The Legendary Man novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Confrontation

Ugh! Who the hell is trying to get in my way when I’m merely a step away from kissing my wife after being away from her for four years?

“Serve you right!” Josephine seize the opportunity to break free from him while throwing him a nasty look.

She excused herself and asked after answering the call, “Hello?”

A man greeted Josephine in return, “It’s me, Ezra!”

“Uncle Ezra?”

Josephine was slightly taken aback by the call because Ezra wouldn’t even engage himself in a conversation with her during festive seasons, let alone a normal day.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but is it true someone has burned down the buildings of the ecological park?” Ezra confronted Josephine.

“Uncle Ezra, how did you know about the accident?” Josephine couldn’t help but wonder the reason her uncle was aware of the accident that occurred half an hour ago.

“Is that any of your concern as the chairman of Smith Group? Are you sure you’re cut to lead the company when you can’t even complete such a trivial project? Dad wants to meet you in person! Come home at once!”

“Huh? Why does Grandpa want to meet me in person?”

“Just return home as instructed instead of asking questions! He’ll tell you everything once you’re here!”

Her uncle hung up the phone and stopped her from carrying on with the conversation as soon as he made himself clear that her presence was required.

On the other hand, Jonathan could keep his questions to himself when he caught a glimpse of Josephine’s frowning look. He asked, “Is everything fine?”

“It seems like the members of the Smith family have been informed of the arson. They wish to meet me in person because of the accident,” Josephine answered with her brows furrowed.

Irked, Jonathan questioned, “What? Are they trying to hold you accountable?”

There’s no way such an inferior family will be appointed to take charge of such an important project if it’s not because of their relationship with Josephine!

“No matter what, I have to go and meet them!” Although Ezra didn’t mention the reason they summoned her out of the blue, she returned home with a sense of foreboding.

Half an hour later, Jonathan pulled over the car at the entrance of the Smith mansion.

When they stepped into the foyer, they saw an irked Hugo seated in the middle of the equally frustrated Miguel and Ezra in the middle of the living room. The trio had their eyes glued to Jonathan and Josephine just like they were up to no good.

“Grandpa, have you summoned me?” Josephine greeted Hugo and tried her best to carry herself in a courteous manner.

Instead of beating around the bush, her grandfather confronted her and questioned, “Is it true someone has set fire on the buildings at the ecological park?”

Josephine responded with a nod, indicating an accident had occurred a short while ago.
