An Accident
Kelly had to meticulously strategize and organize those matters.
She absolutely couldn't allow the prestigious identity of the sole bloodline of the Young family, a position that could garner boundless favor, to face even the slightest threat. Kelly fixed her gaze on Chelsea, and the mother-daughter pair had always shared an unbreakable bond. Even though she didn't finish her words, Chelsea grasped her intention. Chelsea had already pondered this potential threat in her heart long ago. From the start, she chose Jamle for the wealth, for the promise of a comfortable life.
Before Celeste's passing, Jamie lavishly organized her life, ensuring she lived without any worries about finances.
After Celeste's demise, she promptly moved into the Shaffers' mansion, living the life of an affluent lady.
She now lived the prosperous life she longed for. However, she was aware that Kelly could continue climbing to greater heights.
Therefore, she wouldn't allow herself, and definitely wouldn't let Jamie, become stumbling blocks hindering Kelly's ascent.
Chelsea held Kelly's hand and smiled, saying, "Kelly, don't worry, I know what to do. Just focus on your duties at the Youngs, leave your dad's affairs to me!"
A trace of fierceness flashed in Chelsea's eyes. Kelly observed silently, refraining from saying too much. Deep inside, she knew her mother would surely prevent any trouble for her. Hence, when there were difficulties, her mother would willingly assist in removing them for her. Kelly stayed for quite a while before leaving, and Chelsea took the initiative to see her off. As Kelly was about to board the car, Chelsea hugged her tightly and said with a reluctant expression, Kelly, I'm happy you've found your true family. Don't worry about me, I have your dad." Patrick, who was nearby, observed and felt that Kelly was a kind and grateful person.
He confronted, "Ms. Kelly, don't worry. To show gratitude for Mr. and Mrs. Shaffer's care for you, Mr. Young has arranged a generous gift, and I believe it will be delivered soon. From now on, the Shaffers and the Youngs are family."
Patrick's face beamed with affection, yet he was unaware that the touching scene before him was nothing more than a performance staged by the mother and daughter.
Shortly after Kelly left, the purported generous gift arrived. The moment Jamie returned to the mansion, he was met with a room brimming with luxury-jewels, handbags, luxury watches, and more. "What is going on?"
Jamie's face was full of surprise, thinking that Chelsea had once again splurged on shopping.
He was planning to purchase some jewelry materials, and the company's accounts were already stretched thin.
An Accident
Jamie had recently advised Chelsea to cut down on expenses, but he hadn't anticipated her spending so lavishly once more.
He spoke with a touch of displeasure, and Chelsea looked visibly upset, almost as if she were about to cry, saying. "These things were all sent by Kelly." "Kelly?"
Jamie remembered that since Rose's welcome party, Kelly had been out enjoying time with friends. It had been quite a while, and she hadn't returned yet. Jamie inquired with concern, "How's Kelly doing out there?"
Regarding the matters about the Youngs, Chelsea, and Kelly had an unspoken agreement not to let Jamie know. Kelly's plan had been successful, and Chelsea was even more resolved to keep Jamie in the dark.
She poured a cup of tea for Jamie and spoke slowly, "She went through a divorce agreement with the Lane family, and her mood hasn't been great. Going out for some fresh air has lifted her spirits a lot. Oh, and by the way, has Rose contacted you recently?"
"Rose?" Jamie couldn't help but mutter when thinking of Rose. He grumbled, "Why bring her up? She's enjoying her abundant life now. It would be better if Mr. Young had chosen Kelly."
A barely discernible peculiarity flickered in Chelsea's eyes.
"Kelly has her blessings. Jamie, I've been having dreams these past few days. Dreams of Celeste's accident, and then I hear Rose's voice in my dreams, shouting for revenge
[
Celeste had always been a forbidden topic between them. Chelsea never brought it up on her own. The moment she did, Jamie's expression instantly turned serious
He interrupted her, "Revenge for what? Celeste's accident was purely accidental. Who would Rose seek revenge against?"
His loud voice frightened Chelsea.
Jamie realized he was getting a bit out of control, immediatel, lowered his voice, and softly comforted," Stop dwelling on these things. It was just an accident, and besides, it's been so many years since it happened."
"But..."
Chelsea was still full of unease. She frowned in worry and fear, and her heart ached in tandem.
Chelsea covered her chest and said, "But back then... do you forget when Rose shouted, asking us if her mother's accident was an accident? She has always been suspicious of her mother's death. I'm worried that if she discovers something, then..."
Her words stopped here as if she was afraid to continue.
The car crash seemed like an accident on the surface, but in truth, it was a carefully orchestrated man-made disaster, and they were more aware of it than anyone.
Chelsea's words also made Jamie's eyebrows furrow suddenly. All matters about the car accident from that year have been resolved. An Accident
After Celeste's car was struck, it plunged into the water. The rescue efforts were hindered by the ongoing stormy weather. When the car was discovered, Celeste was nowhere to be found. Only the body of the driver remained Inside the vehicle.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
It took several days of salvage operations to find Celeste in the sea, her body grotesquely bloated and unrecognizable.
Jamie went personally to identify the body. While the face couldn't be discerned, the attire on the corpse unmistakably belonged to Celeste.
After that incident, Jamie deliberately avoided dwelling on it. For many years, he immersed himself in everything Celeste left behind, feeling justified and at peace.
What was truly infuriating is that Celeste left a will at an undisclosed moment. The will explicitly declared that upon Rose's marriage, she would automatically inherit ownership of Celeste Jewels.
Jamie was grateful that he had plenty of matters to attend to, enough to the extent that he could drain Celeste Jewels, transforming it into his asset.
His expression turned fierce as he thought about the past. He didn't pay much attention to Rose, but at this moment, he also failed to observe the coldness in Chelsea's eyes.
Chelsea was scheming internally-Jamie was identified as a potential stumbling block for Kelly, while Rose posed a threat to Kelly.
If they didn't exist, Kelly's identity as the sole bloodline of the Youngs would be firmly established.
To preemptively address any potential future issues, she needed a strategy that hit two birds with one
stone.
Rose made it a routine to go to Celeste Jewels early every morning for several days in a row.
A significant portion of the staff resigned some time ago, but recent days, they've successfully recruited back about half of the
Rose didn't dwell much on the terminated contracts with business partners. Her mind was occupied with the latest batch of jewelry designs.
She only spent two days and managed to design a complete necklace set.
The new design was quickly released, but an hour later, she received a legal letter from Young's House of Jewels, accusing her of plagiarizing their work.
They presented their case meticulously and convincingly, but Rose only responded with a gentle smile. She knew best whose design it was.
She withdrew the released design, and the next day, she received termination notices from several material suppliers who had long-term collaborations with Celeste Jewels. They were so resolute in terminating the contract that they were even willing to pay the penalty for breach.

The entire industry was well aware that the once-dominant Rose had become the cast-off of the Youngs. 1
