The Legendary Man

Chapter 149 A Threat

Left without a choice, Josephine answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Is this Josephine Smith?” A raspy male voice was heard over the line. It was so jarring that it made one feel exceptionally uncomfortable.

“I am she. What is it?” Knitting her eyebrows, Josephine thought it was a call from some random salesperson.

“I want to let you know that the ecological park project isn’t something the Smith family is capable of handling. If you know what’s good for you, you should pull out of the project. Or else, I’ll have no choice but to force you out!” the voice over the line warned.

In response to the threat, Josephine’s face darkened. “What are you trying to say?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” The voice turned frosty. “I’m telling you to back out of the ecological park project!”

“What gives you the right?” Josephine’s expression turned grim when she heard the man’s words. “The Smith family took over the project after the Blackwood family left Jadeborough. Why should I back out just because you ask me to?”

“The Blackwood family?” The voice suddenly laughed insidiously. “They are nothing but one of our pawns in Jadeborough. Without our help, they wouldn’t even have gotten the project in the first place.

“Josephine, do you know how much the project is worth? It’s worth billions. Do you think the Blackwood family is able to take on the project just by themselves? My advice to you is to not go looking for trouble. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you won’t be killed in a car accident whenever you go out! Also, who knows what might happen to the Smith residence? What are you going to do if someone who detests you sets fire to your home one day?”

It was a blatant threat against Josephine’s life.

Nevertheless, Josephine was unfazed by it. She snapped, “Are you threatening me? Aren’t you worried that I’ll call the police on you?”

“The police? Do what you want. Do you think that I would dare call you if I was scared of the police?” The voice neither cared nor was afraid at all.
