Chapter 169 The Turner Family
What the hell! Who’s trying to reach me at all times?
Jonathan reached for his phone with his face scrunched up in irritation. When he was about to pick up the call, Josephine stopped him.
She announced while glaring at him, “It’s mine!”
After inching away from Jonathan, she asked the moment she picked up the phone, “Hello?”
The man on the other end of the phone greeted with a hoarse voice, “Josephine, I must’ve underestimated you, huh? Randall’s presence is quite a surprise, but it’s not really a big deal because he’s not capable of putting much of a fight as well! Why don’t you go ahead and ask if he has the guts to poke his nose into my business?”
Shortly after the man finished his rhetorical question, he sneered, indicating he wasn’t intimidated by Randall’s presence at all.
“What do you want from me?” Josephine’s face puckered when she heard the man’s sneer of despise. She disliked others threatening her the most. However, the man on the other end wouldn’t stop pushing his luck.
He guffawed and asked in return. “What else apart from the downfall of the Smith family? I thought a warning was more than enough to drive you and the rest of your family away from the development of the ecological park, but I guess it was very wrong of me. Hence, I’m going to do you and the rest of your family a favor by taking everyone out.”
Then, he continued, “Speaking of which, can you do me a favor and tell your beloved husband to try his best to keep me at the bay? I can’t wait to see if he’s affiliated with someone capable of stopping me! Tell him to stop holding back and make use of every trump card he has hidden up his sleeves.”
The man thought it wasn’t much of a challenge for him to take out the members of the Smith family. All it would take was a call from him.
Jonathan was of the same idea because he thought the seemingly influential figure was nothing more than a self-proclaimed influential figure.
He was not amused.
What kind of joke is this? I don’t recall appointing a vice-governor when setting up the hierarchical structure in Jazona! The mayor and the governor were the only ones I appointed!
When Josephine heard the mysterious man on the other hand talking about Jonathan, she asked while gaping in disbelief, “Who the hell are you?”
She felt a chill running down her spine because she wasn’t even aware of the man’s identity. On the contrary, the man was well aware of the details of the ones around her.
“Hasn’t your beloved husband mentioned anything about me? If that’s the case, allow me to introduce myself—I’m Timothy, a member of the Turner family! We’re one of the most, if not the most prominent family of Jazona! Titus is my grandfather!” the mysterious man introduced himself shortly after he finished his rhetorical question.
Colors started draining from Josephine’s face when she heard the man introducing himself through the phone.
Titus? The head of the Turner family of Jazona?
“Y-You’re a member of the Turner family?” Josephine repeated after the man with her voice quivering against her will.
Timothy announced with his head held high, “It seems like you’ve heard of us, huh? If that’s the case, I’m sure you’re well aware of the consequences of offending the members of the family, aren’t you? You can’t blame me for whatever’s awaiting the rest of the Smith family because I’ve warned you to stay out of our way for more than once!”
