Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 393

"Yes, Mr. Finch," Finley said, not bothering to ask Jonathan to reconsider.

By the time Yara caught up to Jonathan, he had already been ferried off in his car. She watched as the car vanished into the distance. She thought about asking Kate to bring the car around, but she wouldn't catch up to Jonathan in time.

Yara stomped her foot in anger and turned to lash out at Kate.

"Why can't you be a little more proactive? Didn't you see me trip and fall just now? I could have caught up to Jonathan if you'd helped me, but now I've missed my chance because of you! He even smiled at me just now!"

Her face was twisted into a menacing grimace.

Kate had hurried over to Yara. She flinched as the latter threw a fit, but she couldn't help her disbelief. She had seen what happened earlier.

From a spectator's point of view, Jonathan hadn't seemed all that interested in Yara. The only person he cared about was the woman who had come out of Young Estate, and Kate was surprised that Yara hadn't noticed. She inwardly mocked the actress' ignorance.

Yara calmed down and analyzed the incident earlier. She frowned and asked, "That woman who came out just now, how come I've never seen her before?"

It seemed she had not heard Finley address Rose as "Mrs. Finch", but she did catch him addressing her as "Ms. Scahffer".

"Ms. Shaffer… Based on her dress and the white flower brooch she wore, I can only assume she's from the Young family. But why haven't I seen or heard of her before?" Yara drawled pensively as a bad feeling crept up in her.

She dared not dawdle as she fished out her phone and called Bella. "Aunt Bella, do you know what's the connection between Jonathan and a certain Ms. Shaffer?"

There was no deference in her commanding tone, which irked Bella. Still, she reigned in her temper when she thought of the potential marriage alliance between Yara and Jonathan.

"Ms. Shaffer?"

Bella knew Rose, of course, but not well enough. She added, "She's just a woman from Aquastead. I didn't think you'd know her. But don't worry, she's not a threat to you.

"Not every woman who is infatuated with Jonathan can stand a chance at marrying him."

"But Jonathan seems to care for…" Yara trailed off. She was loathe to admit that Jonathan cared about Rose, and her pride would never let her say it either.

Bella knew what Yara was trying to say. She comforted the young actress immediately, "You know how men are. It's normal for them to take a few more glances at beautiful women, but not to worry. For all her beauty, Rose has nothing on you."

Such flattery stroked Yara's ego. She was certain that she was the fairest of them all, which was more than she could say for Rose.

She had caught a glimpse of Rose's face and silhouette earlier. While Rose was pretty, she still paled in comparison to Yara. More importantly, Yara had both money and looks.

Yara was the heiress of the Maize family, after all. The Maize family's affluence placed it just behind the Three Greatest Families of Regalia. Two of the Three Greatest Families of Regalie did not have daughters.

As for the Young family, their daughters were all adopted, which demarcated them from rightful heiresses like Yara. Yara didn't think it was a stretch to name herself as the top socialite in Regalia.

Having regained her confidence, she said lightly, "You're right. I might just be a little paranoid. If Ms. Shaffer is just some unknown woman from Aquastead, she couldn't possibly stand a chance against me. She's no threat to me at all."

Yara hung up after that. She was unhappy that she and Jonathan didn't get the chance to talk earlier, but that didn't matter. Her chance would come soon.

"Bring the car around!" she snarled at Kate. "We're going to Rise Entertainment."

…

Rise Entertainment, unlike the other enterprises under The Finch Group, was not housed within the group's main office building.

In his attempt to break away from The Finch Group, Ezra had selected Young Industrial Park as the business address for Rise Entertainment.

Two luxurious cars drove into Young Industrial Park.

Yara had ordered the driver to speed up. She also had her team contact the press and inform them of her whereabouts. The reporters staked out at the industrial park before she arrived.
