Chapter 468 The Witty Side Of Jonathan


Jonathan usually ignored Yosef, but he unexpectedly offered words of comfort and concern that day. Yosef was initially taken aback, but his expression drastically changed as he reflected on the meaning of Jonathan's words.

"What do you mean he's committed a serious offense? Jonathan, Jack has always been well-behaved and diligent at work. Don't tarnish his reputation with baseless accusations," Yosef retorted, knowing full well that Jack's abilities at work were average. However, in Eleanor's eyes, Jack represented him. He had maintained Jack's image and couldn't tolerate Jonathan tarnishing it.

Jonathan's demeanor shifted from concern to shock and puzzlement. "Uncle Yosef, does this mean you don't know?"

Yosef had no idea what Jonathan was talking about. He looked at his nephew, feeling a sense of foreboding rising within him. He couldn't help but wonder if Jonathan was trying to use Jack to attack him.

Refusing to take the bait, he attempted to change the subject. He forced a smile and said, "Jonathan, since you're busy, I won't have the kitchen prepare lunch for you. Rest assured, your grandmother has me to keep her company. If you care, just visit her occasionally." He was subtly reminding Eleanor that Jonathan rarely returned to Finch Manor. Naturally, Jonathan saw through Yosef's tactic but had no intention of letting him off the hook so easily.

"Uncle Yosef, I thought you cared about Jack, but it seems..." Jonathan shook his head and easily brought the conversation back on track.

Upon seeing the stiff smile on Yosef's face disappear, he sighed. "Jack probably got involved in that illicit gathering and drug abuse case because he felt neglected by you." Yosef's mind went blank, and the smile on his face completely vanished.

"What do you mean by illicit gathering and drug abuse? Jonathan, how could you spread such slander about Jack? As his cousin and a member of the Finch family, you should be ashamed of yourself!" he scolded angrily, for he knew such serious accusations against his son were also a direct blow to him.

Jonathan looked at Yosef innocently. "But Uncle Yosef, I'm not slandering him. I only heard about this incident this morning when I overheard some chatter at the company.
