Chapter 477 His Guest "Mrs. Finch Senior, I met a veteran actor during my shoot, and he loves saffron crocus. He's very well-versed in them.
"He spent a lot of effort nurturing this lilac one. I had to convince him until he reluctantly parted with it. "Also, these Kadupul flowers are part of a botanist's personal collection. It was one of his precious babies. And this..." Yara aimed to impress Eleanor, looking like she was presenting treasures.
Since the day she and Jonathan bec"entangled" at the hotel, Eleanor becextremely indifferent toward her. She had been looking for a chance to change Eleanor's impression of her, so she had cprepared by learning all her interests.
After multiple attempts, she finally received Eleanor's invitation to attend the Finch family's banquet. Coincidentally, she had prepared these plants in advance and brought them tonight.
Looking at how Eleanor examined the flowers, Yara knew she had it in the bag. As expected, Eleanor had an added hint of adoration in her eyes when looking at her. "You sure know the way to my heart!" As she said that, she saw a figure passing by the garden and heading straight into the building... alone. She frowned. "Jon..." Jonathan didn't want to participate in the garden scene. However, he had no choice but to return to the garden when he heard Eleanor's voice.
The incoming poised and upright figure rendered Yara's heart racing. This man, notwithstanding his identity, was enough to make one fall for him with his appearance. She deserved to have a man like him! Yet, he had never spared her a glance. Jonathan arrived before Eleanor and greeted her. "Grandma." She glanced behind him. "Didn't I tell you to bring a guest? Hm?" He didn't reply to her question. "Grandma, I have great news." Great news? Eleanor stared at him briefly and instantly knew that this "great news" was aimed at suppressing her anger. Did he care so much about Rose that he shielded her from facing her wrath? She lowered her eyelids. "I assit's the ultimate great news then." "So... Shall we talk at the study?" Eleanor didn't refuse and told the helpers to serve Yara well before leaving with Jonathan.

Aside from Anastasia, Bella was the last to arrive. She didn't want to attend initially. After all, her son was still in lockup, and she was too troubled to enjoy a banquet.
When she heard from Yosef that Jonathan was involved in Jack's incident, she knew what it meant. Even without concrete evidence, she deduced that Rose was the one who had bashed Jack! She almost wanted to confront Rose, regardless of whether it meant killing her or not. However, Yosef's slap sent her back to reality.
He said confronting Rose would only further anger Jonathan, seeing how he had protected her. Besides, Jack was still in the lockup.
During the last 24 hours, Yosef had used all his connections to bail him out, but it was futile. He crashed the items in his house to lash out, while Bella... couldn't take it anymore.
Whatever it took, she needed to get Jack out. As such, she showed up to the banquet.
"Mrs. Finch Senior said Mr. Jonathan was supposed to bring a guest. What did she mean?" Yara had been curious and guessing while in the garden. When she arrived at the tea room, she decided to ask Bella and Lizzie. "Is Jon bringing a guest?" Lizzie seemed shocked, as if clueless about that information.
Yara glanced emotionlessly at her. When faced with Lizzie, she wasn't as enthusiastic as with others. Although she was Cyrus' wife, Yara heard that Jonathan disliked her. As such, she naturally paid no heed to her since that was the case for her future husband, Jonathan She deliberately inched closer to Bella. "Aunt Bella, do you know who Mr. Jonathan is bringing?" "How would I know?" Bella thought. She was already troubled enough to begin with, so her tone was stiff and cold. "I don't know." Her response made Yara slightly awkward. To ease the atmosphere, she shifted her attention to a helper nearby, looking arrogant.
"You must know who Mr. Jonathan is bringing!" She raised her chin and gaze with a mighty attitude. "Hurry up and tell me! That way, I can prepare beforehand and host the guest!" She behaved like the lady of the house with the way she spoke and acted. This left the helper in an awkward position.
|| || "What are you stuttering for? Answer me!" Yara grew impatient.
Her aggressive demeanor made the helper nervous. After all, how could she reveal such supposedly confidential information to an outsider? Still, she knew she couldn't offend the guest. As such, she humbly lowered her head in apology.
"I'm... unsure. Sorry, Ms. Maize..." Naturally, Yara wouldn't let that slide. "You don't know who your boss is hosting? Do you even work here?" "Ms. Maize..." "Enough!" Bella had no choice but to stop Yara despite her already frustrated state.
"Aunt Bella..." Yara was displeased that she had been stopped. Bella am glared harshly at hex and dismissed the helper. She wanted to lecture Yara to act more humble right then but saw Lizzie's anticipated gaze. Bella's face darkened, and she seized Yara's wrist.

Having been dragged away by Bella, she could only leave the tea room with her. When they arrived at am empty area, she flung Bella's hand away. "What are you doing?" "That's my question for you!" Bella chided. "You're not even married to Jonathan, yet you're already acting like it.
People will see you as a joke!" Yara recalled her actions earlier and thought she had indeed been obnoxious. But still...
"I ought to be his wife sooner or later. Isn't it normal to question a helper?" She rolled her eyes. "If they dare to mock me, I'l|—" "You're not married to Jonathan, Yara!" Bella unhesitantly cut her off.
"I..." Yara's face stiffened. She eagerly wanted to refute but was glared at by Bella.
"If Eleanor or Jonathan had seen you earlier, did you think they'd like you still? You're an actress who's m supposed to be good at acting. What's wrong with you today?" What went wrong? Well, of course, it was because she had won Eleanor's heart earlier! Yara looked smug. Peter Grill CH/F-PSE X
