Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 555

Clover's assertive declaration effectively quelled the murmurs of doubt. After all, as the only daughter of the former head of the Xanth family, Rose did not need to resort to deceptive tactics for the Young family's wealth.

Besides, her obliviousness to the DNA test further emphasized Miles' role in orchestrating the situation.

All eyes turned to Miles, but he looked toward Harriette instead. "Rosie is, without a doubt, Grandpa's biological granddaughter. I can attest to Rose's Young family lineage with absolute certainty. As for how Rosie came to be Grandpa's granddaughter..."

He paused and shifted his gaze to Elijah. "The answer is simple. Rosie's mother is Grandpa's daughter. Mr. Xanth, wasn't Rosie's mother named Henrietta?"

Elijah nodded calmly. "Yes. Her name was Henrietta."

"But—" Just as Rose opened her mouth to speak, another voice joined hers.

"But her mother's name is Celeste..." Harriette blurted, her tone urgent and almost involuntary. Realizing her slip-up, she found herself the target of surprised and suspicious glances.

Rose and Miles both eyed her with shock as they wondered how she knew about Celeste.

"Etta..." Miles began, prepared to question her.

However, Harriette quickly cut him off, her voice nervous but steady. "I like Rosie, so I did some digging into her past. That's all..."

"Could it really be that simple?" the same thought flashed in Miles' and Rose's mind.

Miles' frown gradually relaxed, but Rose couldn't shake the strange feeling stirring inside her. Still, she didn't dwell on it for too long, for Harriette's words echoed her own confusion.

"My mom's name is indeed Celeste," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.

In her memory, her mother had always been known as Celeste, so there was no way she could possibly be Henrietta.

Miles gazed at Rose as though he had anticipated her question. He explained, "Celeste is Henrietta. Grandpa was just as surprised when he found out.

"He mentioned that Aunt Henrietta swore never to take the Young surname again when he fell out with her years ago. But I guess she ultimately chose to reclaim the name 'Young' after she left Regalia."

He continued, "Aunt Henrietta always held Grandpa and the Young family close to her heart. When Grandpa realized that Celeste was his daughter Henrietta, he found peace, knowing she had forgiven him."

"Henrietta... Celeste..." Rose repeated the names in her mind. She had never connected the two, and learning they were the same person felt surreal.

Her mother, Celeste, was Henrietta—the daughter Oliver had been searching for all those years.

Everything finally made sense.

Rose recalled that when she met Oliver on her mother's birthday, he told her it was also his daughter's birthday. It turned out they had both been thinking of the same person.

"So, Grandpa had known all along that I was his biological granddaughter?" she mused as images of Oliver filled her mind.

Miles gently ruffled her hair. "Rosie, Grandpa's will was always meant for you, not Kelly."

Rose's emotions were a jumbled mess. She had never sought the Young family's wealth and had no interest in inheriting it now. "Miles, I'm not suited for managing a company..."

"Especially not one as vast as Young Group," she thought.

Miles smiled knowingly, recognizing her humility. After all, she had successfully managed Henrietta's Celeste Group. However, he didn't want to overwhelm her.

"Don't worry. I'll help you with anything you need. You can pursue your passions, but Young Group will always be yours. Fulfilling Grandpa's wish means passing it on to you."
