Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 566

Miles had indeed planned everything in advance.

The guests present had arrived before dawn, all waiting patiently because he had shared a crucial piece of information with them—Rose would be joining them that day.

Unaware of these arrangements, Chloe grew increasingly agitated as she surveyed the room. However, upon recognizing the faces of the distinguished elders present, she swiftly forced a smile. "Mr. Yardley, Mr. Langster, Mr. Cox..."

Although these gentlemen had long retired and no longer held significant shares in Young Group, their close friendship with Oliver made them highly respected figures.

As Chloe spoke, they rose from their seats and made their way toward her. She paused for a moment, assuming they were approaching to greet her, and extended her hand for a handshake.

But to her astonishment, the elders merely brushed past her, leaving her outstretched hand awkwardly suspended in midair, her forced smile frozen in place.

The words she heard next compounded her discomfort.

"You must be Rosie! What a beautiful young lady. I'm Irvin Yardley. I held your mother when she was a baby."

"You old coot, why would you bring that up? Rietta never liked you, you know? Don't you remember she once peed on you? Rosie, I'm Campbell Cox, and let me tell you, I was your mom's favorite!"

"Rosie, I'm Luka Langster. I remember thinking you looked familiar during Oliver's funeral, and now I know why—you're Rietta's daughter. This is simply wonderful!"

These elders were all well past their 70s. Usually stern with their grandchildren, they were all smiles that day, their faces beaming with affection as they looked at Rose.

Their warmth left Rose momentarily flustered, but she quickly regained her composure and understood that they must be Oliver's dearest friends.

"Mr. Yardley, Mr. Cox, Mr. Langster," she politely greeted them, her face brightening with a genuine smile.

"What a good child you are!" The elders nodded approvingly, following up with a barrage of compliments about Rose being adorable and how they would love to have her as their granddaughter.

Meanwhile, Chloe, who had been completely ignored, felt her anger reaching a boiling point. She couldn't believe that everyone was so quick to accept Rose as Oliver's granddaughter.

While the elders might have accepted Rose, Chloe certainly didn't. "So, some random woman shows up, and just because someone says she's Oliver's granddaughter, that makes it true?" she questioned skeptically.

The three elders frowned, their eyes narrowing. Irvin was the first to speak up. "There's a DNA report, and we saw it ourselves. How could it be fake?"

Chloe smirked. "Maybe you're unaware, but when Oliver was alive, he found another woman and even conducted a DNA test on her. The report showed that she was related to the Young family by blood, but guess what?"

She paused, her smile widening. "It turns out that she wasn't his granddaughter, and there was no real blood connection. Even Oliver was fooled. And now you all..."

Although Chloe didn't finish her sentence, the implication was clear—if Oliver could be deceived, so could they.

Her mocking tone didn't sit well with the three elders.

Eventually, Luka spoke up. "Rosie's eyes are identical to Rietta's. That can't be a coincidence, right?"

Chloe scoffed at the notion. "You're basing this on her eyes? Oliver adopted two girls, Harriette and Anastasia, both of whom had eyes similar to Rietta's. Are you saying they're all related to the Young family?"

It was Rose's eyes that initially convinced Oliver of her lineage, and as Chloe examined them once more, a flicker of doubt crossed her mind.

Campbell also studied Rose's eyes and shook his head in disagreement with Chloe's argument. "We've met all the girls. Sure, Harriette and Anastasia's eyes resemble Rietta's, but they lack the same spirit.

"Rosie, on the other hand, possesses an uncanny likeness, not just in appearance, but in spirit as well. It's as if she's a perfect reflection of Rietta. If that's not the result of genetics, then what is?"

"Exactly. Rosie is Rietta's daughter and Oliver's granddaughter. There's no doubt about it."
