, Kelly is here tonight. I’ll bring her over to greet you,” said Nixon, who wanted to change Chloe’s impression of Kelly. 

He believed that Chloe would discover Kelly’s good qualities with more interaction. Just 

as he was about to approach Kelly, Chloe grabbed his wrist unhappily. 

“Grandma…”

“Can you man up for once? You keep thinking about Kelly, but she’s not as good as you described,” Chloe complained with a disdainful look. 

If Rose were to be trusted, Kelly was just a child born out of wedlock. Jamie Shaffer, a spineless man who married up, had a daughter who was the same age as his wife. 

If the news spread in the high society, the Schaffers would be a laughingstock. The Lane Family wouldn’t want to be associated with Kelly. 

Chloe shot Nixon a disappointed look and nagged, “You should take an interest in other women, for example, the new granddaughter that Oliver is taking in today. She might not be related to him by blood, but the same goes for a few of his grandchildren. It’s no different than being adopted by him.” 

She added, “If you can win the heart of his new granddaughter, I’ll make your dad hand 

over the family assets to you.” 

Nixon furrowed his brows. He couldn’t deny the attractiveness of Chloe’s proposal. He wanted power in the family, but the thought of Kelly held him back. 

He reasoned, “But I am engaged to Kelly… 

Chloe cut him off with a dismissive scoff.
