The Man's Decree novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 They Do Not Deserve It

“Don’t kill him so quickly, Mr. Lewis. You’ve got to torture him slowly!” Leyton cried out when he saw that Tommy had arrived.

“Are you teaching me what to do?”

Tommy’s brows knitted together, and he cut his gaze at the young man.

With that mere glance, Leyton was so terrified that he almost peed his pants. He hastily backed away while exclaiming, “No, no! Of course not…”

“How dare you speak to Mr. Lewis in such a manner, you b*stard?” Yoel stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face. Then, he flashed Tommy an apologetic smile and murmured, “My son didn’t know any better, so please don’t take offense at him, Mr. Lewis!”

“Let me tell you something, Yoel Scott. Indeed, I owe the Scott family a favor. However, I’m not a servant of your family! I hope you understand that!” Tommy warned in an icy voice.

“Yes, of course, I understand that! You’re an esteemed guest of the Scott family, Mr. Lewis! How could you possibly be a servant?”

Yoel was frightened to the point that he broke out in a cold sweat. He shot his son a glare.

Leyton had been hurting from his broken arm in the first place, so he presently hung his head low without daring to utter a single word after the slap.

 

Satisfied with Yoel’s attitude, Tommy shifted his gaze back to Jared.

“Mr. Lewis, it was only a moment of rashness on Mr. Chance’s part. The bride was his girlfriend, but Leyton stole her, so he was a tad resentful,” William explained with a cheery smile as he hurriedly moved forward.

“Oh, I see!” Tommy nodded, finally understanding why the seemingly ordinary man dared to kick up a fuss at the Scott family’s wedding. Ah, so it turns out that his girlfriend was stolen from him!

But in the next moment, something occurred to him. He abruptly froze and asked William, “What did you just call him?”
