Meanwhile, Jonathan stepped out of the Leigh family residence, contemplating whether to hail a taxi when a red Audi stopped in front of him.
"Get in."
The car window lowered, revealing Evelyn's delicate and pretty face.
"Woman, why are you here?" Jonathan was taken aback before his eyes widened, "You surely don't like me and came here specifically to pick me up?"
"Who likes you! Get in the car quickly. And, don't call me 'woman' anymore!" Evelyn retorted angrily.
If it wasn't for her grandfather's insistence, she would not want to meet Jonathan.
Especially when he kept calling her 'woman', it was uncomfortable for her.
Jonathan opened the door and got into the passenger seat, “If I don't call you 'woman', what should I call you?"
"Call me by my name."
Evelyn said coldly before starting the car.
On the road, Evelyn asked, “How is Mr. Leigh's health?"
"With me on the case, there's naturally no problem. The old man is already well," Jonathan said.
Hearing this, Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief. In her heart, Liam was a good elder, and she didn't want anything to happen to him.
"My grandfather said, now that you've cured Mr. Leigh, the Ford family will remember this favor. If you need anything in the future, just say the word, the Ford family will help you," Evelyn said.
Jonathan sneered, Mr. Ford is all talk and no action. Look at Mr. Leigh, directly gave five million, so sincere.
At this time, Evelyn continued, “Grandpa said to thank you, he plans to give you the villa at Silver Snow Mountain."
Hearing this, Jonathan immediately perked up, “Is it the villa worth five million?"
"Yes, that one," Evelyn nodded.
Jonathan was overjoyed, he took back what he said earlier, Mr. Ford was quite considerate after all.
"When can I move in?" Jonathan hurriedly asked.
Evelyn said, “You can move in tonight... I thought you didn't like villas?"
Nonsense, who wouldn't like a villa!
Jonathan thought so, but said, “Living in a hotel is troublesome, it doesn't feel like home."
Evelyn nodded, not saying anything.
After all, a hotel is a hotel, it doesn't feel like a proper place to live, and she also doesn't like staying in hotels.
Evelyn first drove to the Goldkeep Hotel, quickly packed some things, and then headed straight for the Silver Snow Mountain Villa district.
Silver Snow Mountain Villa district is in the suburbs of Skyward State. Although it's relatively far from the city center, the environment here is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. Silver Snow Mountain was specifically designed for the elites and it's quite popular.
Jonathan was looking at the passing cars outside, fantasizing about what the villa would look like, when suddenly the car stopped. The inertia almost made him hit the windshield.
"Damn! Woman, are you trying to murder your own husband?" Jonathan yelled out.
Evelyn quickly said, “Who's trying to murder you, there's a car blocking the way ahead."
Jonathan turned his head to look, only to see a car blocking their path.
"Damn! How does this guy drive, is he going to let others pass or not!" Jonathan cursed.
Just as he finished speaking, they heard a thud, and the whole car shook uncontrollably a few times.
They had been rear-ended!
Jonathan was furious, he was eager to move into the villa!
He immediately got out of the car and shouted at the car behind, “Bastard, are you blind, how do you drive!"
Evelyn also got out of the car, her eyebrows furrowed, she had a feeling that the other party did it on purpose.
At this moment, eight men got out of two cars and quickly surrounded Jonathan and Evelyn.
The bald man at the front sneered, “Ms. Ford, you've made us search hard for you."
"Who are you?" Evelyn asked coldly.
She knew that these men were after her.
The bald man gave a cruel smile, “Who we are isn't important, what's important is that today we plan to send you to meet your maker!"
"Did you not hear what I said, how do you drive, don't you know that my time is precious!"
Seeing that the bald man was ignoring him, Jonathan said unhappily.
The bald man's eyes turned cold, “So annoying, kill him!"
As soon as his words fell, a man with a dagger rushed towards Jonathan.
"Watch out!" Evelyn quickly warned.
The next second, with a bang, the man was sent flying out.
"Damn! Dare to attack me, do you know who I am!" Jonathan said.
The bald man was a bit surprised, “Turns out he's a martial artist, everyone attack together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining six men quickly rushed towards Jonathan.
"Woman, stay back."
Jonathan rubbed his fists and rushed up.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In less than a minute, all six men were unconscious on the ground.
The bald man was dumbfounded, his brothers were all skilled fighters, yet they were dealt with so easily by this guy!
Jonathan sneered, “Is that all you've got? Back in my day, I could take on fifty, it was easier than this, are you capable or not?"
"Didn't expect you to be so capable, but... do you recognize this!"
As soon as his words fell, the bald man pulled out a gun and aimed it at Jonathan.
A gun!
Evelyn immediately became nervous, she didn't expect the other party to have a gun!
The bald man was also somewhat proud, no matter how capable you are, can you be more capable than the gun in my hand?
Jonathan said, “You think I'm afraid of this piece of junk?"
"Hmph, I hope you can still be so tough when you go to hell. Ms. Ford, don't worry, after I deal with this kid, I'll deal with..."
Before the bald man could finish his sentence, Jonathan, like a ghost, appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye and snatched the gun from his hand.
"You, you..."
The bald man was stunned. There was a distance of five to six meters between him and Jonathan, but Jonathan appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. How did he do it!
"You're trying to kill me with this piece of junk? I'll kill you!"
After saying that, Jonathan lifted his foot to kick.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Evelyn stopped Jonathan. She stepped forward and asked, “Who sent you?"
The bald man sneered, not even looking at Evelyn.
"Oh, your mouth is quite hard. You think I can't do anything to you?"
Jonathan pointed the gun at the bald man's forehead.
"Jonathan, they're after me. Let me deal with them," Evelyn said.
Let you deal with them?
Jonathan looked Evelyn up and down, there were eight men, was this girl too desperate?
Evelyn only felt uncomfortable all over, she glared at Jonathan, “What are you looking at!"
"Woman, you can't just pick any man to be your meal, these guys are so ugly, are you okay with that?"
Evelyn was stunned, her face instantly turned red, “Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!"
...
At the Cropper family villa.
Avery was sitting on the sofa, swirling her wine glass, with soft music playing in the living room.
"Sis, why are you in such a good mood today?" Joshua asked as he walked over.
Avery smiled, “I'm waiting for some good news."
Joshua was surprised, then ecstatic, “Did our people make a move?"
"From today, Evelyn will disappear from this world, and our Cropper family will swallow up the Ford family, becoming a famous large family in Skyward State!" Avery declared proudly.
"Hahaha! That's great! After dealing with the Ford family, I will send people to kill Jonathan! I want him to wish he was dead!" Joshua laughed out loud.
"Naturally, whoever dares to offend our Cropper family must be prepared for death."
At this moment, her phone rang.
Avery answered the call, and soon, her face turned gloomy.
"Sis, what happened?" Joshua asked cautiously.
Avery hung up the phone and angrily said,
"Jonathan! My Cropper family and you are mortal enemies!"
