The Man's Decree novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430 Fleeting Feelings

After wiping away her tears, Lizbeth began to relate her story.

When Walter was still an official in Summerbank, he was on good terms with the Coopers of Jadeborough. Back then, the Coopers were still an ordinary family. Their influence began to grow only after leveraging Walter’s network.

When Lizbeth had just graduated from university, she was engaged to Franco under Walter’s auspices. Back then, she liked Franco for his distinguished looks and capabilities.

However, the good times didn’t last. After Walter retired, Franco not only called off the engagement but also proposed to Mandy Bailey of the prominent Jadeborough family in front of everyone. Consequently, the matter dealt a severe blow to both Lizbeth and her family. From then on, the two families fell out with each other.

Gritting her teeth, Josephine cursed, “Franco is worse than an animal!”

Jared let out a gentle sigh at the wheel. The relationship only lasted while it was still in their interest to do so. The Coopers have been extremely ruthless in this matter. Unfortunately, many in this day and age behave the same way too.

After having a simple dinner outside, Jared went back, while Josephine spent the night with Lizbeth to comfort her. Subsequently, Jared used the time he had to make more revitalizing pills.

The next morning, Jesse came to see him.

“Mr. Chance, if you want to attend the Martial Arts Gathering, we will have to travel there today. Or else, we might not be able to find any accommodation if we’re late,” Jesse informed him respectfully.

“All right then. Please wait for a moment. Let me leave some instructions with my men.”

After nodding in acknowledgment, Jared ordered Tommy and Phoenix to keep an eye on Josephine. With that, he traveled to Tayhaven Town together with Jesse.

A long time ago, Tayhaven was a poor town. It wasn’t until Herb Palace developed it and held the annual Martial Arts Gathering did it become a thriving place.
