Chapter 516 Get Back What Was Hers Had she returned earlier, she would've seen Oliver before he passed. But... why didn't she? A look of sadness brimmed in Harriette's eyes. "Whether it's around Grandpa or the Young family, there's no place forto stick around." Back then, they rarely made any public appearances. Many knew of the Young family heiress and that there was only one of her. While Harriette used to hold that position, the Youngs kept that information from the public after what happened that year. Without her, Anastasia becthe heiress of the Young family in succession. At that thought, Harriette revealed a bitter smile.
Feeling extrheartache, Miles suddenly regretted his question. "Sorry, Harriette. I shouldn't have asked. Back then..." It had been a long time. Back then, everything seemed to confirm Harriette's death. However, he didn't believe it and continued searching for her traces.
Yet, one day, Anastasia barged into a party where Oliver was at. At the event, she saved a highly esteemed socialite.
When the socialite inquired about her identity, a flustered Anastasia blurted that she was the Young family heiress.
It was precisely that event that brought Anastasia to the public eye. Since then, she had repeatedly explained that it was an accident and that she had been too panicked in that situation that she gave such a response. However, Miles knew she had waited for that moment all along. With Harriette's disappearance, she took the chance and announced herself as the Young family heiress.

I cback simply because I missed Grandpa... a lot." "Harriette!" Miles frowned, refusing to listen to such words. He looked at her long face and solidified the decision he had made long ago.
He held her hand. "Now that you're back, you should stay. It tookso long to find you. Grandpa would've been elated to know you're back. As for the others..." He narrowed his gaze and seemingly made a promise. "Whatever was yours, I'll get it back for you." Whatever was hers... Harriette's gaze brightened briefly but soon reverted to her initial look of indifference. She didn't respond because she knew what he meant by that.
Feeling Miles' care and remorse, she found herself somewhat intrigued. If he realized there was more to what she felt she deserved, would he get them back for her too? She soon had an answer-yes! Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She looked forward to what was to come... Inside the auction venue, Rose becbored as she watched each item getting auctioned off. She couldn't leave until she discovered Kelly's traces from Anastasia, who sat in the front row. As such, she could only wait. She planned to get sfresh air when Miles returned to his seat.
"Miles." "Rosie." He stroked her head affectionately, his warm smile a stark contrast to his expression earlier. It was as if he freed all his strangeness from earlier after returning from outside.
What happened to him outside? Rose glanced curiously at the door.
Following that, Miles' excitement beccontagious as Rose couldn't help but notice his constant gazing in a direction.
She followed his line of sight and saw someone. It was her-the woman who helped her outside and bid against her just now! Harriette still had on her sunglasses at that moment.
Initially, Rose thought she was looking at her. Gradually, she realized she was looking at Miles instead! Not only that, but Rose could also distinctly see the warm smile they flashed at each other. Recalling the previous night, she suddenly had an epiphany.
By then, she was almost confident that the woman in sunglasses was Miles' "old acquaintance"! An ex- girlfriend... perhaps? Examining their eye contact, Rose becincreasingly certain of her guess. The auctioning onstage was suddenly tossed into oblivion.
She sat quietly by his side and delightfully enjoyed the scene. Her blatant observation quickly caught Miles' notice.
Rose didn't conceal her excitement either and raised her brows. "Aren't you going to introduceto someone, Miles?" Miles recalled his promise to Harriette earlier. "Yeah. I will later." Not only to Rose but to everybody! Then, he glanced at Hariette again. He becmore resolute in his decision when he thought of all the possible grievances she had experienced during her disappearance. "Alright!" Rose was full of anticipation. Thanks to Miles, she then looked at the woman with an added hint of friendliness.
She continued admiring their interaction while waiting for the auction to end. Of course, a certain someone wouldn't let her off so easily.

The item's owner is none other than the organizer of today's charity auction, the Young family heiress, Ms. Anastasia Young!" Hearing Anastasia's nfrom the auctioneer pulled Rose's focus back to the stage. Similarly, Miles' expression shifted when hearing her title.
On the other hand, Harriette looked at her replacement and saw her donning a black and white gown-the scolor combination as hers. How coincidental! Anastasia gradually made her way to the stage with elegance, acting like how a real heiress would. Harriette took it in and smiled, murmuring, "Long tno see... Anastasia!" On stage, Anastasia weirdly felt a chill. When she looked into the crowd, she received all sorts of admiring gazes.
She had just received news that Jonathan was on his way to them auction As expected, he would do anything to be here as long as Rose was.
She was incredibly jealous of how Rose could win his heart, yet shen couldn't afford to let envy control her. After all, she had more important things to do now. Faced with anticipating gazes, Anastasia smiled gently. "Thank you everybody for attending the charity auction today. Actually, I have a personal motive when organizing this event as well.
to "I'm divorced. As of now, I remain only as the Young family heiress. As for any new titles in the future... Well, I look forward to it!"
Her announcing her relationship status and the ambiguous statement at the end led sto think of her entanglement with Jonathan. "Do you mean a new identity as Mrs. Finch? X
