The Man's Decree novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517 Scapegoat

As soon as Josephine and Lizbeth entered the mansion, they were shocked to see Anthony and two strangers.

“General Long, w-when did you come?” Lizbeth asked Anthony.

He used to be Lizbeth’s leader. Although Lizbeth had resigned, she still felt rather awkward upon seeing him.

“Lizbeth, we’re here to see Mr. Chance!”

Then, he pointed at Theodore and added, “This is Mr. Jackson from Jadeborough.”

“Mr. Jackson, this is Mr. Grange’s granddaughter. She used to be my right-hand man but has resigned.”

Anthony displayed an embarrassed smile as he introduced them to each other.

Once Lizbeth heard Theodore was a prominent figure from Jadeborough, she quickly put down her belongings and came up to him. “Mr. Jackson, nice to meet you.”

“Hahaha, so you’re Mr. Grange’s granddaughter. Nice to meet you too.” Theodore said and laughed heartily.

“Is Jared at home?”

Josephine felt a little confused, for she didn’t see Jared even when guests had arrived.

“Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Chance’s maid asked us to wait for him. However, he hasn’t come out, even though we’ve been waiting for more than ten minutes,” Anthony said, his tone filled with slight discontent.

Josephine wasn’t dumb and understood Jared well. He surely had his reason if he wanted to keep them waiting.

“Since Jared has said so, I’m sure he has something important to deal with. General Long, please be seated. We have to get changed.”

Josephine didn’t want to interfere with Jared’s decision and would support him all the way. Besides, she wouldn’t argue if the things he did were right or wrong.
