I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 145

Mabel nodded and explained, “Obviously, it's straightforward. Old Mr. Harrington has determined who you are. He is the head of the Harrington family, and he considers issues from his family's perspective. You are the Chosen One. If you don't marry Ms. Catherine, you will most likely become the enemy of the Harrington family when you join Divine Realm.”

Jonathan replied, “Do you think that a marriage certificate can solve everything? Ms. Catherine and I are destined to be in conflict anyway.”

“You have to understand that Old Mr. Harrington suggested this condition based on your character. He knows that if you become a member of the Harrington family, you will definitely be responsible for Catherine. That's why he set this condition. If it wasn't for you, Old Mr. Harrington wouldn't have been so desperate to marry Ms. Catherine to you. You must know that she is twenty years old and is known as the prettiest girl in Yaleview. Many young men born into affluent families want to marry her but can't do so. You are getting a bargain.” She drove the car forward smoothly and steadily.

Jonathan touched his nose and replied, “If it were just my own problem, I wouldn't need to think more about it. No matter how beautiful Catherine is, it has nothing to do with me. I really don't want to get married. However, right now, if there's no other way, I guess I'll have to say yes.”

Mabel smiled and agreed, “That's right.”

There was a bitter look on Jonathan's face.

At first, Polly wanted Jonathan to marry Amber, but he was not willing. That was because he didn't want to hurt Amber. He knew his own personality. Besides, that was his own problem at the time.

However, the situation was getting worse at the moment. If he didn't solve this matter himself, it would harm Amber and the others. Jonathan couldn't accept that to happen.

“Since you've agreed, let's go back now,” Mabel blurted.

Shocked, he immediately refused, “No, I still have to meet Jennifer and the others.”

She smiled faintly. “I didn't expect you to be so infatuated. Then, I'll take you to Old Mr. Johnson's house.”

“Okay, but let's go and buy some gifts first.”

Mabel replied, “It's okay. Old Mr. Johnson likes wine. I have some wine in the back of my car. You can just take it out and give it to him.”

Jonathan nodded. “That's great.”

Neither of them had breakfast yet. After entering the downtown, they went to a restaurant to fill their stomachs.

It was a nice and warm day. The sun was shining brightly in the cloudless sky.

Yaleview rarely had such beautiful weather.

After breakfast, Jonathan and Mabel made their way to Arthur's house.

However, she just dropped him off in front of Arthur's house when they reached there. When she stopped the car, she said, “Okay, you can go in yourself. I have become your housekeeper for the past two days.”

Jonathan could not help but feel down as he asked, “You're not going in?”

“Why should I go in?”

He glanced at her before letting out a chuckle all of a sudden. “I feel like you're very afraid of visiting Old Mr. Johnson.”

Mabel blushed and scolded, “Get lost.”

Jonathan burst into laughter when he saw her getting shy. With that, he opened the door and got out of the car.

“The wine is in the boot,” Mabel reminded.

After picking up the wine, he went to her and said, “I can't stay here forever. I'll call you when I'm done. Can you pick me up?”

“Do you think I'm really your housekeeper and chauffeur? Go back by yourself. Here's the key.” She handed a string of keys to him.

He cackled with laughter as he took it gleefully.

Then, Mabel turned the steering and left.

Meanwhile, Jonathan strode toward Arthur's Vipod Residence.

As he walked through a small alley, it reminded Jonathan of Yaleview's historical architecture. Soon, he entered Vipod Residence.

The surroundings looked serene as the sun shone on the greenery in the yard.

Nobody stopped Jonathan when he stepped foot in the place. However, he felt that he was in a place with tight security as if he would be given a drubbing if he did something wrong.

The security level here was over-the-top, and it was invisible so as not to disturb the daily lives of the commanders.

The reason why he could enter was that he had been considered safe by those hidden expert fighters.

As soon as Jonathan set foot in the residence, he saw Amber, Yasmin, and Jessica playing poker.

Meanwhile, Arthur was reading the newspaper with his glasses.

The moment Jonathan came in, Amber and the others spotted him. Amber was in a good mood and greeted with a smile, “Hello, busy bee. You're here finally. Jessica is almost suffering from lovesickness for missing you too much.”

Jessica blushed and denied, “Amber, obviously you are the one who is thinking about him.”

Hearing this, Yannis smiled helplessly, and Jennifer seemed to be uneasy.

Winnie, who was sitting beside Jennifer quietly, rushed over in a flash and greeted Jonathan happily when she saw him.

Jonathan hugged the girl and smiled at Amber and the others. He joked, “The one who wins must treat us to a meal.”

As he said that, he went to Arthur with the wine while having Winnie in his arms. “Old Mr. Johnson, I hear that you like wine. I picked up a few bottles from Mabel.”

Arthur put the newspaper aside. When he saw the Malteer in Jonathan's hand, his eyes lit up. Arthur laughed and praised, “Wow, this is a great wine. Thank you, Jonathan.”

The two guards behind Arthur immediately took the wine.

Arthur told Jonathan to have a seat beside him.

Nodding, Jonathan sat down.

Arthur suggested, “Are you okay with staying here for lunch today?”

Jonathan agreed, “Okay, Old Mr. Johnson.”

After that, both of them continued to be engaged in a conversation. Jonathan answered every question Arthur asked with respect.

He finally understood why Mabel did not like to visit this place. Talking to Arthur was nerve-racking because Arthur's aura was too strong and domineering.

After chatting for a while, Arthur suggested, “Let's have a walk in the courtyard.”

Jonathan understood that Arthur had something to ask, so he gave him a nod without further ado and got up. “Sure, Old Mr. Johnson.”

With that, Jonathan put Winnie down and let her go to Jennifer.

The girl was very obedient. She ran to Jennifer after saying goodbye to Jonathan and Arthur.

Before long, Arthur brought Jonathan out of Vipod Residence with two guards treading on Arthur and Jonathan's heels.

Vipod Residence was like a maze; the courtyards were well-connected with numerous alleys.

Jonathan was following closely behind Arthur.

As the former strolled forward, he asked, “Jonathan, how are you doing?”

It was a question for which there was no specified answer, but Jonathan knew what Arthur meant. He took a deep breath and revealed, “We've figured out a solution for what's going on right now, and we're working on it. Although it's difficult, I'll try my best to get it done.”

Arthur smiled and stopped asking. Although he didn't talk much, he always had a clear idea about what was going on.
