The Legendary Man novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91 I Spent Three Hundred Million

“Come on in,” Jonathan commanded casually.

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!” Under his orders, the men stepped into the villa.

Their appearance caught the attention of Margaret and Emmeline.

“Mr. Goldstein, please check the contents,” said the man in black as he offered a sandalwood box in his palms. However, Jonathan accepted it and gave him a cocky wave. “There’s no need to check the contents. You may leave now!”

“Yes!”

Without hesitation, the men filed out of the villa obediently.

After they left, Margaret pursed her lips in annoyance. “What is this? What’s the mystery all about? I can’t believe they made a grand entrance just to deliver this box. What is inside?”

“A gift I prepared for Josephine’s annual party,” said Jonathan as he placed the sandalwood box on the table.

“Let me see what it is!”

Margaret opened the box without hesitation to reveal a carved figure in translucent lavender jade. Without a mottle in sight, it was clear that this was a valuable ornament.

“Oh, what a nice figurine. How much did you buy it for?” Margaret grabbed the lavender jade figurine and fondled it casually as though it was a cheap ornament.

“A hundred grand,” came Jonathan’s offhand answer.

“This ugly-looking figurine cost a hundred grand?” Margaret pursed her lips in disbelief. “I think it costs at most ten grand! Jonathan, did you get scammed?”

“If it costs ten thousand, I’ll buy everything from that shop!” Jonathan didn’t want to explain too much.

If she finds out that the lavender jade figurine costs three hundred million, she’ll definitely tremble in fear!

Margaret scoffed, “Is this the only thing you bought for our company’s annual party tomorrow? You can afford to buy a villa but not an expensive gift? We’re going to get humiliated again!”

With that, she let out a derisive snort and tossed the lavender jade figurine back into the sandalwood box forcefully, nearly toppling the box over.

Luckily, the lavender jade figurine was of good quality. Otherwise, Margaret would’ve caused a scratch on the figurine with her action.

“This figurine must be worth more than one hundred thousand!” Emmeline, who had been keeping mum, finally blurted out.

She knew Jonathan wouldn’t buy a cheap jadeite worth only one hundred thousand.

“How much do you think it costs, then?” Margaret sneered.

“I have no idea,” Emmeline mumbled, biting her bottom lip.

“Young girls like you often get scammed!” Margaret uttered coldly as she rose to her feet to go upstairs. “We’re definitely going to get humiliated tomorrow!”

After Margaret took her leave, Emmeline jolted up and scurried after her.

She dared not remain in the living room with Jonathan and acted as though he was a horrifying beast who would gobble her up any minute.

After they went upstairs, Jonathan lit up a cigarette. He had barely taken a few puffs when footsteps sounded outside the villa. Shortly after, Andrew appeared in sight.

“Commander,” he greeted Jonathan in his freshly pressed military uniform.

After that, he stood there unmoving, like a statue.

“Come on in,” Jonathan said.
