Chapter 720

“Jonathan, no matter what, there’s still a connection between the Hamilton family and the Youngblood family. You don’t really want to wipe them out entirely, do you?” Howard spoke up. “Hamilton Jade Gardens project is vital for the Hamilton family. Even if the Youngblood family takes it, it won’t be much gain for you. Why make things difficult for everyone?”

“The Hamilton family has had its glory for long enough. It is time for it to come to an end,” Jonathan remarked with an air of nonchalance. His demeanor exuded a lazy indifference, a stark contrast to Howard’s visibly tense posture.

“Haven’t the Hamilton family and the Youngblood family forged successful partnerships over these years?” Howard pressed on. “If you have any objections or conditions, please, let’s discuss them openly. What is it that you truly seek? We’d be willing to find a compromise if it’s within our means…”

Jonathan cut Howard off with a cold interruption, “I want all the Hamilton family’s Strico-based companies removed from the city.”

Upon hearing Jonathan’s words, Howard’s face darkened. The demand hung heavy in the air, promising to deliver a devastating blow that could obliterate the very foundation of the Hamilton family’s business empire in Strico.

While the Hamilton family held assets beyond the city limits, their core industries were deeply rooted in Strico, and removing them would mean an end to the Hamilton legacy.

“You…” Howard stared at Jonathan, his words caught in his throat. “How could you… Is this because of…”

A startling notion raced through Howard’s mind. Could Jonathan’s abrupt decision to sever business ties with the Youngblood family be driven by a love so intense that he would risk annihilating the Hamilton family for it? The idea seemed almost too outrageous to entertain, yet Howard struggled to conceive any other explanation.

The sole point of contention between the Hamilton family and Jonathan revolved around the incident of Rosalie’s imprisonment.

“Is this about Rosalie?” Howard finally voiced, though he remained incredulous at the thought that it could be because of her.

“So what if it is because of her?” Jonathan admitted without hesitation.

So, it was indeed for Rosalie. Howard took a deep breath, struggling to grasp the situation. “But Yvette had paid her dues for what she did to Rosalie back then!” Back then, Yvette was pressured by Jonathan into a humiliating departure from the entertainment industry because of Rosalie.

The Hamilton family had initially considered this act as their way of making amends, but it now seemed wholly inadequate.
