Chapter 213 History
“Yes!” Jonathan nodded before looking at Josephine doubtfully. “You know her?”
“Of course I do!” Josephine answered enthusiastically. “Back when I was little, I used to admire her so much. In fact, my room was full of her posters. Unfortunately, she retired from the entertainment industry right after she got married. I haven’t heard any of her new songs ever since!”
In her heyday, it was almost impossible to get a ticket for Elizabeth’s concerts.
Not only were the tickets limited, but a ticket to her concert would often cost up to eighty thousand each.
As for her fans from foreign countries, they would fly to wherever a concert of hers was being held.
Unfortunately, she stopped touring after she got married. Even worse, she died in a fatal car accident a few years after her retirement.
The news of her death took the whole of Chanaea by shock. Everyone was extremely saddened by her passing.
“Who would’ve thought you were one of her fans!” Jonathan stroked Josephine’s head affectionately. “When she and my dad got into that accident, I was only ten. I remember I was still at school when I received the news. Someone barged into my classroom and told me that my parents were involved in a car accident. At that moment, I was stupefied by what I heard. When I got to the hospital, they had already sent their bodies into the morgue. So I didn’t even get to see them one last time.” As soon as Jonathan was done telling the story, his face turned solemn. Regardless of what he had gone through the past ten years, he would still feel incredibly sad every time he was reminded of them.
“I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have brought this up.” Having noticed Jonathan’s expression, Josephine felt bad.
“It’s fine. It has already been ten years.” Jonathan smiled. However, his smile seemed bitter. “Anyway, what happened next was even more unthinkable. A day after their passings, I was chased out of the Goldstein family and away from Yaleview. They even warned me to never come back to Yaleview and address myself as a member of the Yaleview’s Goldstein family.”
“Why?” Josephine’s stared at him in bewilderment. He was chased away when he was only ten! Worse still, after their passings, that was when he needed emotional support the most! They had even forbidden him from addressing himself as a member of the Goldstein family? I could only imagine what sort of pain and suffering he must’ve gone through!
“No particular reason, I guess. It’s just because my parents passed away.” Jonathan let out a self-mocking laugh and continued, “Before my dad died, he was the next in line to inherit all the Goldstein family’s assets. In fact, he was the only person eligible. But after his passing, all the inheritance went to my uncle, Tommy Goldstein. Uncle Tommy, my dad’s little brother, chased me out of the family because he was worried that I could one day challenge his eligibility for the inheritance. He even got help from the other family members of the Goldstein family to execute his cruel plan.”
“What? How could they do that? How could they be so heartless?” Upon hearing Jonathan’s story, Josephine was trembling with rage. Although it had been ten years, she couldn’t believe how cruel his family had treated him.
How could such a cruel uncle exist in the world? Not only did his parents just die, but he was only a ten-year-old boy! How could they do that to a young boy?
