The Legendary Man

Chapter 168 The Foolish Woman

“Stop trying to dupe me, Jonathan! How could that worthless watch be worth over ten million?” Margaret didn’t believe Jonathan in the slightest.

Could a dud like him be willing to buy a watch costing more than ten million? What a lie!

“It’s your choice whether you believe me or otherwise, but the receipt is in the box. If you don’t believe me, you can go and take a look for yourself!” Jonathan was not in the mood to continue talking with her.

“Who knows whether your receipt is genuine or fake?” Margaret rolled her eyes, but still, she couldn’t resist opening the box.

The moment she saw that the receipt indeed indicated thirty-six million, her eyes abruptly went wide. “Have you lost your mind, Jonathan, you wastrel? You spent more than thirty million to buy two worthless watches?”

She gaped at him as though he was a nutcase.

There were plenty of things he could’ve bought with over thirty million, yet he bought two worthless watches? He must be a sandwich short of a picnic!

“I don’t think how much I spend has anything to do with you!” Jonathan threw her a chilly look.

“Who said it has nothing to do with me?” Puffing up her chest, Margaret asserted, “Your money is Josephine’s money, no? And she’s my daughter, so it has something to do with me!”

Before she could launch into her spiel, Jonathan interrupted, “My money is indeed hers, but her money isn’t necessarily yours! All right, stop trying to sell me your nonsense! If you’ve got so much time to prattle, you’d be better served to figure out an idea to get the watch back!”

“How am I going to get it back when I’ve already given it to them to clear my debt?” Margaret couldn’t help rolling her eyes once more.

“Just get it back in the same manner you gave it to them! Do you need me to teach you even that?” At this point, Jonathan was thoroughly fed up with this foolish woman.

“I’ve got no money!” Margaret answered curtly.

So what if the watch cost over ten million? I wasn’t the one who bought it anyway. So be it if it’s gone! No way am I going to fork out fifty thousand to buy it back!

“I’ll give you the money!” Jonathan snapped impatiently. If it weren’t for Josephine’s sake, I wouldn’t even bother with this brainless woman!
