    Chapter 699


    Amelia gently closed her eyes. “So, if that’s the case, I don’t regret meeting Warren in this lifetime.


    Perhaps it’s fate. I just hope that in my next life, I won’t have to encounter him again.”


    Rosalie pressed her lips. Even though Amelia hade to terms with her fate, Rosalie couldn’t.


    She had to find a way to keep Amelia alive!


    After leaving the hospital, Rosalie made her way to Youngblood Group.


    Both the front desk staff and security recognized her, still remembering Rosalie’s previous visit when


    she insisted on seeing Jonathan at the


    entrance.


    Furthermore, they had previously questioned whether Jonathan would actually meet her, but he had


    ultimately directed Carlos to escort her to the CEO’s office.


    As a result, this time, they were uncertain about whether to allow her ess, finding themselves in a


    quandary.


    As Rosalie contemted calling Jonathan to exin the situation, she noticed Carlos passing by not


    far away. She quickly called out, “Mr. Gibson!”


    Carlos, upon spotting Rosalie, swiftly approached her. “Mrs. Youngblood, what brings you here?”

    This address immediately startled both the front desk staff and the people apanying Carlos.


    “I’m here to find Jon, but I forgot to call and inform him beforeing,” Rosalie exined.


    “Mr. Youngblood is currently in a meeting. Would you like me to escort you to Mr. Youngblood’s office to


    wait?” Carlos suggested respectfully.


    Rosalíe nodded, and Carlos issued a few instructions to those nearby before apanying Rosalie


    into the elevator. Carlos even personally pressed the elevator button for her.

    Within Youngblood Group, although Carlos held the position of a personal assistant and not a high-


    ranking executive, his years dedicated service by Jonathan’s side had earned him immense respect


    from many high-ranking individuals.

    Carlos had never shown such respect to a woman before.


    The way Carlos addressed Rosalie as “Mrs. Youngblood” and Rosalie’s mention of “Jon” raised


    growing suspicion among those present.


    They exchanged puzzled nces, and a certain possibility began to take shape in their minds. The


    disbelief on their faces became even more pronounced.


    They couldn’t help but wonder if “Jon” indeed referred to Jonathan, especially when it seemed that


    Carlos was escorting Rosalie to meet Jonathan just moments ago!


    “Well… um, it appears that Mrs. Youngblood might be pregnant,” someone suddenlymented.


    It was at that moment that everyone recalled Rosalie, with her slender figure, did indeed have a subtle


    bump in her belly, although it wasn’t very noticeable.


    They couldn’t help but continue to specte whether Rosalie was indeed pregnant and whether the


    child might belong to Jonathan.


    If that turned out to be true, it could potentially be a news that sent -shockwaves throughout the


    entire city!


    Following Carlos, Rosalie arrived at the CEO’s office. She had visited this ce several times before


    and feltfortable without the need for Carlos to apany her.


    “You can go. I’ll wait here,” Rosalie said.


    “Sure thing. If you need anything, you can ask the secretary outside at any time,” Carlos replied before


    exiting the room.


    In the spacious office, Rosalie was the sole upant.


    She looked around, and at this moment, she waspletely different from herst visit.


    Back then, she hade to plead for Jonathan’s help due to Lillian’s illness, and her heart had been


    filled with despair.


    However, now, standing here, Rosalie felt like apletely different


    person.


    Rosalie approached Jonathan’s desk, cluttered with numerous files, imagining how busy he must be


    spending most of his time here. Suddenly, her eyes fixed on one of the files on the desk. The cover of


    the file bore the words “Hamilton Jade Gardens.”


    10:161


    Rosalie recalled Hamilton Jade Gardens as a property owned by the Hamilton family, marking their


    significant venture into real estate in recent years. There were widespread rumors that they had


    invested billions in the initialnd acquisition. Over the past two years, the Hamilton family had been


    aggressively marketing and promoting this project, leaving no doubt about its pivotal position in their


    portfolio. “But now… why is this file on Jon’s desk?” Rosalie wondered.


    As Rosalie mulled over the unexpected discovery, the office door suddenly swung open. Startled, she


    inadvertently knocked a file folder onto the floor, scattering its contents.


    As Rosalie gazed at what had spilled out, she found herself frozen in shock. It was a stack of


    photographs, and the subject of these photos was none other than Mnie, Jonathan’ste fiancée


    and the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family!


    Rosalie couldn’t help but wonder why these photos were on his desk.


    Mnie, the woman who hade close to marrying Jonathan but tragically lost her life in a car


    ident. It left Rosalie wondering whether she would have ever crossed paths with Jonathan if not for


    that tragic incident.


    Undoubtedly, that car ident had altered the destinies of many individuals.


    Lost in her thoughts, Rosalie watched as a hand reached down to gather the scattered photos from the


    ground, andter realized that it was Jonathan’s hand!


    Rosalie stared nkly as Jonathan bent down to pick up each of the scattered photos on the ground


    along with the file folder.


    “I…” Her throat suddenly felt dry. “I went to visit Lillian in the hospital, and since it’s still early, I decided


    to stop by and see you.”


    “How’s Lillian doing?” he asked.


    “She’s doing surprisingly well… much better than I expected. She’s actively cooperating with her


    treatment,” Rosalie replied, her gaze fixed on Jonathan as he casually organized the photos back into


    the file folder. Unable to contain her curiosity, she finally spoke up. “These photos…” “Do they bother


    you?” Jonathan asked.


    “Why do you have pictures of Mnie here?” Rosalie asked.


    “Bother me? Well, I must admit, it does stir up some feelings. After all,

    Mnie hade very close to bing Jonathan’s wife, but Mnie is no longer with us. While I


    know that Jonathan’s heart now belongs to me, but… with these photos suddenly appearing on his


    desk, I can’t help but wonder if, deep down, he still misses Mnie,” Rosalie mused.


    “They were sent by the Hamilton family. I’ll arrange to have the photos returned to them,” Jonathan


    replied.


    “Why would the Hamilton family suddenly send pictures of Mnie?” Rosalie asked, her confusion


    growing. After all, Mnie was no longer alive!


    Jonathan gave her a half-smile and said, “Perhaps as a reminder not to forget about her!”


    As he spoke, a fleeting glint of coldness passed through his eyes.


    For a moment, Rosalie looked at the man before her with a sense of astonishment, feeling as if he now


    carried an air of danger she hadn’t sensed before.


    It was as though he had detected her scrutiny, and in an instant, Jonathan returned to his usual warm


    demeanor, the one she was ustomed to when they were together.


    “All right, don’t dwell on it too much. There’s nothing between Mnie and me. My engagement to her


    as my fiancée at that time was merely because Grandpa believed she was a good fit for the


    Youngblood family,” he assured her, gently taking her hand.


    Rosalie offered a faint smile. “I don’t mind at all. After all, that’s all in the past. Besides, I also had a


    boyfriend back then.”
