Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 553 They Are All Her Family Harriette acted as if she couldn't bear the thought of Rose being taken away by someone else. If Miles stepped in and successfully stopped Rose, Rose would lose her connection to the Xanth family. Even if he failed, Miles' fury would probably be ignited, making it a win- Harriette reveled in her shrewd plan.

win situation.

As expected, Miles' expression grew darker by the second. Seeing him step forward, she tightened her grip on his wrist. "Miles, what are you going to do?" Miles lowered his gaze and patted her hand gently. Gradually, Harriette loosened her grip. Once he turned around and continued walking toward Rose, the feigned concern in her eyes disappeared, replaced by eager anticipation. She was waiting for Miles to intervene, but even more so for Rose's response.

At the moment, Elijah, Rose, and Clover were surrounded by a dense crowd offering congratulations. Even Eleanor seemed inclined to join in.

Just moments ago, Eleanor's focus had been solely on Elijah, but now her gaze was fixed on Rose, her eyes ignited with newfound intensity.

"That Rose..." she muttered under her breath, surprised by her own misjudgment. "I never expected her to be Elijah's daughter. It seems I underestimated her, but thankfully, Jonathan didn't." With Rose's newfound connection to the Xanth family, the Finch family's plan to expand into the overseas market now seemed like an opportunity handed to them on a silver platter.

As she watched the throng of people surrounding the three members of the Xanth family, Eleanor knew she was in no rush. Her priorities and intentions were clear, and Lizzie, who was standing beside her, understood them perfectly. Eleanor valued status and benefits above all else. Previously, she hadn't even considered Rose a potential granddaughter-in-law for the Finch family, but now things were different.

Even the prestigious Finch family of Regalia wouldn't dare to look down on the Xanth family, especially with the powerful Lerain Group behind them.

Lizzie glanced over at Jonathan, who was watching the scene with a soft, almost tender look in his eyes. Following his gaze, she wasn't surprised to find that it was fixed on Rose. "Rose... She really is something special," Lizzie murmured.

This statement would have sounded like a compliment to Rose if anyone else had heard it. But deep down, Lizzie left one crucial thought unsaid. "So special enough that I want her out of the way..." Just then, a voice resounded loud and clear amidst the congratulatory crowd. "Rosie..." The moment that voice rang out, it drew the attention of everyone present.

Miles' identity was widely recognized among the attendees. And now, everyone knew that the newly reunited Ms. Xanth was none other than the Young family's adopted granddaughter.

The crowd couldn't help but wonder what Miles was going to do in a situation like this. With Miles' grave expression, an uneasy tension settled among the onlookers. They feared his intentions weren't good. Sensing the impending trouble, Clover immediately stepped in front of Rose, adopting a protective stance. "Miles, I hope you're here to congratulate Rosie on finding her real father." His unwavering gaze served as an undeniable warning. He had always believed that accepting Rose as his sister put him on equal footing with Miles, with both being her brothers. However, things had changed now. Rose was his blood cousin and a genuine member of the Xanth family. Their bond was stronger and more intimate than the one she shared with Miles. Clover's growing sense of superiority wasn't lost on Miles, who suddenly gave a faint smile.

"Of course, I'm here to congratulate Rosie," he responded smoothly. "But that's not all..." He paused and turned to Rose, his gaze softening instantly. "Rosie, congratulations on finding your biological father and reconnecting with your family." The word "family" made Rose pause. She quickly stepped out from behind Clover and stood before Miles. "Miles, in my heart, you're also my family." Miles had been her family long before this revelation.

A content smile spread across Miles' face, and he shot Clover a smug look of triumph. However, he didn't dwell on his momentary victory.

"Rosie, Grandpa would've been overjoyed to see you reunite with your family," he said, his voice softening.

At the mention of their grandfather, the light in Rose's eyes dimmed slightly. "Would he really be happy?" Miles reassured her, "Of course he would. Not only would he be happy, but-" "Miles!" Harriette's hoarse voice cut through the air as she suddenly rushed forward.

Initially, she had anticipated that Miles' involvement would spark a conflict between him, the Xanth family, and Rose. However, to her dismay, the situation was not unfolding as she had expected.

Not only that, but the moment Miles referred to the late Oliver, Harriette felt an ominous premonition stirring within her. Fearing the possible consequences of his words, she hastily interrupted him.

nsed" Her sudden outburst made Miles frown in displeasure. Harriette sensed the shift in his mood but wasn't sure how to recover.

In her panic, she quickly grabbed at a flimsy excuse, masking her true intentions with false concern. "Miles, now that Rosie has found her biological family, will she leave us and return to the Xanth family?" QUMS "No." The firm response cnot from Rose but from Miles, and his tone was resolute as though the mere thought didn't concern him in the slightest.

The confident smile on his face only deepened Harriette's growing dread. She recalled the will she had seen in Miles' office drawer, and a sense of fear crept into her heart.

"Miles..." she muttered, abandoning her initial plan to sow discord between Miles and Rose.

All she desired now was to take Miles and leave before the situation could spiral further beyond her control. However, before she could figure out a way to make Miles leave, his voice resonated through the crowd.

"Mr. Xanth, congratulations on reuniting with your daughter. Since we're all gathered here today, may I take this opportunity to announce something as well?" Miles looked at Elijah with respectful deference like how one would an elder.

This was Elijah's second encounter with Miles. Yesterday, in Aurora Crest, Harriette had momentarily held Miles back when Rose was in danger. But even then, Elijah had noticed Miles' concern for Rose. As such, he felt grateful to the Young family for their care of Rose. With this in mind, he said warmly, "By all means, Mr. Young. The floor is yours." "Uncle Elijah..." Clover's displeasure was evident. He had barely opened his mouth when Elijah shot him a glance, silencing his protests.

Clover could only suppress his objections reluctantly and shift his focus back to Miles with a wary expression. Miles paid no heed to Clover's reaction. With a clap of his hands, a middle-aged man soon emerged from the crowd.

The moment Harriette saw him, her face drained of color, and she unwittingly uttered, "Mr. Kane..." She had met him once before back in Aquastead, Recognition also sparked within Rose. She too had met Mr. Kane on that fateful day in Aquastead as he had read Oliver's will just moments before his tragic demise.

At the moment, Mr. Kane was holding a stack of documents as he approached Rose amidst the curious gazes on the crowd. Fixing his gaze on Rose, he introduced himself. "Miss, I am the attorney of the late Mr. Young Senior."

No one noticed the mysterious undertone behind his choice of words when addressing Rose. After his brief introduction, Mr. Kane turned his gaze toward Miles as if seeking permission. "Mr. Young, may I proceed with the announcement?" "Please do, Mr. Kane." Miles gave a slight nod.
