The Man's Decree novel Chapter 166

“Jared, did you refuse to eat with me because of this woman?” Hilda mumbled, tears welling up in her eyes. Meanwhile, William and Walter were sitting in the living room at the Sullivan residence and chatting over tea. In the past, William would never have a chance to chat with Walter over tea even though he was the richest man in Horington.

 

However, William’s identity was different now. Since everyone already knew him as Jared’s father-in-law, his status had become much more prominent than being the richest man in Horington.

Soon, Josephine and Jared arrived. When Walter saw Jared, he quickly stood up. “Mr. Chance…” “Don’t stand on ceremony, Mr. Grange. You look very healthy recently,” said Jared with a smile. “It’s all thanks to you! Otherwise, my frail body would’ve already been destroyed by that vengeful dragon.” Walter knew that it was all thanks to Jared that he could remain so healthy. Were it not for Jared’s intervention, he would have collapsed after sitting on the Dragon Throne all the time. “You have strong physique, Mr. Grange,” replied Jared amiably.

“Jared, I heard from Josephine that you’re working at Sentiment Chemical Limited now. Is that true?” William asked Jared. “Yeah! I’m a salesman now.” He nodded. “Why bother with that? When I asked you if you like business, you said that you don’t. Yet, you’ve become a petty salesman now. Are you planning to start from the bottom?” probed William. Jared shook his head. He did not know how to explain. When he attended the interview, he did not know that the company belonged to the Sullivan family. Furthermore, he did not plan on working for a long time.

He merely wanted to put his parents at ease for the time being. Noticing Jared’s silence, William continued, “I’ve already made arrangements for you to take over Josephine’s position as the chairman next Monday.
