The Man's Decree novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 I Will Pay

“F*ck, who drank the liquor that I gave Mr. Chance? Step forward and identify yourself!” Tommy roared as he glared at Benedict and his family.

His ferocious glare scared everyone out of their wits as the blood drained from their faces. Collectively, they looked toward Simon.

“D-Don’t look at me! I didn’t do anything. It’s just everyone’s assumption. The theft has nothing to do with me at all!” Utterly terrified, Simon’s legs nearly gave away.

After all, Tommy was a man with a feared reputation. Provoking him was like poking the bear with a stick.

“So you were the one behind this! Who told you to drink the wine?” In two large steps, Tommy lunged at Simon and grabbed him by the collar. “Spit out the wine you drank right now!”

Bam!

Without warning, Tommy slammed his fist against Simon’s abdomen. The sudden impact caused the latter to shriek in agony.

“M-Mr. Lewis, please stop hitting him! He’s my son. For my sake, please stop!” In a haze of panic, Devin rushed forward and tried to stop Tommy.

“F*ck you! You should know your place! You are nothing more but a health minister. The audacity of you to try and stop me!” Tommy kicked Devin aside and continued to beat Simon up.

As Simon’s anguished wails filled the air, the Chance family cowered fearfully in the corner.

“Mr. Lewis, how much is the wine? I’ll pay for it,” Devin blurted out.

He was afraid that his own son would be beaten to death.

“The liquors were limited editions of Sauvignon Blanc. One bottle costs five hundred thousand. Altogether, both bottles cost one million!” Tommy snarled in reply.

“O-One million?” Devin was utterly dumbfounded.

Since Devin merely worked as a health minister, one million was not a small amount of money to him.
