Chapter 180 I Really Am Asura
“I refuse!” Josephine replied without hesitation.
Given that she did no wrong, there was no reason for her to apologize to the Turner family.
“I’m afraid it’s not up to you!” When he realized how adamant Josephine was in her refusal to apologize, Hugo’s gaze darkened. “Men, seize her!”
“At once!”
Upon Hugo’s instruction, a group of black-clad men rushed into the Smith mansion. However, Jonathan, who had remained silent throughout, suddenly sprang to his feet and glared at the men. “Let’s see who dares to lay a finger on her!”
“Jonathan, what are you doing?”
Ezra snorted when he saw Jonathan step forward. “This is a Smith family matter where you have no right to interfere!”
“Exactly! A live-in son-in-law like you has no say in this at all,” Ezra’s wife sneered.
“Jonathan, this is a family matter, so please step aside.” Even though Hugo was more civil, his intention couldn’t be any clearer.
Evidently, Jonathan had no right to stick his nose into the Smith family’s business.
“Your family matter?” Jonathan scoffed in response. “Back when you pleaded for me to hand the ecological park project to the Smith family, that wasn’t what you said.”
Back then, the entire Smith family almost got on their knees to beg Jonathan for the project.
But now, just because they offended the Turner family, they intend to make Josephine the scapegoat?
“That was then, and this is now!” Hugo’s expression turned grave. “Back then, I didn’t realize she would commit such a massive mistake!”
If he had known that taking over the ecological park project would infuriate the Turner family, he wouldn’t have begged Jonathan for it. In fact, he wouldn’t even have accepted it even if Jonathan had wanted to give it to them.
Compared to the wrath of the Turner family, the ecological park project was considered inconsequential.
“The Smith family is truly shameless!” When he heard Hugo’s words, Jonathan couldn’t help but sneer, “Back when you desired the ecological park project, you felt that Josephine was most suited to be Smith Group’s chairman. Now that you have gotten on the nerves of the Turner family, you turn her into a scapegoat instead?”
“Shut up, Jonathan! As an outsider, you have no right to criticize us.” Just as Jonathan spoke, Ezra couldn’t resist the urge to admonish him.
“Do you think that I want to butt into your business needlessly?” Jonathan smirked. If not for Josephine, he wouldn’t care less about the Smith family’s mess.
“Jonathan, what is it that you want?” Hugo gave Jonathan a cold stare.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Jonathan snapped. “There’s no way Josephine is going to apologize to the Turner family. Instead, if they apologize to her, I might consider forgiving them.”
What? What did he just say? Get the Turner family to apologize to Josephine? Is he dreaming?
“Jonathan, are you out of your mind? Get the Turner family to apologize to her? Who do you think she is?”
“Jonathan, don’t assume you can look down upon everyone else just because you know Zachary. Let me give it to you straight. Compared to the Turner family, you are a nobody!”
“Do you know how many members of the Turner family hold high positions in the King of War Division?”
“Do you even know their moniker? The Turner family is known as the vice governor’s office. And yet, you insist on wanting them to apologize to Josephine? Why don’t you get the sun to rise in the west instead?”
Evidently, Jonathan looked like a nutcase to them when he made his assertions.
Getting the Turner family to apologize was no different from asking the impossible.
