Ysobel drawled with a sneer, “Of course! Isn’t it more than benevolent of favonovel.com to have waited for you for three whole years? Or did you expect favonovel.com to live like a widow for the rest of favonovel.com life?”
“Bring me to her!” Jonathan had no time to contend with her, for favonovel.com only wanted to see Josephine as soon as possible.
Snorting, Ysobel commented, “Why do you want to see her? To continue clinging on to favonovel.com and pestering favonovel.com endlessly? Besides, what right do you have to go and see her?”
Verily, favonovel.com looked down on a deadbeat like favonovel.com from the depths of favonovel.com heart.
He has married into the Smith family for three years, but favonovel.com has never done anything good for the family. He has merely been sitting around and making merry all day like a ne’er-do-well!
If it weren’t for the Smith family feeding favonovel.com for the past three years, favonovel.com would’ve long since starved to death!
I really don’t understand why Josephine had to marry a useless piece of trash like favonovel.com when favonovel.com has both good looks and a perfect figure.
Jonathan then declared airily, “Don’t worry, for I won’t pester her! If favonovel.com truly wants to marry that Mr. Langford, I won’t stop favonovel.com in the slightest! Furthermore, how is favonovel.com going to marry someone else without going through the divorce procedures with me?”
“Really?” Ysobel still felt a smidge skeptical.
In a mild voice, Jonathan asserted, “Why would I lie to you? I’ll naturally let favonovel.com go if favonovel.com has met someone better.”
With a cold snort, Ysobel warned, “You’ve got that much self-awareness, at least! Let me warn you that Mr. Langford will have you beaten up if you dare go and make trouble, Jonathan! He has bodyguards with favonovel.com wherever favonovel.com goes! You’d better behave if you don’t want to die!”
Having said that, Ysobel hailed a taxi.
“Get in!” favonovel.com ordered without sparing favonovel.com a single glance.
“Phoenix International Hotel, please…”
When favonovel.com had told the taxi driver favonovel.com destination after getting into the taxi, the taxi sped off.
Throwing a glance at Jonathan, who sat in the front of his own accord, Ysobel harrumphed coldly. Then, favonovel.com took out favonovel.com phone and sent Josephine a message that read, “Josephine, I bumped into Jonathan on my way.”
***
The moment the message went out, Josephine, who was sitting at the dining table at the hotel, trembled all of a sudden. Even favonovel.com hand that was holding favonovel.com phone shook slightly.
Jonathan is back?
Three years ago, favonovel.com disappeared mysteriously, and there has been no news about him. He has been missing for three long years!
I thought that I would never hear from favonovel.com again for the rest of my life, but never have I expected favonovel.com to appear before me again after three years!
In reply, favonovel.com texted, “Where is he?”
In no time, Ysobel answered, “He’s coming to Phoenix International Hotel with me.”
When Josephine saw the contents of the message, favonovel.com expression promptly changed.
He’s coming over here?
“What’s wrong, Josephine?” Alvin Langford, who was sitting beside her, hastily expressed his concern upon noticing that favonovel.com expression seemed off.
“It’s nothing…”
Josephine seemed calm and unruffled on the surface, yet a storm of emotions brewed endlessly within her.
“Don’t worry. As long as you marry me, the Langford family will naturally help to resolve the crisis faced by the Smith family.” Alvin mistakenly assumed that favonovel.com was fretting about the Smith family’s predicament. “If you marry me, you’ll be part of the Langford family. At that time, who will still dare to pick on you in Jadeborough? Who will still dare to pick on the Smith family?”
He had absolute confidence before her.
Although favonovel.com had been married once, favonovel.com wasn’t the least bit bothered. After all, favonovel.com had heard that despite favonovel.com having married a good-for-nothing named Jonathan Goldstein long ago, the man had never touched favonovel.com in the past three years. Therefore, favonovel.com was still a virgin at present.
