Chapter 86 Inheriting Celeste Jewels
Kelly cried pitifully, intentionally not disclosing the reason.
After Jamie and Chelsea repeatedly inquired, she choked and said, “It seems that Mrs. Lane Senior doesn’t like me. It’s all because I’m not the eldest daughter and can’t inherit Celeste Jewelry. Even if I marry Nixon, it won’t help him.”
She was heartbroken as if she had suffered a great injustice in the Lane family. Chelsea, also in tears, embraced her and wept with her.
“It’s all my fault. You’re your father’s biological daughter, but for all these years, you’ve been treated as an outsider. If you marry and still have to endure such injustice, what can you do? Maybe you shouldn’t marry at all
“But
I’m already engaged to Nixon. If we break off the engagement, the Shaffers’s and Dad’s reputation will be ruined.”
Kelly cried even harder. Jamie, with deep and determined eyes, remained silent. His daughter had suffered too much!
Celeste Jewels had been left by Celeste, and Rose would inherit it as soon as she got married. He had been stalling because there were some matters he hadn’t completed yet.
Now that Rose had won the championship of the National Jewelry Design Award, she would undoubtedly come to fulfill Celeste’s will.
A hint of determination filled his eyes as if he had made a significant decision.
He glanced at the mother and daughter as he said, “Kelly, don’t worry. When you get married, you will do so with grace. I won’t let you suffer anymore.”
Kelly smiled in triumph. She knew her father cared for her. Even if she couldn’t secure the inheritance of Celeste Jewels, Jamie would make sure she received the 500 million.
On the other end, Jonathan didn’t return to Zenwood Gardens that night. The next morning, Rose had just awakened when she received a bank transaction notification.
The money for over four million she had transferred to her star escort husband the previous night had been returned to her account.
“What’s going on?”
She tried the operation several times, but it failed each time. Feeling puzzled, she was about to call the bank to inquire when Jamie’s call came in.
“Rose, why don’t you come to the company headquarters today? Your mother’s creation, Celeste Jewels, should be passed on to you.”
His tone was unusually gentle. Rose almost thought she had misheard him. Even after hanging up the phone, she still felt dazed. Her intuition told her that Jamie wouldn’t easily hand over Celeste Jewels.
After a quick freshening up, she took a taxi to Century Tower. Upon arriving at the company headquarters, the receptionist treated her warmly, a stark contrast to her previous attitude.
“Ms. Rose, please follow me. Mr. Shaffer has been waiting for you in his office for quite some time.”

The receptionist led her to the office. As soon as she entered, Jamie came forward to greet her.
“Rose, I’ve prepared everything today. These are the relevant documents for the inheritance. I’ve already signed them. Take a look.”
He spread a stack of documents in front of her. Rose carefully examined them; they were indeed the relevant documents for the company’s inheritance.
There was also a declaration of Jamie relinquishing all positions at Celeste Jewels.
“Rose, everything related to Celeste Jewels and the Shaffer family’s assets have their origins with your mother. Over the years, I’ve held on to Celeste Jewels. I may not have contributed much, but I have put in my share of effort. I dont want any shares in the company, but I hope you can let me keep the villa where
the Shaffers live.”
That villa had been acquired while her mother was still alive. However, it had long since become someone else’s home. Rose readily agreed.
“Your sister’s dowry…”
Rose thought he was going to make her sign the agreement for the 500 million dowry again.
However, Jamie’s tone was surprisingly warm as he said, “I understand I didn’t think it through when I asked you to sign that agreement yesterday. I haven’t been attentive to you over the years. Please don’t blame me.”
This sudden warmth left Rose momentarily stunned.
“Although you have a lot of design talent, managing a company is not a simple task. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can ask me at any time. Consider it my way of making it up to you,” Jamie sighed as he said, appearing like a regretful father.
After that, he convened a meeting among the top executives and announced that Celeste Jewels belonged to Rose from that day on.
After a day of completing various formalities, Rose still found it hard to believe. Had she inherited Celeste Jewels? Everything had happened so suddenly making her feel unusually unsettled.
The next day, she arrived at the company early. It was already 10:00 am, and the empty office had only a few people scattered around.
She randomly asked an intern, “Where is everyone? Where have they gone?”
