The Man's Decree novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 Be Mindful Of Your Place

“Are you saying that I’m not worthy of you?” Xavier questioned.

“What do you think?” Josephine retorted.

All of a sudden, he gave a self-derisive laugh. “Yes, I’m not worthy of you with my lowly status. But why would you rather date someone who had been to prison instead of giving me a chance? Am I even lowlier than an ex-convict?”

He abruptly became emotional, and his tone turned harsh.

Upon hearing that, Josephine frowned. “Whomever I date has nothing to do with you, and you don’t have the right to question me about that.”

“Do you know the kind of person Jared is? Not only is he an ex-convict, but he’s also a Lothario! Do you know that he already has a girlfriend? You’ve been duped!”

As Xavier spoke, he fished out his phone and showed her the photos of Jared with Hilda.

Josephine stared at the photos, her expression turning increasingly grim until her brows scrunched deeply.

Xavier inwardly crowed with delight when he glimpsed her expression and immediately added fuel to the fire, saying, “This girl is known as Hilda Wallace, and she’s his girlfriend. They’re childhood sweethearts and are now colleagues at Sentiment Chemical Limited. It was even him who recommended her to work there!”

Josephine said nothing, merely staring at the two people in the photo silently.

“My feelings for you are genuine, Josephine. I’ll never dupe you. What’s so great about him? How is he better than me?”

Xavier continued pouring out his heart to her.

Slap!

Just a moment after he had finished speaking, Josephine slapped him across the face hard without warning.

That blow blindsided Xavier, and he gaped at her incredulously. He could not fathom why she struck him.