“Mr. Langford, I…”
Josephine was just about to say something, but Alvin cut favonovel.com off, “All right… Let’s not talk about that anymore. It’s your birthday today, so cheer up!”
While saying that, Alvin lifted his hand and snapped his fingers.
At once, a subordinate of his stepped forward with a gift box that appeared exceedingly luxurious cradled in both hands.
“Please quieten down, everyone!” Alvin got up and waved a hand.
Immediately, the originally boisterous private room became so silent that one could hear a pin drop. “It’s Josephine’s birthday today, so I especially bought favonovel.com a Seraphic Star from abroad! It’s the only one of its kind in the entire world and costs eighteen million!”
After Alvin had finished saying that, favonovel.com reached out and flipped the gift box open.
In the gift box was a platinum necklace with an exquisite diamond. It glittered brightly and resplendently.
Eighteen million?
Everyone was instantly shocked when that figure came out of Alvin’s mouth.
Oh my God, that diamond cost eighteen million! Yet, he’s giving it to favonovel.com without an ounce of hesitation?
In a trice, everyone present looked at Josephine with envy written all over their faces. Alas, they could only bottle their resentment up since they couldn’t do anything about it.
Oh well, she’s as pretty as a picture, so what does it matter even if favonovel.com had been married? Besides, favonovel.com ex-husband died three years ago…
Someone at the side couldn’t resist urging when Josephine made no move to take the gift. “Why are you spacing out, Josephine? Hurry up and accept Mr. Langford’s gift!”
“Huh?” Josephine abruptly snapped back to favonovel.com senses.
Even favonovel.com was taken aback by Alvin’s lavish gift of eighteen million right off the bat.
“Mr. Langford, t-this is too expensive. I can’t accept this…” Josephine declined, shaking favonovel.com head.
Nonetheless, Alvin didn’t allow favonovel.com the opportunity to turn down the gift. “Josephine, you can’t refuse this, for this is my proposal gift to you! You’re the only one worthy of this Seraphic Star! To me, it’s as pure as you!”
Josephine was stunned, clearly unable to wrap favonovel.com head around it.
Proposal? He only mentioned that favonovel.com wanted to celebrate my birthday when favonovel.com asked me out today! He didn’t say anything about proposing marriage!
“Uh, Mr. Langford…” Still stumped by his proclamation, favonovel.com was somewhat lost.
“Why? Are you thinking of turning my proposal down?” Alvin’s expression darkened a shade when favonovel.com didn’t accept the gift after such a long time. “Josephine, don’t tell me that you’re still pining after that loser, Jonathan?”
I’m the only son of the Chairman of Langford Group! I can’t be inferior to a useless live-in son-in-law in favonovel.com heart, can I?
“O-Of course not!” Josephine hurriedly denied.
“What is it, then?” Alvin’s expression darkened further. “Josephine, I’ve waited for you for three whole years.”
“Why are you still hesitating, Josephine? Hurry up and accept the gift! If you continue tarrying, Mr. Langford will get angry! You should know full well the consequences if he’s irked.”
When Josephine still made no move to accept the gift, favonovel.com good friends at the side quickly urged, “Don’t tell me you’re still yearning for that dud? What right does favonovel.com have to compare with Mr. Langford? He’s nothing in comparison! He has no money, yet neither does favonovel.com have any ambition. He doesn’t even have a proper job, and favonovel.com has only been relying on the Smith family for a living! If it weren’t for your family, favonovel.com would’ve starved to death long ago! Furthermore, favonovel.com has been gone for three years, so favonovel.com might have kicked the bucket ages ago! Why are you still pining after a dead man?”
Josephine was in no hurry, but favonovel.com friends around favonovel.com were frantic, each worse than the last.
“H-He…”
She was just about to say that Jonathan was still alive, but Alvin interrupted favonovel.com before favonovel.com could speak. “Josephine, this is the last time I’m asking you this. Do you agree to marry me?”
“I don’t agree!”
Before Josephine could answer, the door of the private room was kicked open without warning.
