A Man Like None Other novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455 Women In The Village

“Something caught up, and I have to put the trip on hold. But I want you to buy more stones from Mount Hickoria!” Jared said to Dominic.

“Sure. I’ll go to Mount Hickoria myself and check out the stones!”

After Dominic left, Jared told Josephine about Ingrid’s wedding. She knew a trip to the village might not be pleasant, but as someone who understood Jared, she agreed right away.

They then started their journey and drove back to Jared’s hometown.

His hometown is a village in Horington that used to be a small settlement, but its landscape had drastically changed due to the development in the last few years.

Jared saw many houses were slapped with a demolition notice to make way for development projects. That was why Benedict insisted on getting his hands on the family residence!

Children were running around in the village. Jared did not know anyone of them since he had not returned for many years.

“Hey, taking a break from work?” He rolled down the car’s window and greeted the seniors who were sitting by the curb.

Jared knew who they were. After all, he grew up in the village and stayed here until middle school. He only moved out when his father was transferred to work in the city.

The elderly folks walked over to take a closer look. One of the middle-aged women instantly recognized Jared. “Aren’t you Jared? I thought you were still in jail? Since when were you released? And now you’re driving a Mercedes-Benz?”

She studied Jared from head to toe.

Jared responded with a wry smile. “I came out of jail not long ago.”
