Chapter 55


    It was as if there had never been any emotion.


    However, Carlos had seen those eyes sh with a touch of tenderness when Jonathan spoke to


    Rosalie on the phone. At that time, only did he realize that Jonathan’s eyes were not cold to


    everyone. There was an exception.


    “Mr. Youngblood, the car is waiting outside,” Carlos said.


    “Then, let’s go.” Jonathan said indifferently. He originallycked interest. in the engagement party of


    the Xanthos and Hamilton families this. evening, but now he felt otherwise.


    Zachary, the man who had been with Rosalie before, had long been gone from Rosalie’s heart. It


    was almost impossible for them to get back together again.


    However, Jonathan wanted to y safe. He didn’t want Rosalie and Zachary to have the slightest


    possibility of being together again, and tonight was the perfect time to uproot that possibility.


    “How could that be not interesting?” Jonathan thought.


    After dinner at the rental home, Rosalie, who had nothing better to do, picked up her phone and


    began to browse the web.


    On the Inte today, the marriage of convenience between the Xanthos and Hamilton families


    seemed to dominate the news headlines and trending topics. Although it was just an engagement


    party, everyone knew that engagement was almost equivalent to marriage for prominent families.


    The engagement was just an extra stage, showing the grandness and importance of the marriage.


    Once the engagement party ended, it would be time for the two families to prepare for the wedding


    banquet.


    Rosalie looked at the photo attached to the news piece. It was an engagement photo of Zachary


    and Yvette released by the Xanthos and Hamilton families.


    Yvette, who was wearing a white gown, stood with Zachary, who was also dressed in a white suit. In


    the eyes of outsiders, they looked like a perfect couple.


    Thements following the post were all envious.


    They wrote: [Wow, the rich–and–handsome and the


    14


    10.38


    wealthy–and–beautiful. This is the real marriage of convenience!]


    [It feels like they are a perfect match.]


    [The man chosen by Yvette can’t be bad!]


    Many fans of Yvette desperately advocated tonight’s engagement party, saying that it was the


    engagement of the century, which was utterly romantic.


    It was said that Zachary had booked a whole hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Strico, for tonight.


    It was also said that tonight Zachary ordered 990 thousand white roses for Yvette because she liked


    white roses. Plus, Zachary said that Yvette was like a white rose in his heart, pure and without any


    ws.


    People also said that Zachary bought the Stardust Manor, which was worth 200 million dors, for


    Yvette. And that made countless women envious on the Inte.


    At that moment, as she was reading thements and news, Rosalie somehow felt like a long,


    long time had passed in her life, and everything in the past seemed to be so distant to her now.


    In fact, it had only been three years since Rosalie broke up with Zachary, but it felt almost like her


    previous life. Now that she was reborn and living a new life, Jon asked if she wanted to find a


    backer for herself.


    Back then, Rosalie had thought of Zachary as her backer, someone worth entrusting her life to and


    someone whose embrace she could rest in. To gain recognition from her father and make her


    stepmother like her, Rosalie had always worked hard to cater to everyone since childhood. Even


    though she had many achievements, she lived a tiring life.


    That was why Rosalie had longed for a loved one she could rely on for the rest of her life. But in the


    end, Zachary made her realize that the so–called backer was not dependable at all.


    But now, Jon said that he wanted to be Rosalie’s backer. When Rosalie thought of Jon, a smile


    shed across her face. Perhaps the luckiest thing for her since she got out of prison was to


    encounter Jon.


    Rosalie was lost in her thoughts while browsing the web pages. Suddenly, there was a new post


    saying that Jonathan, who was attending the engagement party, was spotted at the entrance of the


    hotel. However, Jonathan was surrounded by bodyguards, and no one was allowed to photograph


    or film him, including the reporters. If he was captured in


    10-581


    any pictures or videos, all the footage would be deleted immediately on the spot.


    Jonathan appeared to be overly domineering and arrogant, but he did have what it took to do as he


    pleased.


    The poster of that post, who was at the scene, imed that he had taken a photo of Jonathan’s


    back view, risking his life. It was precious and rare as Jonathan was a mysterious figure in the eyes


    of the public. Not only was he followed by bodyguards in and out all the time, but he also refused to


    be interviewed by journalists.


    Even Rosalie, who was charged with killing Jonathan’s fiancée, Mnie, had never seen him.


    Jonathan never attended the trial from beginning to end.


    As for Lillian, she once rushed to Youngblood Group and requested to see Jonathan, hoping to


    exin to him the reason for Mnie’s death. However, Lillian was thrown out before she even had


    a glimpse of Jonathan.


    Sometimes, Rosalie found it somewhat amusing. She had never met Jonathan, but it seemed that


    her life was somehow closely rted to him. Many things that had happened to her had something


    to do with


    Jonathan, including her imprisonment, herwsuit that no one in Strico dared to take, and her


    torture in jail.

    Rosalie scrolled down the post and saw the photo posted by the person. Despite being surrounded


    by a group of bodyguards, Jonathan’s figure was still eye–catching.


    Jonathan had wide shoulders, a small waist, and long legs. His perfect body proportions were


    comparable to that of a model.


    Among the people Rosalie knew, Jon was the only one with such body proportions. Jon’s figure


    shed across Rosalie’s mind. Suddenly, she seemed to feel that Jonathan’s back looked very


    much like Jon’s.


    “Goodness gracious! What am I thinking?” Rosalie thought as she shook her head. To Rosalie,


    Jonathan and Jon were two different people. Besides, Jon had never worn a formal suit. “But Jon


    would look good in a suit, too,” she mused. Staring at the photo of Jonathan’s back, Rosalie couldn’t


    help but fall into deep thoughts.


    Seeing Jonathan at the engagement party, the Xanthos and Hamilton families breathed a sigh of


    relief. After all, they had been worrying that Jonathan might note.


    10:58)


    Many businessmen among the guests came to approach Jonathan, trying to seize the opportunity


    to talk to him. If one made a connection with Jonathan, it would be of great benefit to the future


    business.


    However, Jonathan didn’t bother to deal with those people and simply let Carlos handle them.


    Carlos was busily dealing with all the people and handling their requests, totally exhausted.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan heard anguid, nonchnt voice. “I heard that you seem to be very busy


    recently, and it’s difficult to ask you out.”


    Jonathan looked up at the man before him, who had captivating features and an alienated, cold


    demeanor, but was loved by countless women nheless. “What about you? I heard that recently


    you seem to have a new girlfriend again,” Jonathan said.


    “Yeah, I have,” Calvin answered indifferently as if it was just a daily thing for him.


    “n even made a bet with other people, betting that your previous girlfriend would be able to end


    your bachelor’s life,” Jonathan said.
