Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 394

Finley inched closer to Jonathan and whispered, "Mr. Finch, she's the woman who accosted you outside Young Estate. You wanted to make Mrs. Finch jealous, right? Well, Ms. Maize here has the figure and the looks to make Mrs. Finch supremely jealous."

The suggestion was bold, and even if Finley didn't think Jonathan's plan to make Rose jealous was a good idea. Alas, he had no choice in the matter other than to play along with Jonathan's plans.

"Mr. Finch, I came by to thank you and the rest of Rise Entertainment for helping me pave my career in the local entertainment industry. I'm not very familiar with it, which is why I haven't signed with any agency before this.

"Imagine how terrible it would be if this had continued," Yara said, pouting like a child. She knew men couldn't resist the masculine urge to protect her if she put on the damsel-in-distress act.

However, Jonathan only frowned at her. "Maize… Did you say your last name was 'Maize'?"

Many people had that last name, but he could only think of one prestigious family in Regalia who went by it.

Yara confirmed his suspicions. "Yes, that's right. Now that I think about it, my family and the Finches go way back. I might have been working abroad all these years, but I've heard my family speak of you."

Jonathan had guessed correctly. He knew Eleanor could not have asked him to temporarily oversee Rised Entertainment without good reason. It seemed she had taken Yosef's advice to form a marriage alliance between their family and the Maizes.

A cold gleam flashed in Jonathan's eyes as he put two and two together.

Yara went on obliviously, "I heard that of all the rulers of the Finch family, you are the one who wields the iron fist. I thought you were intimidating at first, but I was wrong. With that young and handsome face, you're anything but intimidating!"

She blinked, playing up her innocence and naivety. Some men ate up the act, but Jonathan nearly gagged.

He suddenly demanded, "Has your family agreed to the marriage alliance with the Finches?"

Yara didn't think he would be so direct. Even Finley's jaw dropped.

She snapped out of her daze and gave a quick nod. "Yes. Once our family is allied through our marriage, it'll be good for both our businesses."

"If you don't like it, I won't wear it," Yara said obligingly.

She hadn't known he disliked the color red. She thanked her lucky stars that she had brought extra dresses to change into.

Not wanting to ruin Jonathan's impression of her, she decided to go back into the car and put on a different dress.

"Give me a minute! I'll be just a moment!" she said as she bounded back to the car excitedly.

As if Jonathan would wait for her. The moment she left, he turned and headed straight for the elevator.

Behind him, Finley asked tentatively, "Mr. Finch, are the Finches actually going to enter a marriage alliance with Ms. Maize? What about you and Mrs. Finch—"

"What does Ms. Maize's marriage alliance have to do with me and Rose? There are others in the family who can fulfill that alliance," Jonathan ground out.
