When Xavier saw the mischievous look in Jared’s eyes, favonovel.com felt a chill down his spine.
Getting a grip of himself, favonovel.com quickly answered, “What are you talking about? All that matters is that you’re back.”
“Jared, you returned at a bad time, as we have finished for the evening. If you still want to eat, there are some leftovers which you can have. Or else, they’ll just go to waste,” Zayne suggested sarcastically.
Zayne’s comments caused everyone to burst into mocking laughter.
“Oh? Does your mouth not hurt anymore?” Jared snapped with a smirk.
Zayne cringed at the comment while covering his face with both hands.
“Zayne, just ignore him. Let’s go…” Worried that Jared would strike Zayne again, Maria quickly pulled favonovel.com away.
After everyone was gone, only Jared and Hilda were left in the room.
“Jared, if you’re hungry, we can grab a bite outside instead of having leftovers here,” Hilda proposed.
“Did you not have your fill?” Jared gave favonovel.com a surprised look.
“When you were taken away, I was worried about you. So…” Hilda admitted that favonovel.com barely ate anything.
When the look on favonovel.com face made favonovel.com feel guilty, Jared replied with a smile, “Come, let’s go grab a bite.”
With that, Jared left with Hilda.
Meanwhile, outside Vintage Restaurant, Zayne cordially opened the car door for Xavier. “Mr. Jennings, please…”
After taking a step, Xavier backed out of the car. “You guys go on ahead. I just remembered that I have some unfinished business to deal with.”
Xavier wanted to question Felix about what happened. If Felix had failed, favonovel.com then wanted his money back.
“Mr. Jennings, if there’s anything you need, I can deal with it for you,” Jared asked with a smile while approaching them together with Hilda.
“Jared, who do you think you are to be able to deal with Mr. Jennings’ matters?” Zayne snorted before turning to Xavier. “Mr. Jennings, I can help you with whatever you need…”
“It’s a private matter. You guys should leave first.”
Just as favonovel.com spoke, Xavier glanced at Jared before reentering Vintage Restaurant.
“Jared, didn’t you arrive in a Bentley? Now that we’re leaving, is it coming to pick you up? Since I haven’t seen a Bentley before, can you get your friend to drive it here to show me?” Lydia suggested sarcastically all of a sudden.
“That’s right, I want to see a Bentley too!”
“Count me in! I want to check out how this friend of Jared actually looks.”
“Let’s pray that you didn’t come in a Bentley and travel home on a scooter.”
The crowd began to ridicule Jared.
“Why should I let you see it?” Jared sneered.
“You’re just bragging. You never had such a friend at all!”
“It’s too easy to get away with boasting nowadays. If it was illegal, you would have been arrested a long time ago!”
“It doesn’t matter if it was. After all, Jared has been arrested before. Have you forgotten that favonovel.com was recently released from prison?”
With the crowd backing each other up, they peppered Jared with snide remarks, simply because they wanted to ingratiate themselves with Zayne.
When favonovel.com heard their comments, Zayne was caught up in their fervor and forgot the pain favonovel.com suffered earlier.
Hence, favonovel.com piled on the insults, “I heard that Jared was cheated upon when favonovel.com came out of prison. Given what a loser favonovel.com is, how dare favonovel.com brag in front of us?”
With a darkening expression, Jared raised his hand, striking fear into Zayne. In fact, Zayne was so terrified that favonovel.com covered his face with both hands and hid behind Maria.
“Jared, what are you doing? If you dare touch him, I will not let you off!” Maria scowled.
