Chapter 813
“That child was about the same age as Jen and Guille, but his circumstances within that family were
incredibly challenging. Today, he injured other children, and no one knew what would happen to
him,” Rosalie contemted.
“What’s troubling you? What’s on your mind?” Jonathan’s voice resonated in Rosalie’s ear.
“I was thinking about the boy I saw earlier today, the one who injured others at the restaurant’s
amusement area. I’m curious about how his family will react and whether he’ll face any
consequences,” she shared. “Why, are you deeply concerned about that child?” he asked.
“Yeah,” she affirmed with a nod. “Perhaps it’s because I noticed a certain expression on his face
today, one that reminded me of how you appeared the first time I met you. So, I couldn’t help but
feel concerned for him.” “Like me?” Jonathan raised an eyebrow slightly.
“More like the look in his eyes and his demeanor. His
gaze seemed hollow,pletely different from what one would expect from a child. But he cares
deeply for his sister. Had it not been for the other boy pushing and injuring his sister, he likely
wouldn’t have resorted to violence,” she borated, sharing her observations.
“Really?” Jonathan responded, his expression subtly shifting. “He has a big sister he cares about,
and I… also have a sister I care about.” If he hadn’t met her back then, his life would have taken a
different path. He would never have known that loving someone could be like that.
“Since you’re so concerned about this child, I’ll go and talk to the staff. I’ll have them go to the
amusement park to locate the child’s family, and mediate the situation so that his family doesn’t
make things more difficult for him due to the altercation,” he assured.
Upon hearing that, Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief.
Later that night, after Rosalie had drifted into slumber, Jonathan opened his eyes and sat up slowly,
fixating his gaze on her peaceful sleeping form, deep in thought.
“Even if you are my weakness, so what? If therees a day when someone exploits you to
threaten me, I won’t allow you to face it alone, no matter the circumstances,” he murmured as if
making a solemn

Only the rhythm of her breathing offered a response.
“Perhaps, as you said, it would be best if that day neveres…” His voice had barely trailed off
when suddenly his head throbbed as if something shed through his thoughts.
Jonathan’s body tensed, and what flickered in his mind was a seaside cliff, as though something
had plummeted, followed by the sound of his own anguished cries.
“Ah!” He gasped, pressing one hand tightly against his chest. “What was that suffocating sensation I
had just experienced?”
His heart raced, its beats unusually rapid. The only sce was that the headache was brief,
dissipating swiftly. But at the same time, the image that shed through his mind was equally swift.
It was so fast that he only caught a fleeting glimpse of the cliff.
But he recognized that cliff. It was the very same cliff where Rosalie had fallen into the sea. Carlos
had once mentioned that back then, Rosalie couldn’te to terms with the events of the past
case. Following her departure, she had gone to that very ce and, ultimately, tumbled into the
sea.
As for the reason why Rosalie had gone there, Carlos and the others were in the dark, and even
Rosalie herself had lost that part of her memory.
“Nevertheless, if that cry had emanated from me, it implies… was I also at the seaside during that
time? Why did Carlos never mention my presence at the seaside back then? What urred during
those moments? Could Rosalie’s fall into the sea have been a mere ident?” Jonathan’s thoughts
were inundated with questions.
“Ms. Sabatini, I’ve obtained the information you asked me to investigate regarding Rosalie’s five
years in Lofbury. The results are in, and I’m confident it’s what you are seeking. However, there is
an additional cost,” a male voice from the other end of the call conveyed to Agyness.
“What? More money?” Agyness’ mood, which had briefly improved, immediately soured.
“When you tasked me with the investigation earlier, you never disclosed that this individual is the
lady of the Youngblood family, Jonathan’s wife! Providing you with this informationes with
significant risks. The money you gave me previously is hardly sufficient,” the other party..
exined.

“That sum… of money, it’s a staggering 60,000 dors!” Agyness silently resented, but she asked,
“How much are you asking for?”
“1 million dors,” came the response from the other end.
Agyness clenched her teeth together so forcefully that they might fracture. 1 million dors was pure
extortion.
“Do you think the information you’re offering is worth 1 million dors?” Agyness retorted, clearly
irritated.
“It’s worth every penny,” replied the individual with a smile. “Ms. Sabatini, your ultimate desire is to
oust Rosalie and be thedy of the Youngblood family, isn’t it? The information I can provide is
more than enough to secure your sess! Being thedy of the Youngblood family and 1 million
dors, which one do you think holds greater importance, Ms. Sabatini? I’m sure you understand.”
Agyness pursed her crimson lips. She did indeed have 1 million dors. Her social status had
skyrocketed over the two years since her daughter was adopted into the Youngblood family as their
adopted daughter.
The Youngblood family had merely provided her with a ce to live and 40,000 dors per month.
But she leveraged her connections with the Youngblood family and ventured into live-streaming
channels. She enlisted socialites to assist in product sales and even engaged in resale businesses
through those connections, which can be said to have earned her considerable lucrative deals.
Nevertheless, the Youngblood family had often turned a blind eye to her ventures in the past.
But, after Jonathan publicly announced Rosalie’s identity within the upper-ss coterie, those
socialites instinctively began to distance. themselves from Agyness upon learning of the
development.
Moreover, in the wake of Carlos’ caution at the boutique, several of the business rtionships she
had established with connections linked to the Youngblood family were severed,pelling her to
terminate those
contracts.
Although the Youngblood family hadn’t openlymunicated anything to her, Agyness knew that
the sudden termination of those business deals. was unquestionably the Youngblood family’s doing.
They were no longer willing to permit her to exploit their connections.
With her ie sources suddenly disrupted, most of her avenues for making money had been
blocked, and the money at her disposal was
10:131
poised to dwindle.
Her primary focus then was to effect aplete turnaround in her situation. Failing to do so would
leave her relying solely on the 40,000 dors per month provided by the Youngblood family, which
wouldn’t be adequate to cover her future expenses.
At that moment, Agyness paid little attention to how she used to live. Her singr focus was to
amass luxurious possessions and arm herself with them. She wanted to have all those who had
once looked down on her kneel before her.
“Very well, I’ll give you 1 million dors. I hope the information you provide is worth this sum,”
Agyness dered.
“It’s unquestionably worth it,” replied the other party.

Upon reviewing the information transmitted to her, Agyness couldn’t help but be taken aback. Then,
a look of pleasant surprise crossed her face. “This is even better than I had anticipated. As long as I
make the best use of this information, Rosalie will undoubtedly suffer a significant blow to her
reputation!”
Meanwhile, Kurt was detained in the detention center, and following that, the Youngblood family
would press charges against him for the incident involving the child.
