Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 540

If only she were the real Harriette. Otherwise, she didn't care for such brotherly love. She lay against Miles' back but kept thinking about Rose.

How could she still call Miles when she had strayed away for so long? Lizzie did guarantee Rose would encounter "accidents" no matter which path she took.

However, it wasn't Lizzie who planned the arrangement, but someone else. Did that person not do their job well?

Despite her initial panic, Harriette gradually calmed down and turned optimistic. Perhaps it was still early, and they hadn't attacked. Since every path was posted with attackers, she supposed the "accident" would occur as planned nevertheless.

Perhaps, Rose wouldn't show up even after they waited a long time at the summit!

At the mountain's base, Bella looked grim while sitting in an ordinary-looking MPV.

She received one call after another, telling her that their attempts were a failure. All of them pointed to the same reason, which was the fact that Rose was accompanied by a middle-aged man. That meant the risks had increased, thus lowering their success rate.

"Damn it!" Bella gritted her teeth in anger. She had put in a lot of effort and made thorough arrangements, stationing attackers on all paths. How could this happen?

She was relentless. No matter what, she would not give up on this golden opportunity today!

…

A sanctuary was located atop Aurora Crest. It was usually bustling, but it was quiet today.

When Miles and Harriette arrived at the top, the first thing he did was look for Rose. However, she was nowhere in sight. He hurriedly called her, but the call never connected.

"Don't worry, Miles. Maybe she's out of signal. I'm sure she'll be here soon." Harriette comforted him on the surface but was thrilled on the inside. Out of reach, huh… She deduced that the "accidents" had taken place.

"No. I gotta find her." Miles was worried and even felt sorry for Rose. He had abandoned her alone and went to seek Harriette. If anything happened to Rose… He dared not expand that thought.

He was ready to leave when Harriette called out. "But Miles, I…" She displayed a fleeting hint of fear in her eyes before forcing a smile. "Go ahead, Miles. I can't tag along with my injury, but I'll stay here at the sanctuary and pray for her safe return."

"Okay."

He left in a hurry, and she no longer put up a facade. "What's the point of looking for her? By the time you find her, she's probably dead." Her smugness was unmissable, and she scoffed coldly at the sanctuary.

Her expression swiftly turned solemn, and she clasped her hands, praying, "Pray for blessings, that Rose Shaffer will rest in peace in the mountains, and that I will get everything I desire."

She wanted everything Rose had, the insurmountable assets and power of the Young family…

"Rosie?"

Harriette had just finished praying when she heard a gasp behind her. It sounded joyous and excited, the sound of relief. Naturally, she recognized the voice and felt chills down her spine.

"Rosie, you scared me! Your phone was out of reach. I thought… I thought you got into trouble." Miles emotionally embraced Rose, slowly easing his fear-filled heart.

"I'm sorry, Rosie. I shouldn't have left you alone. You could've… could've…" When he thought of all the possible dangers, he went weak in his knees. "Thank goodness, you're fine…" He kept rambling on.
