The Legendary Man

Chapter 53 A New Mansion
Return it?Surprise inundated Jonathan. “Why do you want to return it? Don’t you like this car?”
“I love this car, but it’s too expensive!” Josephine looked at him solemnly and remarked, “Don’t you think it’s a waste to spend
about twenty million on a car? You should use the money to do some business or make an investment instead of buying a car.”
Even if this twenty million is a loan from Zachary, it still has to be repaid in the future, no? Besides, the man is the King of War,
the most powerful person who rules the whole of Jazona! If Jonathan can’t pay him back when he owes him money, the
consequences would be undoubtedly terrible!
“It’s not a waste as long as you like it.” Smiling, Jonathan reassured, “Truly, I’m not short on cash.”
“Drop the act, Jonathan!” Upon seeing that he was boasting again so soon, Josephine frowned slightly. “I don’t want this car!”
“I’m not acting.” Exasperation showed on Jonathan’s face when she clearly didn’t believe him. “Furthermore, this car can’t be
returned once it’s been paid. If I insist on returning it, I’ll even have to compensate them for liquidated damages, and that
amounts to a couple million.”
Having no other choice, he could only use such an excuse to dispel her notion of returning the car.
“What? The liquidated damages cost that much?” Josephine was visibly taken aback. “What should we do, then?”
“The best solution is to just keep the car!” Chuckling, Jonathan continued, “What’s more, there’s no such thing as returning a gift
from me! Trust me, Darling. I’m no longer the person I was three years ago. I’ll slowly repay the money I owe Zachary.”
“How are you going to repay twenty over million?” Josephine was still a tad infuriated right then.
He actually used twenty over million to buy a car! Isn’t it much better to buy ten houses and wait for them to appreciate?
“Zachary has already recommended me a job, and I’ll start working in a few days. At that time, I’ll reimburse him gradually with
my pay,” Jonathan fibbed. “Besides, he doesn’t care about the twenty million since he isn’t lacking funds. He won’t force me to
return the money to him!”
Force me to return the money to him? How could he possibly dare to do so?

“What kind of job did he recommend you?” Sure enough, when Josephine heard that Zachary introduced a job to him, her
expression eased significantly.
I don’t really have much to ask of him. I’ll be contented as long as he has his feet planted firmly on the ground and holds a proper
job without straying from the path!
“I think it was some real estate company. He hasn’t told me what position I’d be holding exactly, but the pay is very high. I’ll be
going over to the company for a visit sometime later,” Jonathan prevaricated.
“Indeed, real estate companies are generous in paying their employees!” Josephine nodded in agreement.
The prices of real estate have been ballooning time and again in recent years. Hence, those working for real estate companies
have made a fortune! If he were to work for a real estate company, he would make quite a lot of money!
“Don’t be extravagant when you start working there. Instead, you must save the money you make. Later, I’ll make some inquiries
and see whether anyone wants to buy this car. Even if the price is slightly lower, it’s better than wasting the money!” Josephine
was still contemplating how to sell off the car and return the money to Zachary.
Since this sports car is bought with money that’s on loan, I’ll feel rather uneasy using it.
“All right. Then, just drive it first in the meantime.” Jonathan didn’t bother wasting his breath to dissuade her further but racked
his brains about finding a real estate company.
Hmm... Should I just buy one?
Half an hour later, the bright red Lamborghini screeched to a stop outside the community gate.
Meanwhile, the shabby electric scooter was also parked there all alone.
As soon as they alighted from the car, Josephine headed toward the shabby electric scooter. Seeing that, Jonathan was pretty
surprised. “Are you still going to ride the electric scooter, Darling?”
“I’ll ride it when we’re nearing home.” Josephine entered the community while wheeling the electric scooter along. “Don’t ever let
it slip to my parents that you bought a sports car. Otherwise, they’ll definitely come up with a way to make it theirs!”
I know better than anyone what my own parents are like! Never mind if Jonathan hasn’t a dime to his name, but once they learn
that he has money to buy a sports car, they’ll certainly do everything possible to get some money out of him!

“Ah, you’re right!” Jonathan couldn’t agree more. “You’re the best, Darling!”
“Stop sweetening me up!” Josephine threw him a glare over her shoulder.
Shortly after, they went home side by side.
The moment they opened the door, they were greeted by the sight of Margaret with her arms akimbo, ordering Connor about.
Connor, on the other hand, was on his hands and knees on the ground in an apron, wiping the floor without daring to utter a
single word of protest.
He looked exactly like Jonathan back then.
“Mom!” After calling out a greeting, Josephine slipped off her high heels and walked into the house.
But the second Margaret caught sight of Jonathan, she instantly placed her hands on her hips and bellowed, “Jonathan, where
did you go, you useless piece of trash? I hadn’t seen you the entire day! What do you take my house for? A hotel or a hostel that
you could come and go as you please?”
“Mom, he went to my office to pick me up from work,” Josephine instinctively chimed in with a frown when she saw her mother’s
nasty attitude.
“Pick you up from work? Don’t you know the way home that you need him to go and pick you up?” Snorting coldly, Margaret
glowered at Jonathan and snapped, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and cook!”
“I’m tired and have no energy to cook.” Jonathan couldn’t be bothered to do her bidding.
I’m not going to give in to her loathsome demand. Is she still hoping to have me at her beck and call as she did back then? Well,
in her dreams!
“What kind of attitude is this, Jonathan?” Margaret’s temper spiked at once when he turned her down again. “Great, just great!
You’re getting bolder now, huh, Jonathan? Not only do you refuse to mop the floor and repair the toilet, but you won’t even cook
now! Do you think that I really dare not kick you out of the Smith residence?”
“If you want to kick me out, you can do so this very minute.” Jonathan then nonchalantly added, “Anyway, the new mansion I
bought has already been transferred to my name. As long as Josephine goes with me, I have no problems leaving this place
right away!”

“The new mansion you bought?” Hearing that, Margaret couldn’t help sneering, “Why, have you not awaken from the dream you
had last night? Would a deadbeat like you afford to buy a mansion? So, where is this mansion of yours? And when are you going
to invite me there for a visit?”
Derision was written all over her face.
Good Lord! He claims to have bought a mansion, huh? If a loser like him can afford to buy one, I’ll eat my words tomorrow!
“I forgot where it is.” After pondering for a moment, Jonathan ventured, “If I remember correctly, it’s No. 1 Villa in Edenic
Heights.”
“No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights?” When Margaret heard that, she could no longer keep her snickers at bay. “You’re truly gutsy in
blowing your own trumpet, Jonathan! Aren’t you afraid that you’ll doom yourself one day? The No. 1 Villa? Do you know who the
owner of the mansion is?”
