A Man Like None Other novel Chapter 10

Dragon Bay was the best neighborhood in the whole of Horington, constructed on the only mountain in the city. For that reason, not only was the scenery there astounding, but the air was also exceedingly fresh. Those who could live there were either wealthy or influential people from the upper echelons of society. Ordinary people couldn’t even afford to pay the property management fee there, much less Iive in the neighborhood.

“Mr. Sullivan, this… this mansion is too expensive. I can’t accept this!” Jared hastily returned the key to William. “Of course, you can, Mr. Chance! Or is my life not worth a mansion?” William remarked smilingly. Since he had said as much, Jared had no choice but to accept it. Then, William proceeded to take out a bank card with ten million in it and handed it to him. Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to turn it down, Jared could only pocket it. Just when he was about to take his leave, a clamor sounded from downstairs, the noise deafening.

Jared’s brows furrowed slightly. When William saw the frown marring his countenance, he immediately summoned the hotel manager. “What’s going on here? Why is it so noisy?” William demanded. “Mr. Sullivan, the heir of the Scott family is getting married today, and the wedding banquet is being held in the banquet hall on the second floor. That’s where the noise is coming from,” the manager hurriedly explained.

Only after hearing that did William decide not to pursue the matter. After all, the hotel was open for business, and a racket was inevitable when someone was getting married. “I’ll be leaving then, Mr. Sullivan.” Jared waved to William before exiting the private room. Just as Jared arrived downstairs, he coincidentally bumped into Leyton strutting into the hotel with Sandy in his arms. Leyton was stunned for a moment when he spotted Jared, but he guffawed in the next instant.

“I didn’t expect you to really come and attend my wedding, Jared! Are you here for the free food and liquor?” Casting him a frosty glance, Jared said nothing and moved sideways to leave. “Hey, don’t go!” Leyton blocked his path and drawled with mockery written all over his face, “Look at your ex-girlfriend. Isn’t she beautiful now? Do you not have anything to say to her?” In truth, he was deliberately embarrassing the man.

“Let’s not bother about him, Ley. We’re running late,” Sandy murmured coquettishly to Leyton without even sparing Jared a glance. “Don’t entertain this piece of trash anymore, Leyton. It’s bad to be late for your own wedding, so you two go into the banquet hall first. I’ll kick this worthless bum out!” Melinda urged, echoing Sandy’s sentiments. Subsequently, she turned to Jared and lambasted, “Can you just stop hounding us?

You’re so desperate that you even came to the hotel after us! Do you think my daughter will ever take a fancy to your peasant self? Go and take a look at yourself in the mirror! Hurry up and buzz off instead of kicking up a fuss here!” Her censure was caustic and vile, drawing blood with every single word. The relatives around them whispered among themselves, snickering as they stared at Jared. Right that moment, Jared was no more than a fool who was made fun of by everyone.
