Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 533 A Foreboding Thought "Miles..." Harriette smiled. It was best to act casual in that scenario. She believed Miles wouldn't suspect anything, given his feelings for "Harriette". As expected, he didn't find her sitting at his desk strange. "Are you hungry? It's tfor lunch. Let's go." Miles reciprocated her smile.

"Right on time! I'd like to try what you always eat!" She cheerfully ran toward him and unreservedly linked arms with him. Then, the two left the office.

The phone continued ringing unattended in the office. It wasn't until they returned from lunch that Harriette rushed into the office and saw the many missed calls on the phone.

"Miles... I'm sorry. I forgot about this..." Harriette seemed apologetic.

Miles reacted calmly and affectionately. "What's there to be sorry about? It's just a few missed calls. Don't worry about it." He grabbed the phone, knowing that not many knew his private number. When he saw multiple missed calls from the snumber, he knew it was probably important and promptly returned the call.

The originally calm Miles shifted his expression after hearing the hospital director's words. "Cagain?" "I thought you knew, Mr. Miles..." How would he know? His first reaction was to find Rose after the call, but Harriette stopped him. "Miles, is this about Rosie?" He frowned, refusing to say anything.

"Oh, right. Rosie did call just now, but I forgot about it.and my memory! She said she feels uneasy having you look after her all the time. Now that she has a new brother-a family-she believes Mr. Xanth can take over the role to save you the hassle!" Harriette's words undoubtedly angered Miles. What did she mean by a new brother and family? Wasn't he a family to her too? Why was he considered nobody when Clover cinto the picture? He had to confront her about this! With that in mind, Miles turned around and was ready to leave. However, Harriette suddenly gasped in pain. Halting in his steps, he turned around only to see her painful expression. "What's wrong, Etta?" "I'm... fine. It's just a stomachache. It's an old issue I've had for a while. I bet it's the ice cream from earlier. I'm fine, Miles. It'll get better soon." Her look of agony rendered him concerned. "Weren't you going to see Rosie? Go on. I'll be fine by myself," she said thoughtfully. She forced a smile to comfort Miles, but her excruciating expression only made him more worried.

"How could I leave you here? I'll take you to the hospital." He quickly went up to her.

In reality, Harriette was faking her pain. "That's not necessary, Miles. Go check on Rosie, quick." Stuck at a crossroads, Miles hesitated briefly and chose Harriette over Rose. "Let's go to the hospital!" Despite her visible reluctance, Harriette couldn't resist his insistence. After all, she would be exposed for faking her pain once she arrived at the hospital.

Just as she pondered how to get out of this, the assistant, Victor Hughes, called to inform Miles of a seemingly pressing matter on their way to the hospital. "Mr. Miles, please drop by soon. Mrs. Yones..." He was talking about Chloe.

Amid Miles' dilemma, Harriette spoke. "Miles, it's the hospital right in front. I'll head in myself. You should go resolve your matters. You know how important the company is." Indeed, company matters were imperative at that stage as they affected the overall well-being of the Young family empire.

During this period, Miles had been working hard to consolidate all decision-making power over every asset of the Young family into his own hands. That way, he could ensure everything was passed on to Rose, per Oliver's will. Now that the crucial moment had arrived, he couldn't afford any mistakes. "Okay." Miles left after leaving Harriette outside the hospital.

As the luxury car slowly disappeared from view, Harriette revealed a look of menace. Since Oliver's passing, the Young family had been plunge into a whirlwind of inheritance disputes. As of then, Miles had consolidated the majority of the Youngs' assets.

When Harriette recalled the will she found in the drawer, she had a foreboding thought. Was Miles intending to execute Oliver's will and transfer all of the Young family assets to Rose? Had he found out about Rose's true identity? Those assumptions gradually becmore plausible by the minute. Her face darkened at that moment. After all the sacrifices to transform into Harriette, how could she watch the Youngs' inheritance slip away from her under her nose? "No! No way on earth!" She slowly calmed down from her panic and fished out her phone to dial a number. After two rings, the call connected. Lizzie's voice sounded over the receiver. "What's up?" "Madam, I..." Harriette becextremely humble when faced with Lizzie, even sounding cautious when suggesting, "Can you... eliminate Rose?" With no one around, Lizzie raised her brows and scoffed. "Oh? Are you that eager to kill her off? Looks like you still fall short of her even with a new identity."

As much as Harriette hated that notion, she couldn't refute Lizzie's words. She had hidden Rose's true identity from Lizzie and decided to keep it that way. "Please help me, madam!" "Help you? Don't you forget about Jonathan in the picture!" Jonathan? Harriette shuddered in fear when recalling the the apprehended her in Aquastead. She knew the grave danger she would face if he ever linked Rose's death to them.

Despite her disappointment, Harriette was reluctant to sit back and do nothing. If Miles actually executed and transferred all the Oliver's will and will assets to Rose, her identity would inevitably be publicized then.

"However, there's still a way to do it.

You can simply get someone to do your dirty work," Lizzie suddenly suggested.

The initially downcast Harriette immediately perked up. "You mean..." She was delighted by the idea, which could conveniently scrape her from the list of suspects and save her from Jonathan's vengeance. "But... who's doing the dirty work?" Lizzie was her only comrade in Regalia. Lizzie wore a gentle smile, but her gaze was cold. "That's none of your concern. All you need to do... is cooperate." Although Rose hadn't been in Regalia long, she had made plenty of enemies. Gazing at the person helping Eleanor in the garden, Lizzie suddenly revealed a sinister smile.
