The Legendary Man Chapter 320

You Are A Step Behind

There were countless reputable political figures in the hall exchanging drinks and making merry.

Meanwhile, Zayne was chatting with a few young scions of Yaleview’s notable families.

He hid the fact that the Maxwells would be exiled out of Yaleview, so no one knew that he would nolonger be one of the legendary Baykeep’s Four Elites after tonight.

“Zayne, why did your family suddenly organize such a lavish party tonight?” a middle-aged man in apair of gold-rimmed glasses asked after taking a sip of his red wine.

It had to be said that the Maxwell residence was a place most people could only dream of entering.

Although they were all Yaleview’s well-known scions, there was a stark difference between them andthe Maxwells of the four prominent families.

“Nothing much. My dad just wanted to hold a banquet in celebration of the achievements of our familyfor the past few decades. Hence, I took the opportunity to invite you guys over to our house.” Zaynemaintained his composure and smiled faintly. He did not reveal any hint that their family would not be apart of Yaleview after tonight.

It was their way of preserving the Maxwells’ pride.

Anyone who dared to expose them would be their lifelong enemy. Therefore, they would not allowanyone to give them away.

“No wonder! Given your dad’s personality, he would not have organized such a grand banquet for noreason.” After hearing Zayne’s words, the middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses shook his headand laughed.

At the same time, his gaze inadvertently landed on Sophia, who just entered the room with Lydia.“Look, Zayne! Isn’t that Sophia Goldstein, the one Troy wooed for years in futile?”

“Sophia?” Upon hearing that name, Zayne turned his head subconsciously.

He was pretty familiar with that name as his sister, Lydia, had been a good friend of Sophia since along time ago.

He had even tried to secretly court the woman in the past. However, Sophia did not reciprocate hisfeelings.

Coincidentally, a female celebrity was trying to get close to him then, so he did not bother to put anymore effort into Sophia.

Women! As long as I have money and status, I can get all kinds of women I want.

He would not waste his time and effort on a mere Sophia.novelbin

“You haven’t heard, have you?” The same middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses glanced at Zayneand said, “There’s a rumor saying that Troy’s arms and legs were broken by someone a while ago. Hehas been in the hospital for almost a week and is still in the intensive care unit as of now!”

“Troy’s limbs were broken?” A hint of surprise flashed across Zayne’s eyes. “When did that happen?Why haven’t I heard of it?”

Troy is the only grandson of the Zeller family’s leader, Nathan! He’s the sole heir to the Zellers! Whowould dare to cripple him? That person must be courting death.

“Who else could it be?” After hearing Zayne’s words, the middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glassessneered. “Of course, it’s all because of that woman, Sophia.”

He added, “Rumors have it that after being scolded by Troy, the toyboy she was keeping outside wasfurious and broke Troy’s limbs in a fit of rage. I, too, don’t understand what Troy was thinking. He’s theprominent son of the Zeller family. Why did he have to provoke a toyboy? He should have simply gottensomeone to break the dude’s legs. Look at him now! He’s lying in the hospital and can’t even get out. Ireckon it would be like this for the rest of his life. He’s a cripple now!”

“Toyboy?” Zayne frowned subconsciously. “You’re saying that Sophia is keeping a toyboy secretly, andthe man broke Troy’s limbs?”

“That’s right! Almost everyone in Yaleview knows about it. How come you haven’t heard of it?” Themiddle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses couldn’t help taking a double take at Zayne.

“Then, what happened after that?” Zayne asked casually. “Is that toyboy dead?”

“No idea!” Shaking his head, the middle-aged man answered, “I heard Nathan was enraged anddeclared that they would make the Goldstein family pay for their crimes and kill that toyboy. But, I don’tknow what exactly was done.”

Pay for their crimes? When Zayne heard that phrase, he shook his head, his gaze flickering with atinge of frostiness.

It’s impossible to realize it anymore. It might be possible if it were the Zeller family in the past. Alas, theplight of the Zellers is now the same as us Maxwells. All of us will have to get out of Yaleview aftertonight. What else can they do to make the Goldstein family pay for their crimes?

While Zayne and the few of them continued their conversation, Jonathan entered the hall of theMaxwell residence.

There were numerous men in suits and ties holding glasses of wine in the room. Meanwhile, petitewomen stood beside the men, showcasing their figures and beauty. The ladies would occasionally takea sip from their wine glasses. Every gesture was seductive and alluring.

“Jonathan, I’m here!” Right after Jonathan stepped in, he heard Sophia’s voice.

He looked at her and saw she had a plate of fruits and cakes while walking toward him. “Are youhungry? Do you want to eat something first?”

“It’s okay. I’m not hungry.” The man shook his head, but Sophia did not intend to let it up. “Come on,stop pretending. You haven’t had anything since morning. How can you not be hungry? What? DoesAsura not need to eat?”

As she spoke, she rolled her eyes and picked up a piece of mango with her fork, sending it in front ofJonathan’s mouth.

“Do you need me to feed you, you snob?”

“No. I’ll do it myself.” Seeing that Sophia was still treating him as if he were a five-year-old kid,Jonathan helplessly took the fruit from her hand.

“That’s right. What’s the point of playing cool all day long?” Sophia snorted and took a bite of cake.“Snob, do you want to find a place to chill out? I doubt you’d like to be part of such events.”

“Indeed, I don’t.” Jonathan nodded. He did not know anyone else in the hall apart from Sophia andLydia.

Such events were deemed meaningless in his opinion.

He would not have come if it weren’t for Sophia, even if Nathan went down on his knees and beggedhim.

“Let’s go! There happens to be a seat there.” Sophia coincidentally spotted a corner and tuggedJonathan there by his arm.

Right when they were about to sit down, a woman in a red gown snatched their seats all of a sudden.

“Sorry, you’re a step behind.” The red-dressed lady eyed Sophia haughtily with eyes full of provocation.
