Chapter 606 I Will Take Good Care of You
Harriette was referring to Carl.
Miles frowned instantly, as though worried that she might get hurt again.
However, Harriette immediately reassured him, "Don't worry, Miles. As long as you're by my side, he won't be able to hurt me again."
Miles thought for a moment, and his brows began to relax.
"Okay." Miles agreed for Harriette to meet Carl.
"Be good. I'll go visit Rose. She was scared last night too, but luckily nothing happened to her. Otherwise, her fate, as well as Jon's and Ezra's would be very different." Miles didn't hide his concern for Rose in front of Harriette.
"Go ahead, Miles. I'll visit her later today as well." Harriette said kindly.
The moment Miles left the office, the smile on her face instantly faded.
"Such a shame..." She sighed, lamenting at Rose's luck. It would be ideal for her if something had happened between Ezra and Rose in the greenhouse.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
If so, Rose would have never had the chance to be with Jonathan, and there wouldn't be so much commotion at the Young Group building today.
She thought about the thousands of gifts and the amount of money Jonathan had spent on Rose, and her jealousy drove her mad.
Consumed by her jealousy, Harriette carefully planned how to avoid Miles and meet with Carl.
What she didn't know was that as soon as Miles left the office, his usually calm and elegant demeanor was immediately replaced by a cold, ruthless expression. He quickly headed upstairs while telling Victor to prepare an outfit for him. Miles still had his old office in the building. In the office, there were always spare clothes in case he needed it.
He hugged "Harriette" and felt disgusted. If it weren't for needing to gain her trust, he wouldn't even bother to look at her.
He lowered his head and smelled the lingering scent of "Harriette" on him.
He frowned the whole time, and only after changing into a fresh outfit was he somewhat satisfied before heading to meet Rose.
When Miles arrived at Rose's office, she was in a discussion with Rachel about work. She was so focused that she didn't notice him entering the office.
Miles didn't disturb her. He quietly observed how seriously she worked, and a smile appeared on his face.
His eyes followed her. His gaze was filled with affection that he couldn't hide. Even he didn't realize that this affection was no longer romantic. It was purely platonic, familial love. "Mr. Miles..."
Rachel finally saw Miles.
"Miles!" Rose lifted her head. Her smile was bright and radiant, like the sun.
Rachel took the hint and left the office, giving them privacy.
"Are you getting used to the work?" Miles approached the office desk. Looking at how she handled her work, he already had his answer.
However, Rose answered differently from what he expected. "Absolutely not! I can't handle such a huge company on my own."
Rose truly wanted to return the Young Group to Miles. To her, even if she inherited it, the company still belonged to Miles. Young Group belonged to Miles. Of course, she wanted to return it to him. "I need rest," said Rose. Miles didn't want her to overwork herself.
But according to his plan, he needed to detach himself from the company for a while so that his enemies would let their guard down.
He had to wait till his enemies showed their true colors. After that, he would return to the company to help Rose.
"I... leave tomorrow." Miles looked at Rose.
Rose was shocked, as she hadn't expected it to be so soon. "Why so sudden?"
"It's not. I've planned it very early on. I've been working non-stop these past few years, and now I just want to relax. Rose..."
Miles paused. "Remember, I'll be by your side no matter what happens."
Rose took his words literally, not realizing there was another meaning behind it.
"Miles, have fun and come back soon." Rose held Miles's arm lovingly. "Miles, I'll send you off tomorrow."
"Okay."
That night, Rose returned to the Young estate, and the family had a meal together. The next morning, the Youngs all went to the airport to see Miles off.
"Miles, I'm gonna miss you after you leave!" Harriette looked at Miles affectionately. However, in her heart, she was thrilled to see Miles leave.
It was fantastic! She never expected Miles to go on vacation so soon. She had been worrying about how to avoid him, and now even fate seemed to be on her side.
Looking at Harriette's affectionate expression, Miles only responded with a smile. Though his expression was loving, his eyes remained cold.
"Then... should I skip my vacation?"
Harriette froze. "But you had it all planned, and you need to relax."
Miles responded, "Then how about you go with me?"
"What about Rose?" Harriette reacted quickly. There was no way she would go with him.
She had to take this opportunity while Miles was away. She had something more important to do.
"I'd be happy to join you for vacation, but leaving Rose alone at the company would be too much for her to handle. I should stay and help her out." Harriette grabbed Rose, looking concerned, as if they were real sisters.
Even Rose was taken aback.
Vels
When it came to Harriette, Rose always felt a strange sense of powerlessness. No matter how Harriette tried to act affectionately toward her, she always felt an invisible barrier between them. She found it hard to reciprocate Harriette's friendliness.
"Thank you, Etta." Rose was a little awkward.
"Don't mention it. We're family after all!" Harriette's voice was hoarse, but her smile was radiant.
Miles looked at both of them. In his deep eyes, a subtle and mysterious look flickered.
They then sent Miles off to the security check. From the beginning, Harriette and Rose were holding hands, while Anastasia, left out, silently observed.
In her eyes, Harriette's face wasn't Harriette's. Instead, it was Kelly's.
Kelly! Ever since she discovered that Harriette was actually Kelly, she had been observing her. She had to admit that Kelly was extremely talented in acting. Miles believed her, and Rose didn't notice anything odd either.
Rose...
"Rose, don't worry. I'll take care of you while Miles is on vacation." Harriette held onto Rose lovingly, but to Rose, that warmth was unbearably intense." Rose smiled politely. Then, she turned around and met Anastasia's gaze. Was it just her imagination?
She sensed a sense of sarcasm and sympathy.
Harriette also saw how Anastasia was looking at Rose. Naturally, she knew the meaning behind Anastasia's look. Was Anastasia trying to give Rose a hint? But... Harriette would never let that happen.
"Anastasia, you're my younger sister,
of course, I'll take good care of you
too,"
looking as if she was being a responsible older sister.
ette promised cheerfully,
But only she and Anastasia knew that what she meant by "taking care" wasn't actually taking care. Instead, it was a warning.
