Chapter 51 In Her Face
“What? Do you mean you bought this car?” The young lady burst out laughing like he had just said a funny joke. “Did I mishear it? Can you afford to buy such a luxurious car? Why don’t you say you own that helicopter, too?”
She refused to believe him, for this sports car cost eighteen million, eight hundred and eighty thousand.
There was no way he could afford it! She assumed he couldn’t even afford to buy the car insurance.
“If Josephine wishes, I can buy a helicopter,” Jonathan replied with a snort. “I can even buy a cruise ship!”
“Darling, did you hear what he said? He wants to buy a cruise ship for Josephine!” the lady exclaimed. She had laughed so much that her belly started aching. She couldn’t help but stare at Jonathan as though he were a fool. Even her boyfriend couldn’t stop himself from snickering. “I don’t think he has ever seen a cruise ship in his life,” he remarked, his tone acerbic.
They took turns to roast Jonathan in public!
Hearing their deriding comments, Josephine couldn’t stop herself from trembling in fury. “Let’s go, Jonathan,” she muttered in a low voice.
She couldn’t blame them for not believing Jonathan, for she herself couldn’t believe his words.
If Jonathan could afford to buy an eighteen million, eight hundred and eighty thousand sports car, he wouldn’t need to live like a coward in the Smith residence.
“Why are you leaving?” her colleague sneered. “You hadn’t seen the Lamborghini your dirt poor boyfriend bought for you yet!”
She turned to Jonathan and said sarcastically, “You claimed to have bought this sports car, right? Where is the key? Don’t tell me you don’t have it with you.”
“The car key?” Jonathan asked coolly. “I have it.”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he whipped out an LCD smart key from his pocket and pressed on a button. With a click, the car was unlocked.
The Lamborghini’s signature red lights instantly lit up.
At the sight of the lights, the young lady’s scornful expression froze. She lifted a trembling finger to point at Jonathan. “That’s impossible. You’re too poor to afford this luxurious sports car! You must’ve stolen the car key. Yes, you must’ve done that!”
Even though Jonathan had the car key, she refused to believe that he could buy this pricey sports car!
“Ha! Why would I steal the car key to a sports car?” Jonathan scoffed icily. “It might be an unattainable sports car to you, but I only see it as a tool to please Josephine! I can even buy a one hundred million sports car for her if she wants!”
Having said that, he pulled the door open and turned back to look at Josephine. “Darling, what are you doing? Get in!”
“Jonathan, you…” Initially, Josephine wanted to ask where he got the money from to buy this costly car, but she changed her mind after realizing they were in public.
Without a word, she entered the car after Jonathan.
Behind her, her colleague’s jaw tightened at the sight of her entering the sports car.
