Chapter 493 What Happened That Night

At the Finch Manor, Eleanor stood in place for a long time after they left. None of the others dared to leave without her permission.

Lizzie noticed something unusual in Eleanor's demeanor, and soon a suspicion formed in her mind. "Ms. Shaffer is truly something. A Xanth from Lerain Group. That man seems to treat her quite special." Special indeed! Eleanor lowered her gaze and was lost in thought.

Bella echoed, "She already knows how to deal with men so well at such a young age."

She assumed her words would incite Eleanor's dislike toward Rose, but Eleanor glanced at her instead. Bella inexplicably shivered under her gaze. Only after Eleanor left with a grave look on her face did Bella relax.

"It's late, and it's inconvenient for you to go back since you're pregnant. You should just stay here tonight," Bella said as she pulled Yara along and arranged for her to stay.

Anastasia didn't receive such treatment. She noticed Lizzie's deep, contemplative gaze and decided not to disturb her.

Tonight's events clearly hadn't pleased Lizzie. She had schemed to bring Rose here, but Eleanor's attitude toward Rose remained ambiguous, especially the warning look Eleanor gave Bella before leaving. Lizzie felt uncertain. Bella arranged for Yara to stay in a guest room closest to her own. After they entered the room, they were silent for a long time before they spoke in unison.

"Rose shall not stay!"

They exchanged glances and understood that they shared the same thought.

"Mr. Finch left with them. He still doesn't care about me. What's so special about Rose? She's just a woman from Aquastead, from a powerless family..."

Although Yara was trying to belittle Rose, her words exposed her jealousy.

Bella was reminded of Jack who was still detained at the police station. She had planned to wait until Jonathan married Yara and hoped that his interest in Rose would wane before dealing with Rose. But Clover...

"The Lerain Group, the Xanth family..." Bella hadn't paid much attention to it, but she suddenly thought of the Lerain Group after returning to her room.

She heard Yosef mention that Eleanor had always wanted to expand their foreign business with the help of the Lerain Group.

Clover's concern for Rose meant that she wouldn't be easy to deal with even without Jonathan present. In that case, it was better to act sooner.
