The Man’s Decree

Chapter 194 Never Too Late

“Why? Why are they so afraid of Jared?” Leyton shouted in rage. He’s just an ex-convict! Why are they all fawning over him?

Slap!

Leyton shut his mouth instantly upon receiving another slap from Yoel.

“Listen to me. From today onward, steer clear of Jared. Pay him the respect he deserves. You’re not in the position to go against him now. No matter how much you hate him, just swallow your pride in the meantime. Besides, it’s never too late to seek revenge. However, now is just not the right time. You’ll only be inviting trouble if you agitate him again,” Yoel advised Leyton assertively while standing up.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

A cold glint flashed across Leyton’s eyes as he nodded. Although I don’t have the capability now, I’ll come back to you in the future.

Indeed, the Scott family was no match for any one of the parties that came for Jared. If Leyton were to strike back, those parties might even link up and destroy the Scott family for good.

Yoel let out a long sigh of relief after seeing Leyton acknowledging the advice given. He then tapped on Leyton’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go. I hope you can learn from this.”

“Ley! Ley!” Sandy grabbed onto Leyton’s legs when she saw him leaving her behind.

Leyton was all that she had left. After all, she had betrayed Jared for him. She’d have no one to rely upon besides Leyton.

Leyton turned and looked at Sandy. He couldn’t bear to leave her.

“Get lost!” Yoel kicked Sandy to the side and scolded, “You b*tch! I knew you were a jinx the moment I laid eyes on you.”

Yoel had never been fond of Sandy because they were too far apart in terms of social status. He had no choice but to give his blessings when Leyton was adamant about marrying her.

But the incident that just happened gave Yoel a solid reason to object to their relationship.

Yoel and Leyton left Sandy sobbing convulsively.

Meanwhile, Josephine was giving Jared a ride back home. Jared then asked Josephine curiously, “How did you all know that the Crimson Dragon Gang was coming at me?”

“I found out about it when I received a call from Mr. and Mrs. Chance. Then, I got my dad to inform Tommy and Mr. Grange,” Josephine explained.

“My parents called?” Jared was shocked for a moment. But it didn’t take long for him to realize that it was Maria who told his parents about the trouble he was facing. Mom and Dad must’ve contacted Josephine right away because they knew she would have contacts for such situations.

Josephine left after sending Jared home. She didn’t accompany him further due to the misunderstandings between her and his parents.

After Jared had gotten out of the car, he walked toward his house. But suddenly, he spotted Hilda lurking behind a towering tree. She was looking right back at him.

Hilda intended to run away the moment she realized Jared had spotted her. Unfortunately, she was stopped in her tracks by Jared.

“Hilda, what are you doing here so late at night?” Jared asked with a puzzled tone.

“I was only taking a stroll after dinner. You ought to get back home now. Your parents are worried sick.” Hilda then left in a rush.

What’s going on with her? Jared shook his head and headed home.

In the house, Hannah was sobbing while Gary was smoking stressfully. Franklin, Maria, and Chloe were also present.

Chloe was constantly comforting Hannah. “Hannah, don’t worry. Jared is going to be fine. He might even be home soon!” Despite her own words, Chloe had a worried expression on her as well.
