Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 590

Eleanor's question echoed the thoughts of everyone present in the room. Their attention was glued to the corner as they awaited a response. The silence in the air was eerily palpable.

Rose's body felt weak, and had it not been for Jonathan supporting her, she would have collapsed. Even without the drug's influence, the shock of the situation was enough to make her legs buckle.

Earlier, her mind had been consumed with the desire to taste those tempting lips before her. However, the intrusion of the others had snapped her back to reality.

She heard Harriette's concerned voice calling out, "Rosie," and someone else's unfinished accusation.

"Ezra, you..."

"Ezra? That's right! Ezra was also affected by the drug," Rose thought.

However, the person supporting her right now, the one with an arm around her waist, shielding her weakened body and disheveled appearance, wasn't Ezra.

It was Jonathan. And it was Jonathan who had been on the receiving end of her unintended advances.

Realizing her previous impropriety, Rose felt her face grow hot with embarrassment. She couldn't even bring herself to respond to Eleanor's question. Instead, she felt an overwhelming need to explain herself to Jonathan, whose body was still pressed against hers.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I..." she stammered, her guilt-laden words tumbling out hastily.

It wasn't intentional. She had been drugged and unable to control her actions.

A tender look crossed Jonathan's eyes. Seeing her trying to move away, he frowned and tightened his hold around her.

"Don't move," he whispered, their proximity allowing for little more than a murmur.

Though the others couldn't hear the exchange, they could sense the intimate atmosphere surrounding the couple.

As the silence stretched on, impatience grew among the onlookers. Was the woman really Rose?

"Ezra?" Eleanor called again, hoping for some response from the other party.

Still, no one replied.

The figures in the corner remained frozen in their positions. It was clear that the man was doing everything he could to shield the woman from the prying eyes of the crowd.

Eleanor's understanding of the situation finally clicked. Exposure was not an option, but perhaps an opportunity was disguised within this delicate predicament.

Things hadn't turned out the way she had initially planned. She had been thinking that since Jonathan clearly liked Rose, she would continue encouraging her grandson to pursue her. Eleanor was even willing to create opportunities to bring them together if needed.

However, the current situation was different. It was not Jonathan, but rather Ezra, who was entangled in an intimate moment with Rose in the corner.

Ezra was her grandson as well, and though this development was unexpected, a connection between Ezra and Rose would still secure the Finch family's alliance with both the Young family and the Xanth family of the Lerain Group.

With a deep sigh, Eleanor knew she couldn't prioritize Jonathan at this moment despite believing that Rose would have been a better match for him. Eleanor needed to set aside her regrets and act.

"Mom, what should we do?" Lizzie's voice suddenly sounded from behind, pulling Eleanor out of her thoughts.

Wasting no time, Eleanor immediately strategized her next move. She had considered dispersing everyone, but she knew some events required witnesses. So, she walked straight over to Elijah.

"Mr. Xanth, it seems those youngsters have developed feelings for each other. Perhaps we should consider making their relationship official," she said softly, her tone kind and gentle.
