Chapter 738
Zendaya yelled resentfully, “You just hurt a few fingers and spent three years in prison. And now you want the Xanthos family to pay for your loss with
everything we own?”
She had always looked down on Rosalie. Even though Rosalie was now the lady of the Youngblood family, she still subconsciously regarded Rosalie as a commoner who had tried to snake her way into the Xanthos family.
But before Rosalie could speak, a crisp slapping sound could be heard. Zendaya stumbled after being slapped and almost fell to the ground.
“Her one finger is much more valuable than your entire Xanthos family! Who do you think you are? How can you compare the Xanthos family with Rosalie?” The cold male voice sounded. Jonathan looked at Zachary and Zendaya with an icy and ghastly gaze.
Zendaya covered her cheeks. She was stunned by the coldness in Jonathan’s eyes. At that moment, it was as though she was just an ant in his eyes. If she said one more word, she might not be able to speak anymore in the future.
Zendaya really feared Jonathan. No matter how good-looking he was, she only felt terror when she saw him.
Zendaya went silent and hid behind Zachary.
Zachary had no choice but to apologize, “Mr. Youngblood, the Xanthos family has always respected you. Please be merciful and spare us.”
Jonathan glanced at Zachary indifferently. “But the Xanthos family and the Hamilton family didn’t spare Rosalie back then. Why should I forgive you now?” Zachary’s face instantly flushed red. “A-At that time, we just followed the Hamilton family’s orders. The Xanthos family was actually innocent.” “You’re not innocent at all. The Xanthos family took advantage of the Hamilton. family and took over many small and medium-sized enterprises in Strico. Over the years, because of the benefits given by the Hamilton family, you have at least doubled the assets of the Xanthos family. Zachary, how dare you say that you’re innocent.”
Jonathan’s mockery was like a slap in Zachary’s face.
“The Xanthos family should spit out everything together with interest for the properties they’ve taken over all the years.” Jonathan uttered coldly, “It seems that the Xanthos family has really made a lot of effort to help both of you to stand here today. However, anyone who helps you today is the enemy of the Youngblood family.”
As soon as Jonathan declared war against the Xanthos family, Zachary’s face immediately turned pale.

This meant that the person who helped them not only today but also in the future would end up badly. Jonathan intended to warn anyone who planned to help the Xanthos family!
“If these words are spread, who would dare to help the Xanthos family in the future? Jonathan was really going to eradicate the Xanthos family! It’s really over for the Xanthos family!” Zachary exclaimed inwardly.
Zachary looked at Rosalie, who was standing beside Jonathan in a daze. Who would have thought that a woman whom he could abandon at any time back then had turned into the person who could control the life and death of the Xanthos family?
Back then, if he hadn’t abandoned Rosalie in that way, and if he was willing to find out the truth for Rosalie, then the Xanthos family wouldn’t have fallen into such a state today, although they might have faced some problems then!
At this moment, Zachary really regretted what he had done.
However, Jonathan turned to Rosalie as if he had no interest in Zachary and Zendaya anymore. “It’s almost done here. Go back and have a good rest.”
“Okay,” Rosalie replied.
But when they passed by Calvin, he subconsciously blocked their way.
A frown etched across Jonathan’s face. “Calvin, what’s wrong? Do you really want to make a scene today?”
Calvin pursed his thin lips and only looked at Rosalie. “If one day you find that Jonathan is not what you think, and you can’t stay by his side anymore, are you willing to let me take care of you then?”
His voice trembled slightly, which showed that it was not easy for him to say it. He almost summoned all his courage to say that to Rosalie!
Maybe this was his only chance!
After saying this, he almost stopped breathing. His hands which were hanging at the side of his body were shivering faintly.
He was waiting for her answer very nervously.
Rosalie was stunned. Then, she felt Jonathan tighten his grip on her hand.
“Does Jon feel insecure again?” Rosalie asked in her heart. She took over Jonathan’s hand and held it tightly. Then, she uttered to Calvin, “I’m not willing to. And the things that you said will never happen. For me, I just want to stay by Jon’s side whether it’s right now or in the future!”
A trace of disappointment flashed through Calvin’s eyes when he heard how firm Rosalie’s reply was. His extremely nervous heart instantly seemed to turn empty. Then, he smiled bitterly.
“What am I expecting?” he laughed at himself.
“Jon, let’s go.” This time, it was Rosalie who pulled Jonathan away to leave first.

The bodyguards followed behind them in a single file.
Calvin stood there in a daze. Even if Rosalie had gotten into the car, and he couldn’t see her figure at all, he still maintained his original posture with a
gloomy gaze.
After Rosalie and Jonathan got in the car, she suddenly caressed his face. “Why does your face look so terrible?”
Jonathan’s body suddenly trembled, as if he had been shocked. After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses and asked, “Do I look terrible?”
“Yes. It seems like you’ve encountered some troubles. What’s wrong? Will Leonard’s death cause any problems for the Youngblood Group?” Rosalie asked. After all, she rarely saw the depression and misery on his face just now.
“There won’t be any problems. Don’t think too much.” Jonathan peeped out of the window. Calvin was standing not far away. He was staring in the direction of their car!
When Rosalie and Jonathan returned to the Youngblood Residence, Rosalie was sleepy. After all, today’s funeral was a little tiring for her, who was pregnant for seven months.
After eating something, Rosalie fell asleep on the bed.
Her eyes were closed, so naturally she didn’t see Jonathan’s gaze on her at this moment. It was an extreme level of worry and fear.
A moment later, he took out his phone and sent a message.
When Rosalie woke up, Jonathan was not in the room. She got up, washed up a bit, and checked the time.
She only slept for about an hour, shorter than what she expected.
“Where’s Jon? Is he downstairs?” she wondered.
