The handsome ruler of Finch Group and the stunning heiress of the Young family stood side by side, looking utterly compatible to the eyes of the audience.

The way she looked at him was full of affection, and even the auctioneer felt like she was third-wheeling. After placing the ring into Anastasia's hand, she quickly descended the stage. With that, the two stood onstage, fueling the ambiguity in the air. Anastasia almost couldn't contain her excitement. She held the ring and couldn't help but think of the plan she had concocted to provoke Rose.

She initially wanted to sow discord between Rose and Jonathan, but at that moment, she desired more. She wished she could freeze time and stand by Jonathan's side forever, accepting the praising and admiring gazes as they did now. Only she deserved to be with him! "Aren't you going to give that to me, Ms. Young?" Jonathan piped up, piercing the silent yet ambiguous air.

The way he urged her sounded like he couldn't wait to get the ring. But what would he do after he received it? Would he return it to Anastasia as a gift in front of everyone? Yes, that had to be it! The crowd became increasingly excited.

Jonathan's reminder pulled Anastasia back to reality. She handed the ring, together with its exquisite box, to him with a smile. Knowing Rose was watching, she gazed at him even more affectionately.

As expected, Rose felt her heart clenching at that moment. Even Clover couldn't help but stand up.

Meanwhile, Jonathan retrieved the ring box from Anastasia and closely appraised the ring. "What a ring," he complimented.

"Jonathan..." Clover growled.

Before he could say more, Jonathan interrupted him. "Too bad..." He sighed and shook his head.

Too bad? What went wrong?

The crowd couldn't comprehend him. Despite that, they still firmly believed that Jonathan would give the ring to Anastasia by putting it on her finger.
