Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 393

"Yes, Mr. Finch," Finley said, not bothering to ask Jonathan to reconsider.

By the time Yara caught up to Jonathan, he had already been ferried off in his car. She watched as the car vanished into the distance. She thought about asking Kate to bring the car around, but she wouldn't catch up to Jonathan in time.

Yara stomped her foot in anger and turned to lash out at Kate.

"Why can't you be a little more proactive? Didn't you see me trip and fall just now? I could have caught up to Jonathan if you'd helped me, but now I've missed my chance because of you! He even smiled at me just now!"

Her face was twisted into a menacing grimace.

Kate had hurried over to Yara. She flinched as the latter threw a fit, but she couldn't help her disbelief. She had seen what happened earlier.

From a spectator's point of view, Jonathan hadn't seemed all that interested in Yara. The only person he cared about was the woman who had come out of Young Estate, and Kate was surprised that Yara hadn't noticed. She inwardly mocked the actress' ignorance.

Yara calmed down and analyzed the incident earlier. She frowned and asked, "That woman who came out just now, how come I've never seen her before?"

It seemed she had not heard Finley address Rose as "Mrs. Finch", but she did catch him addressing her as "Ms. Scahffer".

"Ms. Shaffer… Based on her dress and the white flower brooch she wore, I can only assume she's from the Young family. But why haven't I seen or heard of her before?" Yara drawled pensively as a bad feeling crept up in her.

She dared not dawdle as she fished out her phone and called Bella. "Aunt Bella, do you know what's the connection between Jonathan and a certain Ms. Shaffer?"

There was no deference in her commanding tone, which irked Bella. Still, she reigned in her temper when she thought of the potential marriage alliance between Yara and Jonathan.

"Ms. Shaffer?"

Bella knew Rose, of course, but not well enough. She added, "She's just a woman from Aquastead. I didn't think you'd know her. But don't worry, she's not a threat to you.

"Not every woman who is infatuated with Jonathan can stand a chance at marrying him."

"But Jonathan seems to care for…" Yara trailed off. She was loathe to admit that Jonathan cared about Rose, and her pride would never let her say it either.

Bella knew what Yara was trying to say. She comforted the young actress immediately, "You know how men are. It's normal for them to take a few more glances at beautiful women, but not to worry. For all her beauty, Rose has nothing on you."

Such flattery stroked Yara's ego. She was certain that she was the fairest of them all, which was more than she could say for Rose.

She had caught a glimpse of Rose's face and silhouette earlier. While Rose was pretty, she still paled in comparison to Yara. More importantly, Yara had both money and looks.

Yara was the heiress of the Maize family, after all. The Maize family's affluence placed it just behind the Three Greatest Families of Regalia. Two of the Three Greatest Families of Regalie did not have daughters.

As for the Young family, their daughters were all adopted, which demarcated them from rightful heiresses like Yara. Yara didn't think it was a stretch to name herself as the top socialite in Regalia.

Having regained her confidence, she said lightly, "You're right. I might just be a little paranoid. If Ms. Shaffer is just some unknown woman from Aquastead, she couldn't possibly stand a chance against me. She's no threat to me at all."

Yara hung up after that. She was unhappy that she and Jonathan didn't get the chance to talk earlier, but that didn't matter. Her chance would come soon.

"Bring the car around!" she snarled at Kate. "We're going to Rise Entertainment."

…

Rise Entertainment, unlike the other enterprises under The Finch Group, was not housed within the group's main office building.

In his attempt to break away from The Finch Group, Ezra had selected Young Industrial Park as the business address for Rise Entertainment.

Two luxurious cars drove into Young Industrial Park.

Yara had ordered the driver to speed up. She also had her team contact the press and inform them of her whereabouts. The reporters staked out at the industrial park before she arrived.

She had called out to him loudly enough for the reporters to hear. They had only just snapped a picture of her getting out of the car when they paused.

They watched as she caught up to the man before her and blocked his way.

The international box office queen and the ruler of The Finch Group in one frame—a picture of them could shock the entertainment and business industry.

The question now was, did the reporters dare snap a shot of them?

Jonathan frowned at the lady who had obstructed him. He regarded her as if he had never seen her before.

In hopes of bringing out her charm, Yara had shrugged off the black dress she wore to Young Estate and changed into a stunning, figure-hugging red dress that left little to the imagination.

Anyone would have been bewitched by her beauty. Anyone except for, obviously, Jonathan. In fact, he was far from bewitched. He was utterly confused by her appearance.

Yara couldn't help feeling indignant. Had he forgotten her so quickly? She hid her displeasure and reintroduced herself to the man.

"I'm Yara Maize. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Finch."

However, Jonathan only stared at her. Yara blinked at him.

His brows were still furrowed as he shot Finley a dark look as if to ask, "Who the hell is Yara Maize?"

Exasperation washed over Finley. He knew Jonathan did not pay attention to any woman other than Rose, not that he had paid any attention to the opposite sex before.

As such, he knew that even though Yara was the woman who had accosted Jonathan half an hour ago at Young Estate and caused Rose's jealousy, Jonathan did not remember her at all. It didn't help that she had changed into a different outfit.

Finley couldn't believe Yara had trailed after them from Young Estate. He suddenly thought about Jonathan's instruction earlier, and a bold idea crossed his mind.
