Chapter 523 Having Her Back "I can pay for that..." Miles hurriedly interrupted Jonathan. However, he realized Clover had purchased it and wouldn't give it to him even if he offered a higher price.
Clover was so calculated to foot the bill and sign the contract beforehand. That way, Miles couldn't do anything about it! At that point, Miles regretted his action earlier. Had he not been distracted by Harriette, he could've prevented Clover from purchasing the suit! He looked at Clover onstage and saw his annoying smile. Although Clover was shocked to receive Jonathan's support, he quickly seized the chance and added, "It's okay, Rosie. Even if you refuse to be my sister, I'll still gift this suit to you!" His genuine expression, paired with Emily's characterization of him, made the usually arrogant man look rather pitiful at that moment. It would be hard to hurt someone with a face like that. He stared at Rose, awaiting her decision.
"Clover!" Miles tightened his fists. He didn't expect the CEO of Lerain Group to resort to such dirty tricks! The worst part was... Rose fell for it.
He gripped tighter on her forearm. "Rosie..." "Rosie, if you reject him, he'll feel extremely humiliated." Emily gave no chance to Miles.
It was three people against Miles. The outcwas all too predictable. As expected, Rose couldn't bear to hurt Clover.

Rose could vividly feel Miles' disappointment when she said those words. She knew she had angered him. However, it remained a mystery to her as to why he was so opposed to the idea.
"That's right, Rosie. Con. I'll lead you up there." Emily tugged Rose's hand. That was the crucial and final push Emily needed to grant her boss' wish.
With Emily's force, Rose slipped away from Miles' grasp. Feeling the emptiness in his palm, he instinctively tightened his grip but missed her. After sensing a gaze on him, he turned in that direction.
When he saw Harriette nodding at him with a smile, he froze and immediately felt guilty. Clover did everything he could to purchase Oliver's suit for Rose, but what did he do? His mind was occupied by Harriette and her return, completely ignoring the bidding war between her and Rose, and how the latter was in trouble. It was all thanks to Clover's help that Rose got the suit, so how could she reject him after all that he had done? Miles chuckled dryly and withdrew his hand. He sat pathetically and recalled his promise to Harriette earlier. For a moment, he hesitated.
When he looked up and saw Rose beside Clover, he strangely found the two physically alike. Not only him, but Emily felt the sway. However, she didn't overthink it. Jonathan, who had returned to his seat, looked mysterious.
"Sir, why do I feel like... Mrs. Finch and Mr. Xanth look... kinda alike?" Leonard couldn't help but whisper to Jonathan.
Without waiting for the latter's response, he continued, "Mrs. Finch is stunning, while Mr. Xanth is handsome. I can't deny that all hot people have similarities." Was that the only reason though? Jonathan stared at the two onstage. When recalling the conversation with Zac on the phone last night, he smiled and said nothing.
Meanwhile, everyone's focus was directed at Rose and Clover. He caressed her head and asked, "Would you like to be my sister?" Rose naturally agreed. She smiled and nodded. For sreason, she had always harbored an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him.
After agreeing, it felt like something had opened up inside her. It was a strange feeling. Yet, it was comparable to the one she experienced when she first met Oliver. "Clover..." Rose piped up.
Clover scrunched his originally smiling face. "Still with that formality?" She understood him. "No, Clo!" "That's right!" He laughed heartily.
Applause soon echoed in the venue, and the crowd finally knew Clover's identity, He announced, "From now on, the Xanth family and Lerain Group will have your back!" His voice echoed loudly. en Lerain Group... The Xanth family... It was only then the crowd realized the situation.
"You mean the Lerain Group?" "There's only one Lerain Group by the Xanths..." Although the Xanth family was primarily involved in international ventures, they still had considerable fdomestically.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo their surprise, the Number 95 gentleman was a member of the Xanths! No wonder he could purchase a suit with 30 million dollars! In the meantime, the crowd looked at Rose with strange looks.
One might consider her lucky when
Oliver adopted her into the Young family. But when Clover spent so much money and effort, while playing the pity card simultaneously, just to win Rose's heart, it couldn't have just been luck. On top of that, she was the one who held Oliver's memorial photo at his funeral.
"This is my first gift for my sister. Whatever you want in the future, I'll buy them all for you!" Clover handed the suit to Rose.
If the idea of acknowledging Rose as his sister had sprouted out a out of m excitement and on a whim, now, seeing his sister before him made him feel inexplicably fulfilled. At that moment, he would love nothing more than to bring all the good things in the world to her. Rose was naturally touched by his kindness and affection.
As enthusiastic as Clover was, she hadn't forgotten about Miles. When she looked at the audience and saw him, he broke eye contact with her. She was slightly taken aback "He must be mad," she thought.
"Miles..." she mumbled. She was just about to descend the stage when she saw a figure arriving begiḍchim!! ve Rose easily recognized that person with those sunglasses. It was the woman who helped and bid against her earlier! X
