Chapter 754

Jonathan narrowed his dark eyes and stared at Kurt. “Really? You didn’t know she escaped fromprison?”

“I don’t know,” Kurt insisted.novelbin

“All right, what is the matter you mentioned earlier that you insisted on discussing with me in person?Why not talk about it now?” Jonathan said.

“Mr. Leonard Youngblood said he wanted to make a bet with you if Rosalie found out the truth after hisdeath, and she still stayed with you.”

“Bet?” Jonathan was stunned.

“Yes, bet!” Kurt replied. “Mr. Leonard Youngblood wanted to make a bet with you to see if you would belike your father, willing to sacrifice everything, even your own life, for the sake of a woman.”

Jonathan’s face suddenly darkened. “What do you mean?” he asked. “Grandfather has gone now. Howcould he bet on such a thing?” he wondered.

Kurt smiled but remained silent. However, with his swollen face, the smile was somewhat unsettling.

“Tell me! What does it mean?” Jonathan’s voice deepened, and his cold eyes suddenly became sharp.

“When the time comes, you will naturally know,” Kurt said. “Mr. Leonard Youngblood hoped youremember the lesson from your father, that in the end, you will get nothing, risking everything for awoman,” he added.

“How I handle things is none of your business!” Jonathan stepped forward and grabbed Kurt by thecollar. “What did my grandfather tell you to do? You better tell me. Otherwise, you’ll be the one introuble.”

Kurt seemed indifferent as he replied, “I had nothing back then, and I followed Mr. LeonardYoungblood. He saved my life. Now that he’s gone, of course, I have to follow his orders. Mr.Youngblood, I’ve said what needs to be said. I won’t reveal what shouldn’t be said. When the timecomes, you’ll know. You’ll naturally know.”

Jonathan pursed his thin lips tightly. He naturally knew what kind of person Kurt was. He was the mostloyal of the people around Leonard.

He pondered, ‘Grandfather… What exactly did you order him to do?

A bet?

Grandpa has gone, and now there’s a bet on whether I’d sacrifice my life for a woman. How does heplan to make this bet? However, no matter how the bet goes, that woman… Rosie is inevitablyinvolved!’

“Rosie?” Jonathan’s body suddenly trembled as if he had just thought of

something. Without hesitation, he took out his phone and dialed Rosalie’s

number.

But there was no answer from the other end of the phone.

Jonathan’s expression suddenly turned extremely gloomy. Off to the side, Carlos seemed to sensesomething. He said anxiously, “Mr. Youngblood…”

“Contact the people at the manor immediately and ask them to confirm Rosalie’s current situation. Also,strengthen the security around the bedroom,” Jonathan instructed.

“Yes!” Carlos quickly replied.

He hastily called the manor’s security head and began to give instructions regarding the matter.

After a while, Carlos’s face suddenly turned pale. He panicked and hurriedly said to Jonathan, “Mr.Youngblood, something’s wrong. Mrs. Youngblood is missing!”

“What?” Jonathan suddenly snatched the phone from Carlos’s hand, sternly questioning the person onthe other end, “What’s going on? Where is Rosalie? She’s not in the manor?”

There was a panicked and stuttering voice on the other end of the phone, “We… went to Mrs.Youngblood’s room. Renee and the caregiver are unconscious in there, and there is no sign of Mrs.Youngblood. There are no surveillance cameras in the bedroom, but the outside one shows that Mrs.Youngblood has never left the bedroom. Also, in the room… there’s still some undispersed sedative.”

“Search! Turn the whole manor upside down and find her!” Jonathan ordered. He threw the phone backto Carlos and stared at Kurt as if he was going to kill someone. He grabbed Kurt’s hair with one handand pushed him against the wall. “Tell me, where did you take Rosalie? If anything happens to her, I’lltake your life!” With a thud, Kurt’s head hit the wall heavily.

However, Kurt started to laugh instead. “Even if you kill me, I won’t tell you. When the time comes, youwill naturally know!”

“Say it!” Jonathan ruthlessly slammed Kurt’s head against the wall. At that moment, all he could thinkabout was Rosalie.

Carlos fearfully looked at Jonathan, whose face was clearly filled with a strong sense of hostility rightnow. For Jonathan, Rosalie was untouchable.

Kurt would have to die here if things continued like that.

As Carlos thought about it, he hurriedly said to Jonathan, “Mr. Youngblood, why don’t you take Mr.Wilmer back to the Youngblood residence first? He must know something. If you really make him… um,if he ends up in the hospital, we might not get any information from him.”

Carlos tried to be gentle.

His words finally calmed Jonathan a little.

“Take Kurt back to the Youngblood residence!” With that, Jonathan left Kurt

behind and hurriedly walked outside.

Carlos quickly asked two bodyguards to lift Kurt and followed behind.

Back at the Youngblood residence, Jonathan rushed directly to the bedroom. Trained hounds werebarking at the underside of the bed.

“Move the bed away!” Jonathan ordered.

When the bed was lifted, everyone suddenly saw the entrance to a secret passage. Jonathan’s faceturned pale in an instant. There was such a secret passage in the bedroom, and he… didn’t knowabout it at all.

He thought in shock, “What the hell is this? When did it appear?”

The security guards were already investigating the entrance of the secret passage. After Kurt wasbrought into the room, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Everything was going smoothly.

Jonathan suddenly grabbed Kurt by the collar and said, “You knew about this secret passage a longtime ago, didn’t you?”

“Yes. Mr. Leonard Youngblood told me about it. He had people build this manor, and he had the mostdetailed construction drawings, including this secret passage, which was also built under his order!”Kurt explained.

Even if Kurt didn’t say the rest of the words, Jonathan could guess what he was going to say.

He pondered, ‘Kurt deliberately showed himself to lure me out. Once I’d left the manor, the otherperson would use this secret passage and take Rosalie away.

Grandfather probably had conceived such a plan before his death and then gave the order to Kurt forthe execution.’
