Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Replace Rose

The force even caused Kelly to stagger. If Chelsea hadn't quickly caught her, Kelly would have fallen to the ground.

Kelly had never expected that Chloe would resort to physical force. It completely caught her off guard.

"Mrs. Lane Senior, how could you..."

Chelsea felt sorry for her daughter. Chloe, thinking about the news brought by Hayden early in the morning, couldn't care less about anyone's feelings.

She saw Kelly in a daze and immediately reached out to grab her wrist.

"Kelly, where is Nixon?"

Kelly's face was burning with pain. She shook off Chloe's hand indignantly.

"I don't know!"

Those cold, indifferent words were Kelly's polite response to Chloe.

But in the next moment, Chloe stared at her for a full thirty seconds. Under that gaze, Kelly felt a tingling on her scalp. Suddenly, Chloe knelt in front of her. Kelly, Maya, and Chelsea couldn't conceal their astonishment.

Chelsea was about to ask Chloe when she cried out, "Kelly, please tell me where Nixon is! We must find him immediately, or the Lanes will be in trouble!"

Kelly was quiet. What did Chloe mean? She had wanted to say that she had nothing to do with what would happen to the Lanes. Perhaps no one could bring down the Lanes.

Suddenly, she thought of Jonathan and shivered. A bad premonition suddenly emerged in her mind.

"Mrs. Lane Senior, what do you mean?" Kelly cautiously asked.

Chloe softened her expression. Under immense pressure, her appearance revealed her age.

"The Finches suddenly announced sanctions against all of the Lanes' industries. We know how powerful the Finches are. With a single word from the Finches, the entire Lanes' businesses will disappear overnight."

"But the Finches and the Lanes had some relationship before. How could they suddenly impose sanctions

for no reason?"

"Lonly heard that it's because of Nixon..."

Chloe said and suddenly grabbed Kelly's hand again.

"Kelly, please tell me where Nixon is! Did he cause any trouble? Perhaps we could only save the Lanes by finding him!"

-At this point, Kelly and Maya finally realized something Last night, Nixon took Rose away. Things

probably didn't turn out as planned.

However, Chelsea couldn't understand. If it was because of Rose, the Finches' sanctions against the

Lanes would be a joke. That was simply impossible.

Looking at Chloe's miserable appearance, Maya wanted to tell her about Nixon's whereabouts. But as soon as she opened her mouth, Kelly glanced at her. That warning gaze made her stop herself. Kelly pursed her lips, looking helpless, "Mrs. Lane Senior, I don't know where Nixon is. I haven't been in contact with him for a long time."

Before last night, Kelly had intentionally distanced herself from Nixon.

Chloe had also sensed this from Nixon's recent behavior. Hayden had asked all of Nixon's friends but none of them knew where Nixon had gone. They could only think of Kelly .... "Do you not know?"

Chloe stared into Kelly's eyes. The 'sincerity' in Kelly's eyes didn't seem fake. Chloe instantly deflated.

Since Kelly didn't know, there was no need for Chloe to continue pretending to be pitiful. Wiping away the tears on her face, she didn't even glance at Kelly.

Chloe just turned around and walked out of the Shaffer residence. She walked with her back straight, that high and mighty old lady who was still full of disdain for Kelly.

Once she disappeared from view, Kelly immediately pulled Maya upstairs to her room.

After closing the door, Kelly warned Maya, "Remember, what happened last night has nothing to do with us. If we're discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable."

If Jonathan had found out about last night, even if Nixon didn't succeed, the consequences would be dire

Fortunately, Kelly had thought that Jonathan might find out the truth. Therefore, even when she contacted Nixon yesterday, she didn't use her phone number.

Even if Nixon accused her, she could deny it. As for Maya...

Kelly stared at the flabbergasted Maya and said, "Maya, if you were caught on the surveillance camera at the bar last night, everything might be exposed. Go abroad and hide for a while." Maya's head buzzed with too many questions.

"Kelly, is it really necessary?"

"If you don't want to die then it's necessary!"

Kelly's gaze was sharp. Under that gaze, Maya also felt a trace of fear. After hesitating for a while, Maya decided to follow Kelly's advice.

"Okay, I'll go abroad for a vacation."

As soon as Maya left, Chelsea hurriedly went upstairs and entered Kelly's room.

"Kelly, what's going on? Chelsea asked anxiously.

Kelly sat on the sofa expressionlessly. At that moment, she was thinking if Nixon had succeeded last night. If he had succeeded, even if Jonathan found out it would have been too late for Rose. That was enough for her. She believed that Jonathan would not want a woman who, had been tarnished.

Seeing that Kelly was quiet, Chelsea asked again, "I am asking you what happened to Nixon?"

As Kelly came back to her senses, she smiled.

"It doesn't matter, does it? Even if something happened to him, it had nothing to do with me. By the way, had Angelica agreed to our proposal?"

When they met with Angelica last time, they had managed to find out about Celeste. Kelly had another plan in mind.

If Angelica would cooperate with her, she would be able to replace Rose. By then, she would be part of the Youngs. Even Anastasia would have to listen to her.

Angelica said she would think about the plan, but her motive was just about the money.

"Angelica wanted a large sum of money, I'm afraid..." Chelsea said with a frown.

"How much?"

"One billion..."

Chelsea felt that Angelica was asking for too much. Kelly was shocked. However, comparing one billion to the Youngs, she felt that it was worth it.

She decided that this transaction had to be done.

"You can tell her, we will pay the one billion. But I want to discuss the matter further with her."

Even if she didn't have one billion now, she would find a way. Thinking about being part of the Youngs, Kelly felt excited.

Meanwhile, at Zenwood Gardens... Rose woke up and felt the wet pillow. She had a dreamless night, but when she opened her eyes, Nixon pinched her chin. A wave of fear overcame her. Her heart was beating rapidly.

"It was nothing," she calmed herself.

The pain in her mouth was piercing. So Rose got off the bed and went to the bathroom to reapply some medicine. When her gaze fell on the chair by the door, she was stunned slightly.

Last night, before falling asleep, she knew that her star escort husband was sitting in the chair even if he didn't make a sound. But now, the chair was empty.

Rose smiled at herself mockingly, "It's good that he left."NôvelDrama.Org © content.
