Chapter 739
When Rosalie reached the staircase, she happened to catch sight of Jonathan, but to her surprise, Calvin was also there.
“Why is Calvin here?” she thought.
Just as Rosalie was about to descend the stairs, she heard Calvin say, “I never expected that Rosalie’s case from back then would also be related to you.”
In an instant, Rosalie halted her steps and couldn’t breathe.
“What did Calvin mean by that? What did he mean by my case being related to Jon? Wasn’t the car accident case already closed? Didn’t they find the real culprit?” she questioned herself.
“Is that what you want to talk about?” Jonathan replied nonchalantly with a faint voice.
Calvin continued, “The man named Mike was just a pawn. You, on the other hand, knew who the real mastermind behind Rosalie’s predicament was, but you turned a blind eye to it. Why? Just for the sake of some trivial benefits related to the Hamilton family? You ruined her entire life!”
Jonathan’s eyes darkened. “It seems like my grandfather had some hidden cards. Is this information from him?”
“Someone sent me an anonymous email with all the files related to Amelia’s case, along with the details of the interests transferred between the Youngblood family and the Hamilton family after that incident.”
“Back then, the Youngblood family and the Hamilton family were jointly developing the ‘Unity Ville’ project in the west of the city. If the truth about the car accident involving the Hamilton family had been exposed, it would have been a scandal that would have been difficult for them to cover up. It would have also caused significant losses to the Youngblood family,” he continued.
He went on, “Originally, the project was supposed to be developed jointly, with profits shared according to the contribution ratio, each party holding 50 percent. However, after Rosalie was imprisoned, the Hamilton family transferred 20 percent of the profits to Youngblood Group. Why did they do that?”
Calvin had clearly conducted a thorough investigation, and every word he spoke was sharp and probing.
Jonathan, who had initially appeared nonchalant, now wore a dark expression. His pitch-black eyes fixed firmly on the man before him.
“What is your purpose in coming to tell me all this?”
“I have only one question for you. Do you really intend to give Rosalie true justice?” Calvin asked in a deep voice.
“I am seeking justice for her right now,” Jonathan replied.

Calvin suddenly sneered, “Your so-called justice is nothing more than bringing down the Hamilton family and the Xanthos family. But the real culprit can still escape justice, and even now, Rosalie doesn’t know that the person who truly harmed her was Yvette, the second daughter of the Hamilton family, and Zachary’s fiancée!”
Jonathan’s eyes
eyes darkened even further, and on the second floor, Rosalie froze upon hearing Yvette’s name.
‘The real culprit was Yvette?
The very person who had vowed to seek revenge for Melanie when she was in prison? And Jonathan knew about it? He knew from the beginning that Yvette was the true culprit?’ she thought to herself.
From the very beginning, Jonathan had known that Rosalie was wrongly accused. Yet, because of the interests of the corporation, he had chosen to stand by and remain silent, allowing her to be imprisoned and wronged by the Hamilton family.
At that moment, Rosalie felt a chilling sensation coursing through her body. The staircase before her, leading to the first floor, was just a short distance away, with only about 30 steps. However, why did she feel like these steps were getting longer and longer as if she would never reach the end?
“If you truly want to give Rosalie justice, then you should ensure that Yvette faces the law, that the Hamilton family, and even yourself, receive the rightful consequences!” Calvin said angrily.
The thought of Rosalie being wrongly imprisoned because of Yvette’s
involvement pained him deeply. If he had been there… If he had been by her side, he would never have allowed her to suffer such an unjust fate.
A surge of hostility filled Jonathan’s eyes. He rushed forward and grabbed Calvin by the collar. “What do you understand? What right do you have to speak so boldly before me? If I had met Rosalie earlier, if I had fallen in love with her sooner, how could I have allowed her to endure that suffering?”
Calvin sneered, “Yes, because at that time, you hadn’t fallen in love with her yet, so… The suffering she endured meant nothing to you. To you, it was just a trivial matter of no importance.”
“Calvin, why have you come here today to say all of this? Are you planning to tell Rosalie about this? To tell her that I stood by and did nothing? To tell her that I knew who the real culprit was? If you dare to do so, I’ll kill you!”
His statement wasn’t an empty threat; it was a clear declaration.
Calvin could tell from Jonathan’s determined demeanor, built over years of friendship, that he was dead serious. He was willing to go to great lengths to keep this secret hidden.
“I won’t say anything,” Calvin replied. His decision to come forward and discuss

the matter with Jonathan meant he had already made up his mind. “But, let me be clear. I’m not doing this out of fear for you. I’m doing it for Rosalie.”
Rosalie was now seven months pregnant, and the answers she had given him during the funeral had made him reluctant to disrupt her happiness.
He didn’t want to tell her although he knew that revealing the truth could potentially strain the relationship between Rosalie and Jonathan, maybe even causing her to leave Jonathan.
However, if the life now was the life she truly wanted, then perhaps it was better to let the matter rest.
Calvin had also wondered why Leonard hadn’t directly given these documents to Rosalie but had chosen to give them to him instead.
Perhaps Leonard was also wrestling with the decision of whether to let Rosalie know the truth. Therefore, he left the decision to Calvin.
While not many knew about Calvin’s feelings for Rosalie, Leonard was likely aware of it.
His decision even mirrored Leonard’s-both chose not to disclose the truth to Rosalie.
“But, Jonathan, if there ever comes a day when you betray Rosalie, I’ll expose the truth. Even if I can’t ruin your reputation, I’ll ensure you face the consequences you deserve,” Calvin declared resolutely.
“There will never be such a day,” Jonathan retorted coldly.
