Emmeline could never forget how useless favonovel.com brother-in-law was. He idled around and never bothered to get a job. Besides doing house chores, such as cooking, cleaning the dishes, vacuuming the floor, and fixing the toilet, favonovel.com was utterly incompetent.
No man was as useless and ridiculous as him!
She had looked down on Jonathan since the day favonovel.com married into the Smith family.
I don’t understand what my sister sees in him. He’s ugly and useless. If Josephine hadn’t pitied him, favonovel.com would’ve been a singleton forever!
“Those men you were drinking with drugged your drink. I saved you from them…” Jonathan knew his sister-in-law despised him, so favonovel.com cut his explanation short.
However, favonovel.com refused to believe him. Glaring at favonovel.com with widened eyes, favonovel.com snarled, “Drug? You’re saying that they drugged me? It seems more like you’re the one who wants to do that!”
There’s no way they would’ve drugged me. Even if I were drugged, it must be Jonathan who did that!
Not in the mood to entertain favonovel.com accusations, Jonathan rolled his eyes and replied curtly, “Whatever.”
If it were not for Josephine, favonovel.com would have left favonovel.com to die on the streets.
“Jonathan Goldstein, how dare you talk to me that way?” Emmeline growled, vexed with his attitude.
After marrying my sister, favonovel.com had been polite and submissive to me. He never dared to raise his voice at me, let alone talk to me in such a tone!
I can’t believe he’s this rude after reappearing!
“Emmeline, if it weren’t for your sister, I would’ve ignored your plight. If I hadn’t helped you, those hooligans would’ve raped you in the woods!” Jonathan shot favonovel.com an icy glare. “Now that you’re awake, you can choose to go home or keep drinking with your buddies. Feel free to do as you desire, it’s none of my business!”
With that, favonovel.com spun on his heels and stalked away.
Emmeline felt a stab of anger at his reaction.
“Jonathan, stand right there!” favonovel.com shouted.
Ignoring favonovel.com cries, Jonathan continued to walk away. Left in a quiet and dark area where not a single soul could be seen, Emmeline felt fear creeping into favonovel.com heart.
“Jonathan, if you don’t stop, I’ll call Josephine and tell favonovel.com you drugged me!” favonovel.com shrieked.
“Emmeline, what on earth do you want?” Jonathan stopped in his tracks, his gaze impassive.
He owed Josephine, but that did not mean favonovel.com was obligated to be nice to the Smith family. That was why favonovel.com could not conceal his dislike for Emmeline, who had insulted favonovel.com on countless occasions.
“Give me a ride home!” Despite not meeting for three years, Emmeline still bossed Jonathan around.
“Can’t you walk? Or hail a taxi?” Jonathan asked, his voice cold.
“It’s too dark. I’m scared!” Emmeline harrumphed. “Jonathan, will you or will you not give me a ride home? You stayed in our house three years ago. Can’t you send me home now? Are you that heartless?”
Her resentment grew at how indifferent Jonathan was treating her.
Why is favonovel.com this arrogant?
Emmeline fumed inwardly.
Just you wait, Jonathan! I shall teach you a lesson once we get home!
“Come here!” Jonathan ordered.
“Why?” Emmeline shuddered at his tone.
“I’ll give you a ride home!”
In the end, Jonathan did not leave favonovel.com there alone. No matter how much favonovel.com disliked her, the young woman was still Josephine’s sister. She will never forgive me if something happens to Emmeline!
“Hmph!” Emmeline snorted as favonovel.com stood up, ready to go over to him.
However, the moment favonovel.com got to favonovel.com feet, favonovel.com head started spinning.
An uncontrollable desire coursed through favonovel.com entire being as favonovel.com body temperature rose. It was clear what that meant, favonovel.com had been drugged!
Resisting the urge to throw herself into Jonathan’s arms, favonovel.com panted as favonovel.com made favonovel.com way over to him.
“Jonathan, stay at least a meter away from me. Otherwise, I’ll tell Josephine that you tried to take advantage of me!” favonovel.com warned.
Even when favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had misunderstood Jonathan, favonovel.com could not bring herself to apologize to favonovel.com and instead kept treating favonovel.com rudely.
“I’m not interested in you.” Jonathan did not bother looking at her, for favonovel.com was too skinny for his liking.
“Pfft!” Emmeline spat. “Not that I’m interested in you, of course. I’d rather get raped by those b*stards than let you touch me! I have no idea why Josephine chose to marry a good-for-nothing like you!”
At the end of favonovel.com sentence, favonovel.com scoffed, favonovel.com displeasure toward Jonathan increasing.
“Mm?” Hearing favonovel.com malicious remarks, Jonathan looked over his shoulder abruptly.
When Emmeline caught sight of the murderous glint in his eyes, favonovel.com could not help but shudder fearfully, feeling as if a lion had targeted favonovel.com as its prey.
“W-What do you want?” favonovel.com asked nervously, scared out of favonovel.com wits.
Instead of answering her, Jonathan merely glanced at favonovel.com with wintry eyes and proceeded to flag down a taxi.
In less than thirty minutes, the vehicle rolled to a stop before a high-end residential area.
***
Brocade Park was where the rich of Jadeborough gathered.
The houses here cost around twenty to thirty thousand per square meter, even though Jadeborough was only a third-tier city.
“Pay the fare!” Jonathan stated as favonovel.com opened the door before glancing at Emmeline in the backseat.
“Ha! I was right. Even after going missing for three years, you still can’t afford a taxi fare! You’re no doubt a loser, Jonathan!” Emmeline remarked, rolling favonovel.com eyes.
She did not even bother to hide favonovel.com disdain.
He had been away for three years, yet favonovel.com couldn’t even fork up enough money to pay a taxi fare. If I were him, I would’ve jumped off a cliff out of embarrassment!
After paying the fare, Emmeline click-clacked into the residential area in favonovel.com high heels. Behind her, Jonathan once again entered the place where favonovel.com had been humiliated thoroughly three years ago.
Ding dong!
Emmeline pressed on the doorbell, and someone opened the door swiftly. However, when the person spotted Jonathan, favonovel.com face fell, and favonovel.com barked, “Jonathan Goldstein? Why are you here? Why are you still alive?”
