Chapter 60 The Game Is Given Away
Led by a guard, the family of three soon headed toward No. 3 Villa.
When they walked past No. 1 Villa, however, Margaret made to step into that mansion. That scared the guard, and he hastily grabbed her. “What are you doing?”
“My son-in-law lives in No. 1 Villa. Why am I not allowed to enter?” Margaret acted all pompous.
“Who told you that your son-in-law lives in No. 1 Villa? Here’s a piece of advice from me—you’d better behave. Otherwise, you might not live to see tomorrow if you disrupt Mr. Goldstein!” the guard snapped viciously.
The fate of his colleague who offended the man the day before remained vivid in his mind—having both his legs broken and fed to the fishes in the Goda River!
“What kind of attitude is this? I might just ask my son-in-law to dismiss you right away!” Margaret raged while thrusting a finger at him with her hands on her hips.
Alas, it didn’t work on the guard. He merely chuckled coldly at her threat and riposted, “Go ahead. But I’m going to throw you out right now if you dare to continue yakking loudly!”
“What did you just say?” Margaret promptly went ballistic when she saw that even an insignificant guard had no respect for her. But at that exact moment, Josephine quickly tugged at her sleeve and fibbed, “Mom, I got the address wrong! Jonathan doesn’t live in No. 1 Villa but No. 3 Villa!”
“No. 3 Villa? But I remember he told me yesterday that he lives in No. 1 Villa.” Margaret eyed her suspiciously.
“He got it wrong. He phoned me yesterday and said that he’s living in No. 3 Villa!” Josephine dragged her toward No. 3 Villa without giving her a chance to protest.
The game will be given away if the owner of No. 1 Villa comes out!
“Hah! He’s indeed a useless piece of trash that he even got the address of his residence wrong!” Margaret snorted as she continued walking forward with the guard.
Shortly after, they arrived at No. 3 Villa.
The door of No. 3 Villa wasn’t locked, and they were greeted by opulent decor as soon as they pushed open the door.
Just like the lavish mansions in movies, great French windows were visible right after stepping in the door. And beyond the windows was a huge swimming pool.
“Jonathan? Where are you, Jonathan? Come out and greet me, quick!” Margaret bellowed with arms akimbo.
I still remember vividly how this guard treated me! When I see Jonathan later, I’ll have him sack the guard!
But no matter how much she shouted, there was no response from within the mansion.
Seeing that, the guard scoffed inwardly.
She’s just renting the place, yet she’s acting as though this is her house! How could there possibly be anyone here when this mansion was just rented out this morning?
“All right, stop shouting! There’s no one in here!” the guard sneered.
Well, this is quite a show she’s putting on, what with Jonathan Goldstein and her fantasied son-in-law! Does she really not know how things work when she rented the place?
“Mom, perhaps Jonathan is out,” Josephine fibbed. “I’ll bring you around for a tour.”
