Chapter 54 Do You Think You Are Worthy
“Is that important?” Jonathan then countered in a placid voice, “I only know that the owner of No. 1 Villa is now me.”
“And it’s true just because you said so?” Upon hearing that, Margaret immediately scoffed, “Why don’t you say that you’re also the owner of the King of War residence in Jazona?”
“It’s not a problem if I want it,” Jonathan replied blandly.
Would Zachary dare to have any objections if I were to say something to that effect?
“Oh wow, go on and shoot your mouth off!” Margaret sneered, not believing his words in the least. “Who in the whole of Jadeborough doesn’t know that the owner of No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights is the Warhol family in Jazona? Do you know of the Warhol family? Are you aware of their influence in Jazona? Compared to them, the Blackwood family that tops the four most prominent families in Jadeborough is nothing! And you think you’re worthy of living in No. 1 Villa? You’re dreaming!”
Once again, she wore an expression of utter contempt.
What’s the status of the Warhol family? They’re one of the four prominent families in Jazona. In fact, they’re the most elite family in the whole of Jazona! Rumor has it they spent hundreds of millions on the renovation of No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights alone. Could he fork out a couple hundred of million? And even if he could, would they be willing to sell it? No. 1 Villa isn’t a place someone could live in just because he has money!
“Whatever!” Jonathan decided not to waste any more time convincing her otherwise.
I bought the place for Josephine in the first place, so I don’t mind moving in right now as long as she’s willing to leave with me.
“Why? Are you feeling guilty now?” In Margaret’s opinion, the fact that he didn’t continue refuting her was a sign of his guilt. “Don’t go around bragging all day if you don’t have that capability! Watch out, for you might just shoot yourself into the foot one day! Hurry up and cook instead of spouting nonsense!”
She waved a hand impatiently, dismissing Jonathan as though she was chasing a fly away.
He doesn’t have the slightest capability but goes around talking big all day long!
Ignoring her, Jonathan turned to Josephine and queried, “Josephine, are you willing to move into No. 1 Villa with me? If you’re willing to do so, we can move in right away! I’ve already had it all cleaned up.”
“Hah! Go on and keep up your act! Don’t entertain him, Josephine!” Rolling her eyes, Margaret dragged Josephine away without bothering to say a single word further to the man.
“That’s enough! Stop bickering!” Josephine shook off her hand and maintained with a cold expression on her face, “Mom, stop badgering him since he doesn’t want to cook. Why must you make things difficult for him?”
“I’m making things difficult for him?” Margaret promptly blew a gasket at her accusation. “He stays at home all day doing nothing, and he doesn’t even have a proper job! How am I making things difficult for him when I’m just asking him to cook?”
“Who said he doesn’t have a proper job? He has already found a job and will be going to work in a few days!” Josephine riposted huffily.
“Are you serious?” Harrumphing, Margaret mocked, “What kind of job can he get? Is he going into multi-level marketing or being a waiter at a restaurant?”
“He’ll be working at a real estate company!” Josephine rebutted.
“He can get into a real estate company? I think he’ll be dismissed in less than three days!” Throwing Jonathan a disdainful look, Margaret snarled, “Jonathan, I’m asking you this for the last time—are you going to cook?”
“No!” Jonathan rebuffed without delay.
