Chapter 481 She Cannot Be Afraid


They had never seen this version of Jonathan before. Although they were aware of how differently he acted toward Rose from the other night, they never knew such an aloof and cold man could be this compassionate. Eleanor looked at Rose with an added hint of curiosity. Cyrus, on the other hand, relaxed his shocked expression and focused on Rose. As for Lizzie...

Although she wore her usual, gracious smile, an unmistakable coldness flashed in her eyes. However, she wasn't looking at Rose, but rather Yara. Although she was crowned as a renowned international actress, it was obvious that she had the worst acting skills among everyone in the room. The way she looked at Rose revealed her utter jealousy. Had it not been for Jonathan's presence, she might've gone up and attacked Rose.

Lizzie raised her brows seamlessly. She thought luring Rose into the manor would make her susceptible to Eleanor's challenges, but Jonathan's actions gathered more resentment toward Rose. It seemed her efforts weren't in vain.

The surrounding gazes made Rose ignore her dizziness and quickly snap to reality. Then, she scanned the individuals in the room.

Whether it was people she knew or didn't know, they were all looking at her. She couldn't help but raise her guard. "Rose..." Jonathan's voice pulled her focus to him. Right then, she saw the concerned look on his handsome face. Seeing that Rose was in a daze, Jonathan wanted to call the doctor, but she grabbed his hand. "Where is this?"

She vividly remembered that she was in the car, looking for Dawn at Ebott Road. For some reason, she got into a crash and...

She looked at Jonathan, the only person in the room who would answer her question. Upon hearing her voice, he heaved a breath of relief and hurriedly replied, "This is Finch Manor. You were in a car crash outside just now. Are you in pain or anything?" Rose met with his concerned eyes; he remained worried upon not receiving any answers. "I'm... fine," she said while gripping his arm.

She felt perfectly fine, but the thought of her being at Finch Manor and Ebott Road...

At that instance, she finally realized why it felt familiar while she was on her way here. She had been here with Jonathan once!
