Jonathan understood what Ezra meant. "No matter what help you need, you can always ask Finley."
By the time Rose came back downstairs, the serious expressions that Jonathan and Ezra had previously worn were replaced by smiles.
Jonathan was preparing to send Rose to the Youngs, but right after they stepped out, they saw a luxury car parked outside the house, with Elijah standing beside it. Standing far apart, the two men locked eyes.
Jonathan looked shocked at first, but the shock quickly disappeared. Elijah had most probably investigated Jonathan inside out, so it made sense that he knew the location of Jonathan's new house.
Jonathan took the hint and handed Rose over to Elijah.
When Rose reached the office, everyone she met gave her an oddly happy look.
"Ms. Shaffer, congratulations!"
"Ms. Shaffer, thank you so much!"
Rose felt strange about receiving congratulations. What had happened that people were congratulating her? And thanks? Why were they thanking her?
Rose was confused. It wasn't until she went upstairs and reached her office that she understood everything.
On her computer, an extremely ostentatious email had been sent to the entire Young Group. It was a marriage certificate, zoomed in to almost fill the computer screen.
On the certificate, there were two names—Jonathan Finch and Rose Shaffer.
"Jonathan!"
Rose didn't know how to react. It was only the previous night when she had agreed to announce their marriage, so she thought that only the guests would know. She didn't expect him to announce it like that.
He really wanted the whole world to know.
"Ms. Shaffer, would you… like to try this?" Her assistant, Rachel, came into her office, holding something mysteriously in her hand.
"What's that?"
Rose looked toward Rachel's hand.
Rachel opened up her hand, revealing some sweets.
Sweets? Rose had a bad feeling, and she was right. Rachel handed her the sweets with a teasing smile on her face.
"The sweets are so sweet!"
It was their wedding favor! Jonathan, what did he do?
Rose took the sweets and slowly unwrapped the packaging. "Is it only sweets? Is there anything else?"
Rose wanted to know everything.
Earlier, when everyone saw her walking towards her office unknowingly, they concluded that she had no clue what was going on in the office. They assumed it was all a surprise prepared by Jonathan to make her happy.
And they were right about it. Rose had no clue!
Since she didn't know, of course, Rachel took it upon herself to convey Jonathan's good heart. After all, she received many benefits from Jonathan's surprise as well.
"It's not just sweets. There's a lot more! All staff in the Young Group, no matter their experience and position, received an exclusive car purchasing discount.
"Also, the female staff received a set of luxurious skincare products, while the male staff received electronic devices. There are also sweets, flowers, and…"
Rachel's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she were the one Jonathan was trying to please. Who wouldn't love it when Jonathan's going all out like that?
At the end of the day, Rose was truly the lucky one, being pampered by Jonathan.
Rachel looked at Rose, but only to see her frowning. It wasn't the shy and touched expression that Rachel was expecting. Instead, it looked like she was about to settle a score with someone.
Rachel's heart sank, so she asked, "Ms. Shaffer, you're not going to make us return everything, are you?"
As soon as Rose agreed to announce their relationship the previous night, Jonathan had Leonard make the arrangements immediately.
Now that their relationship was no longer a secret, of course, he was going to go all out to celebrate it. By sharing the joy with her employees, Jonathan was also trying to win over her family.
Jonathan felt very satisfied, but Rose's mind kept echoing the word "wedding".
"When did I agree to having a wedding?"
Jonathan's smile froze. They had already announced their marriage. How could they not have a wedding?
Jonathan asked in a serious tone, "Then what do I need to do for you to agree to have a wedding?"
Rose didn't know how to answer that question. She stuttered and hung up the phone, unable to stop thinking about the wedding.
In the office of the design director of the Young's House of Jewels, Harriette stared at the marriage certificate with a dark expression. It must have been Jonathan's doing!
Outside of the office, all the staff were excited to receive gifts from Jonathan. Jonathan really wanted everyone to know that Rose was his wife!
Harriette was jealous of Jonathan's possessiveness toward Rose. But even if she was jealous, what could she do?
Harriette knew that what happened at Finch Manor the previous night was Lizzie's doing, but too bad Lizzie didn't see this coming.
If Lizzie's scheme had worked, today would have been a very different scenario.
Too bad. Too bad! Harriette felt extremely disappointed.
Suddenly her phone rang, and it was an unsaved number. But she recognized the number—it was Lizzie! Harriette made sure the office door was closed before finally answering the call.
"Madam, how are you?" Harriette sounded concerned.
She had no idea what had happened after she left the night before. She didn't know if Lizzie had cleared her own name.
