The Man's Decree novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251 Should Have Asked For More

Shock colored Glen’s features as he listened on. In a daze, he grabbed the contract from the bed and was alarmed to see his signature and seal on it.

If Jared hadn’t shown up, the contract would’ve been processed, and I would have been deemed a criminal in Horington. Worse yet, I might even be arrested!

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead as he hurriedly tore the contract into pieces. The whole time, his heart was racing from anxiousness.

The events on that day had totally changed his perception of life.

“Young— Mr. Chance, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, the consequences would have been disastrous. I’m sorry for treating you like that when you were so kind as to offer me a reminder this afternoon,” Glen apologized, his face flushing with embarrassment.

“Mr. Lowe, there’s no need to thank me. I’m merely trying to protect the well-being of the citizens of Horington!” Jared flashed him a faint smile.

“Mr. Chance, you’re such a benevolent man even though you are still young. How I wish my son could be like you…”

Glen heaved a sigh at the mention of his son.

“Mr. Lowe, don’t worry too much. People will change eventually,” Jared comforted the mayor. “What should we do with these three people?” he then asked.

Glen furrowed his brows as he stared at Nicholas and the two businessmen.

Even though they conspired to control him and exploit Horington, they were not citizens of the city, after all. Even if Glen got to the bottom of the matter, the worst punishment he could give was only banishing them from Horington. That hardly seemed to be a fair punishment for such a crime.

Sensing that Glen was in a dilemma, Jared voiced, “Mr. Lowe, I will handle them. Please go back and rest. Also, do not go out tonight. Your soul is damaged, so it’s easy for accidents to happen!”

Glen no longer chided Jared for being superstitious since he still had lingering fear from the earlier events.

“I got it. I’ll have to trouble you with this matter then, Mr. Chance. When I have the time, I’ll surely pay you a visit to express my gratitude!”

Upon saying so, Glen left hastily. It sure seemed like he was traumatized by the whole incident.
