Chapter 1225
Immediately afterward, Guillermo showed Rosalie a photo of the mansion they were heading to.
Looking at the mansion in the photo, Rosalie wondered if Riley was really being held inside the mansion and what she was going through at the moment.
Rosalie could not help but sigh in her heart as she thought about Riley, the once-spirited girl who had been tortured into her current state. Riley’s ordeal might have reminded her of her own, and she could not help but sympathize and empathize with her.
Soon, the car arrived at the location Calvin had specified. It was a café, and he had reserved a private room inside.
Calvin’s eyes flickered slightly as the three of the Youngblood family entered the private room as if he were not surprised that Jonathan ha also joined them.
Calvin was the first to greet Jonathan, saying, “Long time no see, Jonathan.”
“I was actually hoping we would not see each other for a longer time,” Jonathan replied, hinting at something.
Calvin shrugged nonchalantly. “I guess I disappointed you then.”
The two men exchanged glances. Soon after, a childish voice chimed in, “Are you Mr. Calvin Gunner? The one who has liked Mommy for a long time?”
Calvin’s gaze fell on Guillermo’s face, which bore a strong resemblance to Jonathan.
Seeing Guillermo reminded him of the first time he met Jonathan as a child. At that time, Jonathan was older than the current Guillermo and had come across as distant and cold, especially in social situations. Nevertheless, when adults approached him, he would put on a near perfect smile.
At that time, Calvin had the impression that he was hiding behind a mask.
He even wondered who might one day remove Jonathan’s mask.
And now he knew the mask had come off, and Jonathan had revealed his true self to Rosalie. He would show her his most genuine side.
“Yes,” Calvin answered Guillermo’s question.
The next moment, Guillermo remarked, “Well, you’re unlucky then. Mommy likes Daddy, not you.”
Calvin was rendered speechless. “Jonathan’s son is exactly like him. Neither of them is particularly endearing,” he mused.
Feeling awkward, Rosalie quickly redirected the conversation and asked, “Is Riley still inside the mansion?”
“Yes, she is. My contacts inside reported that Riley was being held basement of the mansion. The mansion has its own security tear place, and getting her out secretly won’t be easy.” With that, Calvi signaled the computer expert sitting next to him.
The computer expert immediately turned on the laptop and display the mansion’s floor plan as well as the location of the underground basement where Riley was being held for Jonathan and Rosalie to s
Simultaneously, the computer expert explained to them the current security forces at the Summer family’s mansion, noting that they had ddeployed a highly advanced security system used worldwide.
What if we call the police?” Rosalie suggested.
“At the moment, we do not have any concrete evidence of the Summer ffamily abusing Riley, and Riley’s current guardian is her family. Because she is considered mentally ill, her family has the legal right to confine her. They can provide various explanations for their actions,” Calvin eexplained.
Rosalie remained silent, contemplating the situation.
Meanwhile, Jonathan fixed his gaze on the screen and proposed, “What if wwe take Riley out and have a psychiatric evaluation to prove she’s not mecntally? Then, no matter what excuses the Summer family comes up wwith itwwon’t matter.”
“Binhthaceasryyou will need to confirm Riley is not mentally ill first. Seconnitywe have to get her out of the mansion before the Summer familyy sillsithe cops.

results come out. If they discover Riley before the evaluation is completed, they have the absolute right to terminate it.”
Calvin identified three major challenges.
Rosalie took a deep breath and stated, “I believe Riley should not be entirely mentally ill, or at least she may not have been when she was first confined in the hospital. It is just that over the years, it has become difficult to tell how much of her is still sane. It is possible that her illness was sporadic, only showing symptoms occasionally and acting normally at other times.”
Jonathan asked, “Are you willing to take the gamble?”
Rosalie hesitated.
“If you choose to gamble, I’ll be with you. Even if we lose, I have a way deal with it. It might be a bit troublesome, but it’s not a big deal. However, if you choose not to gamble, will you feel at ease?” Jonathan’ voice continued to ring in her ears.
In actuality, he didn’t particularly care about the woman named Riley her fate. He just wanted Rosalie to be at peace.
Rosalie could tell he was seeing right through her at that moment. He knew that if she did not try to save Riley, she would never be able to find peace.
It was not just because Riley was Amelia’s friend, but also because she had met her. Since they had crossed paths, if she let the situation be without doing anything, she might regret it in the future.
Rosalie parted her red lips and said softly, “I’ll bet on it.”
“All right, let’s bet on it then.” Jonathan smiled faintly.
It was as if they were discussing something insignificant. However, if they lost the gamble, the Youngblood Group would face an embarrassing scandal for acting rashly.
Calvin watched as Jonathan and Rosalie’s eyes met. His heart began to slowly fill with a hint of bitterness.
Rosalie had a strong sense of justice that she had always carried, and Jonathan was prepared to go to great lengths to uphold that sense of justice. At the very least, it demonstrated that Rosalie had not made the wrong choice in choosing Jonathan.
“So now, how do we get Riley out? If we want to breach the Summer family’s security system, we might need more experts in this field to attack the system’s host, causing the system to crash, and then we can sneak into the mansion to rescue her,” Calvin said.
Hearing that, Jonathan turned to Guillermo he had brought along. “Guille, can you hack into the security system of the Summer family’s mansion?” He made it sound as though he was asking his son to perform a simple task.
“I’ll give it a try,” Guillermo replied as he took out his mini laptop.
Calvin could not help but frown when he overheard their conversation, clearly not expecting Jonathan to entrust the task of hacking into the security system of the Summer family’s mansion to a child.
The computer expert on the side expressed their disbelief. “Isn’t this too audacious?”
Rosalie quickly intervened and explained, “He’s good at this. He once infiltrated the security system of the Serton residence.”
“The Serton residence? Did you mean Wyatt Serton’s home?” Calvin was stunned.
“Yes,” Rosalie admitted, a little embarrassed. She still found it hard to believe that her son had hacked into the Serton residence’s security system. The scene of two children raiding the Serton residence was still surreal to her.
