The Legendary Man novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Fraud

“Josephine?”

When he sensed Josephine’s presence, Jonathan, who had his back to them, turned around at once. “What brings you here?”

It really is Jonathan!

When she saw his silhouette earlier, she felt that it resembled Jonathan’s. But, the moment Josephine saw him, she couldn’t resist asking, “Jonathan, what are you doing here?”

“I live here!” Jonathan replied casually. “Didn’t I tell you last night that I live at No. 1 Villa? Also, I’ll be here whenever you want to see me.”

“B*llshit!!” Before Josephine could say a word, Margaret blew her lid. “How can a cowardly piece of trash like you live here? Jonathan, I have really underestimated you. I can’t believe that you actually tricked Josephine into renting a mansion to keep up this charade of yours!”

“Charade? What charade?” Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows.

“Stop pretending!” Putting one hand on her hip, Margaret pointed at Jonathan with the other. She scowled, “Jonathan, I didn’t realize you are so good at acting! Why don’t you become a professional actor instead? Who knows, you might even win an award for the best male lead!”

Margaret unleashed a tirade.

It isn’t a big deal if he can’t afford to stay in Edenic Heights. Instead, he tricked Josephine into renting a mansion here so that he could feed his ego? He really is a scumbag!

“Josephine, what’s wrong?” Ignoring Margaret, Jonathan looked in Josephine’s direction.

“Mom, why can’t we talk about this when we’re home?” Josephine couldn’t tolerate her mom berating Jonathan at Edenic Heights. Hence, she grabbed her sleeve and dragged her out.

However, the infuriated Margaret didn’t care at all.

Shaking her hand forcefully, she struggled free from Josephine’s grip. “What else is there to talk about with this scumbag? Jonathan, I’m warning you that you had better return all the money Josephine spent on renting the mansion. Or else, I’ll skin you alive!”

“Josephine, you rented a mansion in Edenic Heights?” Jonathan looked at Josephine quizzically.

Why did she do that?

“Mm-hmm!”

Josephine nodded. “After you left yesterday, I couldn’t find you. Overwhelmed with frustration, I told my mom that you are staying at No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights! In the end, she insisted on coming to see if it was true. Left without a choice, I rented a mansion to trick her. However, this has nothing to do with you. I was the one who rented it, and the money spent was my own.”

“You foolish girl! Why are you still standing up for him under such circumstances?” Margaret was outraged when she saw her daughter wash Jonathan’s hands off the matter.

A week’s rental here must have cost at least a few hundred thousand! And yet, Josephine is claiming it isn’t his fault?

“I’m not protecting him. This matter has nothing to do with him, really!” Josephine bit her lip and added, “If I can get the money back, I will do it myself. If not, just treat it as my own spending. Jonathan had no hand in this!”

“You stupid gal! You’re going to give me a heart attack at this rate.” Margaret’s chest couldn’t stop heaving in anger. Just when she pointed at Josephine to say something, she was simply lost for words.
