Chapter 80 Deliberately Provoking HerĀ
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.Ā
The two of them rarely interacted as Mandy had always looked down on her. However, after some consideration, she answered the call.Ā
āKelly, Iāve 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.āĀ
Mandy deliberately provoked her. In the past, at Nightfall Lounge, the plan to humiliate Rose was initiated by Maya.Ā
However, during Kellyās engagement ceremony today, Mandy realized that Maya was just a follower. The real target for Roseās humiliation was Kelly.Ā
As expected, Kelly couldnāt hide her jealousy and resentment as she said, āNixon and I truly love each. other. Rose is already married. How could she enter the Young family? Are you mistaken?āĀ
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.Ā
Suddenly, she overheard the disdainful voice of Mrs. Lane Senior.Ā
anyoneĀ
āCompared to Rose, Kelly is far inferior. Only you are deceived by her! Sheās just a dragāalong brought by a stepmother. Everything in the Shaffer family has nothing to do with her.āĀ
Kelly was taken abackĀ
Then, Nixonās voice came from behind, āGrandma, donāt worry. Kelly will bring a considerable dowry with her. Besides, I truly love her.āĀ
āHow much is love worth?ā Mrs. Lane Senior sneered disdainfully.Ā
She continued, āEven if she brings a considerable dowry, can it be worth as much as Celeste Jewels?ā When she had agreed to let Nixon pursue Rose back then, she had also seen the value of Celeste Jewels. āThe only heir to Celeste Jewels is Rose. As for Kellyshe snorted softly before returning to her room in her crutches.Ā
The disdain and contempt in her tone deeply penetrated Kellyās heart. She clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost drawing blood.Ā
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.Ā
āKelly, why are you coming downstairs? Didnāt I ask you to go rest forĀ
a while?āĀ
Kelly suddenly snapped back to reality. She concealed her sinister expression in an instant.Ā
Nixon, Iām 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?Ā
āWhat if something happens? The Shaffer family might be embarrassed if a scandal occurs. What shouldĀ

we do? I dare not tell Dad as Iām afraid that heāll be angry with Roseā¦āĀ
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.Ā
āKelly, donāt worry. You should go upstairs and rest for a while. Iāll go out for a moment. Nothing untoward will happen with Rose over there.āĀ
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 Jonathanās whereabouts.Ā
When he learned that Jonathan was also attending the celebration, he was taken aback. However, he then immediately felt excited.Ā
āRose, Iāll make sure you suffer a big loss tonight.āĀ
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.Ā
It wasnāt long before Evan approached. Miles was slightly surprised to see him.Ā
āWhereās Rose?ā he asked.Ā
He had always been careful and polite when it came to her, as he didnāt want to offend her in any way. However, Mandyās words just now affected him.Ā
Rose was not someone who sought to fawn on the social ladder, but he couldnāt guarantee that others. wouldnāt fall for her.Ā
Miles immediately recognized his vigilance as he answered, āShe fell into the swimming pool, so I had her temporarily wear my sisterās clothes.āĀ
He didnāt 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.Ā
However, for some reason, he didnāt want to leave: Hence, the two of them stood in the corridor outside the room, waiting for Rose to come out.Ā
