The Man's Decree novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Claptrap

Unlike the others, Jared snorted in response. Zayne was furious at his reaction.

“What’s with you, Jared?” Zayne asked with an irritated tone.

“Oh, nothing. I’m just amazed at how a person with your puny departmental managerial post would dare to form cliques in the company.” Contempt was written all over Jared’s face.

“Okay, you’re right. I’m only a departmental manager. But too bad for you, I’m still your superior. Now, I’d like to announce that you’re fired!” Zayne let out a cold smile. Xavier was the one who wanted to keep you here only to humiliate you. But now that he’s gone, I have no reason to keep you around anymore.

“You have no rights to fire me,” Jared answered flatly.

“I have the absolute right! I’m your superior! Whatever I say in the sales department is final. No one can stop me from firing you. Don’t you have a mansion already? What are you still doing here? Experiencing life? Leave now!” Zayne thundered. I must get rid of you. You’re like a ticking time bomb! All you do is disrupt my department.

Upon hearing that, Maria jumped to Jared’s defense. “Zayne, Jared has just secured a contract with Cosmic Chemical. Must you…”

“Shut up!” Zayne immediately cut Maria off. “Are you into him? Why are you defending him? Because of him, you bailed on the dinner I’d organized with all my heart. We didn’t even get to discuss our marriage! You’re into him, aren’t you?”

Zayne’s words had put Maria on the spot, and awkwardness overwhelmed her.

“W-What nonsense are you on about? That day, Jared was in trouble. All I did was inform his parents about it. Why would you think otherwise?” Maria explained hastily.
