Chapter 53 A New Mansion
Return it?
Surprise inundated Jonathan. “Why do you want to return it? Don’t you like this car?”
“I love this car, but it’s too expensive!” Josephine looked at him solemnly and remarked, “Don’t you think it’s a waste to spend about twenty million on a car? You should use the money to do some business or make an investment instead of buying a car.”
Even if this twenty million is a loan from Zachary, it still has to be repaid in the future, no? Besides, the man is the King of War, the most powerful person who rules the whole of Jazona! If Jonathan can’t pay him back when he owes him money, the consequences would be undoubtedly terrible!
“It’s not a waste as long as you like it.” Smiling, Jonathan reassured, “Truly, I’m not short on cash.”
“Drop the act, Jonathan!” Upon seeing that he was boasting again so soon, Josephine frowned slightly. “I don’t want this car!”
“I’m not acting.” Exasperation showed on Jonathan’s face when she clearly didn’t believe him. “Furthermore, this car can’t be returned once it’s been paid. If I insist on returning it, I’ll even have to compensate them for liquidated damages, and that amounts to a couple million.”
Having no other choice, he could only use such an excuse to dispel her notion of returning the car.
“What? The liquidated damages cost that much?” Josephine was visibly taken aback. “What should we do, then?”
“The best solution is to just keep the car!” Chuckling, Jonathan continued, “What’s more, there’s no such thing as returning a gift from me! Trust me, Darling. I’m no longer the person I was three years ago. I’ll slowly repay the money I owe Zachary.”
“How are you going to repay twenty over million?” Josephine was still a tad infuriated right then.
He actually used twenty over million to buy a car! Isn’t it much better to buy ten houses and wait for them to appreciate?
“Zachary has already recommended me a job, and I’ll start working in a few days. At that time, I’ll reimburse him gradually with my pay,” Jonathan fibbed. “Besides, he doesn’t care about the twenty million since he isn’t lacking funds. He won’t force me to return the money to him!”
Force me to return the money to him? How could he possibly dare to do so?
“What kind of job did he recommend you?” Sure enough, when Josephine heard that Zachary introduced a job to him, her expression eased significantly.
I don’t really have much to ask of him. I’ll be contented as long as he has his feet planted firmly on the ground and holds a proper job without straying from the path!
“I think it was some real estate company. He hasn’t told me what position I’d be holding exactly, but the pay is very high. I’ll be going over to the company for a visit sometime later,” Jonathan prevaricated.
“Indeed, real estate companies are generous in paying their employees!” Josephine nodded in agreement.
The prices of real estate have been ballooning time and again in recent years. Hence, those working for real estate companies have made a fortune! If he were to work for a real estate company, he would make quite a lot of money!
“Don’t be extravagant when you start working there. Instead, you must save the money you make. Later, I’ll make some inquiries and see whether anyone wants to buy this car. Even if the price is slightly lower, it’s better than wasting the money!” Josephine was still contemplating how to sell off the car and return the money to Zachary.
Since this sports car is bought with money that’s on loan, I’ll feel rather uneasy using it.
“All right. Then, just drive it first in the meantime.” Jonathan didn’t bother wasting his breath to dissuade her further but racked his brains about finding a real estate company.
Hmm… Should I just buy one?
