Chapter 755
Jonathan clenched his teeth tightly.
Leonard parented him. Naturally, he was the one who understood him the most. The former knew the latter was oversensitive and would become anxious when it came to Rosalie’s matters. That was why he ordered Kurt to stay away for a while and then reappear.
That way, Jonathan would insist on meeting Kurt and interrogate him in person before he could rest assured.
He pondered, “Grandpa, do you still want to trick me even when you’re dead? And what exactly was the bet you were making? Did you bet on whether I’ll sacrifice my life for a woman? Rosie… She absolutely cannot come to harm!”
When Rosalie woke up, she was sitting in a car, with one of her hands securely bound to the steering wheel and the other hand tied to the handbrake.
The car was parked on a cliff, with the rear half of the car hanging over the edge of the cliff. Only the front was attached to the cliff, making it incredibly precarious. Any big movement inside the car or external force could potentially cause the entire vehicle to plummet off the cliff.
Below the cliff was the open sea.
Rosalie remained stiff, afraid to make any movement.
There was a phone placed upright in front of her, and on the phone screen, it was none other than Yvette, who was staring at her.
At that moment, both of them were on a video call.
“Rosalie, you’re awake!” Yvette smiled coldly. “Speaking of which, I didn’t expect the person I used to look down on to one day become the lady of the Youngblood. family.”
“Yvette, what do you want?” Rosalie tried hard to suppress her fear and anxiety.
She only remembered being in her bedroom. Then, she somehow began to feel dizzy. So, she decided to lie on the bed to rest for a while.
The next thing she knew, she woke up to her current situation.
Rosalie wondered, “So, my dizziness at that time was not due to tiredness but for some other reason? Now, am I being kidnapped by Yvette? But how is this even possible? Jon has arranged for many bodyguards to be stationed at the Youngblood residence and also enhanced the security system. How did Yvette manage to get me from there to this place?”
A series of doubts flashed in Rosalie’s mind, but it was not the time to think about that. She should be thinking about how to get out of there.
In the video call, Yvette responded quite openly to Rosalie, saying, “I want to see what kind of fate awaits you! Rosalie, since you’ve made me suffer so much, you

can’t expect to have a good outcome either.”
Yvette continued, “How about we find out shortly how much Jonathan loves you? Will he sacrifice his life for you? And there are explosives buried around your car. If someone tries to rescue you later, not only will they get blown up, but I guess you and the three babies in your womb will also end up in the sea.”
Every word Yvette said made Rosalie’s heart sink.
Rosalie knew Yvette was trying to kill her.
Rosalie calmed down and replied to Yvette, “If you release me, we can let bygones
be bygones. I can also persuade Jon to spare you and even have him help the Hamilton family through this crisis.”
What Rosalie needed to do now was try her best to make Yvette find these conditions enticing and create some hesitation. Only by doing so could Rosalie secure more favorable terms for her escape.
Yet, no matter what favorable conditions Rosalie proposed, Yvette seemed indifferent. “Rosalie, I just want to know if Jonathan is willing to risk his life for you. When Melanie died, he didn’t shed a single tear! Don’t you want to know what he’s willing to do for you?”
When Yvette said that, a trace of hatred flashed in her
eyes.
Yvette resented Rosalie. She could not accept that she, the second lady of the Hamilton family, ended up like that because of someone as insignificant as Rosalie.
Back then, Yvette snatched Zachary away from Rosalie, thinking Zachary would love her deeply. However, it turned out that Zachary had discarded Yvette, just like he did to Rosalie years ago.
Yvette was the ideal person in the hearts of countless men. How could she be any less than Rosalie? Jonathan would surely abandon Rosalie like a discarded pawn sooner or later.
Besides, as long as Yvette followed the instructions of that “Mr. Wilmer”, the rewards she received afterward would be enough to allow her to live a carefree life abroad.
Right at that moment, several black cars pulled up one after another.
Rosalie only saw a lot of people getting out of the car, and Jonathan was among them.
At that moment, when Jonathan saw her and the condition of the car Rosalie was in, his face turned pale in an instant, and he immediately rushed toward her. “Don’t come closer! There are bombs around this car, and they will explode,” Rosalie quickly shouted, stopping Jonathan from running toward her.
Jonathan’s steps abruptly came to a halt, and the people following him naturally stopped in their tracks as well.

Rosalie breathed a temporary sigh of relief and gazed at Jonathan who was standing about some feet away from her from a distance.
Little did she expect that in just a few hours, things would turn out like that. She should be grateful that the car’s windows were not rolled up so her voice could still be heard from inside.
“Rosie, don’t be afraid. I-I will get you out of here,” Jonathan said with his face. pale, and his hands hanging by his side trembling slightly. At that instant, he seemed more scared than Rosalie herself.
There was an undeniable certainty in Rosalie’s mind, as she believed he could surely rescue her, and she and the children would all be safe.
“It was Yvette who brought me here! My hands are tied to the steering wheel and handbrake. I can’t move. She is currently on a video call with me,” Rosalie quickly explained her current situation to Jonathan.
Rosalie could sense that Yvette was becoming increasingly unstable. It was clear that trying to persuade the latter through the video call to deactivate the bomb and spare her life had become impossible.
Jonathan frowned, then suddenly pulled over Kurt, who was being held by the bodyguards. “Did you arrange for Yvette to do this?”
Kurt smiled. “Yes. After what you and Rosalie did to her, of course, she wanted to seek revenge.”
Jonathan pondered for a moment and then instructed his subordinates, “Call the police, and have the bomb disposal experts from the police station come over.”
“It’s too late.” Kurt added with a beam, “By the time the experts arrive, the bombs around this car will have already exploded. Of course, if you don’t want Rosalie to die in the blast or end up in the sea like this, you can choose to save her life.”
