The Legendary Man Chapter 731-Jonathan returned to the mountain resort in Edenic Heights with people surrounding him in protection.
When they reached the mansion, Jonathan saw Emmeline and the others waiting for him at the entrance.
Standing beside Emmeline were Josephine and the former’s parents, Connor and Margaret.
Seeing Margaret, who needed other people’s support to stand, Jonathan felt his heart skip a beat.
Before the car could even come to a complete stop, Margaret had struggled out of Emmeline’s hold and rushed over.
“Jonathan, give me back my daughter!”
As Margaret was Jonathan’s mother-in-law, the bodyguards did not dare to stop her.
Slap!
Following a crisp sound, everyone looked away in avoidance.
“Jonathan, I thought you’re Asura, the almighty figure who can solve all problems? Why don’t you bring my daughter and grandchild back to me? What does the Osborn family want? Why don’t you just give it to them?” Margaret cried out while grasping Jonathan’s collar.
Emmeline and Connor could only hold Margaret up from the side and did not dare to pull her back.
Since the time Jonathan married Josephine after being abandoned by the Goldstein family and coming to Jadeborough, Margaret often made things difficult for him.
In fact, Jonathan had left to join the army three years ago because he couldn’t stand the Smith family treating him like an outcast.
Although Jonathan had never retaliated physically against Margaret even when she looked down on him and constantly picked on him, he would sometimes intimidate her by unleashing his powerful aura.
Yet now, Jonathan stood still and took in Margaret’s slap.
Margaret may be snobby and utterly rude toward Jonathan, but this time, she was acting out of genuine concern for Josephine and the baby in the latter’s womb.
It was also true that Jonathan failed to protect the two of them, allowing the Osborne family to have things their way.
Had Jonathan sent Josephine and the others to the headquarters of Asura’s Office, the respectable families wouldn’t have been able to capture them except for the core members of Asura’s Office.
Jonathan had overestimated himself, causing the situation to come to this point.
Looking at Margaret, who continued to hit his arms and chest, Jonathan lowered his head and fell to his knees.
Upon seeing his action, Emmeline and Connor turned their faces to the side.
Since the day Jonathan married Josephine, it was the first time he had ever done this in front of Margaret.
“I’m sorry, Mom. This is my fault,” Jonathan choked out.
“I’m sorry, Mom. This is my fault,” Jonathan choked out.
For a few seconds, Margaret froze. She then reached out and struck Jonathan’s head weakly.
“What is the use of apologizing? I want my daughter back… I want her to come back!” she wailed.
The next moment, she staggered backward and collapsed.
“Mom!”
Jonathan waved his hand, and immediately, a soft cloud of spiritual energy wrapped around Margaret and set her down on the floor slowly.
“Jason!” yelled Jonathan toward the back.
Jason’s figure appeared in a flash. He crouched down and felt Margaret’s pulse before reporting, “Mr. Goldstein, there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Smith’s health. She’s just too stressed. This is the third time she has fainted this week.”
After Jason’s words fell, a few doctors in white coats ran over and swiftly moved Margaret onto a stretcher. As they brought her away, Connor looked at Jonathan with tearful eyes.
“Dad, I…”
In the entire Smith family, Connor was the only one who took care of Jonathan and comforted him in private.
