The Legendary Man Chapter 17

“What? Are you serious?” Margaret stared at Jonathan, thinking he was out of his mind for making such a statement brazenly. “How will a loser like you do that, though? I don’t think you’ll even get to meet Mr. Blackwood, let alone have him apologize.”

It was clear that Jonathan was boasting, for there was no way he would get to meet the head of the Blackwood family with his lowly status. After all, the head of the Blackwood family, Anderson Blackwood, was such an important figure that even the mayor of Jadeborough had to make an appointment in advance to meet him.

She rolled her eyes at how arrogant Jonathan was.

The nerve of him to lie to us! Does he think we’re fools who will fall for his pompous lies?

“Give me one day. If I fail to do that, I will head to the City Hall with Josephine to file for divorce,” said

Jonathan, his eyes boring into Margaret’s. “But if I did it, you must give me your word not to force Josephine to divorce me in the future!”

Margaret let out a mocking grunt before teasing, “Ha! If you succeed, I’ll even let Josephine marry you one more time!”

She was obviously playing along to spite him, thinking he was building castles in the air.

I don’t think the even chairman of Langford Group, who is worth billions, would dare to make such a promise. This loser is sure funny, huh? He’s daydreaming!

“It’s a deal then!” Jonathan gave a curt reply before turning to look at Josephine. “One day later, the head of the Blackwood family shall come to offer his apology. Just you wait and see!”

“That’s enough, Jonathan. When will you drop the act?” Josephine snapped, resentment clouding her thoughts.
