The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 762

Everything went as per Leonard’s expectations, and perhaps the only thing that surprised him was Rosalie’s willingness to sacrifice her life.

Despite his initial belief that it was improbable, he still gave Rosalie a way out. However, Leonard’s perception of how unachievable the matter was led him to only arrange for Rosalie’s survival and not plan the subsequent steps of her journey.

“Therefore, I’m the only one who can make the arrangements for her,” thought Kurt, uncertain if his arrangements were correct.

He knew that Leonard desired a strong leader for the Youngblood family with no vulnerabilities, and Rosalie was, in fact, Jonathan’s weakness.

Yet… In the end, Leonard still lost the bet, as he was defeated by both Jonathan and Rosalie, who did not act as he had expected them to.

“If he were still alive, would Mr. Youngblood have altered his views upon witnessing these events? I also wonder if he would endorse my actions,” contemplated Kurt as he gazed at the unconscious Jonathan. His thoughts were filled with a distinct sense of reflection.

Bending down, Kurt drew near to the unconscious Jonathan’s ear. In a voice audible only to himself, he whispered, “Mr. Youngblood, if Rosalie genuinely loves you, I’m sure she’ll return to your side someday in the future. If she doesn’t reappear, it simply signifies that her love isn’t as profound as we’ve thought it to be.”

After all, only time could tell.

Five years later, Strico’s cream of the crop had gathered at an extravagant banquet. Among them, the chairman of Youngblood Group, Jonathan Youngblood, stood out among the crowd.

At 33 years old, he held the reins of the vast Youngblood family. Despite having a son and an adopted daughter, numerous socialites were still eager to catch his attention in hopes of becoming the lady of the Youngblood family.

The ladies made every effort to join any banquets Jonathan attended, yet none could truly approach him.

Jonathan was like an aloof iceberg, never approaching others or allowing anyone to come near him.

Calvin, standing in a nearby corner, observed Jonathan. The Jonathan, in his view, was adorned in a tailored iron-gray suit with impeccably combed-back hair. His exquisitely handsome face bore a subtle smile resembling a flawless mask. He appeared
