Chapter 756
Kurt spoke and lifted his chin in the direction about 60 feet away from Rosalie’s car. “There is a device over there that can defuse these devices that will activate those bombs, but only your fingerprints can activate that device.”
As Kurt spoke, the smile on his bruised face became more and more obvious.
Naturally, Jonathan didn’t believe it was so simple.
If it were so easy to save her, there was no need for Kurt to beat around the bush.
“Say what you haven’t finished in one go. Don’t test my patience. I don’t have time to waste with you right now!” Jonathan said harshly.
Rosalie would be in more danger the longer the matter was dragged out.
“However, after you defuse those bombs, the device itself will detonate. In other words, when you save Rosalie, it means that you are going to die!”
Kurt’s voice was not low, obviously deliberately wanting Rosalie to hear these words.
Sure enough, Rosalie’s heart immediately sank after she heard that. She felt as if she was surrounded by a chill.
She didn’t expect that her survival would have to be exchanged with Jonathan’s life.
She thought, “Why? Why is the mastermind scheming to this extent? If they wanted me dead, they could’ve asked Yvette to do it while I was unconscious. Wouldn’t that be much simpler?”
The next moment, Kurt’s words gave Rosalie the answer. “Mr. Leonard set up this trap so you can think clearly whether it is worth risking your life for this woman. You can easily find a replacement even if this woman is gone. If you like her appearance, you can find someone who looks identical to her. That’s not something difficult to achieve.”
After all, the technology in cosmetic surgery was so advanced now. Even if they couldn’t find someone with the same appearance as Rosalie, they could have a woman undergo plastic surgery to have Rosalie’s appearance.
Rosalie didn’t expect Leonard to be the mastermind behind the scheme.
She knew that Leonard didn’t like her going out with Jonathan. Even if she was pregnant, Leonard still didn’t accept her. Still, she never thought that Leonard hated and disliked her so much that he even made such a gamble in the end. Leonard was gambling about whether Jonathan would risk his life for her. “By the way, I should remind you that this bomb-starting device is inductive. When there are more than five people nearby, it will start automatically. Therefore, if we calculate the time when we arrive here, it’s estimated to be only 15 minutes away from the explosion. You should make a decision quickly!

Otherwise, those bombs buried in front of the car will explode automatically, even if others don’t step on them!”
Everyone was shocked after hearing that. Jonathan’s expression darkened further.
He thought, “15 minutes? There’s only 15 minutes left? Moreover, I’m not even sure whether Kurt’s words are true or not.”
At that moment, Carlos was the first one to recover his calmness. He hurriedly asked one of the bodyguards, who used to be a member of the special forces, to check whether the detonation device was really like what Kurt said. He wanted to verify whether refusing one side of the bomb would cause the other side to detonate.
After a brief look, the other bodyguard concluded, “It is true that one side will explode immediately after defusing the bomb on the other side.”
Kurt smiled and added, “Although the explosion will produce an aftereffect if Rosalie rushes forward at the moment of the explosion by flooring the gas pedal, she will naturally not fall into the sea. She can be saved, but you won’t escape the explosion.”
Jonathan remained silent, grimacing.
At that moment, Rosalie finally understood why one of her hands was tied to the handbrake and the other to the steering wheel.
One would die while the other lived. No matter which decision was made, there wouldn’t be a way both could survive.
Now, no one knew how many bombs were buried in front of her car.
It would be too late to investigate carefully. Moreover, if someone accidentally touched the bomb and caused an explosion, it would only lead to the worst result.
Rosalie racked her brain, thinking, “Is there really no chance for both of us to live?”
At that moment, Yvette, who was on the video call right in front of Rosalie, obviously heard those words just now and said to Rosalie with a smile, “How is it? Isn’t it interesting? Rosalie, guess what Jonathan will do. He will eventually abandon you and allow you to perish on your own.”
Rosalie didn’t care about Yvette at all. She only focused on Jonathan.
At that moment, Jonathan was also looking at Rosalie. There seemed to be some determination in his black eyes.
In an instant, Rosalie seemed to feel something and shouted, “Jon, no! There must be another way.”
However, Jonathan took out his phone and turned on the recording function directly. “I, Jonathan Youngblood, will leave all my possessions and wealth to be inherited by my wife, Rosalie Leighton, upon my death. This message is an expression of my true will.”

After saying that, Jonathan threw his phone to Carlos.
Carlos received the phone and froze in astonishment.
Carlos thought, “Is Mr. Youngblood planning to save Rosalie by risking his life? He even recorded his will!”
Carlos didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if Jonathan truly died.
Kurt also seemed to be a little stunned. He looked at Jonathan and asked, “Mr. Youngblood, are you really going to save that woman with your life?”
Jonathan said, “Grandpa wishes to gamble with me, right? Now, he’s going to find out whether he’s winning or losing the bet.”
Kurt was silent for a moment and then said, “There is a recording on the device. It’s left by Mr. Leonard. You can hear it when you press that green button.”
Jonathan didn’t speak and walked toward the device connected to the explosives. Carlos shouted at Kurt, “What the hell are you thinking about? Mr. Jonathan Youngblood is Mr. Leonard Youngblood’s grandson! How could Mr. Leonard let his grandson? Is there any other solution? Hurry up and tell us!”
Kurt said with a faint smile, “There is no other way. This is the only solution. So what if Mr. Jonathan Youngblood is his grandson? He’s not one to concern himself with this.”
Carlos was speechless at once. He thought, “Indeed. Mr. Leonard Youngblood isn’t a person who attaches great importance to familial affection. In fact, there’s hardly any familial affection between them. Is he trying to bet that Mr. Jonathan Youngblood doesn’t have deep feelings for Rosalie?”
