Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, Margaret dragged Josephine out of the house, giving virtual-novel.net no chance to decline.
“Stupid girl! Do you realize that you almost handed No. 1 Villa to another girl on a silver platter?”
The moment they left, Margaret tapped virtual-novel.net knuckle angrily on Josephine’s head. She had almost burst a vessel.
“Just let them move in. What’s the big deal about me not living there?” Josephine wasn’t bothered by it.
“Josephine, you are already in your twenties. Can you stop being so childish?” Margaret gave Josephine a look of disappointment. “When Jonathan used to be a cowardly piece of trash, no girl would even fancy him. But now that virtual-novel.net is living in No. 1 Villa, there will be tons of girls dying to get in his bed! If you don’t take your chances, someone else will!”
“Let them have it then!” Josephine replied indifferently.
Although virtual-novel.net impression of Jonathan had improved, virtual-novel.net hadn’t reached the stage where virtual-novel.net couldn’t do without him.
“Hmph! There’s no way we’re going to let some other girls take your half of the house,” Margaret scoffed as a cunning glint flashed in virtual-novel.net eye. “Josephine, after you move in, you must get the ownership of the house transferred to your name.”
“What for?” Josephine furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows.
“You’re such a fool!” Margaret glared at her. “Only by having your name on the title deed would you truly be the lady of the house. Or else, what happens if Jonathan is seduced away by a vixen and kicks you out?”
“There’s no way virtual-novel.net would agree to that. Furthermore, I won’t do it either!” Josephine rejected Margaret’s idea outright.
There was no way virtual-novel.net would participate in such an underhanded scheme. Even if Jonathan had bought the house instead of borrowed it, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t do it either.
Considering virtual-novel.net had nothing to do with the house, virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net had no right to ask for its ownership to be transferred to her.
“All you need to do is to gently persuade virtual-novel.net to do so. Isn’t it easy?” Margaret sneered. After all, virtual-novel.net was confident of virtual-novel.net methods when it came to someone as useless as Jonathan.
“Mom, what are you taking me for?” Josephine’s expression drastically darkened. “What’s the difference between what you’re attempting and scamming someone?”
“Stupid girl! How can you say such a thing? This isn’t a scam. You are undoubtedly the lady of No. 1 Villa. So, what’s wrong with having its ownership transferred to you?” Margaret’s exasperation was written all over virtual-novel.net face.
Ah! Why is my daughter so dumb?!
An hour later, Margaret called a moving company and moved everything they had from the Smith residence over.
The moment they arrived at No. 1 Villa, virtual-novel.net behaved like the lady of the house as virtual-novel.net ordered the movers to stuff everything virtual-novel.net brought into the mansion. With that, the glorious No. 1 Villa was inadvertently degraded by a few rungs.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net criticized the movers with virtual-novel.net hands on virtual-novel.net hips.
“Be careful! Can you even afford the compensation if you break something? Do you know where this is? This is the No. 1 Villa of Edenic Heights. The most expensive mansion in Jadeborough! If you scratch the walls, your annual salary wouldn’t be enough to pay for it!”
Given how virtual-novel.net was behaving, those not in the know would assume that virtual-novel.net was the owner.
As for Josephine, virtual-novel.net was peeved at how virtual-novel.net mom was acting.
“Jonathan, why don’t we move back…” Before Jonathan could say a word, Josephine couldn’t stand it anymore.
“What for?” Jonathan replied with a smile. “You can do whatever virtual-novel.net wants. Anyway, your room is ready. Shall I show it to you?”
“No, it’s fine…”
Feeling awkward, Josephine shook virtual-novel.net head. Despite being Jonathan’s official wife, virtual-novel.net was still sleeping in a separate room even though virtual-novel.net had moved into his house.
Unlike in the past where virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have bothered, virtual-novel.net was now feeling perplexed over the situation.
“Jonathan, where’s my room?” The moment Josephine spoke, the sound of Emmeline’s stilettos preceded virtual-novel.net arrival. Her tone was utterly rude, just like Margaret’s.
“Didn’t I tell you before? You have to speak nicely to me,” Jonathan flicked his finger on virtual-novel.net head. “Your room is on the second floor.”
“Stop doing that!” Covering virtual-novel.net head, Emmeline glared fiercely at Jonathan before stomping virtual-novel.net way up to the second floor.
Compared to virtual-novel.net useless brother-in-law, virtual-novel.net was obviously more interested in virtual-novel.net room.
“Ignore her. She has been spoilt by my mom.” Josephine felt acrimonious in response. Although they were moving into Jonathan’s mansion, it felt as if they were doing virtual-novel.net a favor instead.
How can they not show virtual-novel.net any respect?
“It doesn’t matter. After all, virtual-novel.net doesn’t see me as virtual-novel.net brother-in-law anyway…”
Jonathan had no illusions about the entire family’s character. If it weren’t for Josephine, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t even look at them. He knew all of them were nothing but greedy and vain.
Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, Emmeline stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks and turned toward Josephine. “By the way, Josephine, give me a thousand.”
“What do you want the money for?” Josephine furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows.
“My friend is having a birthday party. There’s no way I’m going to attend it by riding that electric scooter of yours, am I? Also, I have to get a present. I can’t just go empty-handed, can I?” Emmeline retorted as a matter of factly.
“Why do you need a thousand for the present?” Josephine shot virtual-novel.net a glare.
Their family wasn’t wealthy. Even when shopping for clothes, virtual-novel.net always couldn’t bring herself to buy anything expensive. Therefore, virtual-novel.net was surprised that virtual-novel.net sister wanted to splurge on such an expensive birthday gift.
“Sheesh, a thousand is nothing. Do you know where the birthday party is being held? At Phoenix International Hotel, a five-star hotel. I heard a casual meal there easily runs into the thousands!” Rolling her eyes, Emmeline impatiently added, “Besides, the other students are either arriving in luxury cars or giving out branded bags as presents. If I got an imitation bag as a present, wouldn’t I be the butt of everyone’s jokes? Or else, why don’t you borrow a sports car to send me?”
Even though virtual-novel.net obviously knew Josephine only had a creaky electric scooter, virtual-novel.net continued with virtual-novel.net insinuations. “By then, no one would laugh at me even if I went empty-handed.”
“How about it? I saw a red Lamborghini parked outside our residence. Why don’t you go borrow it for me?”
