The Legendary Man novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Exposed On The Spot

Mr. Swindell is here?

In an instant, Hugo’s expression changed.

He hastily sprang to his feet and strode toward the door with the cane in his hand. “Quick! Hurry up and come with me to welcome Mr. Swindell!”

“Understood!”

Hearing that, the Smith brothers abandoned their squabble with Jonathan. They hastened toward the door after Hugo.

Outside the door, Randall appeared suave and dashing in a black suit.

Despite being the mayor of Jadeborough, he didn’t come with an entourage. Instead, he came alone and even brought a gift at that!

“You’re here, Mr. Swindell. Do come in.”

At the sight of him, Hugo hurriedly acted all subservient.

He wasn’t the only one, for Ezra and Miguel behind him likewise feigned servility.

Truthfully, they knew all too well the status of the Smith family in Jadeborough.

“You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. It’s the Smith family’s annual party today, and I’m the guest here. There’s no such thing as a guest proceeding the host.” Smiling, Randall allowed Hugo to walk ahead of him. He also took out the gift he brought. “This is the gift I prepared. I hope it’s to your liking, Old Mr. Smith.”

“Of course! How could I possibly not like a personal gift from you, Mr. Swindell?” Hugo was very much flattered at the man’s courteousness.

After all, the man had never attended such an occasion ever since he took office.

This event by the Smith family was the very first in history.

Furthermore, he was even being so courteous. That had Hugo instantly feeling so proud that he was bursting at the seams.

“Please have a seat, Mr. Swindell!” Hugo had personally arranged a seat for Randall, and it was right-center in the front row.

Since he graced us with his presence, he’s the most esteemed guest of the Smith family! Therefore, he naturally has to be seated right in the middle!

“I’m flattered, Old Mr. Smith.” Randall quickly brushed it off, but his eyes were scanning the place, seemingly in search of something.

“What are you looking for, Mr. Swindell?” Miguel perceptively noticed that the man seemed to be scouting for something.

“Where is Mr. Goldstein? Why don’t I see him?” Randall couldn’t help querying.

The only reason I’m here at the Smith family’s annual party is because of him. Otherwise, why would I even bother with this insignificant event?

“Mr. Goldstein? Who do you mean?” Miguel was stunned for a moment, not realizing the person he meant. There doesn’t seem to be anyone with such a last name among the guests we invited today.

“Jonathan Goldstein, Mr. Goldstein!” Randall answered.

I remember that he’s Josephine Smith’s husband. Hence, he’ll naturally attend the Smith family’s annual party. With him here, I don’t have the right to sit in this seat reserved for the most esteemed guest!

“Jonathan Goldstein?” Hugo and his sons immediately frowned when they heard that name. “You’re acquainted with him, Mr. Swindell?”

“Of course!” Randall prompt nodded and asserted, “How could I possibly forget him after having witnessed his might at the Blackwood residence? So, where is he?”

“I’m here.”
