Chapter 284
The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 284 Are You Threatening Me âSeems like Jonathan did not lie to me!â When Sophia heard Emmett indirectly admitting to it, a glint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. âAm I the only one in the Goldstein family that doesnât know that Jonathan has been alive all these while? Iâm the only one who has been kept in the dark, right?â
It seemed to take all of Sophiaâs energy to say that.
Previously, she had thought that there could be some misunderstanding between Jonathan and the Goldstein family.
However, everything became clear to her when Emmett subconsciously revealed Jonathanâs whereabouts!
There was no misunderstanding!
Everyone in the Goldstein family knew that Jonathan was alive, except her!
Sophia could not help but feel like a fool for finding excuses for the Goldstein family previously.
âSo what if heâs alive?â Emmett said with a hint of irritation in his voice, âIs it important? Compared to the incident with the Zeller family, itâs such a trivial matter.â
âThis is not trivial at all!â Sophia retorted, biting her lips.
âYup, thatâs right. I knew that he was alive all along!â Emmett said coldly, âNot only that, but I was also the one who chased him out of the Goldstein family back then. Are you satisfied with my answer now?â
So it seemed that Emmett had never cared about Jonathan, whom he had personally driven out of the Goldstein family years back!
Guilt?
Regret?
Those feelings were simply non-existent!
Even to this day, Emmett still believed that he had not done anything wrong.
âBut Jonathan is your own grandson. Heâs the Goldstein familyâs flesh and blood and Danielâs only bloodline! How could you treat him that way?â Sophia was on the verge of breaking down as she exclaimed, âDo familial ties not matter to you at all? Back then, for Tommyâs sake, you chased Jonathan out of the Goldstein family shortly after Daniel and his wife passed away. And now, in order to gain benefits from the Zeller family, youâre thinking of handing me over to them? To you, the Goldstein familyâs interest is more important than my life, right?â
âSophia, what are you saying? Who taught you those nonsense? Is it that unfilial child Jonathan?â
Emmett asked in a stern voice.
He knew his daughterâs character very well. Since young, she had always listened to everything he said.
For the past thirty years, Sophia had always been a filial and obedient daughter to Emmett. However, that day, she had gone against him and reprimanded him just because of Jonathan!
She had also allowed Jonathan to cripple Troy!
What exactly are her intentions?
Is she rebelling against me now?
âNo! All he did was to tell me the truth! If it werenât for him, I would have still been kept in the dark!â
Sophia bit her lips and replied.
âSo whatâs the truth?â Emmett let out a cold snort. âIf I had known that his return to Yaleview would create so much trouble for us, I shouldnât have allowed him to live back then! Pass the phone to him now. I want to speak to that unfilial scum!â
âHeâs not an unfilial scum!â Sophia retorted.
âStop the nonsense and just pass him the phone!â Emmett ordered.
âNo!â Sophia refused immediately.
That was the first time in life that the woman had behaved in such a rebellious manner and it was all because of Jonathan!
âYouâ¦â
Emmett was so furious that his voice was trembling with rage. If he was speaking to Sophia in person instead of over the phone, he would have already given her a tight slap across her face!
However, just then, Jonathan, who had remained silent during the entire phone conversation, said, âDoes he want to talk to me? Pass me the phone then!â
âJonathanâ¦â
When Sophia heard what Jonathan said, she looked toward the man immediately, feeling extremely anxious!
âItâll be fine. Donât worry!â Jonathan said smilingly while patting Sophiaâs head. âHello?â
âYouâre Jonathan?â Emmett asked in an icy tone when he heard his grandsonâs voice.
âYup, itâs me! You wanted to speak to me?â Jonathan replied placidly.
âWhen did you arrive at Yaleview? Why didnât you tell me?â Emmett questioned Jonathan straight away.
âWhy should I tell you? Itâs none of your business when I reached Yaleview,â Jonathan answered coldly.
âYou are such an unfilial traitor!â Anger poured through Emmett when he heard Jonathanâs reply. âDo you know how much trouble youâve created for the Goldstein family this time around?â
âWhat has anything I do got to do with your Goldstein family?â Jonathan sneered. âThereâs one thing I need to reiterate. That is, since that day you chased me out of the family, I am no longer related to the Goldstein family! Emmett, are you clear?â
âWhat did you just say? You unfilial traitor! How dare you call me by my name?â A fresh swell of rage rose in Emmett. He could hardly believe that Jonathan had just addressed him by his name!
âWhy wouldnât I dare? To me, youâre no different from those passersby or vagrants on the streets. Iâm only calling your name because Iâm in a good mood. If Iâm in a bad mood, youâll just be a nobody to me.â
âYou⦠You ungrateful bast*rd!â Emmett bellowed as he shook with rage.
âThatâs enough. Stop wasting my time if thatâs all you wanted to say.â Jonathan could not be bothered to carry on the meaningless conversation. âIâll settle the Zeller family myself. I was the one who beat him up. It doesnât concern the Goldstein family at all. Do you understand?â
âHmph! Just because you say it has nothing to do with us doesnât mean thatâs really the case.â Emmett snorted furiously, âDonât you know that your actions have gotten Sophia into trouble as well? Jonathan, stop hiding behind a woman if you consider yourself a man! Youâre just making me look down on you more. Iâll give you one hour to come and kneel down before me. If you do that, Iâll consider sparing your life! Otherwiseâ¦â
âWhat are you going to do otherwise?â Jonathan scoffed, âAre you going to chase me out of the Goldstein family again?â
âOtherwise, donât blame me for being ruthless!â Emmett warned coldly. âIf I donât see you within an hour, you should know what are the consequences!â
That was a blatant threat!
However, Jonathan was not fazed by that at all.
âAre you threatening me?â When Jonathan heard what the man said, his gaze turned cold as he replied, âEmmett, do you know what I hate most? Being threatened.â
