“Jonathan, you…” Pointing virtual-novel.net finger angrily at Jonathan, Margaret stared daggers at him. “How dare you talk to me that way?!”
“When I was living in the Smith residence, didn’t you treat me the same way?” Jonathan stared coldly at Margaret.
All this while, virtual-novel.net had tolerated virtual-novel.net attitude on Josephine’s account. Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net simply pressed virtual-novel.net advantage and provoked virtual-novel.net further.
Does virtual-novel.net take me for a punching bag?
“Either you move out, or do as I say!” Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, Jonathan lit up a cigarette and glared intently at Margaret.
When they were in the Smith residence, virtual-novel.net would tolerate all virtual-novel.net insults for Josephine’s sake. But now that they had moved into No. 1 Villa, virtual-novel.net wasn’t going to tolerate virtual-novel.net nonsense.
“Fine, Jonathan! Now that you’re somebody, how dare you do this to me?” Margaret’s expression drastically changed. “No matter how you’re trying to get rid of me, I’m not leaving! I dare you to kick me out. If you do, I will take Josephine along with me!”
Given that Jonathan had pressured virtual-novel.net that way, virtual-novel.net attempted to turn the tables by using Josephine to threaten him.
“That will depend on whether virtual-novel.net wants to leave with you.” Jonathan sneered, “If you leave with her, virtual-novel.net won’t be able to get virtual-novel.net name added to the title deed.”
“You…”
Jonathan had struck Margaret where it hurt the most. After all, virtual-novel.net true objective was to have virtual-novel.net daughter become the official owner of the mansion.
Just as expected, Margaret’s expression drastically changed.
Gritting virtual-novel.net teeth, virtual-novel.net retorted, “Bavo, Jonathan! It looks like I have underestimated you. Doing the dishes and cleaning the floor is no big deal. Fine, I’ll do it!”
How dare a cowardly sc*mbag like you threaten me?
When the property ownership is transferred to Josephine, I will be the first to kick you out!
“Don’t forget to clean the toilet bowl!”
Stubbing out his cigarette, Jonathan looked in Emmeline’s direction. “Is the birthday party about to start?”
“Yes, it’s starting very soon!” Emmeline checked virtual-novel.net watch. “There’s still half an hour to go.”
“Come, I’ll send you.”
Jonathan got to his feet in a nonchalant manner.
The moment virtual-novel.net heard Jonathan offer to send her, Emmeline followed virtual-novel.net out without another word, as if virtual-novel.net raging mom behind virtual-novel.net was invisible.
“Stupid girl!” Watching Emmeline follow behind Jonathan like a loyal puppy, Margaret yelled at the top of virtual-novel.net lungs, “Come back here!”
However, Emmeline ignored virtual-novel.net cries and pretended not to hear.
Clack!
The moment the key was pressed, the car’s light illuminated the entire mansion.
“Get in!”
When Jonathan pushed the start button, the engine ignited with a rumbling growl. The Lamborghini had instantly roared to life.
“Jonathan, did you really buy this car?” After getting in, Emmeline couldn’t stop admiring every corner of the car.
Previously, virtual-novel.net had only seen the car in movies or when virtual-novel.net rich friends drove it. Hence, virtual-novel.net never had the opportunity even to touch one before. Sitting inside the Lamborghini, everything felt surreal to her.
“Does it really matter if I bought it?” Jonathan gave virtual-novel.net a casual glance. “All that counts is that the key is in my hands.”
“Jonathan, I can’t believe how much you have changed after not seeing you for a few years. Not only can you afford a mansion, you even bought a sports car. Back then, why weren’t you so capable?” Emmeline sighed as virtual-novel.net made herself comfortable in the Lamborghini’s seat.
No one was going to look down upon virtual-novel.net anymore when virtual-novel.net arrived at the birthday party in a Lamborghini.
“Back then…” Jonathan smirked. The thought of how virtual-novel.net was treated like trash at the Smith residence caused virtual-novel.net to floor the accelerator instantly.
With a thunderous roar, the red Lamborghini sped ahead, leaving a storm of dust behind it.
“Jonathan, when you see my classmates later, you have to tell them that you bought the car instead of having borrowed it,” Emmeline reminded Jonathan along the journey there. After all, virtual-novel.net would be disgraced if word got out that the car was borrowed.
“I’m just sending you there. I don’t intend to accompany you to the birthday party,” Jonathan rejected virtual-novel.net suggestion.
If virtual-novel.net weren’t Josephine’s sister, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have even bothered. After all, virtual-novel.net did ridicule virtual-novel.net all the time back at the Smith residence.
“That won’t do!” Emmeline grew desperate. “If you leave, who is going to pick me up later?”
“Take a taxi!” Jonathan snapped. “Didn’t your sister give you some money?”
“No, you have to go with me!” Emmeline didn’t leave Jonathan any room for discussion.
Considering how hard it was to have an opportunity to show off to virtual-novel.net friends, there was no way virtual-novel.net wasn’t going to milk it for what it was worth.
“I’m not interested!” Jonathan was firm in his refusal. After all, a kids’ gathering was meaningless to him.
“Jonathan, if you dare to leave, I will tell Josephine about it!” Left without a choice, Emmeline threatened Jonathan.
However, there was no way Jonathan was going to fall for it.
“Whatever!” Jonathan added, “Don’t forget that your sister objects to me sending you here.”
“You…” Emmeline was stumped by Jonathan’s rebuttal.
“Jonathan, please, I beg of you…” Having no other option, Emmeline acquiesced and resorted to pleading reluctantly.
Three years ago, Jonathan had worked tirelessly in the Smith residence to serve virtual-novel.net family. But three years later, the tables were turned with virtual-novel.net begging Jonathan.
“What did you call me?” Jonathan shot virtual-novel.net a glare.
“Jonathan…” Emmeline didn’t catch Jonathan’s hint.
“I’ll give you one more chance. Think properly about how you are supposed to address me.”
The moment Jonathan gave Emmeline the side-eye, the answer dawned upon her. She cried out immediately, “My dearest brother-in-law, Jonathan!”
“You have to show some respect when speaking to me moving forward. Do you understand?” Jonathan stared intently at her.
“I understand…” Emmeline hung virtual-novel.net head low as virtual-novel.net bit virtual-novel.net lip.

Half an hour later, the red Lamborghini stopped in front of an opulent mansion.
Parked in front of it was an array of luxury sports cars. There was a Porsche, Bentley, Ferrari, and even a Maserati.
The moment the Lamborghini screeched to a halt, it attracted everyone’s attention.
When Emmeline opened the door and stepped out, everyone gasped in shock.
“It’s her?”
“Am I seeing things? Is it really Emmeline?”
“Doesn’t virtual-novel.net usually ride an electric scooter? Since when virtual-novel.net got to travel in a sports car?”
