“Is that important?” Jonathan then countered in a placid voice, “I only know that the owner of No. 1 Villa is now me.”
“And it’s true just because you said so?” Upon hearing that, Margaret immediately scoffed, “Why don’t you say that you’re also the owner of the King of War residence in Jazona?”
“It’s not a problem if I want it,” Jonathan replied blandly.
Would Zachary dare to have any objections if I were to say something to that effect?
“Oh wow, go on and shoot your mouth off!” Margaret sneered, not believing his words in the least. “Who in the whole of Jadeborough doesn’t know that the owner of No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights is the Warhol family in Jazona? Do you know of the Warhol family? Are you aware of their influence in Jazona? Compared to them, the Blackwood family that tops the four most prominent families in Jadeborough is nothing! And you think you’re worthy of living in No. 1 Villa? You’re dreaming!”
Once again, favonovel.com wore an expression of utter contempt.
What’s the status of the Warhol family?
They’re one of the four prominent families in Jazona. In fact, they’re the most elite family in the whole of Jazona!
Rumor has it they spent hundreds of millions on the renovation of No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights alone.
Could favonovel.com fork out a couple hundred of million? And even if favonovel.com could, would they be willing to sell it?
No. 1 Villa isn’t a place someone could live in just because favonovel.com has money!
“Whatever…” Jonathan decided not to waste any more time convincing favonovel.com otherwise.
I bought the place for Josephine in the first place, so I don’t mind moving in right now as long as she’s willing to leave with me.
“Why? Are you feeling guilty now?” In Margaret’s opinion, the fact that favonovel.com didn’t continue refuting favonovel.com was a sign of his guilt. “Don’t go around bragging all day if you don’t have that capability! Watch out, for you might just shoot yourself into the foot one day! Hurry up and cook instead of spouting nonsense!”
She waved a hand impatiently, dismissing Jonathan as though favonovel.com was chasing a fly away.
He doesn’t have the slightest capability but goes around talking big all day long!
Ignoring her, Jonathan turned to Josephine and queried, “Josephine, are you willing to move into No. 1 Villa with me? If you’re willing to do so, we can move in right away! I’ve already had it all cleaned up.”
“Hah! Go on and keep up your act! Don’t entertain him, Josephine!” Rolling favonovel.com eyes, Margaret dragged Josephine away without bothering to say a single word further to the man.
“That’s enough! Stop bickering!” Josephine shook off favonovel.com hand and maintained with a cold expression on favonovel.com face, “Mom, stop badgering favonovel.com since favonovel.com doesn’t want to cook. Why must you make things difficult for him?”
“I’m making things difficult for him?” Margaret promptly blew a gasket at favonovel.com accusation. “He stays at home all day doing nothing, and favonovel.com doesn’t even have a proper job! How am I making things difficult for favonovel.com when I’m just asking favonovel.com to cook?”
“Who said favonovel.com doesn’t have a proper job? He has already found a job and will be going to work in a few days!” Josephine riposted huffily.
“Are you serious?” Harrumphing, Margaret mocked, “What kind of job can favonovel.com get? Is favonovel.com going into multi-level marketing or being a waiter at a restaurant?”
“He’ll be working at a real estate company!” Josephine rebutted.
“He can get into a real estate company? I think he’ll be dismissed in less than three days!” Throwing Jonathan a disdainful look, Margaret snarled, “Jonathan, I’m asking you this for the last time, are you going to cook?”
“No!” Jonathan rebuffed without delay.
I’m never going to cave to favonovel.com demands anymore! Does favonovel.com really think that I’m still the same person from three years ago?
“If so, get out of the Smith residence! The Smith family doesn’t support a lazy, good-for-nothing bum like you!” Margaret’s finger shot out as favonovel.com threatened to boot favonovel.com out of the Smith residence just like favonovel.com always did every so often back then.
“I don’t need the Smith family to support me!” Jonathan’s expression abruptly turned chilly.
He looked at Josephine and asked, “Are you coming with me, Josephine?”
“Can’t you just bear with it for a bit, Jonathan?” Glimpsing his wintry gaze, Josephine couldn’t help murmuring, “You know my mother’s temper, don’t you?”
“I’ve put up with favonovel.com for four years, so I don’t want to do so anymore!” Jonathan answered frostily.
I owe Josephine, but I don’t owe Margaret!
Three years ago, I thought that I could gain the Smith family’s trust after toiling and laboring at the Smith residence like a dog, but what did I get in the end?
All I got in return was endless jibes and scorns! In favonovel.com eyes, I might even be lowlier than a dog!
“Jonathan, you…” Josephine pointed at favonovel.com even as a glimmer of astonishment flashed across favonovel.com eyes.
After all, back when Jonathan married into the Smith family, favonovel.com had never once defied Margaret as favonovel.com did right then.
“Let favonovel.com go, Josephine!” Margaret cut favonovel.com off with a snort. “He wants to leave, yes? Let favonovel.com go, then! I want to see where favonovel.com could go after leaving the Smith residence!”
“Can you please zip it, Mom?” Josephine was fit to be tied.
“Don’t worry, for I certainly have a place to go after leaving the Smith residence!” After glancing at favonovel.com coldly, Jonathan fished a key out of his pocket. “Josephine, here’s the key to No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights. If you want to see me, go and look for me at No. 1 Villa.”
Having said that, favonovel.com tossed the key to Josephine before striding away.
Are they still hoping that I’ll remain at their beck and call while enduring immeasurable ridicule and mockery like three years ago? No way!
“Jonathan…” At the sight of the man spinning on his heels and leaving, Josephine wanted to chase after favonovel.com instinctually.
Alas, Margaret tugged favonovel.com back just after favonovel.com had taken a few steps. “Stop right there! Why are you chasing after him? Do you still have the slightest hint of dignity left? Well, favonovel.com wants to run away from home? Hah! I shall see how capable favonovel.com is. If he’s so great, favonovel.com can just stay away forever!”
In truth, favonovel.com didn’t take any of Jonathan’s words seriously. No. 1 Villa.
How is favonovel.com worthy of living there when he’s nothing more than a deadbeat?
He’ll probably be kicked out by the guards before favonovel.com could even make it past the gate! After all, those living in Edenic Heights were either wealthy or influential.
Yet, favonovel.com thinks favonovel.com can live there? Hmph!
“You’ve gone too far, Mom!” Josephine hissed while biting favonovel.com lip, jerking favonovel.com head back.
“I’ve gone too far, you said?” Livid, Margaret instantly placed favonovel.com hands at favonovel.com hips and snarled, “Three years ago, who was the one who supported that useless bum for a whole year? And who gave him food and shelter? If it weren’t for me, favonovel.com would’ve probably been sleeping on the streets and frozen to death long ago! And favonovel.com wants to live in No. 1 Villa? I think he’ll likely be sleeping outside its gate!”
“What are you doing, Josephine?” While favonovel.com was still foaming at the mouth, favonovel.com abruptly realized that Josephine wasn’t listening to favonovel.com at all. Instead, favonovel.com broke free of favonovel.com grip and sprinted toward the door.
“I’m going to look for Jonathan!” Josephine didn’t even turn back.
“Stop right there, you da*n girl!” Margaret was incandescent, flushing bright red when favonovel.com saw that favonovel.com daughter was truly going after Jonathan. “Josephine, don’t come back anymore if you dare go and seek favonovel.com out! I’ll just forget that I ever had you as my daughter!”
