The Legendary Man novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 A Class Reunion

“Tanya, I…”

Conflict was written all over Josephine’s face.

She indeed detested such chaotic events, but she was no match for Tanya’s wheedling and cajoling. In the end, she could only relent and agree. “Okay, fine. Send me the location. I’ll be there shortly.”

“It’s a yes, then?” Tanya’s delighted shriek could be heard loud and clear through the phone. “I just knew that you’re not a heartless person, Josephine! I’ll send you the location right away!”

After saying that, she hung up in a thrice.

In no time, a ding sounded from Josephine’s phone, signaling the arrival of a message.

The content was very brief: Supreme VIP Room, Empyrean Palace.

Empyrean Palace? Shock inundated Josephine the moment she saw those two words. Despite being in Jadeborough, she had heard of Empyrean Palace.

That’s the most expensive restaurant in Jazona! Rumor has it that many wealthy people and celebrities living thousands of miles away take a flight over just to have a meal at Empyrean Palace! And it’s also said that a single dish costs a few hundred! Who made the reservation at such a costly place?

“What’s wrong?” Jonathan couldn’t resist asking upon noticing the furrow of her brows.

“Nothing.” Josephine shook her head. Subsequently, she turned to him and inquired, “Can you accompany me on a trip to Jazona tonight?”

While we’ve never consummated our marriage, I’m still a married woman, so there’ll inevitably be rumors if I were to attend some class reunion late at night with all sorts of people alone!

“Sure!”

Surprise flooded Jonathan since she had never invited him to join her in the past no matter the occasion, let alone asking him to accompany her to Jazona late at night.

In that past, that would have been a pipe dream.

“Aren’t you going to ask me what we’ll be doing there?” Josephine couldn’t help sweeping a glance over him when he agreed right away without asking any questions.

“What’s the point of doing so?” Grinning, Jonathan declared, “I’m willing to go to hell and back with you!”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Josephine shot daggers at him when she saw that he was getting cheeky again. “Tanya invited me to a class reunion. I couldn’t turn her down, so I’ve got no choice but to ask you to accompany me. But if you’ve got something else to do, I have no problem going alone.”

Despite my words, I might be slightly disappointed if he were to say no to me. But of course, I would never show it blatantly!

“Isn’t the most important thing I’ve got to do is to accompany you to Jazona?” Jonathan replied with a smile.

“What a sweet-talker!”

Josephine rolled her eyes, but she wasn’t as ill-disposed toward him as before.

Half an hour later, the car came to a stop in front of No. 1 Villa.

When Miguel saw Connor and Margaret pushing open the door of No. 1 Villa for real, he could no longer conceal the astonishment in his eyes.

No. 1 Villa! This is the most expensive mansion in the whole of Jadeborough! I heard that the construction alone costs several hundred million! Yet, this useless brother of mine is actually living in No. 1 Villa?

“M-Mr. Goldstein, w-were you the one who bought No. 1 Villa?” He unwittingly swallowed.

“Yeah, I bought it. Is there a problem?” Jonathan asked coldly.

After all, he had never harbored much goodwill toward those from the Smith family.

“O-Of course not!” Miguel hastily shook his head, not daring to have an opinion about it.

But then, I simply don’t understand how the worthless live-in son-in-law who married into the Smith family back then suddenly turned into a legendary big shot after three years!
