The Man's Decree novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241 Grass Roots

“Of course, I did. I am not a fool. But I only peeped through the red cloth so that the ginseng wouldn’t escape,” Frederick immediately explained.

His response only served to convince Jared and Josephine that he was cheated. Even William kept shaking his head, displaying a resigned smile.

Frederick was born in a well-to-do family and had never been in the real world, so he was still naive. After all, no one would dare to offend the mayor’s son. Thus, he had no idea how cruel society could be.

That Audi outside the Sullivan residence alone would deter everyone from getting near him. In Horington, People would run away from him no matter where he drove that car.

“I believe that you are not lying. I mean it!” Jared’s tone turned serious suddenly.

Just as Frederick was staring at him confusedly, Jared laughed again. “But I don’t trust the farmer who sold you this. Maybe he cheated you.”

At that, Frederick shot him a glare. I knew it! He still doesn’t believe me!

“I will prove it to you right now! Let’s see whether it is authentic ginseng or not!”

In a panic, Frederick took the box and undid the cord.

After opening the box, he froze on the spot. It turned out there was merely a handful of grass roots inside. The thousand-year-old ginseng root was nowhere in sight.

“Hahaha…”

Upon seeing that, Josephine burst into a peal of laughter. She was laughing so hard that she almost shed tears.

William could not hold in his laughter too.

He paid a million for a few grass roots. That’s so pitiful.

“D*mn it. How dare he cheat me? I swear I will find him and sue him. This is unforgivable!”

Upon hearing them laughing at him, Frederick exploded with rage and smashed the box on the floor.
