Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 377

The ashes covered the ground. At that sight, everyone's faces began to look enraged.

Chloe was stunned. Regaining her composure, she instinctively looked at Miles and saw a cold glint in his eyes. He had always been gentle and well-mannered, but at that moment, his eyes conveyed extreme anger.

Chloe knew she had made a terrible mistake. After some thought, she decided to shift the blame onto someone else.

"It was…" Rose!

Chloe confidently made eye contact with Miles. To her, the only person she had to handle was Miles. As for Rose, it was a piece of cake to deal with her.

But before she could use Rose as her scapegoat, a tight slap landed on her cheek. All she could hear was a buzz as her mind went blank. Once she regained her bearings, she saw the person who slapped her.

Rose? How audacious of her! Enraged, Chloe glared strikingly at her.

"You…"

Once again, another slap from Rose landed on the other side of her cheek before Chloe could finish her sentence.

It was evident that Rose used all her might because her handprints were visible on Chloe's face. Furthermore, Chloe also lost her balance and retreated a few steps after being hit.

When Chloe recovered her senses, she glared at Rose again. "How dare you hit me!"

Rose's expression darkened. Despite Chloe being Oliver's adopted daughter—an elder to her—Rose had not expressed her resentment once when Chloe made several huge fusses regarding the Young family's inheritance after Oliver's passing.

Yet, Chloe had crossed the line when she knocked over Oliver's ashes. There was no way Rose would tolerate that!

"What will you do about it?" Although Rose looked pale, the rage in her eyes sent a chill down Chloe's spine.

When Chloe met Rose's eyes, it suddenly felt like the person standing before her was Henrietta.

Henrietta…

Shaking her head, Chloe looked at Rose again and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming it was Rose. For some reason, she was reminded of Henrietta when she looked at Rose.

"Why is that?" Chloe wondered. "Their eyes look identical."

It didn't make sense because Anastasia's eyes resembled Henrietta's as well. In fact, all of Oliver's adopted granddaughters had Henrietta's eyes. But none of them reminded her of Henrietta… except for Rose.

While Chloe was lost in her thoughts, Rose was already cleaning up the scattered ashes off the ground. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't retrieve the ashes that had integrated with the grass. The feeling of self-reproach weighed upon her.

Sensing that something was amiss, Miles quickly crouched down and held Rose's hand. He gently comforted her. "Let me help, Rose."

However, she didn't let him get involved. Instead, her mind slowly relaxed after hearing his voice.

She removed his hand from hers, slowly picking up the ashes as if she didn't want to leave a single speck behind or any dirt around it. That sight was heart-wrenching.

As Chloe looked at Rose, the agitation within her grew stronger. When Rose finally returned all the ashes back to the urn and stood up, Chloe thought she had seen Henrietta again.
