Chapter 253


    “How do you think they can help with this? Do you want the Xanthos family to be Jonathan’s


    enemy? Or should the Xanthos family invest hundreds of millions of dors into ourpany to


    boost the stock price?” Howard asked.


    In an instant, Sandra stopped talking. It was not like she knew nothing about business matters. After


    hearing what her husband said, she understood it was impossible for them to ask the Xanthos


    family for help.


    Not to mention whether the Xanthos family coulde up with hundreds of millions in cash at once,


    just the idea of going against Jonathan was already impossible.


    “W-What should we do then?” Sandra was anxious. “What the hell is wrong with Jonathan? How


    could he be so infatuated with a woman like Rosalie? Did she use some enchantment or drug on


    him? She’s just a slut that Zachary didn’t want back then!”


    Howard grew impatient and replied, “That’s enough. You can say whatever you want in front of me,


    but don’t bring this up in front of outsiders. Otherwise, we’ll get into unnecessary trouble,”


    Sandra looked reluctant but did not say anything more.


    “I’ll meet Jonathan and see what he intends to do,” Howard said. He could not let Rosalie be the


    reason for the Hamilton family’s crisis.


    However, when Howard actually met with Jonathan, he was taken aback by the unexpected


    condition thetter proposed.


    “It’s possible for me to back off now. Within ten days, you must raze the shopping mall where you


    once kicked out Rosalie to the ground. Then I’ll consider this matter settled,” Jonathan said


    indifferently.


    Howard could hardly believe his ears. “Razed the mall to the ground?” Did Jonathan mean he had


    to demolish the shopping mall? Setting aside the cost of building, the shopping mall was profitable


    in the city center. Just the task of convincing the shareholders to demolish it would be impossible.


    “Jonathan, I think there might be some misunderstandings between us. Maybe we can discuss


    alternative solutions if you want to seek revenge for Ms. Leighton?” Howard tried to negotiate with


    him to minimize the losses.


    Nevertheless, Jonathan replied, “I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding. But you are right. I want


    to seek revenge for her. You should consider yourself fortunate that I didn’t have someone remove


    your wife’s arm, which was used to hit her. I’ve already shown enough respect to the Hamilton


    family.”


    Instantly, Howard’s face suddenly turned grim. “At the very least, Mnie was your fiancée back


    then. Can you let this go for the sake of Mnie? Or perhaps I canpensate Ms. Leighton


    well?”


    Howard wanted to y the emotional card, but Jonathan stared at him with a half-smile. “For the


    sake of Mnie?”


    It was as if Howard had told the funniest joke in the world.


    Upon hearing what Jonathan said, Howard felt embarrassed. He only felt that he was cornered by


    someone much younger than him. Subconsciously, Howard added, “You are with Rosalie now, but


    does she know what happened back then?”


    With just those words, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense. Jonathan’s dark eyes fixed coldly on


    Howard. His gaze carried an evident sense of anger and murderous intent.


    “There’s a murderous glint in his eyes!” Howard thought. He was startled, and a chill ran down his


    spine as if uttering another word could lead to the end of the Hamilton family.


    If in the past Jonathan had been indifferent to what happened, then in the present, he considered


    those events a taboo.


    At that moment, Howard could only feel that the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat,


    and he could not utter a single word.

    Rosalie arrived at the hospital again to visit Aiden. Unlike thest time, Aiden was awake and


    interacting with Amelia in the ward. Amelia pointed at various objects, continually exining to him


    what each thing was.


    Aiden listened attentively. He was indeed in the state of “listening.” He would use his little fingers to


    point at the objects Amelia had just mentioned and repeat the names.


    Rosalie shouted, “Aiden!”


    In an instant, the little boy turned around and looked in Rosalie’s direction.


    That was something that had never happened before. Without a doubt, Aiden could hear her voice.


    Rosalie’s heart instantly filled with joy for him.


    Being able to hear meant that Aiden could eventually learn to speak. He could be like an ordinary


    person as long as he wore the cochlear imnt.


    While three years old was a bitter, doctors often rmended starting as early as possible.


    Fortunately, it was not toote for Aiden. Children at this age were like sponges, absorbing sounds


    andnguages.


    Rosalie stepped forward and touched his head, saying, “Aiden, you can hear now. Very soon, you’ll


    be able to speak”


    Aiden seemed to be very excited to hear Rosalie’s voice. He waved his hands vigorously at Rosalie,


    pointed in various directions, and made incoherent sounds as if trying to express something.


    Rosalie smiled and responded every time Aiden pointed at something.


    “Why are you here today? Didn’t you visit Aidenst time?” Amelia asked.


    “When I camest time, Aiden was asleep, so I decided toe again today. Fortunately, he’s


    awake.” Then Rosalie asked Amelia, “How is Aiden? Is his condition considered good?”


    “Not bad at all. He’ll be discharged in a couple of days. After that, he still needs a year of special


    courses. The doctor said hisnguage skills should catch up in a year if everything goes smoothly.


    Then he can attend kindergarten like a normal child.”


    Rosalie replied, “If that’s the case, it’s wonderful!”


    “Yeah,” Amelia answered with a smile. After that, she asked Matilda to take Aiden to the hospital


    and poured a ss of water for Rosalie. “Why isn’t Mr. Youngblood here today?”


    “He went to the office. Since I was free at home, I decided toe here.”


    “You and him..” Amelia hesitated momentarily before continuing, “Actually, you don’t have to work


    so hard as a delivery person here. Mr. Youngblood should be able to find you many better jobs.”


    Who would have thought Jonathan’s girlfriend would work as a delivery rider in a small diner like


    hers? Even Amelia found, it unbelievable.


    Rosalie slightly pursed her lips and answered, “Maybe… It’s because of what little remains of my


    pride. I hope that I can still be independent to some extent. I don’t want to be entirely


    dependent on him like a parasite.”


    Perhaps the lessons from her past rtionship with Zachary were too deeply ingrained, which was


    why she insisted on being independent.
