Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 526 Making Him Angry

Miles was momentarily stunned as he tried to process Harriette's words. "You've met before? How did I not know about this?" he asked, clearly surprised.

"We met at the entrance. I didn't know you were Miles' sister then and earlier during the bidding..." Harriette turned to Rose with an apologetic expression. "I got carried away when I heard the suit belonged to Grandpa. "I'm so glad it ended up with you. Otherwise, I would have felt truly guilty. Would it be all right if I called you 'Rosie'?"

Harriette's gaze held warmth and sincerity, leaving Rose unable to refuse. "Of course."

She blinked away the lingering shock and returned Harriette's smile. "Actually, I should be the one thanking you for your help at the entrance earlier." Rose's gratitude was heartfelt, but the unfamiliarity between them still hung in the air. After all, they had only met twice.

However, Harriette closed that distance in an instant, stepping forward and taking Rose's hand. "No need to thank me! If anything, I should be thanking you." "Thank me?" Rose thought, confused.

Before she could process Harriette's words, she found herself wrapped in a warm embrace. Harriette's raspy voice whispered in her ear, "Thank you, Rosie.

"I felt an immediate connection the moment I saw you, but I never expected you to also be Miles' sister. Thank you for being there for him and Grandpa while I was gone."

Rose stood frozen for a moment. Despite Harriette's seemingly warm embrace and expressions of gratitude, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, making her uneasy.

She tried to find the hidden meaning in Harriette's words, but there was nothing to latch onto. She wondered if she was simply being too sensitive.

"Etta..." Rose uttered the name for the first time, intending to acknowledge her appreciation. However, someone else interrupted before she could continue.

"Ms. Young, since you've expressed your gratitude, don't you think it's time to let go of my sister?" Clover's voice was sharp and unmistakably unfriendly.

Harriette hesitated before quickly releasing Rose from the embrace. "I'm sorry. I just felt such a connection when I saw you, so I..."
