The Man's Decree novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 The Wedding Is Canceled

In an instant, everyone was stunned. After all, no one in Horington dared to go against Tommy’s orders. But that day, the seemingly ordinary Jared wasn’t showing him any respect at all.

Tommy’s expression turned chilly, and his eyes radiated murder.

Off to the side, Leyton was close to bursting with laughter as he inwardly crowed, Kill him! Finish him off!

“Mr. Chance, h-hurry up and apologize to Mr. Lewis!”

Josephine hastily tugged at Jared’s sleeve, feeling so apprehensive that she was drenched in a cold sweat.

“How dare you go against Mr. Lewis, kid? You must have a death wish!” one of Tommy’s lackeys roared as he swung his fist at Jared.

“Mr. Lewis, I apologize on behalf of Mr. Chance!”

William descended into a panic when he saw that Tommy’s lackey was about to make a move. However, he didn’t dare order his men to act since his dozens of security guards were no match for Tommy’s several hundred lackeys, even if he were to risk his life. The ending would be the same, but the Sullivan family would only be dragged into the mess.

Tommy said nothing, neither entertaining his apology nor ordering his lackey to stop.

That lackey of his was tall and burly and was almost a head taller than Jared. Not only that, he was bulging with muscles. Therefore, Jared would probably be crippled even if he didn’t die from that single blow.

Both Leyton and Sandy regarded Jared with a sneer. Warrick and Juliette likewise anticipated seeing his pitiful state in a moment, waiting to see him make a fool of himself. That went doubly for the former since he was still hurting badly from the slap that sent him flying earlier. Therefore, he wanted to see Jared crippled.

But just as the lackey’s fist drew close to Jared’s face, Jared reached out and caught the gigantic fist. No matter how much force the man exerted, he found that he simply couldn’t move his hand.

At that sight, everyone was bowled over. Even Tommy couldn’t help taking a closer look at Jared.

Alas, he felt as though he was on the verge of a heart attack when he truly scrutinized the man.

He had obviously noticed the bronze-colored ring on Jared’s finger as well as the carved dragon on it.
