Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 553

Harriette acted as if she couldn't bear the thought of Rose being taken away by someone else. If Miles stepped in and successfully stopped Rose, Rose would lose her connection to the Xanth family. Even if he failed, Miles' fury would probably be ignited, making it a win-win situation.

Harriette reveled in her shrewd plan.

As expected, Miles' expression grew darker by the second. Seeing him step forward, she tightened her grip on his wrist.

"Miles, what are you going to do?"

Miles lowered his gaze and patted her hand gently. Gradually, Harriette loosened her grip. Once he turned around and continued walking toward Rose, the feigned concern in her eyes disappeared, replaced by eager anticipation.

She was waiting for Miles to intervene, but even more so for Rose's response.

At the moment, Elijah, Rose, and Clover were surrounded by a dense crowd offering congratulations. Even Eleanor seemed inclined to join in.

Just moments ago, Eleanor's focus had been solely on Elijah, but now her gaze was fixed on Rose, her eyes ignited with newfound intensity.

"That Rose..." she muttered under her breath, surprised by her own misjudgment. "I never expected her to be Elijah's daughter. It seems I underestimated her, but thankfully, Jonathan didn't."

With Rose's newfound connection to the Xanth family, the Finch family's plan to expand into the overseas market now seemed like an opportunity handed to them on a silver platter.

As she watched the throng of people surrounding the three members of the Xanth family, Eleanor knew she was in no rush. Her priorities and intentions were clear, and Lizzie, who was standing beside her, understood them perfectly.

Eleanor valued status and benefits above all else. Previously, she hadn't even considered Rose a potential granddaughter-in-law for the Finch family, but now things were different.

Even the prestigious Finch family of Regalia wouldn't dare to look down on the Xanth family, especially with the powerful Lerain Group behind them.

Lizzie glanced over at Jonathan, who was watching the scene with a soft, almost tender look in his eyes. Following his gaze, she wasn't surprised to find that it was fixed on Rose.

"Rose… She really is something special," Lizzie murmured.

This statement would have sounded like a compliment to Rose if anyone else had heard it. But deep down, Lizzie left one crucial thought unsaid. "So special enough that I want her out of the way…"

Just then, a voice resounded loud and clear amidst the congratulatory crowd. "Rosie…"

The moment that voice rang out, it drew the attention of everyone present.

Miles' identity was widely recognized among the attendees. And now, everyone knew that the newly reunited Ms. Xanth was none other than the Young family's adopted granddaughter.

The crowd couldn't help but wonder what Miles was going to do in a situation like this. With Miles' grave expression, an uneasy tension settled among the onlookers. They feared his intentions weren't good.

Sensing the impending trouble, Clover immediately stepped in front of Rose, adopting a protective stance. "Miles, I hope you're here to congratulate Rosie on finding her real father."

His unwavering gaze served as an undeniable warning. He had always believed that accepting Rose as his sister put him on equal footing with Miles, with both being her brothers.

However, things had changed now. Rose was his blood cousin and a genuine member of the Xanth family. Their bond was stronger and more intimate than the one she shared with Miles.

Clover's growing sense of superiority wasn't lost on Miles, who suddenly gave a faint smile.

"Of course, I'm here to congratulate Rosie," he responded smoothly. "But that's not all..."

He paused and turned to Rose, his gaze softening instantly. "Rosie, congratulations on finding your biological father and reconnecting with your family."

The word "family" made Rose pause. She quickly stepped out from behind Clover and stood before Miles. "Miles, in my heart, you're also my family."

Miles had been her family long before this revelation.
