The Legendary Man novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Putting On A Show

“Fine, I’ll go and take a look at it!” Curling her lips, Margaret yanked Connor up though he was mopping the floor. “Why are you still mopping the floor? Hurry up and get changed!” she ordered.

“Why should I change?” Connor put down the mop in his hand and wiped his sweat, saying, “I’ve just changed my clothes this morning!”

“So, you want to go to Edenic Heights with me dressed in such a manner? I don’t want to be humiliated! Either go and get changed quickly or just stay here and continue mopping the floor!” Margaret snapped, scaring him so badly that he hurried to the room to get changed.

When he came back out shortly after, he had already changed into a set of relatively clean clothes.

Margaret looked him up and down several times. Frowning slightly, she commented, “You’re finally looking somewhat decent. Big shots live in Edenic Heights, so don’t talk too much when we arrive there later. Watch your tongue lest you expose your ignorance!”

“Got it.”

Connor hung his head, not daring to utter a single word in protest.

When they were making their way downstairs, Josephine surreptitiously took out her phone and texted Leonard from the real estate company. Strangely enough, there was no reply from him.

Left with no other choice, she could only bring her parents to Edenic Heights first.

However, when they walked past the gate, Margaret caught sight of the Lamborghini parked by the roadside at a single glance. At once, she exclaimed, “Whose sports car is this? Wow, the owner merely parked it by the roadside, not at all worried that it’ll get scratched!”

Turning to Josephine, she gushed, “This car must be very expensive, no? Well, Josephine?”

“Yes, it is very expensive.” Josephine nodded in affirmation.

It cost eighteen million, eight hundred and eighty thousand, after all. That was definitely a sky-high price!

“I could tell that it must cost a fortune at a single glance! I wonder who in our community is so rich that he could afford to buy such an expensive sports car!” Envy shone brightly in Margaret’s eyes. “Josephine, this car must cost at least two or three million, no?”

“It cost more than ten million. After adding the myriad of other fees, it totals up to over twenty million.” As the owner of the car, Josephine was naturally aware of its price. Nonetheless, she didn’t dare tell her mother about it.

Based on my understanding of her, she would no doubt claim this car for herself if she were to know the truth!

“Over twenty million?” Margaret was so shocked that her jaw dropped. “Oh my God, twenty million is already enough to buy a mansion at Edenic Heights, no? Even in our community, that’s sufficient to buy ten to twenty houses! Who’s the wastrel who used twenty million to buy a car?”

Well, that wastrel is the live-in son-in-law whom you look down upon!

Rolling her eyes, Josephine didn’t respond to that. Instead, she stretched out a hand and hailed a taxi, heading toward Edenic Heights.

Throughout the entire drive, she couldn’t reach Leonard. Regardless of whether she phoned or texted him, he neither picked up nor responded.

At that turn of events, her face instantly blanched.

Don’t tell me something has gone wrong?

“What’s wrong, Josephine?” Margaret couldn’t help asking upon noticing her pale face.

“N-Nothing.”

Josephine forced herself to appear calm.

“Oh yes, have you given Jonathan a call? Why don’t you ask him to come out and meet us since we’re almost there?” Margaret still acted all high and mighty.

It seemed as though she had forgotten all about having kicked Jonathan out the night before.

“He might have left his phone somewhere since I can’t get through to him,” Josephine lied. In actual fact, she didn’t even have Jonathan’s number.

“Hmph! I think he does have his phone, but he’s deliberately putting on a show of power!” Margaret harrumphed, chagrin written all over her face.

Half an hour later, the taxi came to a stop outside the gate of Edenic Heights.
