The Legendary Man novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157 Trouble

“Mom, the watches weren’t bought by me!” Josephine was infuriated by Margaret. Jonathan alone is trouble enough, and now, Margaret is just making things worse.

“Who bought them? Jonathan?” Margaret glanced at Jonathan who was sitting on the sofa. “So what if he did? Can you not give them to me just because of that?”

“Mom, do you know how much the watches cost?” Josephine almost stomped her feet in anger when she saw how the greedy Margaret desperately held onto the watch.

“How much?” Margaret asked curiously.

“Thirty-six million!” Glaring fiercely at her, Josephine added, “The watch you are wearing alone costs eighteen million.”

“What?”

Margaret’s felt her knees buckle the moment she heard the price.

Eighteen million for a lousy watch? Together, both of them cost thirty-six million? What an idiot for spending thirty-six million just on two watches. Wait, something’s not right. Since when did Jonathan have so much money?

When it suddenly hit her, Margaret stared at Jonathan and questioned, “Jonathan, where did you find so much money?”

“I borrowed it,” Jonathan calmly replied.

“Who did you borrow it from?” Margaret gave Jonathan a doubtful look. Given how he usually behaves, how did he manage to get it? I don’t think he is even capable of borrowing three thousand six hundred.

“Zachary,” Jonathan answered. “When I left the King of War residence, Zachary gave me a credit card with no spending limit. I used the same card to buy the car too.”

Jonathan parroted the same excuse from yesterday.

“No spending limit?” Margaret’s eyes lit up when she heard it. She didn’t care how much Jonathan borrowed. All she was concerned about was whether the card truly had no spending limit.

“Jonathan, does your card really have no spending limit?” Margaret stared intently at Jonathan as if she was about to swallow him.

“That’s right!”

Nodding, Jonathan added, “However, I have to pay it back.”

“Pay it back?” Margaret’s enthusiasm dampened significantly because she assumed he didn’t need to return the money.

What’s the point of a credit card that one needs to pay back still?

“What were you thinking? There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world!” Josephine rolled her eyes. “Take off that watch so that Jonathan can return both the watches.”

“Must he return them?”

Margaret was reluctant to part with it. After all, it was a watch that cost eighteen million. She had never even touched one before, let alone put on one.

“Quick!” Josephine pestered.

“Jonathan, you already had it for one night. Will they allow you to return it?” Looking at Jonathan, Margaret refused to take it off.

“Not necessarily.”

Shaking his head, Jonathan answered, “I’m not certain if they will allow me to do that.”

“In that case, let me wear the watch for the time being while you inquire about it.” The moment she heard that Jonathan was unsure about returning it, Margaret’s desire to keep the watch intensified.

To her, she was satisfied even if she could only put on such an expensive watch for a minute.

If her poker mates found out about it, they would be utterly envious of her.
