Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Chapter 645 The Unexpected Lizzie



Rose rarely called Jonathan, but whenever she did, he would pick up almost immediately. It seemed like Jonathan was always very enthusiastic toward her.

But tonight, the phone rang for a long time with no one answering.

When she made the second call, and the same thing happened again, Rose felt a twinge of unease. After making several more calls, there was still no answer.

Rose's sense of unease was growing stronger. She was just about to call Leonard and Finley when Ezra called her.

"Hello, Ezra? Where's Jonathan?" As soon as the call connected, Rose immediately asked that question. Her voice was tinged with nervousness and a slight tremble.

On the other end of the phone, Ezra had informed Rose that Jonathan was "busy" and couldn't make it tonight. However, when Rose asked him about it, Ezra suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

It was precisely due to this moment of guilt and hesitation that Rose was able to sense something was off, even over the phone.

Before Ezra could speak, Rose asked another question, "What's happened with Jonathan?"

She held tightly onto her phone, but what she heard was Ezra's deliberately casual laughter. "Rose, what could happen to my brother? Something came up at the company unexpectedly, so he probably won't be able to come home tonight to see you."

But Rose didn't believe him. "He's not picking up his phone," she said.

Ezra felt at a loss for words. When he thought about what had happened just now, Ezra tugged at the corner of his mouth and quickly came up with an excuse. "He just boarded the plane, so-"

Rose made up her mind before Ezra finished speaking, interrupting him, "Ezra, you're lying to me."

Ezra felt a bit at a loss on the other end of the phone.

"Ezra, as your 'sister-in-law', it means we're family. No matter what happens with Jonathan, you can't keep it from me. Whatever he goes through, I should know about it. I worry about him. I..."

At that moment, Rose realized that her feelings for Jonathan were much more than just missing him. Her whole heart had probably long been captured by him.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go find him myself. Is he at Finch Manor? Or at one of Finch Group's hospitals?"

Rose was unsure of Jonathan's whereabouts the past few days.

But she had a vague idea that Jonathan might have "checked into a hospital" in some way to throw some people off and make them believe he wasn't a threat, and they would feel at ease.

On the other end of the phone, Ezra finally couldn't keep it a secret any longer. "Rose, something has happened to Jonathan."

"Something happened to Jonathan..." Rose couldn't stop thinking about that

sentence.

She didn't even have time to ask Ezra what exactly had happened to Jonathan before she rushed toward the door in a panic. She was in such a hurry that she didn't even realize her shoe had come off while running.

As she stepped out the door, she saw Elijah, Clover, and Miles, who had somehow returned without her noticing. She felt her heart sink even further into despair.

"Rose, you found out." Clover ran over and helped Rose.

They had just received the news as well.

As soon as they heard the news, the three of them immediately turned back. They initially wanted to keep Rose calm and prevent her from worrying. But judging by her appearance, it seemed like she found out.

Rose held Clover's wrist tightly, suddenly feeling weak. She said, "Take me to find him."

What happened to Jonathan? Rose didn't dare to ask that question.

In the car, Rose remained silent. Miles was driving while Clover was sitting in the backseat with Rose. Rose kept holding onto his wrist, not letting go for even a moment.

The three of them tried to comfort Rose multiple times, but in the end, she still said nothing.

Elijah and Clover, as Rose's father and brother, had many strict expectations for Jonathan. However, they had to admit that Jonathan genuinely cared for Rose.

The most important thing was that Rose loved Jonathan.

Jonathan's significance might have been far greater than they realized.

Rose looked out the car window. She realized that she had taken this road earlier,

which led to the villa where the dinner party was being held today.

Did Jonathan go to the villa?

Soon, she got her answer.

The car drove past the villa nestled in the mountains, continued forward and upward, and after a long drive, finally came to a stop.

It was completely dark all around, with a faint light visible in the distance.noveldrama

Rose got out of the car and headed straight to the brightly lit area. There she saw Ezra, Leonard, and even Eleanor and Cyrus.

Everyone had a serious expression on their face, and she didn't see Jonathan anywhere...

Rose felt like her heart was being clenched tightly by a large hand She finally asked, "What about Jonathan?"

Where was Jonathan?

The several people present looked at Rose with concern on their faces.

"Where's Jonathan?" Rose asked again. She looked directly at Ezra, specifically indicating that she wanted him to answer.

"Rose..." Ezra knew he couldn't hide it, but to actually say what had just happened was simply too cruel.

Ezra looked to the other side.

Rose followed his gaze and saw that

there was a cliff ahead. Beyond the cliff, it was pitch black, and nothing was visible. It seemed as though Rose understood what had happened.

Her body suddenly weakened, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Rose, don't worry. Finley has already taken people down to search." Ezra stepped forward, wanting to help Rose up, but Clover and Miles beat him to it.

"Clover, tell the person you brought to also go search," Elijah ordered.

Clover quickly made a phone call and gave some instructions.

The late-night wind grew colder, bringing about a chill.

Ezra recounted everything that happened.

Jonathan had been restless at the hospital for some time. According to the plan, he was set to leave the hospital without any concerns tonight, but an unexpected event Occurred.

The unexpected incident was Lizzie.

No one knew how Lizzie managed to do it, but somehow she ended up taking Jonathan away.

By the timeLeonard realized it, he immediately went after them. He followed them

all the way.

When Eleanor arrived, Leonard's people had already surrounded Lizzie's car at

the edge of the cliff.

Jonathan had fainted.

When Cyrus arrived, Lizzie seemed almost frantic. The words she said felt like heavy blows, and even as Cyrus recalled them now, each word seemed to pierce his heart,

Lizzie seemed to have lost her mind.

In her mad frenzy, she started the car and slammed the accelerator. The car

drove off the cliff.

As Rose listened, she felt as if her blood had frozen over.

She gauged the journey up the mountain and assessed the height of the cliff. If

the car drove off the edge, then Jonathan...

Rose felt a sudden sharp pain pierce through her. She held Clover's hand tightly and said, "Clover, help me find him."

Her voice was choked with emotion as she turned to Miles and pleaded, "Miles, please help me..."

She did the same with Elijah. "Dad..."

"We'll look. We'll find them. Everything will be okay," Elijah said with determination

in his voice.

He assessed the height of the cliff, feeling that the chances of a positive outcome

were slim.

The others watched Rose with concern. Her face was pale, and she had tears

welling up in her eyes, yet she continued to hold them back, refusing to let them

fall.

It was as if she feared that letting her tears fall would bring about bad luck.

She kept murmuring to herself, "It's okay. Nothing will happen. Nothing will happen..."

The others asked Rose to leave and wait for updates several times, but Rose remained unfazed.

"I'm going to wait right here for him to come back," Rose said with determination. Finally, just before dawn, there was news. "They've been found! They're found!"
