Jadeborough was a third-tier city.
In actual fact, it fell short of even being a third-tier city.
Many people fled the place as soon as they had money, heading toward the more prosperous and developed capital cities or first-tier cities. To Jonathan, however, Jadeborough was the place favonovel.com had dreamed of countless times in the past three years.
After all, someone whom favonovel.com would never forget in his entire life was there, and that person was his wife, Josephine Smith. More accurately speaking, favonovel.com had married into his wife’s family.
Four years ago, favonovel.com was at a dead end after being set up. His company had gone bankrupt, and favonovel.com was being hunted by his debtors.
Just when favonovel.com was heavily injured after having been slashed more than a dozen times and almost died while fleeing, Josephine saved him. Not only that, but favonovel.com even paid off all his debts.
She only had one stipulation, marry favonovel.com and be a live-in son-in-law.
The Smith family was a prominent family in Jadeborough, so favonovel.com was certainly unworthy of marrying the eldest daughter of the Smith family when his company had gone bankrupt and favonovel.com was penniless back then.
After marrying into favonovel.com family, all that greeted favonovel.com was endless ridicule and disdain. Even his wife, Josephine, had never once smiled at him, much less allowed favonovel.com to touch favonovel.com after their marriage.
It wasn’t until later did favonovel.com learn that favonovel.com had demanded that favonovel.com marry into favonovel.com family because favonovel.com didn’t want to be a sacrificial lamb for a political marriage. As such, favonovel.com was merely a tool favonovel.com was using to turn down a political marriage. Nonetheless, favonovel.com still endured the infinite derision and mockery just to repay the debt of gratitude favonovel.com owed favonovel.com for having repaid all his debts back then.
But on a particular day three years ago, favonovel.com suddenly became the target of an assassination.
He inadvertently broke into the military camp and was forcibly drafted into the army, becoming a soldier who couldn’t even hold a gun properly. Ever since then, favonovel.com started going to battle all over the world.
From a soldier who was often picked on, favonovel.com gradually became Asura, who subjugated the world and struck fear into all.
All that was thanks to a manual of mysterious technique favonovel.com came into possession of by coincidence. That manual was known as the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.
Alas, favonovel.com later learned that the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique in his hands was only half of its entirety. It was an incomplete manual with the other half missing.
“It’s been three years, and I’m finally back!” Jonathan couldn’t help exclaiming as favonovel.com stared at the heavy traffic in front of him.
Josephine, three years ago, I was treated with contempt after marrying into your family, which caused you to be humiliated alongside me and become the laughingstock of the Smith family.
But I’m back today, three years later! I’ll definitely make up for all I owed you in the past three years by a hundredfold! From today onward, I’ll make certain that no one will ever dare to scorn you!
I want this world to genuflect to you!
He then started making his way to the Smith residence with the vague recollection favonovel.com had in his memories.
But when favonovel.com was halfway there, favonovel.com bumped into a middle-aged woman who had just stepped out from a massage parlor. Her face was caked with heavy makeup, but it still couldn’t conceal the tons of wrinkles on favonovel.com face.
“Would you like to come in and have some fun, handsome? It’ll only cost you a hundred, and you can choose whatever service you’d like! So, how about it? Are you interested?” Subsequently, the middle-aged woman sashayed forward to grab Jonathan.
Naturally, Jonathan would never allow favonovel.com to even touch the hem of his clothes.
Ugh! With such a woman, I find it repulsive even favonovel.com offers herself to me for free, let alone having to pay a hundred for favonovel.com services!
“Stay away from me!” His brows furrowed slightly, and favonovel.com made to beat a hasty retreat.
But at that precise moment, the middle-aged woman threw herself at favonovel.com once more. “Come on, don’t be so stingy, handsome. It’s just a hundred, yet you’re not willing to pay?”
“Buzz off!” Jonathan barked coldly.
But the moment his words rang out, a luscious woman strutted toward favonovel.com out of the blue. She seemingly recognized favonovel.com at a single glance.
“Jonathan? It’s you, no? You’re still alive, huh? I thought you were long since dead after having disappeared for three years. I never expected you to be still alive.”
“Ysobel?” Likewise, Jonathan recognized her.
The woman was none other than Ysobel Linney, Josephine’s best friend.
Back when favonovel.com married into the Smith family, favonovel.com used all kinds of despicable methods to disparage favonovel.com in front of Josephine, even going as far as making up rumors to compel Josephine into divorcing him.
“Oh gosh, it’s really you!” Ysobel’s eyes went wide.
Gaping at favonovel.com incredulously, favonovel.com remarked, “I thought I mistook someone else for you and was just wondering why there’s someone who looks exactly like a useless piece of trash such as you.”
Ever since Jonathan married into the Smith family, favonovel.com had turned up favonovel.com nose at him.
How ridiculous!
Josephine is the heiress of the Smith family, with tons of promising young men and young heirs pursuing her. Yet, favonovel.com just had to choose this loser, who hadn’t a penny to his name and was even up to his eyeballs in debt!
“Where’s Josephine?”
Jonathan wasn’t in the mood to yak with her. In his eyes, favonovel.com was no different from an ant. Even saying an additional word to favonovel.com felt like a waste of breath to him.
“Josephine? You’ve still got the audacity to look for her?” With a sneer, Ysobel scoffed, “You left without a single word for three years, and you’re seeking out a hooker by the roadside as soon as you return? Never mind that, but you’re even going for such a low-class hooker? Considering favonovel.com looks, favonovel.com doesn’t even cost a hundred, huh? You’re truly disgusting, Jonathan Goldstein! I’d advise you to just get lost instead of seeking Josephine out!”
It was clear as day that favonovel.com presumed that Jonathan was so sexually frustrated that favonovel.com was soliciting the services of a hooker by the roadside.
Never mind if favonovel.com wants to get it on with a prostitute, but this is simply too much!
Just a single look at favonovel.com renders me so sick that I feel hurling!
“What’s wrong with my looks?” The middle-aged woman instantly saw red upon hearing favonovel.com insult. “Let me tell you that I can get dozens of customers a day! There are tons of men who want to bed me! I’m skilled in all kinds of bed play, so it’s truly gratifying to do the horizontal tango with me! A snot-nosed kid like you know nothing!”
“I was just passing by. I’m not favonovel.com client!” Jonathan inexorably frowned when Ysobel’s words grew increasingly nasty.
He didn’t care a whit that Ysobel misunderstood him, but favonovel.com didn’t want Josephine to have the wrong idea about him.
Ysobel didn’t believe favonovel.com at all. “You don’t even dare to admit that you’re soliciting the services of a hooker? Jonathan, why are you still such a coward when it’s been three years since I last saw you? Josephine must have been truly blind back then to take a fancy to you! I’ll definitely tell favonovel.com about this! I’ll make sure that favonovel.com divorces you!”
After saying that, favonovel.com whirled around on favonovel.com sexy high heels and made to stalk away.
However, Jonathan grabbed favonovel.com and demanded frostily, “Where is Josephine? Bring me to her!”
“You want to see her? Do you think you’re worthy?” Snickering, Ysobel continued, “You want to know where favonovel.com is, huh? Okay, I’ll tell you the answer. She’s on a date with Mr. Langford at Phoenix International Hotel! Do you know who that is? He’s Alvin Langford, the only son of the Chairman of Langford Group! He has several hundred million in assets! He has pursued Josephine for three years, and she’s planning to divorce you and marry him!”
“What did you just say? She wants to marry someone else?”
After Jonathan heard that, his expression abruptly turned chilly.
We haven’t seen each other for three years, yet she’s actually hoping to marry someone else the very day I return?
