The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 76

Maria had previously asked Franklin for Gary's number. When the latter answered, she rudely snapped, “Do you know the time now? How much longer do you want me to wait? You don't even care about punctuality! Don't forget that it's your family begging me for a favor! Yet, you want me to wait?”

She hung up right after saying that without giving Gary any chance to respond.

Meanwhile, Gary was stunned for a long while after the phone conversation ended. Embarrassment showed on his face, and he felt chagrined at having been lectured by the young Maria at his age. But recalling that Jared had to depend on her to recommend him a job, he endured the humiliation.

“Who was that on the phone, Dad?” Jared queried.

“It was Maria. She's already waiting downstairs, so hurry up and go down. Remember to speak nicely to her.”

Gary started urging him to go downstairs.

After Jared went downstairs, he saw Maria waiting at the entrance. Hence, he went over to her and murmured apologetically, “I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.”

The moment Maria spotted him, she promptly barked with fury etched on her face, “If it weren't for my father's orders, I wouldn't have come to pick you up! Look at your dressing! What era is that suit from? How dated!”

Jared's brows furrowed slightly, but he suppressed his anger and explained, “I bought it three years ago, but I've never worn it, so it's still new.”

“New my foot! No young man in this era would wear such an old-fashioned suit!” Maria curled her lips derisively.

“T-Then, should I go back up and change?” Jared questioned.

“Forget about it! There's no time for that when it's already late now! Hurry up and get into the car!” Maria opened the car door with a frosty expression and climbed into the car unceremoniously.

Jared wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but Maria snarled at him when he opened the car door, “Sit in the back! Do you think you're worthy of sitting in the passenger seat?”

At that, Jared frowned again though he did as ordered and slipped into the back seat. Without even waiting for him to settle, Maria floored the gas pedal.

It was fortunate that he knew martial arts, or he would have slammed into the front seat.
