Chapter 80 Deliberately Provoking Her 
At Lane residence, Kelly had just endured the scrutiny and provocations from Mrs. Lane Senior. Her heart. was filled with frustration. Her phone suddenly rang, and it showed that the caller was Mandy. 

The two of them rarely interacted as Mandy had always looked down on her. However, after some consideration, she answered the call. 
“Kelly, I’ve got some good news for you. Your sister, Rose, was quite impressive tonight. She even managed to captivate Mr. Young. Congratulations to the two of you! You just got engaged to Nixon, and Rose might get engaged to Mr. Young soon.” 
Mandy deliberately provoked her. In the past, at Nightfall Lounge, the plan to humiliate Rose was initiated by Maya. 
However, during Kelly’s engagement ceremony today, Mandy realized that Maya was just a follower. The real target for Rose’s humiliation was Kelly. 
As expected, Kelly couldn’t hide her jealousy and resentment as she said, “Nixon and I truly love each. other. Rose is already married. How could she enter the Young family? Are you mistaken?” 
With that, she hung up her phone. Her heart was burning with anger and envy. She dared not tell that Rose had married Mr. Finch. She bit her lip and went downstairs. 
Suddenly, she overheard the disdainful voice of Mrs. Lane Senior.

“Compared to Rose, Kelly is far inferior. Only you are deceived by her! She’s just a drag–along brought by a stepmother. Everything in the Shaffer family has nothing to do with her.” 
Kelly was taken aback 
Then, Nixon’s voice came from behind, “Grandma, don’t worry. Kelly will bring a considerable dowry with her. Besides, I truly love her.” 
“How much is love worth?” Mrs. Lane Senior sneered disdainfully. 
She continued, “Even if she brings a considerable dowry, can it be worth as much as Celeste Jewels?” When she had agreed to let Nixon pursue Rose back then, she had also seen the value of Celeste Jewels. “The only heir to Celeste Jewels is Rose. As for Kellyshe snorted softly before returning to her room in her crutches. 
The disdain and contempt in her tone deeply penetrated Kelly’s heart. She clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost drawing blood. 
Why did Rose have everything she wanted? From Nixon to Mr. Finch, to Celeste Jewels. When she was deeply absorbed in her resentment and greed, she was interrupted by Nixon. 
“Kelly, why are you coming downstairs? Didn’t I ask you to go rest for 
a while?” 
Kelly suddenly snapped back to reality. She concealed her sinister expression in an instant. 
Nixon, I’m just a little worried about Rose. Maya mentioned that she went to the National Jewelry Design Award celebration. It was hosted by Mr. Young. Is it possible that she went there because of him? 
“What if something happens? The Shaffer family might be embarrassed if a scandal occurs. What should

we do? I dare not tell Dad as I’m afraid that he’ll be angry with Rose…” 
She spoke with apparent concern, and she even began to feign tears. As Nixon noticed something peculiar, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. 
“Kelly, don’t worry. You should go upstairs and rest for a while. I’ll go out for a moment. Nothing untoward will happen with Rose over there.” 
He tried to comfort her and sent her upstairs. Then, he hurriedly left Lane residence. The first thing he did after leaving was to make a phone call to confirm Jonathan’s whereabouts. 
When he learned that Jonathan was also attending the celebration, he was taken aback. However, he then immediately felt excited. 
“Rose, I’ll make sure you suffer a big loss tonight.” 
He gnashed his teeth in anger. After learning the address of the celebration, he immediately drove there. At the celebration, Miles waited for Rose outside after escorting her to a room on the second floor. 
It wasn’t long before Evan approached. Miles was slightly surprised to see him. 
“Where’s Rose?” he asked. 
He had always been careful and polite when it came to her, as he didn’t want to offend her in any way. However, Mandy’s words just now affected him. 
Rose was not someone who sought to fawn on the social ladder, but he couldn’t guarantee that others. wouldn’t fall for her. 
Miles immediately recognized his vigilance as he answered, “She fell into the swimming pool, so I had her temporarily wear my sister’s clothes.” 
He didn’t mention Jonathan. He had always known that Evan loved Ms. Flora. As a good friend, he should leave at a time like this to provide the opportunity and time to him. 
However, for some reason, he didn’t want to leave: Hence, the two of them stood in the corridor outside the room, waiting for Rose to come out.
