The Man's Decree novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 You Are Fired

After Maria confirmed Hilda’s story, everyone believed it. Zayne suddenly remembered being overtaken by a Bentley when he was on the way there.

“Jared, did you hire a private Bentley just to get ahead of me? You must’ve spent a fortune! Is that really necessary?” Zayne asked Jared scornfully. Determined to not give in, he desperately tried to discredit Jared.

“No, that’s not it! It was Jared’s friend.” Hilda once again defended Jared. She hated it whenever someone looked down on Jared.

“Hmph! Do you really think he has a friend who could afford a Bentley? If so, you’re too naive! I bet you’re the only one who believes him.” Zayne mocked then he turned and asked the others, “Do you guys believe Jared?”

“No way! He’s so poor! There’s no way he could have a rich friend.”

“Yeah, he’s bluffing. I could bluff too and say that I have a friend who owns a private jet!”

“He can bluff all he wants, but he should know the limits! He’s too poor to make such a statement.”

Everyone took their turn to ridicule Jared.

Despite having seen it with her own eyes, Maria was adamant that the Bentley driver wasn’t Jared’s friend. Out of all of them, Hilda was the only one who believed Jared.

 

Upon seeing that Jared had kept quiet the whole time, Zayne assumed that he had caught Jared with his pants down. He then yelled out cheerily, “Let’s go in! Mr. Jennings is waiting for us. Before that, let me be clear about one thing. Whoever dares to get under Mr. Jennings’ skin today, that person’s doomed.”

Everyone nodded. Obviously, no one would dare to defy Zayne, let alone Xavier.

Zayne led all of them to a private room Xavier had booked for them. Before going in, everyone was very self-conscious about how they looked. They wanted to look their best for Xavier.
