Chapter 757
However, Leonard made a wrong bet. Rosalie was the one who could make Jonathan risk his life.
When Jonathan walked to the device, he could see the countdown time. Now, there were only eight minutes left.
“Jon, no! Let’s think of another way. If Mr. Youngblood wants to bet, he will not just bet like this!” Rosalie said, “Isn’t the Youngblood family what Mr. Youngblood cares about the most? If you are gone, the Youngblood family will be doomed. Mr. Youngblood will never let this happen!”
“Rosie, don’t be afraid. I said I will save you!” said Jonathan as he pressed the green button.
Suddenly, Leonard’s old voice sounded.
“Jonathan, my… ahem… grandson, it seems that you are going to risk your life to save Rosalie. But in the end, you will find that this woman is not worth saving at all! To disarm the alarm device, you need to use your thumbprint to trigger it. Once you press the thumbprint on it, you have to keep pressing it until the time is up, then the alarm device can only be deactivated when the bomb is detonated. But at the same time, the device will explode, and you will be killed directly.”
Leonard’s voice floated in the air, and everyone around him who heard the voice felt a chill in their heart.
Leonard was once the most powerful man in Strico, but he could be so cold-blooded to his grandson after his death.
“However, from the moment your thumb presses the deactivation button until the device explodes, you can choose to leave safely at any time. However, if the deactivation fails, the bomb on the other side will explode directly. Let’s see… ahem… how deeply you love this woman. And… Is this woman worth your life…” The recording of Leonard ended here, and there was an oppressive silence in the air.
Rosalie only felt that her body was trembling. How could Leonard… How could he be so cruel to his grandson?
Why? Why would he do so?
Must Jonathan sacrifice his own life to save her?
“Jon, don’t press the button. Let’s think of another way!” Rosalie shouted.
At this moment, Carlos also hurried to Jonathan and said, “Mr. Youngblood, please calm down!”
“I’m very calm now!” Jonathan said, looking at Rosalie, who was sitting in the car 60 feet away. “Rosie, you have to keep your foot on the accelerator. When the device explodes at my side here, you have to immediately step on the accelerator

and rush forward. Do you understand?”
Rosalie choked. “Jon, listen up. I don’t want you to save me like this. There must be another way!”
“There may be another way, but it’s too late now,” replied Jonathan. Time ticked away second by second.
Now, there were only three minutes left. There was too little that could be done in three minutes.
Without further hesitation, Jonathan squatted down and pressed his thumb against the device. This also meant that he was planning to risk his life.
Rosalie opened her mouth and wanted Jonathan to leave, but all the voices seemed to be stuck in her throat at this moment.
Even though he was crouching down, his eyes were still looking at her, as if he wanted to imprint every bit of her look deep into his heart.
At this moment, she knew that he had already made up his mind to exchange his life for hers.
No matter what she said, he would never leave.
“Rosie, I’m sorry for causing you so much pain and dragging you into this danger. You don’t need to feel guilty about anything. It doesn’t matter whether you want to forgive me or not.” He just wanted her to live well.
Rosalie burst into tears. She had already forgiven Jonathan.
When his thumb pressed on the device, the time on the time display in the car also began to count down.
Rosalie knew that it was the countdown to the explosion. Now, there were only two minutes left.
Was there only two minutes left for her and Jonathan?
In these two minutes, Jonathan could still regret it at any time. Jonathan could leave!
“Carlos, ask someone to pull Jon away!” Rosalie took a deep breath and ordered Carlos.
Carlos was stunned for a moment. If he pulled Jonathan away… Those bombs planted in front of Rosalie’s car would explode immediately!
“If anyone pulls me away, then I’ll bury all of your family. I will do it. Who dares to pull me away?” Jonathan said coldly.
As soon as he said that, no one around him dared to move. Carlos could only secretly cry in his heart.
“Carlos, please go. Don’t stay with me,” Jonathan said, looking at Rosalie again. “Rosie, I do this willingly from the bottom of my heart.”
Willingly? But… She did not want him to die, no matter what.

Suddenly, Rosalie shuddered. “There is still another way,” Rosalie thought, “I have a choice.”
Looking at her hand that was tied to the handbrake, Rosalie decided in her heart. “Babies, I’m sorry. I… I am too selfish,” Rosalie murmured, looking at her raised belly. “I have to bring you all with me to… I’m sorry. I love your daddy very much. I’don’t want your daddy to die.”
Rosalie took a deep breath, held the handbrake in her hand tightly, and said to Jonathan, “Jon, that’s enough. What you’ve done for me is enough.”
Jonathan’s eyes suddenly widened, as if he had realized something. He shouted, “Rosie, no! I don’t allow you to do this. Do you hear me?”
Rosalie suddenly pulled the handbrake.
The next moment, the car fell backward with inertia. The whole car was tilted backward, with more and more of the car’s body hanging in the air.
“I forgive you not because of our children.” Rosalie looked at the handsome and pale face, which was full of fear, panic, and pain.
That… was the man she loved the most.
“So, live well!”
The next moment, she felt the whole car falling down. Through the windshield in front of the car, she saw the blue sky.
She was so selfish to exchange the lives of three children for Jonathan’s.
However… Even though she knew it, she still did it. That man was the one she
took home. It was also the same man who later gave her a home.
She knew that he would be sad for a while in the future.
