The Legendary Man novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 The General Manager

Ahem!

Miguel stood there with embarrassment etched on his face, torn between staying and leaving.

He felt that he had come at a highly inopportune time.

“Is something the matter?” Jonathan’s expression went as black as thunder upon seeing Miguel, who had interrupted him out of the blue.

It had been four years since he and Josephine were married to each other, yet they had never even kissed.

Having gotten an opportunity to be intimate with her finally, he could not possibly show Miguel any courtesy for spoiling the mood.

“Mr. Goldstein, Dad would like to see you…” Miguel hung his head, not daring to look him in the eye.

Recalling his attitude toward the man in the past, he even found his palms a touch sweaty.

What if he’s a vindictive person? How am I going to survive in Jadeborough in the future then?

“I’m not free!” Jonathan declined right away.

If Hugo weren’t Josephine’s grandfather, I wouldn’t even bother saying anything to him! The Smith family and Hugo Smith are just ants!

“Mr. Goldstein…” When Jonathan turned him down without the slightest hesitation, Miguel instantly panicked.

Having no other recourse, he could only throw Josephine a pleading glance in hopes that she would lend him a hand.

Oh, well…

Josephine sighed when she saw the man’s beseeching look. She then turned to Jonathan and coaxed, “Maybe you should go and see Grandpa in case he has something urgent to say to you.”

“All right, then.”

Jonathan naturally would not refuse her since he owed her too much in the past three years.

Hearing his acquiescence, Miguel breathed a sigh of relief.

He was most afraid that the man would repudiate him and hold a grudge against the Smith family. Considering the influence he presently wielded, the Smith family would never be able to make a comeback anymore if that were to happen.

Shortly after, they arrived at the living room in the Smith mansion.

Hugo sat in the middle of the room with a glass of ginger tea in his hand.

Compared to his intoxicated state earlier, he seemed much soberer right then.

Beside him stood every single member of the Smith family with apprehension written all over their faces. When Jonathan came in, they lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.

“Mr. Goldstein!”

The moment Hugo glimpsed Jonathan’s approach, he hastily stood up to greet him.

“Why do you want to see me?” Jonathan went straight to the point, not in the mood to yak with them.

“Please have a seat, Mr. Goldstein!” Hugo waved a hand, signaling Seraphina to serve the man some tea.

After taking a seat, Jonathan sipped at his cup of tea before shifting his gaze to Hugo, demanding, “Whatever it is, just cut to the chase. I don’t like people beating around the bush with me.”
