Has this good-for-nothing lost his mind?
Isn’t virtual-novel.net aware my husband is the secretary-general?
Shortly after virtual-novel.net returned to virtual-novel.net senses, Amanda reached for virtual-novel.net phone to make a call.
Once the man on the other end picked up the call, virtual-novel.net gasped out virtual-novel.net complaint, “Darling, someone just slapped me in the face! I need you here with me! Bring along a few of your trusted aides with you!”
The middle-aged man asked with a hoarse voice, “What? Who’s this fool we’re talking about? What’s going on?”
Glaring at Jonathan in the eyes as virtual-novel.net carried on with the conversation, virtual-novel.net answered the man’s question, “He’s just a son-in-law of an inferior family! If I’m not mistaken, he’s called John or Jonathan!”
Just you wait until my husband’s here! I’ll make sure virtual-novel.net tortures you instead of setting you free!
“C-Come again? Can you verify if it’s John or Jonathan?” Henry’s voice started quivering against his will as soon as virtual-novel.net found out his wife might’ve offended a powerful figure.
“Why is that any of your business? Darling, aren’t you supposed to express concern over my condition when I’ve been slapped in the face? Does his name even matter?” Amanda queried because of Henry’s sudden change of attitude.
Out of nowhere, Henry raised his volume and repeated his question, “I’m not going to repeat myself anymore! Tell me his name!”
Amanda was slightly taken aback by Henry’s yell as it was evident virtual-novel.net husband was enraged.
She felt a chill running down virtual-novel.net spine and answered in a low voice, “I-I think it’s Jonathan Goldstein…”
Henry, who was on the other end of the call, gasped in silence when virtual-novel.net figured out the truth. He asked, “How have you offended him?”
“Are you trying to blame me when you’re supposed to defend me? Hello? I’m the victim of his brutality!”
“Cut the crap and tell me the reason virtual-novel.net has slapped you! You’d better tell me the truth without making up any stories! Otherwise, I’m going to chuck you aside when something happens in the future!”
“D-Darling, you’re intimidating me!” Amanda was horrified by the things awaiting her. It turned out Henry had never engaged himself in such a serious conversation with her.
Unwilling to waste his time anymore, the infuriated Henry yelled, “Am I supposed to repeat myself?!”
The startled Amanda hesitated no more and blurted out the truth, “Mrs. Harris and a few of us asked the man’s mother-in-law to join us for a game! In the end, we set virtual-novel.net up and got our hands on the watch virtual-novel.net brought along! It would cost a little more than ten million, but we managed to get it at fifty thousand because virtual-novel.net wasn’t aware of the actual value!”
“You and the likes of you need to learn your lesson, but I’ll put that aside until we get home!”
Henry urged shortly after virtual-novel.net warned Amanda to mind virtual-novel.net behaviors, “I want you to get down your knees and beg for his mercy until virtual-novel.net forgives you! Also, return virtual-novel.net the watch at once! Otherwise, you are no longer my wife from now onwards!”
What? Is virtual-novel.net seriously asking me to grovel myself at this loser’s mercy when he’s just a good-for-nothing piece of trash?
I’m the freaking wife of the secretary-general!
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to say something else, Henry interrupted virtual-novel.net and instructed, “I want you to hand Mr. Goldstein the phone now!”
“Darling, I-I…”
“I’m not going to repeat myself anymore!”
Intimidated by Henry’s response, Amanda rushed to Jonathan’s side and said, “My husband wishes to speak with you!”
After Jonathan took a peek at her, virtual-novel.net took over the phone and asked in a very cold tone, “What is it?”
“M-Mr. Goldstein, I’m so sorry! My foolish wife seems to have offended you! Allow me to express my utmost apology on virtual-novel.net behalf! As soon as I’m home, I’m going to teach virtual-novel.net a lesson for misbehaving! If it’s not enough, I’ll go over to prove my sincerity!”
“Do you know me?” Jonathan was slightly surprised when virtual-novel.net heard the man expressing his apologies over and over again the moment virtual-novel.net took over the phone.
“Yes, Mr. Goldstein! I was there at the construction site of the ecological park when you showed up with Mr. Swindell yesterday. You might not notice me because I was quite a distance away from the two of you.” Aware that virtual-novel.net was no match for Jonathan, Henry engaged himself in a conversation in a humble manner.
Jonathan finally figured out the reason the high and mighty secretary-general would carry himself in such a humble manner throughout the conversation when virtual-novel.net was merely inferior to a few people in the city.
“It’s not necessary to express your apologies repetitively. I’m going to leave once virtual-novel.net returns me the watch.”
“Yes, I’ll get virtual-novel.net to return the watch at once!” Jonathan returned the phone to Amanda seconds after virtual-novel.net wrapped up the conversation with Henry.
“I hope you haven’t forgotten the things I told you a few seconds ago! You’re aware of the consequences of your ignorance if you fail to keep my instructions in mind, aren’t you?” Amanda heard Henry warning virtual-novel.net again.
“I-I do!” Amanda whispered in return.
She knew virtual-novel.net had just messed things up with some sort of bigshot highly regarded by the high-rank officials of the city. If not, there was no way virtual-novel.net husband, who was the secretary-general, would listen to a live-in son-in-law.
“Hurry up and get going already! If you mess things up again, I’m going to file for divorce from you!” Henry hung up the call shortly after virtual-novel.net made himself clear.
There was fear in Amanda’s eyes when virtual-novel.net turned around and caught a glimpse of Jonathan.
She had a hard time comprehending the reason virtual-novel.net husband wasn’t against the idea of resorting to such an extreme countermeasure just to sever ties with her.
As soon as Amanda hung up the call, virtual-novel.net peers rushed over and asked while scowling, indicating they couldn’t wait to make fun of Jonathan.
“How is it? Has virtual-novel.net sorted everything out?”
“When will virtual-novel.net join us? Is virtual-novel.net on his way here as we speak?”
“Have you asked virtual-novel.net to bring along the cops to arrest this arrogant punk?”
To the chattering women’s surprise, Amanda glared at them with a frown and warned, “Shut up! Where’s the watch? Hand it to me and return it to them at once!”
“H-Huh? Why? What’s wrong, Amanda? Why are you returning the watch to them?” All the women were confused by the drastic turn of events out of nowhere. They thought they had been hearing things.
Instead of explaining, Amanda marched in Jonathan’s direction once virtual-novel.net found the watch.
As soon as virtual-novel.net reached Jonathan, virtual-novel.net groveled herself at his mercy in spite of virtual-novel.net friends’ presence. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Goldstein!”
