The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 385

The moment Jocelyn left the tea house, Caleb's face twisted into a vicious snarl.

He had just been utterly dominated by a woman. How was he supposed to swallow this humiliation?!

But what else could he do?

She was right—the evidence regarding Arthur Lowell alone was enough to destroy him.

He had executed that plan flawlessly. He thought the secret was buried in the ground with Arthur.

He never imagined it would be dug up.

Worse, it was dug up by the discarded Lowell daughter-in-law they had all mocked.

Who exactly was she?

How did she possess such terrifying capabilities?

Caleb realized he needed to seriously reevaluate Jocelyn.

His bodyguard stepped into the room, taking one look at Caleb's murderous expression and instantly falling silent.

He knew his boss's temper all too well.

The slightest misstep would earn him a brutal screaming match.

And sometimes, physical beatings.

The men who worked for Caleb often harbored intense resentment but never dared to speak up.

Without education or backgrounds, surviving in a ruthless city required enduring Caleb's abuse.

Seeing Caleb backed into a corner filled the bodyguard with secret glee.

Naturally, he kept his face completely blank.

Trying to score a few points, he cautiously asked, "Boss, are you alright?"

The words had barely left his mouth before a heavy backhand cracked across his face.

One slap wasn't enough. Caleb struck him several more times.

The bodyguard stood perfectly still, not daring to make a sound.

Once Caleb had vented his rage, he felt marginally better.

"Go investigate that woman," he ordered coldly. "Find out exactly who she is."

To think she had deduced his involvement in Arthur's death.
