The Legendary Man Chapter 315
The Richest Person In Yaleview
The person who said those words to Jonathan was his own father, Daniel Goldstein.
Jonathan’s thoughts went back in time to ten years ago as he stared down at the black-and-white photograph in his hand.
“Dad, Mom… you two aren’t even here anymore, so why are you still making cruel jokes like this?” Jonathan’s eyes reddened. He stuffed the photo back into his pocket.
Just as he resumed sweeping the room, light footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Immediately after, an exhausted-looking Sophia entered the room.
“Jonathan…”
“Aunt Sophia, why are you here?” Jonathan was surprised to see Sophia when he saw her come in.
“I was worried about leaving you home alone,” Sophia said as she saw his slightly reddened eyes. She stepped forward and grabbed the broom from Jonathan. “Sit down and rest for a bit. Leave the cleaning to me.”
“No, it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.” Jonathan waved his hand. “I haven’t cleaned their room in over ten years. It’s better if I do it.”
Lowering his head, Jonathan continued sweeping after speaking.
Sophia’s eyes reddened subconsciously when she saw the way Jonathan acted.
If she had not personally witnessed the scene before her, she would not have believed that Asura, who single-handedly razed the four prominent families to the ground, would have such a vulnerable side to him.
“Oh, that’s right! Aunt Sophia, did you give Lydia my phone number?” Jonathan asked as he continued to sweep the room.
“Yeah, I did.” Sophia nodded. “She called me, looking for you. I-I… didn’t know what to do, so I gave her your phone number. I hope she didn’t give you any trouble?”
Sophia was slightly flustered after hearing her nephew’s words. She was worried that her actions might have troubled him.
“How can that be possible?” Jonathan smiled. “Aunt Sophia, you don’t have to be so nervous when speaking with me. It doesn’t matter if I’m Asura or Jonathan Goldstein. I will always be your nephew! This fact can never be changed by anyone. I don’t wish for there to be a sense of estrangement between us because of my identity. Compared to the current situation, I much preferred it when you called me a snob!”
Jonathan had expected Sophia’s attitude to change after she found out about his identity. He had resigned himself to a certain level of estrangement. However, in truth, it was much worse than he imagined.
“Little snob…” Sophia heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the man’s words. She glared at Jonathan. “What? Are you itching for a beating just because I stopped calling you a snob? How dare you lecture me? I don’t care if you’re Asura. I refuse to acknowledge this! I only know the kid who burrowed himself into my blankets after listening to a horror story. I only know the snob who was too afraid to go to the toilet by himself afterward.”
“Aunt Sophia, can we please not talk about the toilet incident?” Jonathan suddenly became anxious after hearing Sophia bring up his childhood stories. He was eager to leave his childish past behind.
“All right, I’ll stop.” Sophia rolled her eyes. “So, what of Lydia’s request?”
“It’s been settled,” said Jonathan. He then added, “I asked Andy to let them go.”
“You let them all go?” Upon hearing his words, Sophia was surprised. “D-Did you do it because of me?”
If he did it because of me, didn’t I just make things more difficult for him?
“What do you think?” Jonathan smiled as he stared at her.
If it had not been for Sophia, none of the four prominent families of Yaleview would have survived, nor would a single one of them would have been able to leave Yaleview.
“S-So I didn’t cause you any trouble, right?” Sophia bit her lip and asked in a soft voice.
