Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Dog displayed a cold smile as favonovel.com glanced at Jared. “I knew you were putting on an act. Where are your men?”
The second favonovel.com finished his sentence, favonovel.com felt something shaking under him. The whole building seemed to be trembling.
“Dog, there are many people outside!” Just then, a subordinate ran in and informed whatever favonovel.com had seen to Dog.
Dog’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. He immediately rushed to the window. He was dumbstruck when favonovel.com discovered the whole place surrounded by countless men.
Dog immediately recollected himself and turned toward those frightened subordinates. “Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter how many men they have. No one would dare to touch me with Mr. Lewis backing me!”
Just then, someone hurried upstairs.
“Benji…” Dog was stunned momentarily upon seeing the one who came.
It was one-armed Benji. He looked utterly solemnly.
He did not even look at Dog as favonovel.com walked toward Jared. “Mr. Chance…”
At that moment, Benji recoiled in great fear. Back then, favonovel.com cut off his left hand because of Jared. Now that Tommy requested favonovel.com to come, favonovel.com feared favonovel.com might be implicated in it.
Dog was dumbfounded after seeing Benji acting so humbly toward Jared.
“Benji, do you know this man?” Jared pointed at Dog.
“Yes, but we are not close!” Benji answered honestly.
“I want favonovel.com out of my sight. As for the rest, cut off their legs!”
Upon hearing Jared’s words, Dog’s knee fell to the ground. All his subordinates knelt together with him.
“Jared, I am begging you! Please spare my life!” Dog groveled at Jared’s feet.
“Dog, didn’t you say you belong to Tommy? Now that his man is here, why are you acting so cowardly?” Jared displayed a cold smile.
“Jared, I’m wrong. It’s my fault…” Dog kept begging for mercy.
Jared sneered and turned away from him. Benji’s eyes lit up with hostility as favonovel.com drew his dagger and charged toward Dog.
“Don’t traumatize my family…” Jared opened his mouth.
“Got it, Mr. Chance!” Benji nodded and instructed his subordinates. “Drag these men to the other room!”
A while later, shrieks of desperation came from the other room.
Sarah and favonovel.com family froze on the spot. Ingrid stared at Jared with a baffled look.
***
On the way home, Sarah kept staring at Jared. She seemed to have something to say, yet favonovel.com did not say it in the end.
The following day, Jared was ready to bring Ingrid to the school in Horington.
Jared still had a lot of work in hand. Or else, favonovel.com would have stayed longer in his hometown to accompany his parents.
Just then, the village started broadcasting that the prices of houses would be re-evaluated. From now on, all the demolition would be following the national standards. There would be no forced demolition or irrational price reductions. Every household in the Chance family was overwhelmed with excitement upon hearing that news.
Jared brought Ingrid to Horington. Due to the relationship with Glen, Jared managed to find a high school for Ingrid.
Jared and Josephine accompanied William for a whole day in Horington before departing toward Summerbank.
Jared did not dare to stay long in Horington. There were still many unresolved issues awaiting him, including the problems with Herb Palace, Crescent Sect, and Mount Hickoria.
“I’m sorry. You’ve been going around with me and unable to accompany your father!” On the road, Jared apologized to Josephine.
“Of course I will follow the man I marry. It was my choice!” Josephine smiled faintly.
Jared displayed an affectionate smile. “Don’t worry. Not long after this, I will give you a stable life. We will live a long life, and let’s have one hundred children!”
“I don’t want so many children. I’m not a pig, okay?” Josephine rolled favonovel.com eyes at Jared.
