The Man's Decree novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 She Meant Well

Meanwhile, at the mansion on top of Dragon Bay, Gary and Hannah were resting in the living room after taking a stroll. They were still trying to digest the fact that they were living in such a luxurious home.

Even though this is just temporary, it’s more than enough to experience this!

“It seems that luck is on our side! Although Jared has just gotten out of prison, he has already made such a good friend in Josephine. I wonder how did those two meet each other,” Hannah said, beaming.

“Me too. But Ms. Sullivan does seem like a kind soul.” As Gary used to be a civil servant, he had seen all sorts of people. Hence, he was always a good judge of character.

“Since she’s from such a wealthy family, what do you think she sees in Jared?” Deep down, Hannah had always been worried about the fact that those two were from two different worlds and weren’t meant for each other.

However, right at the moment when Gary wanted to answer Hannah, a man in a dashing suit showed up out of nowhere, catching Gary by surprise.

“Let me answer your question!” the man exclaimed. “Josephine is actually fooling around with Jared. Do you guys really think the famous Ms. Sullivan would be interested in Jared? Stop daydreaming! Jared is way out of her league! He’s just a university graduate! Besides, he’s poor. No parents of a lady from such a prominent family would accept Jared. Josephine is just showing her gratitude to him for saving her father’s life. Do you really think that they’re ever going to get married? I’m Josephine’s real boyfriend. We’re meant for each other. I’d suggest that you guys give up on your ridiculous hopes and dreams. Don’t you know where your son stands?”

With that, the man sneered at them, his eyes filled with disdain.

Gary and Hannah blanched upon hearing that. Despite the rude intrusion, they knew that the man had a point. Not only was Jared just a commoner, but he was also an ex-convict. No parents would accept Jared as a son-in-law.

The man was pleased with Gary’s and Hannah’s reactions. He took out a stack of cash and threw them on the ground. “Take them and leave! Don’t give me a reason to force you out of that door!”
