The Legendary Man novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 The Birthday Gift

Bang!

Jonathan kicked the door open and stormed into the private room.

The moment Josephine caught sight of him, her expression changed drastically.

Jonathan? He… He’s still alive…

After having not seen him for three years, even she had gradually started believing the rumor of his death.

“You don’t agree?” Alvin threw Jonathan a frigid look with a trace of contempt in his eyes. “Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to disagree when it comes to my marriage with Josephine?”

“I’m her husband. Say, do I have the right to disagree?” Jonathan sneered, not even deigning to spare him a single glance.

Instead, he strolled toward Josephine.

“It’s been a long time, Josephine!”

At long last, the others identified the man before them as Jonathan, who had gone missing three years ago.

Jonathan Goldstein? Isn’t he dead?

“W-Why are you here?” Josephine reflexively took a step back to maintain a distance from Jonathan.

The estrangement in her eyes shone brightly.

“It’s your birthday today, so of course I have to come!” Jonathan flashed her a faint smile.

The reason he had made the decision a year ago to leave Northern Crimson Prison that particular day was none other than Josephine’s birthday.

He had waited three long years for this very day.

“So, you’re Josephine’s ex-husband?” Alvin finally took note of Jonathan right then and scrutinized him. Unfortunately, a flash of disdain flickered in his eyes when he noticed that the man’s attire was cheap stuff that didn’t even cost a hundred in total.

Alvin then scoffed, “You’re the good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law who merely lives off a woman and has been sponging off the Smith family for a whole year? Didn’t you die three years ago?”

A good-for-nothing?

Right then and there, a hint of scorn crept into the eyes of the crowd as they regarded Jonathan.

Indeed, he lives up to his reputation as a good-for-nothing! Even after three years, he still seems to be a loser, his entire outfit not even amounting to a hundred! Compared to Alvin, the only son of the Chairman of Langford Group, he’s nothing but a clump of mud! No, equating him to a clump of mud is rather insulting to mud! He’s just a piece of sh*t!

“I might still be alive and kicking even after you’re dead.” Jonathan cast him a wintry look before shifting his gaze to Josephine and saying, “Come, let’s go home, Josephine!”

“No, I’m not leaving!” Josephine declined without any hesitation.

The second Alvin heard her turning Jonathan down, he instantly guffawed. “Did you hear that? Josephine doesn’t want to leave with you, dud! It’s best that you disappear from my sight before my temper spikes! Otherwise…”

Stretching out his hand, he flicked his fingers. At once, several bodyguards in black suits stepped forward and surrounded Jonathan.

From the look of things, they would instantly beat Jonathan up with an order from Alvin.

“What would you do otherwise?”

Jonathan’s gaze went cold.

“Throw him out of here!” Alvin wasn’t in the mood to yak with him.

With a wave of his hand, several bodyguards promptly stalked forward. One of them swung a fist at Jonathan’s face.

“You asked for it!”

As Jonathan’s expression went chilly, his palm shot out.

A crisp slap split the air, and his palm landed on the bodyguard’s face.

Thud!

Subsequently, a booming sound rang out.
