The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 376 Out Of Her League âWhatâs wrong?â
When Cecilia saw that Paulâs mouth was covered in blood, she instantly frowned. âWho hit your mouth?â
âI donât know him!â
Paul covered his mouth and continued, âHe said that he was your creditor and wanted to collect his debt from you. I didnât let him come in, and he just beat me up!â
Paul wore an aggrieved expression on his face as he waited for Cecilia to get back at the man for him.
However, Ceciliaâs expression immediately changed when she heard him mention the creditor.
Is it Jonathan? I canât believe he actually dared to come here.
âA creditor? What debt is there to collect?â Wayde Larson instantly frowned upon hearing Paulâs words.
âWho would have the audacity to come to the Hansley residence to collect some debt?â
âI donât know,â Paul responded with his head down.
âHmph. I would like to know who has the guts to collect debts from the Hansley family!â Wayde instantly scoffed in response. âBring me to see him!â
âYes, Sir.â
With that, Wayde followed after Paul as they headed out the door. At that moment, Cecilia, who had been silent, suddenly stopped him. âWayde, donât bother about him. Heâs just some lunatic who came here out of nowhere. Why would you care about him? Just get Paul to chase him out.â
As she said that, she waved at Paul and ordered, âGet someone to chase him out.â
âYes, Miss.â
At Ceciliaâs orders, Paul rushed out without hesitation. Once Paul left, Cecilia smiled at the guests in the living room and said, âCarry on, everyone. Donât let a lunatic affect your mood.â
As soon as she finished her words, the banquet resumed once again, and it was as if it hadnât been disrupted at all.
Just then, Wayde turned toward Cecilia and asked, âCecilia, why didnât you let me go? I just wanted to take a look at who had such audacity to create a scene at the Hansley residence.â
âWhatâs there to look at about a lunatic? If he ends up going insane, then what would happen to you?â
Ceciliaâs smile seemed rather forced as she looked at him.
She was well aware of Jonathanâs personality.
Who knew what would happen if he actually got provoked and flew into a rage just like he did the other day.
After all, even an army of hundreds of mercenaries was no match for him. There was no way that the few bodyguards at the Hansley family could defeat him.
As she thought about this, Cecilia took out her phone and prepared to call the police.
At that moment, she happened to see a familiar figure walk into the living room. He casually took a glass of champagne from a beautiful waitress and took a small sip of it. With that, he glanced at Cecilia nonchalantly.
Although it was just a glance, Cecilia instantly felt a chill run down her spine.
Heâs here! He really is here!
As Cecilia scrutinized Jonathan, Jonathan was also scrutinizing her at the same time. Compared to how she was a few days ago, Cecilia now seemed confident and spirited.
It was as if she was a dazzling pearl in the center of everyoneâs attention.
There was no doubt that she was the focal point of the banquet.
Furthermore, her long white gown also accentuated her beauty, making her look like a proud princess who was basking in everyoneâs attention and focus.
There was nothing about her that seemed miserable.
âCecilia Hansley!â Jonathan called out softly.
Although he spoke in a soft voice, it was clear enough for everyone else to hear it.
In an instant, the crowd fell dead silent.
Everyone turned to look at Jonathan.
At such gatherings, it was extremely rude to address Cecilia by her full name. They would usually address her as Cecilia, Ms. Hansley, or by her Ustranasion name, Selena.
âWho said that?â
Many of the men glared at Jonathan, and there was even a trace of anger in their eyes.
Once they saw Jonathan standing there with a glass of champagne in his hand, a hint of disdain and contempt flashed across their eyes.
Jonathan seemed completely out of place at the banquet.
Only those with prominent statuses could attend the banquet that night. All of them were either sons or daughters of wealthy families.
Even those of the lowest status among them were elites and leading figures in the industry.
No matter how their looks were, they still looked decent and well-dressed in their suits and gowns.
Jonathan, on the other hand, was wearing a set of cheap casual wear.
They could tell that it wasnât worth much at a glance. Besides that, they just wanted to laugh at the pair of unbranded sports shoes that he was wearing.
What era are we in? How could someone dress so shabbily?
âWho are you? Who allowed you to barge in? Donât you know that this is private property, and outsiders are prohibited from entering?â
A middle-aged man dressed decently in a black suit snapped at Jonathan.
The outsider that he was referring to was, of course, Jonathan.
Nonetheless, Jonathan paid no attention to him and didnât even spare him a glance. He simply swirled his champagne glass gently and glanced at Cecilia.
The moment she met Jonathanâs eyes, Cecilia immediately panicked.
An inexplicable fear instantly overwhelmed her.
In an instant, she remembered how a few days ago, Jonathan killed hundreds of soldiers with a gun and left them with no chance against him.
She swore that she had never felt as complicated as how she was currently feeling.
Besides that, she had never felt this frightened before.
Never would she expect that she would meet Jonathan again so soon and that it would be in such a situation.
She was completely unprepared and didnât have any backup plan. Besides that, there wasnât even a lawyer or secretary around to help her.
Despite that, she was still the third daughter of the Hansley family after all.
As someone who had plenty of experience, she quickly calmed herself down within a few seconds. She then glanced at Jonathan coldly and said, âIâm sorry. Iâm afraid that youâve got the wrong person. I donât even know you.â
âDid you hear that? Ms. Hansley said that she doesnât even know you. What are you still doing here?â
Once Cecilia finished her words, the well-dressed wealthy man behind her hurriedly chimed in.
Such opportunities were rare, and there was no way that they would let them slide.
âExactly? Where are the security guards? Hurry up and chase him out of here.â
âSecurity?â
A few other wealthy men started calling for the security guards with disgruntled expressions. However, no matter how loudly they shouted, there wasnât a single security guard in the entire living room.
âCecilia, could he be your suitor?â
âIsnât he just an attention seeker then?â
âBut Cecilia, you really are charismatic. Even a penniless bum like him would dare to come to a banquet to chase after you.â
âSheâs really out of his league.â
A few wealthy ladies dressed in white gowns with their hair done up covered their mouths and snickered. They were Ceciliaâs best friends, and all of them were from prominent families.
Although they werenât of the same status as the four prominent families, they were still wealthy.
After all, only those who were worth billions could be best friends with Cecilia.
âWhat did you say? You donât know me?â When Jonathan heard Cecilia say that she didnât know who he was, he couldnât help but scoff. âYou owe me a few billion. How dare you say that you donât know me.â
