When Harriette saw the look on Rose's face, she felt stirred up with even more excitement.

She was astonished, shocked, and even confused-all these emotions were present except for fear.

This made Harriette feel very dissatisfied. Why wasn't Rose afraid?

She wanted to instill fear in Rose and make her scared. She even wanted to watch her tremble all over, begging for mercy and pleading for her life... How could she be okay as though nothing was happening at all?

In the current situation, Carl has control over Rose. There was no chance Rose would be able to leave the psychiatric facility's warehouse today.

So, Harriette decided to stop pretending.

She faced Rose, whose eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions. With a gentle smile, she said, "I owe it all to you, Rose!"

She passed on Carl's message to Rose, doubling the irony.

"Harriette, you..." If Rose didn't understand by now, she had to really be clueless.

After Rose connected everything together, it became increasingly clear that today, and even before that, Harriette had been scheming and guiding her step by step into the current situation. But why?

Rose looked at Harriette and asked the question that had been on her mind, "Why?"

"Why?"

Harriette laughed wildly, making her face appear somewhat menacing. When the laughter abruptly stopped, she fixed her gaze on Rose, her eyes filled with a jealousy that was almost tangible.

"Because you're Rose, and despite your modest beginnings with at Aquastead, you somehow had the fortune of attracting Clover's favor, which led to reconnecting with your influential father and becoming the only daughter of the prestigious Xanth family. "Not only that, Mr. Young Senior left the entire Young family's estate to you. What's even more infuriating is that Miles actually let you inherit it!

"And then there's Jonathan..."

Harriette's eyes were filled with a growing madness as she screamed hoarsely at Rose, "He actually announced he was marrying you! Mrs. Finch... Why you? Why are you the one who gets to be Mrs. Finch!"

It should have been Kelly's. Everything should have rightfully belonged to her!

Rose looked at Harriette's current state and suddenly realized something. She never expected that she would attract so much envy and resentment.
