Chapter 443 How Much He Loved Rose The pressure on her neck increased, and the gaze before her was filled with hatred. There was no conflict between Rose and Ezra, so why would there be any resentment? She deduced that he had mistaken her for someone else. "Ezra, look at me. It's me, Rose..." She squeezed out her words amid the chokehold.
Ezra visibly froze when he heard her name. The person before him was Rose, but the headache caused him to jolt his head. When he reopened his eyes, he saw the person he resented again.
"Give her back to me!" he yelled, resuming the force on her neck. His eyes even showed signs of murderous intent as he repeatedly mumbled, "You're a vicious woman. Give her back to me! Now!" Vicious woman? Give her back to him? Rose becmore confused at this point.
The air was thinning in her lungs, and she exerted great strength to pry open the fingers on her neck. However, she had underestimated his power.
Soon, the inevitable suffocation led her to unconsciousness. Amidst her weakness, she called out his name. "Jon... nathan..." Almost all of the paintings in the exhibition had sold out. In the gallery, Cyrus' birthday banquet officially commenced.
When Jonathan arrived, he saw Cyrus encircled by a group of guests in the center of the exhibition. Beside him was Lizzie, who was locking arms with him. Although the gap in their ages was very wide, they looked compatible nevertheless. "Mr. Finch, you're so lucky to have a wife like her. I heard Mrs. Finch has put a lot of effort into organizing this art exhibition." "That's right. You guys are the epitof love." Cyrus smiled in response, while Lizzie looked like a beloved wife beside him.

"Mr. Jonathan..." an unknowing person called out in shock.
Allegedly, Jonathan and Cyrus shared a poor father-and-son relationship. Back when Cyrus managed Finch Group, Jonathan had never shown up for his father's birthdays.
Despite stepping down, many still attended his birthday banquet this year. To their surprise, they got to see Jonathan! "Mr. Jonathan, what a pleasure to see you here. I'm..." "Mr. Jonathan, I'm sure you don't remember me, but we met..." "Mr. Jonathan..." Everybody rushed to meet the new ruler of Finch Group, who was rarely accessible, hoping to get a chance to introduce themselves.
All of a sudden, the original focus in the gallery, Cyrus, shifted to Jonathan. Just like the power of the Finch family, the Finch Group had long been under Jonathan's control.
Standing sdistance away, Yosef glanced at the encircled Jonathan and gritted his teeth. He was supposed to take over the company, but this young man had snatched his chance.
For most of his life, he had always been just the second choice. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he was.
He turned to his brother and bis sarcastically asked, "Hey, Cyrus. Your son sure is enjoying the limelight. I'm surprised he decided to show up for your birthday this year. Why didn't I know that you two have made up?" Regardless of whether it was in private or public, everyone knew the father and son were not close. They had never made up either.
Cyrus smiled faintly and looked toward his son among the mob, his gaze undecipherable. On his side, Lizzie's gaze landed on Jonathan as well.
"Cyrus, Jon must be here because of your birthday. I knew he always cared. What issue can there be between a father and son?" Her gentle smile and soft tone could convince anyone to believe she was the loving, amicable Mrs. Finch. Yet, only she knew why Jonathan was here today.
As expected, Rose held an important place in Jonathan's heart. But that didn't matter because she had fallen into Lizzie's trap.
The latter initially thought she would have to put more effort into luring her into the room. To her surprise, Rose entered the room after attempting to hide from Yara! Everything fell into place just as Lizzie wished. By then, it was a matter of whether she cout alive from Ezra's claws.
A dilemma awaited Jonathan. One was his younger brother, while the other was supposedly the love of his life. Lizzie couldn't wait to see how much he loved her. She secretly scoffed and tugged Cyrus' arm, advising gently, "Cyrus, since Jon is here, why don't we approach him? Con, let's go." She almost looked like she sincerely wanted the father and son to mend their broken bond, as if that was her plan the whole time. Naturally, Cyrus caressed her hand and gladly followed her to the crowd.
As the mob grew, Jonathan had had enough. "Get out of my way!" he piped up among the eager introductions. Everyone was startled. Similarly, Cyrus and Lizzie halted in their steps. Looking at Jonathan's darkened expression, the crowd finally realized they had pushed him to his limit.

Without any hesitation, Jonathan strode forward, his speed stunning Cyrus. He had never seen such ich an enthusiastic expression on his son in NO allong time. As Jonathan ccloser, Cyrus' smile widened. "Jo..." Cyrus had just uttered a syllable when Jonathan brushed past him.
The unfinished nand smile froze on his face.
Jonathan's steps quickened, and he O headed toward a random hallway, He grabbed hold of Miles, who had just arrived, and asked anxiously, "Where's Rose?" He glanced around and didn't see her.
The downcast Miles looked up and finally say Jonathan. He instantly grabbed Jonathan's hand- NO and said, "Rosie is gone. I searched the entire gallery and couldn't find her. She's not picking up her calls..." "You've searched every corner of this gallery?" Jonathan's worry increased. He looked back and scanned the crowd.
Knowing that Rose had chere to uncover Yvonne's perpetrator, he confirmed that Yosef and Jack were in his sight. Still, he couldn't relax his anxious heart.
Miles suddenly thought of something. "No. There's still a spot..." Ads by Pubfuture
