The Legendary Man

Chapter 58 A Con

Half an hour later, Josephine pushed open the door of the Smith residence.

When Margaret saw that she came home alone, she instantly sneered, “Where’s that worthless piece of trash? Is he hiding behind the door, not daring to come in?”

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, that useless bum, Jonathan, must be hiding behind the door since he doesn’t dare come in and face me!

“No.” Josephine shook her head. “I didn’t find him.”

“Forget about it, then!” Harrumphing, Margaret derided, “He’ll learn his lesson after spending a night on the streets in the cold! Does he really think that he’s some big shot just because he’s acquainted with one? He’s still a loser at the end of the day, no?”

“Mom, don’t you think you’re being too demeaning toward Jonathan? If it weren’t for him, the Smith family would’ve long since met its end!” Josephine couldn’t help countering.

“So what?” Snorting, Margaret riposted, “Who saved him back when he was being hunted and was all alone? And who was the one who supported him for a whole year? If it weren’t for me, he would’ve starved to death long ago! What’s the big deal about resolving an issue for the Smith family? Isn’t that his obligation?”

“Mom, you’re simply unreasonable!” Realizing that she couldn’t get through to her mother, Josephine huffily stormed toward her room.

At the sight of her indignance, Margaret barked coldly, “Listen here, Josephine. Don’t listen to that useless bum’s nonsensical talk! Someone like him will always remain a worthless piece of trash for the rest of his life! After we’ve used him to build a relationship with Zachary, divorce him immediately!”

In truth, she had never planned to accept Jonathan.

I’ve already supported a deadbeat like him for a whole year! How could I possibly continue supporting him for the days he has left? After milking him dry, I’ll just toss him away!

“I’ll never divorce him!” Josephine was so enraged that her eyes blazed scarlet. “If you love getting divorced so much, do so yourself!”

“Watch how you’re speaking to me, girl!” Margaret went postal after hearing her remark. “He’s only been back for a few days, yet you’re crazy about him! What kind of spell did he cast on you that you keep siding with him? Back then, wasn’t it you who wanted to divorce him? Why have you changed your mind now?”
