Chapter 82 Exposing Her True Colors
Rose was so shocked that she blurted out. Though her voice was low, Evan and Miles still heard it.
“Cough…”
“Cough….”
Both of them slightly hesitated before they covered their mouths and coughed, smiling lightly to help conceal her shock. At this moment, all Rose could see were the endless zeroes behind the five.
While she was the heiress of Celeste Jewels, she hadn’t received a single penny from her family after graduating. She had been financially tight ever since she paid for her star escort husband.
Now, with an unexpected 500 million, she was on the brink of blurting it out in excitement.
Miles observed her with an increasingly gentle gaze as he asked, “Ms. Shaffer, don’t you want to say something?”
His reminder brought her back to reality. She finally noticed that everyone was looking at her.
She chuckled as she raised her phone and said, “Money… a lot of it. I like it!”
Her words left everyone speechless. After all, who wouldn’t like that huge amount? In the backyard, even though they were quite far apart, Jonathan saw the sparkle in Rose’s eyes.
“A money–lover!”
She’s so into money yet didn’t hesitate to spend ten million to marry him. He couldn’t help but laugh softly at the thought.
Suddenly, a man’s sharp voice rang out, “Rose!”
Rose turned to the source of the voice and saw Nixon standing at the door. At this moment, his face was dark as he was filled with jealousy. 500 million… Rose got 500 million!
Although the Lane family had accumulated a certain amount of wealth over the generations, 500 million was not a small amount to them. However, Rose could get 500 million just for her two designs.
Nixon was shaken and jealous as he wondered what kind of jewelry could be worth 500 million. Rose must have received this huge sum because Uncle Jonathan still had feelings for her.
Therefore, he needed to expose her true colors and prevent Uncle Jonathan from being deceived further.
He looked around, and though he couldn’t see Uncle Jonathan, he knew he must be lurking somewhere in the vicinity. This realization only fueled his determination.
He stared at Rose and said sternly, “Rose, how long do you intend to deceive everyone?“”
Rose furrowed her brow, thinking that this guy was here with malicious intent. However, she remained composed, having nothing to fear.
However, Nixon’s words surprised others, and their gazes turned from him to Rose, filled with complex expressions.
“What does he mean? Is he saying Ms. Shaffer is a fraud?”

Nixon gave a cold laugh and raised his voice, “Don’t be fooled by her pretty face, this woman is an exceptional actress, a flirt, and very skilled at seducing multiple men at once. I have evidence!”
With that, he took out his phone, displaying a picture of the moment outside the restaurant when Miles was gazing at Rose with deep affection.
The photo quickly circulated among the crowd, ending up in Miles’s hands.
Rose o
glanced at the photo and furrowed her brows even deeper. She hadn’t realized that she had been secretly photographed that day while dining with Miles Rose’s lips curled into a cold smile.
She was about to speak, but Miles’s voice preceded hers as he asked, “What does this prove?”
He casually tossed the phone to his assistant and stared at Nixon. His gaze filled with disdain. There was a subtle, yet intimidating force behind his words, which made Nixon pause.
After all, he couldn’t afford to offend Miles.
“Mr. Young, Rose is trying to seduce you. She’s not only trying to seduce you but also Evan and Mr. Finch. Please don’t be fooled by her.”
Evan and Rose both furrowed their brows. Evan thought if she had ever shown even the slightest hint of seduction toward Evan, she would have become Mrs. Spencer by now.
Meanwhile, Rose had always wished to stay as far away from Mr. Finch as possible. It didn’t make sense to claim she wanted to seduce him.
They were both about to speak when they heard Miles’s low chuckle. The sound of his laughter left everyone momentarily stunned,
Then, he fixed his gaze on Rose and spoke in a composed tone, “If Ms. Shaffer had even the tiniest bit of interest in me, I would have given her my entire world. Unfortunately
