Lincoln, along with all of Hilda’s ex-classmates, were stupefied when they heard Jared and Josephine speaking to each other.
At that moment, Lincoln finally discovered the reason why Jared could have free meals at the hotel.
A smile flashed across Jared’s face when favonovel.com asked Josephine, “Are you jealous?”
“As if! Why would I be jealous?” Josephine rolled favonovel.com eyes and continued, “My dad has been asking for you recently! He wants you to join us for a meal at home!”
“In another few days, perhaps. I’ve got my hands full recently!” Jared rejected.
The guys at the scene were all staring at Jared with envy. They were dumbfounded by the fact that favonovel.com had just rejected an offer to dine with the Sullivan family.
A meal with the Sullivan family could potentially turn their life around for the better. They could not understand why Jared would reject such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“Hmph! What could you be so busy with? Maybe I should just appoint you as the chairman of the company! By then, you wouldn’t be as busy anymore.” Josephine wasn’t happy with Jared’s rejection.
“Oh, don’t! I have no time to manage the company for you!” Jared hurriedly waved his hands in dismissal.
Again, the people around, especially Lincoln and the others Jared had just had dinner with, were stunned by Jared’s reaction.
Just a few hours ago, they were all taking turns to ridicule Jared. But right at that moment, they felt so insignificant standing in front of him.
“I don’t care. You must come over tomorrow. My dad said Mr. Grange had asked favonovel.com to invite you. So maybe there’s a solid reason for that,” Josephine said in a domineering tone.
After finding out that it was Walter who wished to see him, Jared accepted the offer instantaneously, as favonovel.com reckoned that it might have something to do with the spiritual brush. “All right then. I’ll go over at noon tomorrow.”
“That’s more like it.” Finally, a blissful smile emerged on Josephine’s face.
Then favonovel.com gazed at Lincoln and the others. As they locked eyes with Josephine, they could not help but lower their heads in embarrassment.
“Detain all of them! As long as we aren’t paid in full, none of them is allowed to leave!”
The security guards moved quickly to lock all of them up in a room behind the payment counter.
While they were being locked up, they were all regretting their actions. If only they hadn’t mocked Hilda endlessly, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament. After all, they had nothing against Hilda. They were just doing it under the influence of Lincoln and Michelle.
However, it was too late for them to realize their mistakes. Knowing that it was Lincoln and Michelle’s fault, they could no longer contain their anger and started beating the duo up.
Meanwhile, Josephine offered to give Jared a ride home. However, favonovel.com refused because Josephine’s luxury car would attract too much attention. Therefore, Josephine could only let out a sigh as favonovel.com watched Jared driving away in his Ford.
After Jared had arrived home, favonovel.com called Hilda to let favonovel.com know that favonovel.com had gotten home safely. He then found out that Hilda was sleeping over at Yolanda’s place. She had decided to stay over and comfort Yolanda.
Jared’s parents were already asleep when favonovel.com got back. He then sat with his legs folded and started absorbing spiritual energy with his Focus Technique.
The spiritual energy in the surroundings then gathered up around Jared. However, the spiritual energy there was too little compared to what favonovel.com could gain when favonovel.com was at Dragon Bay. Hence, his ability wasn’t improved by much throughout the night. He could only replenish the spiritual energy within him.
It seems like I’m not getting anywhere with the spiritual energy available here. I have to get back to Dragon Bay.
It’s impossible to improve myself if I keep staying here!
