Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 359

Kelly saw that the road ahead seemed to have been blown up. A strange feeling gripped her heart, but she didn't think much about it. The group soon arrived at Aquastead and at the Young Estate.

When Kelly returned, she continued to pretend that she was overwhelmed by her sadness. It was only while everyone in the mansion was busy that Kelly snuck away and shut herself in her room.

Within the privacy of the four walls, she dropped her act. With no one else present, Kelly finally had an opportunity. She quickly took out her phone and called Maya.

When the call came through Maya had been in a noisy location outside. While she went to a slightly quieter spot to answer, the surrounding noise was still audible to Kelly.

Kelly was irritated by the noise coming from the phone, so she frowned and asked in a displeased tone, "How is it?"

There was no need for clarification. Maya knew what she was talking about instantly. Thinking about the item she obtained two hours ago, she replied, "Don't worry, Kelly. I got the stuff. How do you plan to use it?"

Although Maya hadn't seen the contents of it, she could picture how sensational it would be. And as for Rose… Maya's eyes flickered with malice. She believed that Kelly would make good use of the video she had in hand.

"How should I use it..." Kelly muttered to herself. How should she use it?

"I have to think about it carefully," Kelly was excited.

"Take your time to think about it, Kelly."

Both of them were working together to ruin Rose's reputation. But Maya also had another matter to discuss with her.

"Kelly, what about the money…" Maya spoke softly, fearing that she would cause a misunderstanding. She quickly explained, "I already paid for the people we hired. After this, I won't have much money left.

"You know, I'm not like you, Kelly. You are the Young family's heiress. You're unparalleled in this world. The Young family's assets will belong to you in the future, so can you…" Maya didn't finish her question, but it was obvious that Maya wanted what had been promised to her.

Upon hearing Maya's words, Kelly's expression soured slightly. She was unhappy. However, hearing Maya say "The Young family's assets will belong to you in the future" pleased her.

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you now."

"Really? Oh, Kelly, you're so kind, beautiful, kind-hearted. Rose could never compare to you," Maya praised, inflating Kelly's ego further.

However, she still had to make things clear to Maya. "Take good care of that item. Don't lose it. Otherwise..."

"I know, I know. No matter what happens, I won't lose it. I'll find a safe place to keep it. When you need it, I'll get it to you."

After ending the call, Kelly transferred a sum of money to Maya.

While Kelly was "grieving" downstairs, everyone else was busy with funeral arrangements upstairs. "Oliver's" corpse was placed in a hastily set up memorial hall.

The housekeeper and Gabriel managed everything in the house. Miles, however, was nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, in another villa in Aquastead, the real Oliver sat on the sofa while gripping his cane. He listened solemnly as Miles reported everything to him, including Kelly's acting and plan.

As Miles spoke, Oliver's expression remained unchanged. Eventually, Miles stopped, and Oliver continued to be glued to his seat.

When Oliver entered, he stared at Rose for a long time, as if he was lost in thought. After a while, he seemed to remember something and quietly left the room.

Outside, Oliver instructed Miles, "I want to meet the person who was rescued with me."

Miles was suspicious. The old woman? Why did Grandpa want to see her?

They had brought the old woman back with them and settled her in the villa. As Oliver naturally had his reasons for wanting to see her, Miles didn't press further and went to fetch her.

Ten minutes later, Miles brought the old woman into the study and disappeared, leaving only the pair in the room. The old woman looked at Oliver blankly until Oliver produced a photograph. It was the picture Rose had dropped on the ship.

The old woman recognized it at a glance. "Hey, why is that with you? That belongs to Rietta. Did you steal it? Tell me!"

The old woman looked fierce, but she was not intimidating in the slightest. Oliver was focused on the fact that the old woman had mentioned "Rietta".

"Who is Rietta?" Oliver asked.

The old woman approached and pointed to one of the women in the photo. "This woman. She is Rietta. Don't you recognize her? Give me the photo. I want to give it to Rietta."

The old woman tried to grab the photo, but Oliver moved it out of her reach. He then took out another photo and asked, "Is this the Rietta you mentioned?"

In the photo was unmistakably Rose. However, the old woman nodded without hesitation, "Yes, that's her! She's Rietta!"

They were two different people. But in her eyes, they were the same person.
