Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 569 Adding Fuel to the Fire

Miles shook his head with a doting smile. "You really are a handful." Then, just as Harriette wished, he went over to her side and opened the car door for her.

"That's more like it," Harriette said with satisfaction, playing up her cheerful and coy demeanor. Yet, her mind was elsewhere, wondering what was happening at the main entrance of Young Estate that would make Miles take such an unprecedented detour through the back gate.

Upon arriving at the main hall with the others, she excused herself to change and retreated to her room, where she immediately made a phone call.

The person on the other end was a helper of Young Estate, whom Harriette had recently bribed.

She instructed the helper to uncover what was happening at the estate's main entrance. Soon, she received her answer.

"It seems like Mrs. Finch Senior has come. I went to see for myself, and there was indeed a luxurious car parked outside.

"Apparently, she's here to see Ms. Rose and has been waiting since early this morning. It looks like she has no intention of leaving any time soon," the helper explained.

Harriette glanced out the window at the darkened sky. "Eleanor... What could she possibly want with Rose?" she mused.

Suspecting that Eleanor was drawn to Rose's increasing social status, Harriette gritted her teeth in frustration. She reckoned that the elderly woman must have taken an interest in Rose as a granddaughter-in-law. Biting her lip, she quickly decided that she couldn't allow the two to meet. But then, a different thought crossed her mind.

"If Miles is going to such lengths to keep Eleanor and Rose apart, why not do the opposite? After all, if Eleanor seeking out Rose was truly a good thing, why is Miles going to such lengths to prevent it?" she thought. "Interesting," Harriette muttered, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Without wasting another second, she quickly changed and headed downstairs. She arrived just in time to hear the sound of Rose and Miles' laughter coming from the dining room.

In the warm, gentle light, the two of them sat together, painting a picture of perfect harmony. The sight of their closeness made Harriette clench her fists in jealousy.

Just then, a commotion came from outside, and she raised an eyebrow.

"Is she here?" she wondered.

"Miles, what's happening out there?" Harriette asked as she made her way downstairs.
