The Man's Decree novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 It Would Be A Pity

Dexter could not quite believe it, yet the facts were right before his eyes.

Thud!

His legs gave out, and he fell to his knees before Jared.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Chance! Please spare me!”

Dexter frantically pleaded for mercy even as he prostrated himself.

If Jared were merely Josephine’s boyfriend, he would not have been so petrified. After all, the fact that he dared to owe the Sullivan family money made it clear that he was not afraid of them. Despite being the wealthiest family in Horington, the Sullivan family was only involved in legal businesses, so someone in the underground circles like him was not the least bit intimidated.

Alas, not only had Josephine publicly acknowledged Jared as her boyfriend but Tommy and Walter had also treated him as their honored guests. As such, he was not someone Dexter could afford to offend.

At the sight of Dexter’s pathetic demeanor, Jared snorted and strode right past him.

After Jared had left, Dexter slumped onto the ground. A puddle had long since formed beneath him.

As Jared stepped out onto the street, planning to hail a taxi back to the office, he suddenly spotted Hilda sprinting over from the road across.

“Jared!”

Hilda ran toward Jared excitedly when she saw him exiting the building.

A wealth of warmth suffused Jared upon seeing that she had not left but waited for him instead.

Just as she was darting across the road, a speeding car barreled toward her. Stark horror assailed Hilda when she saw that, causing her to be instantly rooted to the spot. For a moment, her mind went blank.

When the driver noticed that someone had dashed into the road, he desperately slammed on the brakes. The ear-splitting screech and smoke from the tires had the atmosphere turning tense at once.

The instant Jared saw the impending collision, he circulated his energy and shot out. Shielding Hilda behind him, he slammed his hands on the speeding car.
