The Legendary Man novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Cannot Afford To Trifle With

Alvin stared intently at Jonathan, his eyes flashing with deep hatred.

This can’t be possible! No way! Jonathan’s nothing but a loser!

When Alvin first set his eyes on Josephine, he had sent someone to investigate her ex-husband and realized the latter was merely a live-in son-in-law who married into the Smith family because he was hunted down. If Josephine had not saved his life, Jonathan would have been killed by his enemy ages ago.

There’s no way this loser is a commander! Even if all the men in this world are dead, Jonathan would still be too useless to be one.

“Who the hell are you, Jonathan Goldstein?” Alvin demanded, his jaw tightly clenched.

As the only son of the chairman of Langford Group, it was humiliating for him to be forced to a corner by a useless live-in son-in-law. What will others think of me if this gets out?

“I’m someone you can’t afford to trifle with!” Jonathan scoffed. “Remember, if I ever find you pester Josephine again, Langford Group shall cease to exist!”

It was an explicit threat.

Infuriated by his blatant intimidation, Alvin glared at him viciously. If looks could kill, Jonathan would have been ripped into pieces by then.

Alas, his glare did not even faze Jonathan, who turned to Josephine and said, “Josephine, I don’t know what trouble your family has gotten into, but no matter what it is, I can deal with it. You don’t have to marry someone you have no feelings for just because of a trivial matter!”

A trivial matter?

Upon hearing his words, those around him raised their brows skeptically.

It was common knowledge that the Smith family had offended the most influential family in Jadeborough—the Blackwood family. In fact, when the Blackwood family sneezed, Jadeborough would catch a cold.

The Smith family was in a hurry to marry Josephine off to Alvin so that they could join forces with Langford Group and thus defend themselves against the Blackwood family.

“That’s enough, Jonathan!” Josephine hollered. “I don’t care what big shot you’ve met out there or how you’ve ratted on someone to gain their favor, but don’t forget that they can’t protect you forever!”

She took a deep breath before adding, “Once they get rid of you, you’ll be nothing! Don’t you know yourself well? You can’t solve my family’s problem, so scram! I don’t want to see you ever again!”

It seemed like she used all her energy to howl that last sentence out loud.

After all, she knew what Jonathan was like—lazy and idle!

He was good at doing the house chores, but that was about it.

Thus, she refused to believe that Jonathan had become a big shot after going missing for three years.

There was no way he could have gained power when the Jonathan she knew was an indolent man who never had a proper job and a coward who never retaliated no matter how badly they treated him.

The only plausible explanation was that he had won the favor of a big shot or sacrificed something to gain their backing.

Even so, to Josephine, it was not a reliable solution. Once the bigwigs had no use of him and cast him aside, the people he once offended would get back at him. Without a sanctuary, Jonathan would be easy prey.
