The Man's Decree novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Ganging Up

When Xavier saw the mischievous look in Jared’s eyes, he felt a chill down his spine. Getting a grip of himself, he quickly answered, “What are you talking about? All that matters is that you’re back.”

“Jared, you returned at a bad time, as we have finished for the evening. If you still want to eat, there are some leftovers which you can have. Or else, they’ll just go to waste,” Zayne suggested sarcastically.

Zayne’s comments caused everyone to burst into mocking laughter.

“Oh? Does your mouth not hurt anymore?” Jared snapped with a smirk.

Zayne cringed at the comment while covering his face with both hands.

“Zayne, just ignore him. Let’s go.”

Worried that Jared would strike Zayne again, Maria quickly pulled him away.

After everyone was gone, only Jared and Hilda were left in the room.

“Jared, if you’re hungry, we can grab a bite outside instead of having leftovers here,” Hilda proposed.

“Did you not have your fill?” Jared gave her a surprised look.

“When you were taken away, I was worried about you. So…” Hilda admitted that she barely ate anything.

When the look on her face made him feel guilty, Jared replied with a smile, “Come, let’s go grab a bite.”

With that, Jared left with Hilda.

Meanwhile, outside Vintage Restaurant, Zayne cordially opened the car door for Xavier. “Mr. Jennings, please…”

After taking a step, Xavier backed out of the car. “You guys go on ahead. I just remembered that I have some unfinished business to deal with.”

Xavier wanted to question Felix about what happened. If Felix had failed, he then wanted his money back.
