A Man Like None Other Chapter 168 

Xavier made a call to Zayne.  Zayne, tell Jared to come to my office. Zayne, who was still sitting in his office and fuming, was surprised when he received Xavier’s call. “Zayne, why is Mr. Jennings looking for Jared?” asked Maria.

“How would I know? Zayne frowned, as he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. “Is Mr. Jennings giving all the commission to Jared? I’ve already noticed that Jared is somehow associated with him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given Jared such a good opportunity!” Maria said furiously. “All right. Stop nagging. I’m in a bad mood now!” Zayne shot Maria a glare before leaving the office and walking to Jared’s desk. “Jared, Mr. Jennings instructed you to go to his office. It’s probably about the contract. You know very well what you should say to him. If Maria and I hadn’t built a good relationship with Cosmic Chemical, would you have managed to secure the contract so easily?” Glancing at Zayne, Jared gave a sneer. Without saying anything else, he got up and left. 

Zayne was furious when he saw Jared’s reaction. He couldn’t help but murmur, “Hmph! If it weren’t for Maria’s recommendation, you wouldn’t be able to remain with this company. How dare you oppose me? I’ll make you regret it sooner or later.” After Jared arrived at Xavier’s office, the secretary wanted to inform Xavier about Jared’s arrival first. However, Jared directly pushed the door open and entered, not giving the secretary a chance to stop him.

Mr. Jennings, he… he insisted on barging in!” the secretary explained to Xavier anxiously. Staring at Jared, Xavier waved his hands at the secretary and instructed, “Get out. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter.”

The secretary nodded and left, closing the door behind her. “Take a seat.” Xavier pointed at the chair in front of him. Jared did not stand on ceremony and directly sat opposite him. Just like that, they stared at each other for a minute in total silence.

“Why did you look for me? Speak now. I’m busy!” Jared urged, since Xavier kept staying quiet. “Jared, I’ve already investigated your background. You’re just an ordinary guy and an ex-convict. Why do you deserve to be liked by Josephine? Why do you deserve to become the chairman? Why?” Xavier glared at Jared intently. He could not understand why Josephine liked Jared but not him, who had studied overseas and was a top student.

If Jared was a rich heir or the son of a politician, Xavier would not have felt so aggrieved. However, Jared was just an average man who was even an ex-convict. Despite that, Josephine would rather like Jared over himself. Xavier could not figure that out no matter what. Jared smirked teasingly. “Liking someone doesn’t require all those reasons. Josephine simply likes me. What can you do about it?”His expression and tone immediately provoked Xavier.

Despite his prior efforts to calm himself down, he lost his temper at that moment, “Jared, I want you to leave Horington right now and stay away from Josephine. Don’t ever come back. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it!” Xavier bellowed with all his might as he stared at Jared with wide eyes. “Regret it?” Jared smirked coldly. “I’ve never regretted anything before. Furthermore, someone like you has no right to command me, let alone threaten me.” “I’ll show you whether I have the right to command you.” As Xavier spoke, he suddenly whipped out the gun in the drawer and aimed it at Jared. Since it was Xavier’s first time pointing a gun at someone, his hands trembled terribly.
