The Legendary Man Chapter 843-The family sat together on the couch as Margaret sobbed quietly with Emmeline’s hand behind her back to support her.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was gently stroking Josephine’s face on the screen.
A long time passed before he finally played the video.
Josephine’s voice sounded.
“Can I talk now? Can you hear me, Emmeline? Are Mom and Dad okay? They must be worried sick after I left,” she said. She sounded a little choked up, and her eyes were red.
After a pause, she continued, “I don’t have much time, so I’ll only talk about the important things. I’m at the Osborne family’s ancestral land right now. Even though I was kidnapped here, they haven’t done anything to me. In fact, my basic needs provided here are much better than what I have back in Tayhaven. Besides not having too much freedom, everything I have here is good. Emmeline, I’m updating you on how I’m doing so you, Mom, and Dad can rest assured. I also want you to pass on a message to Jonathan. A few days ago, someone hypnotized Broderick and made a move against our baby and I. Luckily, the Osborne family stopped them. They investigated, and there’s a huge possibility that the Salladay and Gray families were behind this. These people want to provoke Asura’s Office to fight against the Osborne family using my death. The Osborne family allowed me to contact you all because they are worried people would pour fuel into the fire and cause unwanted misunderstandings. That’s all I can say for now. Emmeline, please warn Jonathan and tell him not to be swayed by the rumors. Oh, right. Tell Dad to stop scolding Jonathan because of this, too. I only understood after coming here that even though Jonathan is extremely powerful, he is not invincible. The Osborne family has—”
The tablet’s screen went black, and the video stopped.
It was obvious that the Osborne family had forcefully turned off the camera and stopped the recording.
Seeing that Jonathan wasn’t saying anything, Sophia approached him in her wheelchair and patted his wrist lightly.
“Jonathan, you should be happy that Josephine is safe and sound. It shows that there is still room for discussion with the Osborne family.”
However, it was as if he had not heard her. Jonathan proceeded to play the video again instead.
He rewatched the video once more, but this time, he slowed it down and paid closer attention to it.
“Jonathan?” Emmeline questioned. She wanted to approach him but was stopped in her tracks by Sophia.
“Shh!” the latter hushed as she held up a finger. “He probably noticed something. Don’t disturb him.”
He noticed something?
Hearing what she said, the three who sat opposite them turned toward Jonathan.
At that moment, he dragged a finger along the video progress bar.
“Oh, right. Tell Dad to stop scolding Jonathan because of this, too—”
“Oh, right. Tell Dad to stop scolding—”
“Tell Dad to stop—”
Josephine’s words were repeated continuously.
“Something’s wrong.” Jonathan listened carefully each time he replayed the video. The next moment, he looked up at Connor sitting opposite. “You’re the only one who has never scolded me since I married into the Smith family, Dad. You’re the one who treats me the best in this family. You’d even reassure me in secret at times. There’s no way Josephine would say something like this for no reason. But what is she trying to tell us?” he said with his brows furrowed.
Jonathan got up from the couch and started to pace around.
At the same time, Emmeline and the others finally realized what was going on.
“Yes, that’s right! Josephine should have directed that sentence toward Mom. She shouldn’t have brought up Dad!”
Jonathan kept replaying the video on the tablet. He wanted to get a clear look at each and every one of Josephine’s movements, but the slowest the video could be played on the tablet was at zero point five.
Jonathan walked to the door as he was filled with anxiousness.
“Get Zachary and everyone in the Intelligence Bureau here. Tell them to bring video analytics devices along!”
“Yes!”
Following that, a spy vanished almost instantly from Jonathan’s spiritual sense.
Not long after, Zachary rushed into the house with five others tagging along.
“Mr. Goldstein—”
Before Zachary could finish his sentence, Jonathan approached him with the tablet.
