Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 423

When Rose entered the car, she noticed it was missing a key and couldn't start the vehicle. The street was empty, and there weren't any other cars either.

As such, she could only follow the navigation and ran along the route. Her phone's battery was depleted, and she was unfamiliar with Regalia's roads.

She had no choice but to memorize the route on her GPS while she ran. At last, right before her phone died, she saw a shared bicycle by the road and successfully rented it with her device. With the assistance of the bicycle, she finally moved faster.

The night was particularly chilly, not only because of the wind but also because of her worry for Yvonne. She wished she could appear beside Yvonne and confirm her safety. She hoped that Yvonne happened to lose her phone and that she merely wanted to dance on a whim.

However, the memories of tonight rendered her more anxious. The last-minute change of venue for the celebration party… The club under Finch Group… And that recommended-based admission spot from the Royal Dance Academy of Sardovia…

She hoped she was horribly wrong, but all the arrangements tonight were seemingly targeted at Yvonne.

Then, her mind suddenly led her to Jack. For a second, she felt fear and stopped herself from thinking more. All she wanted was for Yvonne to be okay. Just as long as she was safe…

…

With one hand on the steering wheel, Jonathan gripped the earring with his other hand. Since he received the note, he had been filled with anticipation and excitement.

Rose had been keeping a distance from him since they came to Regalia. Hence, this was the first time she had wanted to see him alone.

Jonathan asked Leonard and Finley to head home, while he drove to the location Rose wrote on the note. On his way, he even bought a fresh bouquet. He followed the address on the note and sped over.

There was also another line on the note. "Let's talk." He didn't know what she wanted to talk about. Regardless, he would confess his feelings to her.

Their rendezvous was at a hotel under the Young Group. Upon arrival, Jonathan went straight to their designated room. The door was left ajar, so he headed in.

As the sound of water running echoed from the bathroom, his dark eyes were tinted with a touch of lust.

Suppressing his myriad of emotions, he laid the bouquet on the table and raised his brows at the already-poured red wine. Beside the red liquid was the counterpart of the earring he had.

He took the other earring into his palm and examined the pair together. The sight of Rose wearing them with a bright smile appeared in his head.

His heart couldn't help but race. When it came to her, he truly had no control. This ambiguous atmosphere instantly diminished the sense of willpower he was usually proud of.

Behind him, the water continued running in the bathroom, adding a touch of sensuality to the air. Not wanting Rose to notice his strangeness, he glanced at the wine she had prepared. With just a tilt of the glass, he downed the red wine.

However, the alcohol didn't help calm him down like he wished. Instead, he felt a strange warmth coursing through his veins.

This wine… Jonathan furrowed his brows and stared at the glass. Then, he realized the wine had been spiked. He knew Rose wouldn't have done that to him, which meant…

He looked at the earrings in his hand. Suddenly, his gaze turned fearful. Rose was in danger!

Almost by instinct, Jonathan put down the wine glass and wanted to escape. Right then, the room dimmed into darkness before a figure came from behind and enveloped him.

"This isn't Rose!" he thought. He was well familiar with how her body felt.

Reflexively, he seized the hands wrapped around his waist, his force almost unbearable. "Who are you?"
