The Man’s Decree

Chapter 222 No Turning Back In Life

At Jared’s question, Sandy shook her head vigorously. “No! I’m not done! Please forgive me, Jared! I was really coerced into it all! I had no choice either!”

“That has nothing to do with me anymore!”

Then, Jared started wounding up the car window.

However, Sandy clung to the car window and refused to let go.

In the passenger seat, Josephine’s blood boiled. Despite the torrential rain, she swung open the car door and stalked out.

“How shameless are you? Hurry up and let go! If you dare pester my husband anymore, I’ll get someone to break your leg! Mark my words!” Josephine roared at Sandy. Eyeing the latter disdainfully, she continued, “Who do you think you are? Compared to me, how are you better in any way? Are you more loaded than me? Are you more powerful than me? Or are you more beautiful than me? You’re inferior to me in all aspects! Why should Jared forgive you and choose you? There’s no turning back in life! Since you didn’t know how to appreciate him, it’s now too late to come and beg him! Buzz off!”

Subsequently, Josephine kicked her hard, sending her to the ground.

Sandy glowered at Josephine, but she hadn’t the guts or temerity to utter a single word.

After all, Josephine was right in that Sandy couldn’t hold a candle to her. As such, there was no reason for Jared to choose her.

When she had ceased at long last, Josephine made her way back to the passenger seat and slammed the door shut. “Drive!”

Jared glanced at her, a smile tugging at his lips. He floored the gas pedal and sped off.

“Jared!” Sandy yelled.

Alas, Jared paid her no mind.

Sandy had always thought that it was Josephine backing Jared up. Hence, there was nothing to fear about him after Josephine dumped him. Never had she expected herself to be a clown in the end. In truth, the Sullivan family could neither influence Walter nor Tommy. Instead, everything was because of Jared.

That said, she just couldn’t fathom what exactly had changed about him that all those big shots treated him deferentially.

“Why are you smiling? Don’t you think that I’m particularly fierce?” Josephine questioned, throwing Jared a glare.

The latter hastily shook his head. “Nope! I like such a temperament!”

Hearing that, Josephine tittered. “Really? She’s lucky I didn’t get someone to break her leg when she dared seduce my husband right in front of me!”

Soon, the car came to a stop in front of the mansion. Alighting from the car, Jared said to Josephine, “You can head home now.”

“Where am I supposed to go when I’m all soaked? I’ll catch a cold if I go home in this state!”

While saying that, Josephine got out of the car as well.

“What do you mean? Don’t tell me you want to stay here?” Jared queried in surprise.

“Why? What’s the problem with me staying here? Why can’t I do so when they are plenty of rooms here? Don’t tell me you want me to share a room with you? In your dreams!”

After saying that, Josephine strode right into the mansion.

Helpless was etched on Jared’s face as he stared at her back, but utter exhilaration bubbled within him.

Although he had become an energy cultivator and experienced much change in his mentality, he was still a man.

He was a hot-blooded man, so he would also have all the thoughts innate to a man.

“Jared, where did you go? It’s very late now, and it’s even pouring.”

At the sound of the door clicking open, Hannah’s anxious voice drifted over.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Chance. We went hiking and came back too late,” Josephine hurriedly explained upon hearing the woman’s voice.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Oh, it’s you, Josephine! It’s okay, so don’t worry about it. Come and have a seat! You must have gotten wet since it’s raining heavily outside, huh?”

Hannah was instantly all smiles when she heard Josephine’s voice.

She stepped forward to touch Josephine, only to find that the latter was indeed drenched. At once, she fretted, “Look, you’re indeed soaked. I only have a few changes of clothes, and they don’t fit you either. What should we do?”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Chance. There’s a room upstairs with my clothes, so I’ll go and change,” Josephine replied with a smile.
